The MyDaily office has a running joke that when we look at the picture wires and see a picture of the Pope in his official regalia we pitch a special papal edition of "Hot or not". But where previous pitches have failed, Nicki Minaj's arrival at the 2012 Grammys has seen one succeed...

We're assuming this conversation is happening right now between the singer and His Fauxliness (What? We're assuming that's how you address a fake Pope, right?):
Nicki Minaj: That's right, Gaga, I'm seeing your egg and raising you a fake Pope.
His Fauxliness: Is Gaga even here yet?
Nicki Minaj: Plus I've ditched M.I.A. and her middle finger.
His Fauxliness: Ah yes, remind me to assign her a few Hail Marys if we bump into her.
Nicki Minaj: AND no-one's lipsyncing to Like A Prayer, so it's all eyes on Nicki!
His Fauxliness: Yeah, except everyone's looking at me because you dressed me up as THE POPE and dressed yourself up as a buttoned up version of Kim Kardashian's Halloween costume...
Nicki Minaj: Oh.
His Fauxliness: Also you have a gramophone growing out of your head.
Nicki Minaj: Shut up.
His Fauxliness: And those adorable little girls from Essex are doing Ellen's red carpet report. Maybe they'll sing your song again?
Nicki Minaj: Seriously, shut up.
--- END SCENE ---
And so we ask you, dear readers: the Pope's Grammy red carpet look - hot or not?
