Nicki is doing big things. Nicki Minaj Tops Box Office With New Film Guess all the Barbs paid their $10.50 to see Nicki. According to Vibe: Nicki Minaj doesn’t only top charts, she kills box offices, too. YMCMB’s First Lady made her big screen debut this past weekend in the chick flick The Other Woman, which hit theaters April 25. She joined the all-star cast, composed of Leslie Mann, Kate Upton and Cameron Diaz, in knocking Captain America: The Winter Soldier from the top spot, cashing in $24.7 million, according to HuffPo. The rapper has also been prepping her forthcoming album, The Pink Print, due later this year, by going au naturel. She recently told MTV News about her new look, “It’s not a make-over, I went so far to the other side that there’s only one place to go from there. Hey guess what? This will shock them even more. Doing nothing will shock them even more.” Will you be going to see Nicki’s new film? WENN

Kanye West has always pushed the boundaries of hip hop music, but for his next project Yeezus has decided to drop the “music” part altogether. Yes, if you’re a fan of beats, melodies or other things that make Kanye’s obnoxious boasting tolerable, you may want to skip his as-yet untitled eighth studio album, which will reportedly consist of three hours of Kanye talking. Three. Hours. Of Kanye. Just talking. What will ‘Ye talk about, you ask? Everything, of course! “He has very strong views on everything from music and art to politics and the environment,” says a source close to the production, adding, “Kanye loves the sound of his own voice.” In other news, water has been found to be wet and the Pope is apparently a Catholic. Evidently, Kanye’s three weddings aren’t enough of an annoying statement of self-importance. So, if when you’re at a party, you like to seek out the most arrogant, opinionated loudmouth in the room and listen to him babble on for hours, you’re sure to love Kanye’s new album! It’s all of the ego you can possible fit in one album with none of that pesky music getting in the way. If we’re really lucky, maybe he’ll throw in a nasally cameo from his fiancee. After all, the latest Kim Kardashian music video has been a huge hit online. 10 Best Kanye West Rants Open Slideshow 1. Kanye West Rant: RESPECT ME! Kanye West is at it again.

When a 12-year-old girl posted racy photos of herself on Facebook, her mom was upset. So she beat her HARD and posted a video of THAT on Facebook: Mom BEATS Daughter This was not your run-of-the-mill beating, either. Helen Bartlett whipped her offspring with a strap for several minutes, causing the video to go viral and spark a heated debate over corporal punishment. Some viewers support the mom’s actions, while others are appalled, for obvious reasons – and this isn’t even the full-length video she put online. You can see the uncensored version Barlett shared – and has no regrets about. She says she is “prepared to go to jail” to set her “problem child” straight. She says she beat her daughter for posting underwear photos and sexting, and did it to keep her off the streets and stop her from getting pregnant. Noble goals, to be sure … but seriously? Perhaps most amazingly, a few days after this went up, the 12-year-old and her older sister put up their own video, in which they defended their mom. They said she was a good mother who just wanted to protect them, reassuring viewers that her mom loves her and she has no intention of killing herself. She hasn’t, however, been back to school. Since the video of the beating went viral last week, her mother says she fears being made fun of there and getting bullied … how’s that for irony? In her video, the 12-year-old said, “I am very sorry for bringing shame on you and the family. I know you love me dearly. And I love you dearly, too.” You be the judge … right or wrong?! Right! Sometimes, very tough love is what kids need! Wrong? This is way, WAY over the line! View Poll »
By now, even non-sports fans know who Donald Sterling is: He’s the bigoted billionaire who owns the Los Angeles Clippers and who doesn’t believe a respectable white person should be seen in public with an African-American . But what about V. Stiviano, the woman who taped many conversations with Sterling and who is at the center of this race-based scandal? Who the heck is this person?!? Only 31, Stiviano was born Maria Vanessa Perez. She spent years telling folks that she served as Sterling’s “archivist,” denying talk that she was the 80-year old’s girlfriend. But TMZ has obtained court documents – filed this month in conjunction with a lawsuit against Stiviano, in which Sterling’s wife accuses her of duping the owner out of millions of dollars – that tell a different story. Donald Sterling Racist Recording In these legal papers, Stiviano admits that she’s been involved personally with Sterling for years. The relationship is undefined, but Stiviano says it was “neither [a] hidden, closeted, nor a clandestine ‘affair’ at any time,” adding it was “open notorious, obvious and long standing.” V. Stiviano also refers to herself as a prop to show off Sterling’s “sexual prowess.” And, in the end apparently, also a prop to show off his extreme racism. Sterling and Stiviano are reportedly working on a settlement that will stop the leaking of these damaging recordings. Insiders say Stiviano is in possession of hundreds of hours worth of tapes, each depicting Donald Sterling as an awful human being, and that she’s willing to accept money in exchange for keeping the rest quiet.
