Minaj is playing the role of host -- alongside Nik Richie of TheDirty.com -- at Mansion in Miami, FL on NYE. We're told the club shelled out $50,000 on an all-pink decor -- including cotton candy machines, carpets, drapery, aerialists, dancers and a specially designed midnight light show in Nicki's honor.

Oh, and all the waitresses will be wearing butt pads in an homage to Nicki's infamous derriere.

SCORES gentlemen's club in NYC sent Applegate the letter yesterday -- offering the "Anchorman" star a chance to reprise her role as pregnant pole dancer Roxy Fedaro ... from the hilariously awesome skit she just did for Funny or Die.

No word if Christina plans to accept -- but it could be worth it ... because according to the letter, Scores is prepared to fork over $10,000 per appearance. Plus tips.

As we first reported, the estate of the late "Baron" Joseph de Bicske Dobronyi plans on auctioning off the item -- which came into his possession after she left them on a private plane in 1968.

We're told the estate has been contacted by Hansons Auctioneers and Valuers -- the same auction house that handled the sale of Queen Victoria's undergarments back in 2008 -- and they would like to handle the sale.

Victoria's knickers sold for about $9,000 -- the estate hopes Elizabeth II's fetch the same.

The pair of panties came in to the possession of a famous Miami playboy named "Baron" Joseph de Bicske Dobronyi -- or Sepy, as he was known. As the story goes, Sepy got them from a friend after they were left on a private plane when the Queen visited Chile in 1968.

Sepy passed away back in June and now the estate plans on auctioning off this piece of Royal memorabilia. We're told the estate will offer them up to the same auction house that sold Queen Victoria's undies back in 2008, and they hope to get the same price -- around $9,000.

We got the former "Fresh Prince" star outside of Trousdale last night where he said he hasn't seen the video yet. When we asked him how he got involved with it, he told us, "Someone came to me one day and said, 'Will you do this?' And I went and did it."

The President of the International Star Registry tells TMZ, someone bought the star in honor of the royal couple's recent engagement -- pretty badass ... because according to the certificate, the star will officially carry the couple's names for as long as it exists ... i.e. billions of years.

A rep for Kobayashi tells us .... the Kobester is set to chow down at a close friend's home -- where he will get his own turkey with all the trimmings ... including corn on the cob, beets, okra and pumpkin pie.

The rep tells us Kobayashi is “excited to gobble up." We're guessing he's also excited for that mega-nap after the feast.

Obama explained that each bird had to compete in a feathery beauty pageant set to music -- insisting it was like a "turkey version of 'Dancing with the Stars' ... except the stakes for the contestants was much higher."

He continued, "Only one pair would survive and win the big prize -- LIFE ... and an all expenses paid trip to Washington ... where they've been living it up on corn feed at the W hotel."

Apple and Cider -- the luckiest turkeys on the planet -- were hanging out at the W Hotel this morning ... moments before their big moment at the White House.

A rep for the turkeys -- yes, the turkeys had a rep -- told us each bird had their own separate room at the hotel ... with bottled water and "good, clean beds."

Chestnut tongue-lashed the competition at the second annual Martorano’s Masters Meatball Eating Championship ... finishing 6 balls ahead of his closest competitor, Rich "The Locust" LeFevre.

Holly Madison was also on hand to check out the ball gobblers ... but only as a spectator.

You're looking at pics from the Lizzie Borden House in Fall River, Massachusetts -- named after a woman who allegedly murdered her elderly parents in cold blood, using nothing but a hatchet.

Who'da thunk ... the famous house is now a bed and breakfast -- and Chloë was one of its most recent guests ... doing a dead-on corpse impression, and even spending the night in Lizzie Borden's old bed.

Here's the short of it -- we're told Todd was on a camping trip with his son in Santa Barbara, CA ... when a nearby fisherman hooked the predator and needed help hauling it out of the water.

Todd came to the rescue -- but the shark must have been pissed ... because soon after, it completely lost its head.

The YouTube sensation tells us, it's his first time in L.A. -- but what he lacks in travel experience, he makes up in business savvy ... adding, his "Bed Intruder"

successful."

Scott was supposed to be promoting tonight's STP show in Tampa during an interview yesterday on 102.5 The Bone.

Instead, it turned into a strange exchange filled with long pauses -- and Scott forgetting he had skipped out on STP's last Tampa concert. All of this prompted the DJ to consider betting Scott $10,000 he would miss tonight's show too.
