Posted 23 minutes ago by Andi Teran in TV Shows Nicki Minaj performing 'Starships' on 'American Idol' in Hollywood. Photo: Getty Images Emerging from a giant pink space ship, Nicki Minaj descended onto the American Idol stage last night to perform her upcoming single "Starships" in cascading blonde curls, starfish earrings, and a rainbow bright mullet skirt. Conjuring an image of both an undersea confection and the actual Rainbow Brite cartoon character from the '80s. It was a mish-mash of themes that seemed to reference both space travel and a maniacal beach rave. Even though Nicki M's video has yet to make landfall (heh), we do know that it will include neon hair and a pink bikini thanks to numerous paparazzi shots of her writhing around the beaches of Hawaii. As you know, Miss Minaj is all about mixing references and styles. She's one of the only pop stars who easily transition from a monastic Little Red Riding Hood to a dead Smurf to a ...

People News Mar 30, 2012, 8:01 GMT Nicki Minaj Nicki Minaj wants to teach Stephen Fry how to rap. The 54-year-old 'Sherlock Holmes: A game of Shadows' actor recently came to Nicki's attention after he recorded a version of her hit 'Super Bass' and posted it on twitter. And the American rapper now wants to help British-born Stephen perfect his art when she tours the UK in June. A source told The Sun newspaper: 'Nicki listened to it after he published it and, although she was pretty impressed with what she heard, she thinks he could do with a few tips. 'She's more than happy for Stephen to go along to one of her London shows to go through a few rhymes with him.' It won't be the first time Nicki has helped a fellow celebrity perfect their rhyming technique. The 29-year-old 'Starships' hitmaker previously bonded with Susan Boyle backstage at 'America's Got Talent', and taught her to rap before letting her raid her wardrobe. An ins...

"I always thought I could write pop songs for someone else or I could write R&B records for someone else, but I didn't think that people would accept me writing those type of songs and me singing them and just being who I am," Nicki Minaj recently told Complex about her hotly anticipated sophomore album "Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded," which leaked on Wednesday (March 28) ahead of its April 3 release date. "And I guess that's the point... The goal is to not want their acceptance, the goal is to just do you and they'll come around." Indeed, the first half of "Roman Reloaded" is the sound of Minaj doing a victory lap - already established enough in hip-hop to compete with her male counterparts, she leaves plenty of room for guests like Rick Ross , 2 Chainz , Drake , and Chris Brown to take the mic. This time around, however, she seems to have her sights set on competing with Jennifer Lopez , Lady Gaga and Madonna , based on the al...

Young Money star Nicki Minaj has discussed hitting the set with pop icon Madonna for their "Give Me All Your Livin" music video and why the experience was so surreal. Courtesy of an out-take from Minaj's latest Complex magazine feature, the rap star detailed her face time with Madonna . "When I walked on set and saw Madonna, I literally gasped because I felt like I was looking at Marilyn Monroe and I'm so obsessed with Marilyn Monroe... Like, I have Marilyn Monroe pictures all over my house. When I saw Madonna, she really to me was Marilyn Monroe and it was very surreal because it's like, I almost felt like I was doing a video with my two idols at the same time. It was like, very very strange. She had these distant, sort of like very dreamy eyes like Marilyn, like kind of distant but very there and very in charge--but almost like in their own world. And it was just so surreal, you know, just to walk downstairs and see her standing there. I was just like, ...

Getty Images Nicki Minaj is here to stay. In two years, she's gone from a student of the music game to bona fide teacher. The 29-year-old, who hails from Queens, N.Y., isn't the only dope MC to come out of the borough, but null of having more than one album in stores, and on the brink of releasing her sophomore effort, Onika Miraj has written herself into the history books. Out the gate, the then-aspiring rapper used her confidence and lyrical skills to make a buzz. And as she -- and the rest of us -- awaits the release of her Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded LP, her assurance has reached the stratosphere. In an interview with Complex Magazine, Young Money's frontwoman predicted that she will sell 5 million copies of her forthcoming record. For a lesser artist, such a hefty sales goal seems far-fetched, but with the likes of Madonna, Britney Spears and Kanye West clamoring to get a verse from hip-hop's one and only Barbie, she has every reason to believe in herself. In hono...
