In college it’s easy to fall into a Halloween costume rut—we’ve all seen our fair share of sexy policewomen and Where’s Waldos. But with so much going on in pop culture, there’s no excuse for slacking off in the costume department this year. Here are some suggestions for topical Halloween attire that would make Perez Hilton proud.

1. Honey Boo Boo

This child pageant star became a household name this year thanks to her general outlandishness on TLC’s “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.” The costume’s easy: pull out your favorite dress-up outfit from when you were six, grab some Mary Janes and a blond wig, and you’re good to go. If you want to go as a group, consider dressing up as Mama and Sugar Bear, too.

2. Ted

Easy: dress up like a bear and spout obscenities. You’ll probably be spouting obscenities anyway, so you’re halfway there.

3.Angelina Jolie and her right leg

Maybe we’re a little late on this one, but Angie and her deep-slit Oscars’ dress never get old. If you can’t afford her original Versace dress, maybe try fashioning a matching one out of a garbage bag. The leg is really all that matters.

4. Anyone from “The Hunger Games”

Braid you hair and go as the iconic Katniss Everdeen, or get a little more creative and dress up as someone from the Capitol. Props if you get a little adventurous with your razor and go as Gamemaker Seneca Crane.

5. Magic Mike

Because why should girls be the only ones with sexy costumes this Halloween?

6. Superheroes galore

With “The Avengers,” “The Amazing Spiderman” and “The Dark Knight Rises” all blowing up the box office this summer, there’s no shortage of superheroes serving as costume inspiration. And if dressing up as just one superhero feels a little third grade to you, you can share the love and dress up as all of them at once. Like the Incredible Captain Iron Spider Knight.

7. Summer Olympians

My recommendation: McKayla Maroney. Just put on a warm-up jacket and a silver medal, cross your arms and walk around looking unimpressed. For the guys, consider Ryan Lochte as an option. All you have to do is look generally dumbfounded but stunning in a Speedo. Maybe even put on a horse head and go as Ann Romney’s prized show horse Rafalca.

8. New Mother Snooki

Pull out your Snooki costume from 2010, grab a baby doll and bam! You’ve got an updated ensemble for Halloween 2012. You’re welcome.

9. Gotye

Impress everyone at Bauhaus by painting your face and upper body in the style of Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used to Know” music video. Bonus points if you get a lady friend to go with you as Kimbra.

10. PSY

You already know his “Gangnam Style” dance. Just go to a thrift shop and get a brightly colored jacket, a bowtie and some sunglasses. Then you’ll be ready to gallop right into your next party.
