She made the official announcement on the red carpet at the VMAs. “I’m releasing my album in November called Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded – The Re-Up,” she told “E! News.”

The repackaging will include new material, with the first single to arrive next week. “I’m putting lots of new songs on there and I’m actually going to drop my new single like next week,” she said, while teasing, “Barbz, you are gonna spaz. You are gonna love it. You are gonna go crazy!”

However, she remained tight-lipped when the talk turned to “American Idol.” “I don’t know yet. I really don’t know,” said Nicki, who couldn’t stop smiling when asked if she would join the judges’ table alongside Mariah Caree no comment on it.”
