Amid the glitz, overly* coifed* hair, skeletal bods, spray-on tans, and glamorous bling, Hollywood's biggest night proved one thing: It's not *Hard out Here for a Pimp. *
What do those two mean?
Thanks |

Coifed = styled.
Coif = hairdo, hairstyle
I'm not sure about "Hard out Here for a Pimp." Since it's capitalized like a title, I suspect it's a rap song. It's probably just a play on words, and was used to say that the singer was in attendance. That's just a guess, though. |

"It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp" was a rap song performed during the Oscar's, apparently. Thats what the search results turned up, anyways. So "It's not Hard Out Here for a Pimp" is a play on the song title. A pimp is a manager for prostitutes, and here refers to the streets in the inner city. It's hard to tell exactly what it meant by it, however, without the whole context. |

The classic image of a pimp is a man who dresses in gaudy, stylish clothes, with bright colors, jewelry, and other elements of wealth and high fashion. So, what the line is saying is that a stereotypical pimp would fit in well with all the celebrities and other people who were dressing in similar ways. |

Or it could imply that the celebs are the pimps (in that they pimp themselves in the way they sell their souls for star-dom). |
