Week after week, Nicki Minaj judges singing hopefuls on American Idol, but with the 2013 MTV Movie Awards only days away, MTV wanted her to judge something else: the beefy hotness of the fellas up for Best Shirtless Performance on Sunday night (April 14).

Even with the tantalising talents of Taylor Lautner, Channing Tatum, Christian Bale and Ted up for the prize, Minaj seemed pretty dead-set on who she's hoping takes home a Golden Popcorn at the ceremony.

The Super Bass hitmaker told MTV News US: "Channing Tatum is sexy as hell. Taylor [Lautner] might [have] the best abs, but Channing, overall, is something sexy, honey."

Believe it or not, This Is the End star Seth Rogen also gave props to Magic Mike's killer six-pack, pondering its greatness.

"What is that muscle? I've literally never seen that muscle," he joked. "I would vote for Channing, honestly," he said. "I mean, that's crazy that he looks like that."

However, there's one woman who felt that Batman's enemy, Bane, deserved some love, offering up her support to the snubbed Tom Hardy.

Jersey Shore star JWoww claimed: "I'm pretty p*ssed off that Christian Bale is nominated for 'Dark Knight Rises' and not Tom Hardy. Eventhough Tom was not completely shirtless, he was still hotter in his Bane sexy outfit."

As for Rogen's take on Batman's shirtless hotness, he added: "Compared to Channing? Jesus. Come on."

You can catch all the action from the Rebel Wilson-hosted MTV Movie Awards when it hits MTV UK on April 15 @ 21:00!
