Nicki Minaj Is Nearly Overexposed in the New 'Starships' Music Video

Nicki Minaj films her new music video "Starship" on the beach in Oahu, Hawaii on March 14, 2012 (FameFlynet Pictures)more pics Nicki MInaj does a lot of thrusting in the sand in her new music video. (FameFlynet) Nicki Minaj 's new music video doesn't make a lot of sense, but no one's really going to care. Bikinis and jiggling pectorals for everyone!

The Anthony Mandler-directed clip released Thursday evening is about as coherent as the song itself, a dizzying RedOne-produced club banger that makes up with catchiness what it lacks in originality. Of course Minaj riffs on the song's title, with computer-generated spacecrafts delivering a bikini-clad Nicki to a secluded beachfront where men with uncomfortably pillowy pecs greet her in some sort of tribal-lite ceremony. She's an alien... but she's a sexy alien.

The video gets progressively trippier as it goes on, with kaleidoscopic effects rendering each of Nicki's thrusts and gyrations in candy-colored multiples. Nicki's in full pop tart mode for this one, but it's worth noting that she's not the one carrying out any of the choreography. No: She lets the scantily-clad firedancers do all the heavy lifting.
