Nicki is coming out with her own brand name of “Moscato,” which is a delicious and sometimes fruity alcoholic beverage very popular in America. The Official bottles made a cameo appearance in Nicki and Wayne’s ‘High School’ video which debuted last Tuesday.  All of the barbz over 21 need to be on the look at for this particular item, which appears to be coming in three different flavors. (Sorry barbz under 21) this ones for us older barbz!

More updates on the exact flavors and when “MYX” hits shelves at a store near you will be posted upon validation for Nicki herself.

Nicki Minaj sat down with MTV News last week and informed them that she would not be following fellow Idol judge Keith Urban’s notion to perform on the show.

Speaking to MTV News: ‘I think kudos to Keith for doing it, but I just don’t know if I want to wear that hat there,’

“All of these kids that are left right now, I don’t want to see any one of them go now,” Minaj told MTV News during “MTV First: Nicki Minaj.” “To be completely honest, I feel they could all go out and make an album right now and be successful around the world. And also, they put in work, they put in a lot of work and they deserve to be there. I think that’s what makes me happy. The people we have left deserve to be there.”

“Burnell has a real R&B soulful John Legend voice to me. I could completely see myself doing a song with Burnell,” Minaj said. “Kree [Harrison] and Janelle, I see them doing more country, so I don’t know how that would work, but to be honest, I would work with any of them.”

While Minaj is open to working with the contestants, there is one thing she may be opposed to while on “Idol” — performing. The Young Money rapper revealed that even though performing her new single, “High School” with Lil Wayne would be “dope,” she, unlike fellow judge Keith Urban, who took the stage last week, is still unsure if judging and performing mix.”

“I don’t know if I want to wear the performer hat on ‘Idol,’ ” Minaj said. “I think kudos to Keith for doing it, but I just don’t know if I want to wear that hat there.”

According to my research, Nicki Minaj’s Beats by Dre both Pro and Earphones are NOW Available at a Beats by Dre store near you, and BeatsbyDre.com

Be sure to add them to your wish list and buy them as soon as possible! They are in-fact LIMITED EDITION. The Official Nicki Minaj: Beats by Dre commercial airs on April 10th during American Idol at 8/7c on FOX! Don’t miss out on the commercial, or Idol!

Barbz! It’s here, the Pink Friday: Limited Edition Fragrance is NOW AVAILABLE at a Macy’s outlet near you! Be sure to “cop it while the cost low!” This fragrance is in-fact “Limited Edition” and will no longer be available after the main shipments have been sent out to the retail stores. Make sure you get it while you can, either online or in stores.

‘Towards the end of last year I just wanted to have a more natural look, and that’s what I was explaining to my team.

”I knew that I was about to start doing covers of magazines and I wanted a more relatable look. I knew that I was about to launch a clothing line and I want women to know that I’m just a regular woman and I’m not some weirded-out character all the time.”

‘I made that conscious effort to tone it down and to try new things. And when I started seeing what my hair looked like, I just fell in love.

”I was just like, ‘Oh my gosh where has this been all my life?’ Because even my fans went crazy, I feel like the whole world went crazy. It felt like I took off this mask – it didn’t feel like that to me – but to the world it’s almost like, ‘Oh now we see the real her.’ It was weird.”

I must say that I am also a big fan of Nic’s new look! Although I loved all the brightly multi-colored wigs and some outfits, these dresses are giving me so much life! Our weekly taste of #NickiMinajRealTNess is something that I always look forward to. I hope that people understand that Nicki isn’t always a complete psychopath and has very nice taste, and an amazing work ethic.

Nicki’s Official Beats Commercial will air live next Wednesday during American Idol on FOX! Check out the Behind the Scenes footage from the commercial below!

8:02 p.m. Ryan uses his serious voice to tell us that “history has shown that an American Idol can do anything.” Really? Has anyone told Taylor Hicks this? Oh, and the stars of previous seasons have dominated every facet of the entertainment industry. If, by dominating they mean Jennifer Hudson.

8:03 p.m. Time to meet Keith Urban. He seems perfectly pleasant. And then…

8:04 p.m. Nicki Minaj is bringing “a little style” back to the table. She’s the first female solo artist to have seven singles on the Hot 100 at the same time. She’s one artist everyone is clamoring to work with! Except, um, probably Mariah Carey. Who has not only a “five octave range,” but is “the definition of diva.”

8:05 p.m. “It’s amazing… because it matters. It’s a dawn of a brand new season. Together, we’ll take the journey that defines a nation.” Jeez, I’ve heard less hype during an election cycle.

8:08 p.m. The judges arrive, and as Mariah Carey gets out of her limo, someone says, “Oh, she is fabulous.” NIcki Minaj gets “Oh. My. God.” We do not get the fabulous entry for Randy or Keith.

8:09 p.m. Nicki declares everything “so bobilicious.” And, then the Mariah-Nicki fighting begins! My, that didn’t take long, did it? Mariah sniffs that she would have brought her dog if she had known they were allowed to bring in accessories, gesturing toward Nicki’s feathered drum major hat. Nicki tells her to play nice, and then they start talking about whether or not Mariah was giving Nicki’s hat dirty looks in the elevator and I think I’m already a little bored with this.

8:10 p.m. Michael Buonopane of Saugus, MA has to stomp onto the stage singing his own lyrics about “American Idol” to Queen’s “We Will Rock You.” He’s got a big personality, perhaps too big, because he keeps riffing through different genres (did I hear the Four Seasons in there? And reggaeton? Really?) without taking a breath. I don’t think he’s all that bad, though he blows a few notes, but that’s probably nerves. But clearly, I’m too kind. Randy and Nicki quickly give him no votes, while Mariah gives him a yes just for kicks. Mike tells her “‘All I Want for Christmas’ is the best modern-day Christmas song,” which leads to…

8:11 p.m. A genuinely weird exchange between Mariah and Nicki, in which Mariah tells Nicki in a flutey voice that “All I Want for Christmas” is still number one 17 years later and Nicki thrusts out her fists and grimmaces and Mariah says, “If she calls me something that starts with a B and ends with an itch, I rebuke it. I had to watch this twice to have any idea what happened, and I’m still not sure.

8:16 p.m. We return from the commercial break to watch Mariah and Nicki getting their hair and make-up fixed during a break. And why are we seeing this? Because they’re fighting! Mariah says, “I wanna lose three pounds,” which Nick helpfully informs her she can offer her advice. Mariah sighs and explains that “I wanna lose three pounds” is a quote from “Mean Girls,” and if she knew “Mean Girls” she’d, like, get that. But Nicki DOES know “Mean Girls”! But does she know who said this? If I shut my eyes, I can imagine this is an argument between two 11-year-old girls. Because, really, it is.

8:17 p.m. Ryan explains that our new judges are very “passionate.” So, we get a brief montage of Nicki and Mariah spewing passion at one another. Mariah calls her daaahling and Nicki makes faces and clawing motions.
