Nicki Minaj's "Starships" Music Video: Watch Now!

Flaunting her curvacious figure on the sandy Hawaiian beaches, Nicki Minaj debuted her "Starships" music video on Thursday night (April 26).

The colorful 29-year-old premiered her latest creation on MTV as she dons a hot pink bikini, pink heels and a green hairdo while singing out, "Let's go to the beach, each - Let's go get away - They say, what they gonna say? - Have a drink, clink, found the bud light - Bad b***hes like me, is hard to come by."

As for the track, "Starships" is one of the songs included in Miss Minaj's sophomore album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, which debuted in the top spot on the iTunes and Billboard charts.

At a recent appearance on the Graham Norton show in the UK, the platinum blonde beauty dished about everything from recently deleting her Twitter account to becoming a rapper.
When asked about why she deleted her social media page that had a whopping 11 million followers, Minaj explained, "A voice in my head told me to delete my Twitter and I did. I hope they’ll wait for me. I know they will. I reply to people all the time, I’m known for that and I get to know them by name. I have a personal bond with them. I respond to at least 10 people a day."

Before the superstar became a world-wide music phenomenon, she says she wanted to be an actress, telling, "I remember I wanted to be an actress first and then I went to school for acting and then I started, I always loved music ‘cause my mom would sing all the time. Singing was a little boring so I was like you know what, let me start rapping. I’ve been really doing it for sucha long time. I’ve put out three mixtapes and then kaboom, I was signed with Lil Wayne and this is my second album"

When asked about her sudden departure from the social media platform, Miss Minaj explained, "A voice in my head told me to delete my Twitter and that's what I did. I had 11 million followers and I hope they will wait for me."

As for when or if we can expect to see Nicki back Online, she told, "I don't know yet, I'm thinking about it. I miss my Barbz, please bear with me."

Nicki Minaj Talks Comparisons to Lady Gaga

She’s fiercely independent and aggressively creative, and Nicki Minaj isn’t looking to be compared to anyone else.

Nicki began, “First of all, I”m a rapper... I’m from Southside Jamaica, Queens. What are the similarities? Gaga is a fantastic artist… She’s opened her own lane, but I feel like I have my own lane, and we never cross… EVER!”

Minaj continued, “I don’t want to offend moms or children… BUT, I didn’t come in the game to be an artist that would appeal to kids. I’m a crazy lunatic.”

Nicki let out a little excitement over her sophomore effort dropping, as she tweeted earlier in the day, "106&Park tonite as well as my NYC signing @ BestBuy!!!! Aaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!!! See ya soon barbz!!!!!"

And while there's plenty of positive comments, criticism has already begun, as well, as one of the biggest complaints is that the 29-year-old decided to split up the album between rap and dance/pop.

Nicki Minaj Livens Up the 2012 NBA All-Star Game

Responding to the critics, Nicki told Entertainment Weekly, “I don’t know, what is the big issue? You know how people write plays and movies? That’s what I did. I wrote that and I gave the world a tiny little preview of what’s to come. And I have to perform it on the set in which the movie would be, right?”

Highlights from Miss Minaj's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to pay a visit to Vogue!

On what she'd like to be if not a musician:
“A huge part of me wanted to be a lawyer! I would do a really good job as a prosecutor."

On learning how to dress at LaGuardia High School for the Performing Arts:
“I was dressing in Tommy Hilfiger baggy shirts and Boss jeans, but then I met a person who dressed like a tiny lady—pantsuits, heels, lots of makeup. I thought she was larger than life. She once did my makeup—I had never seen myself made up before. I didn’t want to wash it off; I felt like I had one day to live this fantasy of being a glamour girl.”

On being far from label-obsessed in her downtime:
“If I can combine designer things with other things, I’m a happy camper.

On her love of high-end accessories:
"Giuseppe, Versace, YSL, and Fendi shoes. And I bought tons of Vuitton bags. When you’re a young girl from Queens, you’re going to stock up on those bags.”

On being adamant that her legacy will not be one of a free-spending, know-nothing celebrity:
“[I'm planning] an enormous foundation to nurture girls. The Nicki Minaj girl is a fun, artsy girl who can become a fierce force to be reckoned with on Wall Street! They hang on my every word, so I tell them, go to school, be ambitious. The worst position is to be financially dependent on the man.”

Nicki Minaj Hosts MAC Cosmetics Glam Party

The “Super Bass” babe looked cool and colorful as she mingled with fellow celebs like Ricky Martin and Kelly Osbourne who also turned out for the occasion.

And though she’s one of the most recognizable hip-hop artists today, Nicki isn’t bending to the expectations of style critics who say she dresses too outrageous.

“I’m not impressed to be in that world. I’m in my own world. I think sometimes the fashion world isn’t even about clothes anymore; it’s about this ‘in’ crowd, and I’m not into that. I realized more recently that even if it’s for a fashion magazine, I’m not gonna change who I am.”

Nicki Minaj’s New Single “Starships”: Listen

Madonna's Rockin' Super Bowl XLVI Halftime Show

After a lengthy hiatus from the music world, Madonna has officially made her comeback in a big way - as the Queen of Pop took center stage at Lucas Oil Field in Indianapolis for an energetically captivating Super Bowl XLVI halftime show performance on Sunday night (February 5).

The Material Girl treated the millions watching around the globe to a string of four songs, as she was dressed as Cleopatra upon entrance while performing "Vogue" followed by "Music".

Then joined by LMFAO for snippets of their songs including "Sexy and I Know It," the twelve minute mini-concert next welcomed Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. for the performance of Madonna's new single "Give Me All Your Luvin'" before the closing out with a Cee Lo Green accompanied version of "Like a Prayer".

The cheerleader themed theatrics included a swarm of drummers while the production was assisted by Cirque du Soleil and Madonna's longtime choreographer and creative director Jamie King.

The 53-year-old music legend was quite confident prior to taking the stage, as she told Anderson Cooper in a recent interview, "I have to put on the greatest show on earth, in the middle of the greatest show on earth. I have eight minutes to set it up and seven minutes to take it down and 12 minutes to put on the greatest show on earth. That's a lot of pressure."

Madonna's Super Bowl appearance comes as she's readying for the release of her twelfth studio album - which comes four years after her most recent effort - as MDNA is set to hit store shelves and iTunes on March 26th.

Madonna, Nicki Minaj & M.I.A. In “Give Me All Your Luvin’” Video

OK, so I know I'm not the most ardent of Madonna fans, and sometimes fear that her best work may be behind her, but today's release of the video for her latest single "Give Me All Your Lovin'" gave me some hope that the old gal still has some life in her yet. When I first heard the single, I wasn't thrilled, per se, but I was glad it had some energy and an undeniably catchy tune, if not a bit of a throwback to Toni Basil's "Hey, Mickey". The video, too, harkens back to the singer's glory days and reminded me that she can turn on the playful charisma when she wants to. As a play on her much anticipated Super Bowl show, the video features Nicki Minaj and M.I.A as cheerleaders and a chorus of football players supporting our beloved Madge, who's wearing lots of leather corsetry, and chunky cross necklaces—style choices directly lifted from her very own canon. I mean, at this point, everyone else has in some way appropriated parts of her persona, so I ain't mad if she dips in to her own history for some inspiration. But why am I blathering on? You probably aren't reading this, you're probably just watching the video already, as you should. Carry on.
