Nicki Minaj’s E! reality show may be off the air, but she’s still keeping her Barbz informed through her video blogs. In vlog #10, Nicki documents the week of her album release for Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded – The Re-Up.

We head back in time to the American Music Awards, where she mingles with stars like Usher, Christina Aguilera, and Tyga. She heads to “106 & Park” on the day of her album release, where she presents a $15,000 check to the Food Bank of New York City. She gives back to the community at a turkey drive at her old elementary school, P.S. 45 in Queens, and reunites with her favorite teacher, Ms. Smith.

Dressed head-to-toe in pink, Nicki arrives at “GMA” and “LIVE! with Kelly and Michael” for interviews and then it’s off to Macy’s for the launch of her fragrance “Pink Friday.”

The “American Idol” judge closes out the week with several radio station interviews before jetting to New Zealand for her “Pink Friday: Reloaded” tour.

Nicki Minaj and her team invaded Las Vegas for New Year’s Eve. First up, she shut down the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace while looking for the perfect outfit for her and her crew. She dropped some racks at the Versace store as her Barbz gathered outside to get a glimpse of their idol.

With 20 minutes to go until midnight, Nicki walked the red carpet at PURE before counting down to 2013 as fireworks lit up the sky. She danced and toasted in VIP with her friends including Scaff Beezy.

After the celebration, she grabbed a Rascal scooter and drove through the halls to her hotel room.

See what it’s like to spend a night in Vegas with Nicki.

Nicki Minaj has been making headlines for her feud with fellow “American Idol” judge Mariah Carey. But she shows the real reason she signed up for the talent competition in a new promo. The “Starships” rapper shares her passion for discovering new talent and explains her rise from the underground mixtape scene to becoming a worldwide superstar.

“I’ve been told no a billion times and I think it’s very important you have someone that knows what it’s like to be disappointed and have to try again, and that’s a big part of the audition process,” said Nicki.

Also get a sneak peek at the outspoken judge’s many wardrobe changes, hats, and hairstyles.

The new season of “Idol” kicks off January 16 on Fox.
