Nicki Minaj 2011 Billboard Awards

Woo hoo!  This is great news!  Nicki Minaj just finished a tour with Lil Wayne and she’s about to head out on tour with Britney Spears….which is so awesome….but, she’s going to go solo in 2012!  I am personally stoked!

Nicki Minaj is Ready For Another DRY Tour

“Next year, I’ll be headlining my own tour,”she told UsMagazine.com, “So this is my time to be a student and to learn and to absorb all of this information and then take that knowledge and create an amazing Pink Friday tour at the top of 2012.”

Plus in the next few months… like in September, she’s going to announce her next album, so it toally makes sense for her to do a solo tour!  Don’t you think she will own it on her own?

Lady Gaga hit up Good Morning America by flying down a zip line into New York City’s Central Park to kick off the Summer Concert Series.  Gaga sang  Born This Way, Judas, The Edge of Glory, and Hair.

Lady Gaga Selling 1 Million in FIRST Week

She was so proud of being there, performing for her fans.

“It’s an absolute dream come true to be here today and to play in Central Park.  I used to come and play in these fields. I used to walk down the street and look into the sky and dream that someday I would fill the park the way that all of the singers before me have.”

Lady Gaga has an amazing presence and is gaining more fans by the day….. it’s pretty incredible to witness…. almost freaky!

Emily Maynard made it more than clear that things are over for her and Brad Womack on her Twitter.  So all of the rumors that they are “still working on things” have been blown out of the water.  The relationship has been over for good for about two weeks now.

‘Bachelor’ Emily Maynard Really Quits The Relationship

“Thank you so much for the support and love.  It means more than you will ever know. Busy weekend, so I’ll see you on Monday!”

Then she shared the verse, Ephesians 29:

“Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.”

An insider said that Emily gave Brad the ring back,

“It’s completely over now.”

“Emily is happy in Charlotte [North Carolina] and is not moving to Austin with [her 5-year-old daughter] Ricki,” another insider told Us. “She is content.”

Okay.  So we are good now.  No more talk about these two.  Worst choice in Bachelor history.  Never bring back a failure…. um, because it’s a failure.

Jennifer Lopez’s Ex Wins: He Can Release Intimate Home Video

Jennifer Lopez must be very unhappy today. It seems her ex, Ojani Noa has found a loophole in their confidentiality agreement from the split of their short-lived marriage in which he was never to speak about her publicly.

That law did not apply to him selling a video tape showing personal moments with Lopez to his girlfriend Claudia Vazquez who is doing the publishing of said tape.

No word on what the tape contains other than personal moments in their marriage. That is not to suggest it’s sexual although I know a lot of people will be hoping for that.

Ed Meyer who is head of this ‘project’ says:

Vazquez has been allowed to release the home videos of Ojani and Jennifer. The project will deal with JLo’s rise to fame, and her marriage to Ojani. Claudia will be meeting with video distributors on Tuesday, and hopefully, a deal can be made very soon.”

The ruling goes states:

“Vazquez argues she has and is suffering harm in that she has had difficulty in obtaining work as a result of Lopez’s attempts at enforcing the Injunction against her.

“Vazquez argues that Lopez, on the other hand, will suffer no harm if Vazquez’s preliminary injunction is granted. Lopez puts forth no arguments contradicting those of Vazquez and, in fact, fails to address this element of the preliminary injunction test altogether. As a result, the Court finds that the balance of the equities weighs in favor of Vazquez.

On the one hand we all want to see this, but on the other hand her ex is a douchebag for doing this when they had an agreement and his girlfriend is no better for being part of this. His move for the ‘loophole’ tells volumes about his character. Let’s be real: he would have received beaucoup bucks form Lopez by signing that confidentiality agreement but it wasn’t enough.

Is it me or is the timing of this interesting? This announcement was made just days after American Idol ended.

What are your thoughts? Douche or fair game, Lopez?
