Channeling the character she played in 2010’s ‘Te Amo’, the film’s release follows her spread in the mag, which saw her speak openly on Chris Brown and their rekindled friendship.

“Amazing grace/ How Sweet The Sales That Saved A Stan Like Me“.

In this world, there are two kinds of fan bases. One being the kind that support their favorite acts with their mouths and not their money and the second being the kind to do both.

Nicki Minaj‘s ‘Barbz‘ would fall under the latter.  Indeed, as a result of the buzz surrounding her new LP ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded‘, her debut album ‘Pink Friday‘ has enjoyed a sales boost.

To be exact, despite receiving little to none physical promo in the country, it has reached platinum status.

Six years. Indeed, it’s been six long years since Nelly Furtado got ‘Loose’ with her most successful album yet.

The period following would see the ‘I’m Like A Bird’ singer take time out to embrace motherhood and release two Spanish albums.

Yet, as reported yesterday, Furtado is gearing up to launch a full-on chart assault with new single ‘Big Hoops (The Bigger The Better)’.

And so to as to drum up further buzz, the 33 year old as revealed the title of the track’s housing album, as well as its release date.
