Arguably, 2011 was the Year of the Barbz. Nicki Minaj ruled the charts and the airwaves with her debut LP ‘Pink Friday.’ The rap vixen’s hard work has certainly paid off as her album hit double-platinum (2 million shipped) before the close out of 2011. Minaj announced on her Twitter of her recent achievement, stating, “World Wide sales: @NickiMinaj, Pink Friday 2.2million.”
Minaj won’t be resting on her rap laurels in 2012. Up next is her highly-anticipated sophomore effort titled ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded,’ which hits stores on Valentine’s Day. However, there’s nothing loving about Minaj’s evil alter ego Roman Zolanski. Judging by the song ‘Stupid Hoe,’ the haters are going to feel the wrath of the Big Zo.
The Young Money queen recently shot videos for both ‘Roman in Moscow’ and ‘Stupid Hoe,’ which is expected to hit the Internet in a couple of weeks. Minaj plans on twerking and eating fried chicken in her ‘Hoe’ video. “Barbz, shld i twerk in the stupid hoe vid???” she asked her tweeples. “But i 4got my twerkin moves … dang.”
We wish Nick Minaj a successful 2012 with her new album and upcoming projects.

Holly Robinson REACHES OUT To Fans Of “The Talk” And SAYS She’ll Continue Fighting For Autism Awareness
Fans of Holly Robinson Peete may be upset that she won’t be returning to CBS’ gabfest "The Talk" but they will be impressed by her handling of the situation. The gracious and sophisticated lady released a statement thanking fans and CBS and also added that she will continue fighting for families with specials needs. Read it inside….
Showing how to handle the "closing" of a door with grace and classy, Holly Robinson Peete released a statement about her departure from "The Talk" making it clear that is was not her decision. She then thanked CBS for the opportunity and fans for their support.
Here’s her statement:
After weeks in limbo, I was finally "officially" given word from CBS today that I have not been picked up for the 2nd season of The TALK. I realize there have been several reports and "leaks" for sometime to this effect but until today I was not contractually released which prevented me from moving on and finding other work.
While I am relieved to have this closure, it doesn’t diminish my disappointment one bit about not continuing with a show I worked very hard to launch and love dearly.
But I’ve been around long enough to know that while you cannot control certain situations you CAN control how you respond to them.
Thank you to CBS for a tremendous opportunity to realize a long held dream of mine to host a daytime talk show. I learned SO much and will cherish and build upon my experience. Best of all I made some friends for life…
I want to thank The TALK viewers and those who supported and rallied around me and expressed appreciation for the humor and heart I attempted to bring to the table… You lifted me!
But by far, what I will miss the most: the amazing platform to spread awareness about families affected by autism and special needs. Just know that I will never stop speaking for you, and sharing your stories…EVER.
Although this door has closed, I am full of excitement about the new doors that will open for me.
Gotta go grind!
I Love you.
Thank you.
See you soon.
Holly
Good luck on your next project Holly!
