‘So much to me is music, but it’s also about putting on a show,’ she tells MTV News at Movie Awards. By Gil Kaufman, with reporting by Eric Ditzian Nicki Minaj Photo: MTV News Nicki Minaj was pulling double duty at the 2011 MTV Movie Awards on Sunday night. In addition to providing some eye candy for co-presenter Ashton Kutcher to stare at, the Young Money queen spoke to MTV News backstage about her upcoming tour with fellow pop diva Britney Spears . With Spears’ Femme Fatale Tour slated to kick off June 16 in Sacramento, California, Minaj said the pair are getting ready to put their heads together during rehearsals. “We probably won’t start talking about what we’re planning for another couple days,” Minaj said. “I’ve been just rehearsing, and she’s been rehearsing, and we’ll be getting together in a couple days.” With more than a month off since finishing her stint on Lil Wayne’s I Am Still Music Tour , Minaj said she’s been working on her stagecraft and trying to find a way to interject more drama into her performance to keep up with what will surely be an eye-popping spectacle from Spears. “I’m just trying to put more theater on that stage. So much to me is music, but it’s also about putting on a show, so that’s my goal: to truly put on a show and incorporate theater and dance,” Minaj said. “I think it’s pretty easy to take it to the next level … I think I’m nowhere close to where I could be as far as my shows have been. So I think it’s going to be pretty easy, actually.” The ladies’-night tour will also feature sets from Nervo and Jessie and the Toy Boys. What are you expecting from Minaj’s warm-up act?

Nicki Minaj covers the 7th issue of the UK’s #5 Magazine. Though she wears eye-catching colors that pop on the cover (pink lips, blue eye shadow and a yellow hat), it’s her video interview with the mag that’s got us talking. Is it just us, or do her and this interviewer have major chemistry? Even Nicki Minaj picks up on it, asking more than halfway through the giggly interview: “Do we have a crazy connection?” He seems a little flustered throughout the entire sit-down where the two test Nicki’s British accent, talk about her “relationship” with Rihanna, and discover how a man can get to her heart!

Britain’s # 5 Magazine dubbed Nicki Minaj “The Queen Of New York” in their Sport Personality Style issue. Nicki says, when asked if her little brother wants to be a rapper “No, I would never let anyone I know be a rapper, darling.” Nicki admits that a female fan fainted in her arms after waiting in line to see the “Head Barb” for hours. She continues to explain how in-tune she is with her fans through Twitter and how she refused to leave through a back exit one day. “People have been standing there for hours, me going out the back door is mean” Here’s an excerpt from the interview: How can a man get to your heart? If he can make me laugh…..he has to be smart. I love sarcasm in people; I love when you’re able to pick up on sarcasm and when you’re able to dish it out. I love quick comebacks. Your label mate Drake sounds like he fits the bill for that. But that’s why Drake and I are friends because he does fit that to a certain extent. He’s really easy to talk to. As a girl, you don’t meet a lot of guys you can have a conversation with about anything. It’s dope. Who is one of your favorite rappers of all-time? Jay-Z. It was like whatever Jay-Z says is the gossip because he was smart. I was raised attracted to intelligent rappers. Like if you can make me think…that’s why I’m so into metaphors. I love double meanings of things. Just having people look at things in a different way because all my favorite rappers [Lil’ Wayne] that’s what they do, that’s what intrigued me.

Reworked tune features an opening verse by Minaj as Ke$ha sings atop Spears’ vocals throughout the song. By James Dinh Britney Spears “Til The World Ends” Photo: Jive Britney Spears isn’t the only pop titan dancing until the world ends: Nicki Minaj and Ke$ha have joined forces to add a new spin on an all-female remix of Femme Fatale ‘s second single, “Till the World Ends.” The reworked dance anthem, which leaked online Friday (April 22), appears to have surfaced earlier than expected as noted by a series of countdowns on all three of the star’s websites . Mixing the dance tune’s original sonic swirls with heavier bass, Britney tourmate Minaj starts off the remix by throwing down an aggressive verse, in which she calls out a female hater: “A-A-A-A-A-AYE!/ Chimpanzees is hatin’, but I take it all in stride/ Put her in a jungle with bananas on the side/ Told you they’d revive your career, but somebody lied/I ain’t talkin’ poultry when I say this chicken’s fried.” After Minaj spits a few introductory bars, Spears delivers the song’s first verse before an introduction for the all-star trio. “It’s Britney, bitch. I’m Nicki Minaj and that’s Ke$ha!” the Young Money MC proclaims. Ke$ha, who originally wrote the track for the pop princess, takes part in singing the club-ready track’s chorus. Spears soon takes back control of the song as Ke$ha shadows the singer’s lines toward the end of the second verse and bridge. Unlike the original version, the “Till the World Ends” remix also features a stuttering dubstep dance break. News of a star-studded collaboration was hinted earlier this week when producer Dr. Luke tweeted , “@NICKIMINAJ killed it tonight!!!! thanks!!!” Have you heard the all-star “Till The World Ends” remix?

Nicki Minaj is Allure magazine’s “Face” this month. The mag asked the pink-lipped, oft-wigged rapper all about beauty, wigs and icons. How many wigs do you have? A hundred? Right before I walk out the door, I grab one. Today, I wore a beige jacket and brown boots and I wanted to keep the whole earth-tone color scheme, so I did blonde. But it all depends on my mood. I just like to feel euphoric and free—so I’m going for more of the pink and the crazy, weird stuff now. Do you have any beauty icons? I love Cyndi Lauper’s style. I remember watching her as a kid and thinking, I don’t know who this is, but I want to hang out with her. Her style looked like a piece of art to me. What beauty products are in your purse? My M.A.C. lipstick [Pink for Friday]; an amazing Chanel lip balm, some sponges to constantly blot my face, and a full bottle of Chloé. I’m really obsessed with it. It’s my airport duty-free purchase whenever I’m flying. What beauty task do you hate? You know what’s so messed up? I used to love getting my nails done; it was a time of relaxation. Now, I want to choke myself because I can’t pause my life. In L.A. the nail technicians take 18 hours for a freakin’ fill-in [for acrylics]. My phone goes off a billion times. It’s Official!
