T.I. touched down at Gold Club in Atlanta for Halloween dressed as NFL star and fellow ex-convict Michael Vick from his Atlanta Falcon days. His wife Tiny got in on the fun too, coming as a referee. Sources tell TMZ that the controversial costume idea was Tiny’s, but Tip agreed because he’s been a Vick fan since he played for the Falcons and still has respect for him.

Even though Halloween fell on a Monday this year, that didn’t stop the stars from getting wild and crazy with their costumes. Some opted for cute (Fergie), others preferred scary (Keyshia Cole), and a few aimed for the laughs (Teyana Taylor).

Kanye West, who had the night off from touring with Jay-Z, was “Bad” like his idol Michael Jackson in a Jheri curl wig and varsity jacket, while hosting a party with supermodel Anja Rubik in New York City.

Chris Brown caused a stir on Twitter after revealing a little too much in his green alien bodysuit. Bruno Mars took it back to the ’80s as leader of his hair band Chrome Nipple. Tyler, the Creator slapped on some suspenders and face makeup and went as a skinhead.

The sweet Leona Lewis killed as a gory prom queen, Monica showed her good and evil sides as a nun and skeleton, and Keyshia Cole and her husband Daniel Gibson scared off the trick-or-treaters with their frightful fashions.

The award for most random costume goes to Teyana Taylor, who dressed as the white guy Bob from marketing on “Martin.” Fergie hammed it up as a child pageant queen from “Toddlers & Tiaras,” Amber Rose rocked out as Slash, Keri Hilson made a last minute costume play as a basketball player, Nina Sky paid tribute to Milli Vanilli, and Estelle and Melanie Fiona hit up the town as Diana Ross and Carmen Miranda.

Beyoncé was all the buzz in her Halloween costume. Queen Bee dressed as a bumble bee while attending a gypsy-themed Halloween party hosted by Kanye West and supermodel Anja Rubik at The Darby restaurant in New York City last night. The mom-to-be was cute as can be, donning antennae, a striped yellow-and-black fuzzy outfit, and matching heels, while enjoying belly dancers and tarot card readings.

On November 21, fans can get up close and personal with the pop megastar when she releases Live at Roseland, a 26-song live DVD filmed at her intimate Roseland Ballroom shows over the summer. A two-disc deluxe DVD Live at Roseland: The Elements of 4 will follow on November 29 featuring the complete concert, bonus offstage footage, a 20-page booklet, and a video anthology that includes seven videos from her latest album 4.

For our third annual pumpkin carving contest, we asked you to mix hip-hop and Halloween and you didn’t disappoint. Our inbox was filled with some awesome carvings of Nicki Minaj, Rick Ross, Kanye West, and Jay-Z. But we had to whittle it down to three jack-o’-lanterns that stood out from the pack.

Mandy sent chills down our spine with her thrilling carving of Michael Jackson as a zombie from his iconic “Thriller” video. Her attention to detail and technique won her first place and a Sony Bloggie 3D camera. Congrats!

Check out second and third place and some honorable mentions below.

2nd Place: All bow in the presence of the ArchAndroid. Ben nailed his carving of Cindi Mayweather with this pumpkin inspired by Janelle Monáe’s album cover. A Swatch New Gent watch is on its way to you, sir.

3rd Place: It’s alive! Mad Dog unleashed a monster with this depiction of Nicki Minaj as the “Bride of Blackenstein” from her “SNL” appearance, complete with a Nicki chain.

Here are some other submissions that caught our eye:

Congratulations to all the winners and a big thank you to everyone who entered. Happy Halloween!

The anchors of “Good Morning America” celebrated Halloween by dressing up as some of the entertainers who performed on their Summer Concert Series on the show’s Party Rock Halloween special.

Lara Spencer made a grand entrance as Lady Gaga, arriving via zipline. Her fellow anchor George Stephanopoulos came as her male alter ego Jo Calderone. Bianna Golodryga worked it out as Beyoncé in a yellow fringe dress and curly hair, while three of the male hosts went as the members of LMFAO.

But it was Robin Roberts who received the most attention as Nicki Minaj, donning the hot pink jacket, patterned leggings, and blonde wig from her “GMA” appearance. She received praise from the Harajuku Barbie herself who tweeted, “You looked like a true barb today my darling!!! FIERCE!!!!”

Whose costume do you like best? Take a closer look below.

Young Money just got even younger. These two youngsters get our vote for best Halloween costumes as miniature versions of Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj. The little boy went as Weezy from the VMAs, complete with leopard jeggings, long dreads, red Converse sneakers, shades, and drawn-in tattoos. And his counterpart made an adorable Nicki Minaj, rocking a purple wig, Barbie chain, fly boots, and a doll. They’re so cute, we just want to take them home.

Halloween is still a day away, but the stars got into the spirit early by dressing up for the weekend festivities. Holly Robinson Peete piled on the chains, dreads, tattoos, and grill while attending the Dream Halloween Los Angeles AIDS benefit as everyone’s favorite martian, Lil Wayne. “Think I scared the kids,” joked the actress, who called herself “Lil Holleezy.”

“The Voice’s” new social media correspondent Christina Milian debuted two costumes in one night. She played a sexy nurse before changing into a barbarian woman while attending a Halloween bash at the Playboy Mansion.

Asher Roth partied on as Wayne from Wayne’s World, Big Boi and his wife hosted their annual costume party as a zombie sheikh and Wonder Woman, Adrienne Bailon leaned like a chola, Rye Rye looked fierce as a Native American warrior princess, and Kevin Cossom chilled out as a rastaman with production duo The Runners.

Keyshia Cole and her husband Daniel “Boobie” Gibson turned the holiday into a family affair, going as Vanity and Bruce Leroy from The Last Dragon, while their son DJ was a karate kid.

Who had the best costume? Browse the first round of outrageous outfits below.

While many people will be dressing up as Lil Wayne this Halloween, Weezy himself has opted to go incognito. The hip-hop martian donned a green skeleton mask and a camouflage Creature trucker hat in a photo posted on Twitter. “Happy holidays,” wrote Tunechi.

According to Google (via MTV News), the “female Weezy” Nicki Minaj is the most-searched celebrity Halloween costume, beating out Charlie Sheen, Captain America, and Smurfette. Overall, she ranks fourth on the list of most-searched Halloween costumes, behind “Angry Birds,” “Black Swan,” and “Playboy Bunny.”

Some of your favorite celebs celebrated the holiday by dressing up in all sorts of creative costumes—from ballerinas (Teairra Mari) to bumblebees (Brandy) and even garment bags (We see you, JD).

Keri Hilson had one of our favorite costumes this year. Miss Keri poked fun at herself by dressing up as Big Bird, even posing alongside a birdcage. “It was time I embrace my true identity,” tweeted the good-natured singer. “Haters need to think of another way to ruffle my feathers.”

Other highlights included Diddy and his son as clowns, Snoop Dogg as Count Snoop, Christina Milian as a Na’vi from Avatar, Fabolous as the Joker, John Legend as a gladiator and his girlfriend Christine Teigen as Cleopatra, and Ice-T and Coco as a doctor and busty nurse.
