Celine Dion is wasting no time hitting the promo circuit in support of her freshly announced ‘Courage Tour.

The diva’s latest stop was Jimmy Kimmel Live, which broadcast from Las Vegas this week; an apt location given the star’s 16-year run on the Strip with two back-to-back mega-selling residencies.

This go round, though, she’s taking the show on the road and couldn’t be more excited.

Speaking with Kimmel, she explained that the trek will be her first US jaunt in over decade and will last a year – seemingly confirming that it will be going international.

She also revealed that the tour and her forthcoming album share the same name, which is lifted from a track on the hotly anticipated LP.

As far as fan bases go, few have been as impactful and creative as Nicki Minaj‘s.

For, as the Country star Lil Nas eyes a Billboard Hot 100 #1 after rising to fame on Twitter as Minaj loyalist “Nas Maraj“, a number of the rapper’s fans have risen to become influential figures in Pop culture’s digital realm.

One of the first? David Alexander, the brains behind the Youtube series ‘The Necki Menij Show’.

The series was set in a town ran by “Menij” and inhabited by her Pop peers and in many ways served as a promotional vehicle for her hit-kissed sophomore album ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded’…and now offers a hilarious look into how the rapper and said peers were perceived by fans circa 2012/2013.
