What Celebrities Should Give Up for Lent

Bad habits stars like Nicki Minaj can let go.

Kanye West - With Easter around the corner and a new Pope in the Vatican, Catholicism is all the rage. And, after partying on Fat Tuesday, we could all do with a little austerity. Our list of what celebs should give up for Lent kicks off with Kanye West. While he can rock leather pants like no other rapper, maybe he can give his pigskin wardrobe a teeny break and break in a new pair of jeans?  (Photo: WENN.com)

Rihanna - Who needs selfies when you're one of the most photographed women on the planet? Well, Rihanna. The pop star is known for displaying every inch of her anatomy on Instagram (not that anyone is complaining), but maybe she should cover up for the Holy Month, just to keep the Pope from blushing?

Katt Williams - One of the perks of being a celebrity has got to be that you can afford a driver, right? Well, maybe it's time for Katt Williams to get one. The comedian, who has been arrested multiple times for reckless driving (among other things) and even engaged police in a chase last year, should give up his driver's license for Lent and enjoy the back seat for a while.  (Photo: Leon Bennett / WENN)

Nicki Minaj - Nicki has been surprising the world lately with her toned down new look, sticking to (relatively) neutral palates for her wardrobe and makeup. She looks so gorgeous, we say go all the way and ditch the signature wigs for Lent. We bet all-natural Nicki would be a knockout.  (Photo: Christopher Polk/Getty Images)

NeNe Leakes - We know stirring ish up is how the Real Housewives of Atlanta star makes her living, but now that she's graduated to non-reality roles, maybe she can take a small break from all the "real" drama? But not for too long! We love us our troublemaking NeNe. (Photo: Imeh Akpanudosen/Getty Images)

DMX - DMX is known for his growl, and his temper. But when he lost it on self-help guru Iyanla Vanzant on the show Fix My Life, he crossed a line. Perhaps X should take this time of spiritual penance to let go of his anger or at least channel it into his music rather than lash it out on those trying to help him.  (Photo: D. Salters/WENN.com)

Adele - A woman with a voice like Adele's can wear whatever she darn well pleases, but we seriously want to set fire to the closet-full of black shift dresses the British singer raids for every red carpet appearance. With spring just around the corner, how about a softer palette to go with her blonde locks and baby blues?  (Photo: Jason Merritt/Getty Images)

Kris Humphries - We get that love hurts, but this Lent we gotta ask Kris Humphries to let go of his pain and give his estranged wife Kim Kardashian a divorce. Hasn't she atoned enough?  (Photo: FameFlynet, Inc)

Jennifer Hudson - Speaking of stalling, when are we gonna hear wedding bells for Jennifer Hudson and David Otunga already? The couple of four years have been through so much together, including raising their adorable son David Jr., that we think there's no time like Lent to give up the engagement ring and go for the wedding band.

Dennis Rodman - In the words of Secretary of State John Kerry, as a diplomat, Dennis Rodman is a great basketball player. The bad boy of the NBA left us scratching our heads when he befriended North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un a few weeks ago, but now we think it's time for him to give up his "basketball diplomacy" and focus on domestic matters. (Photo: REUTERS/KCNA)

Lisa Lampanelli - The veteran comedian whipped out the N-word in a recent tweet in a bid to appear edgy, but just ended up invoking the wrath of many fans. Lisa, we can think of plenty other substitutes for your foul mouth.  (Photo: Fernando Leon/Getty Images)

Justin Bieber - In fewer than six months, Bieber has gone from fresh-faced pop star to angry young man, and his diatribes circulate the globe in mere seconds thanks to Twitter. We get that growing up is hard to do, but maybe he should throw his tantrums in private for a while? (Photo: Jason Merritt/Getty Images)

Alicia Keys - Alicia has it all: brains, body, beauty, true love, a beautiful son and talent in spades. So can she slip on a banana peel or something so the rest of us can feel a little better about ourselves? For Lent, we're asking...no, begging Alicia to stop making us so damn jealous.  (Photo: Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images)

Idris Elba - He's one of the most eligible bachelors in the world, but Idris Elba seems to keep a deadbolt on his heart. We haven't seen the British hotty romancing a woman, well, ever. So for Lent, we suggest he give up his heart to a deserving woman. The line starts right behind us!  (Photo: Joe Kohen/Getty Images for Y-3)
