Nicki Minaj may be a Hip-Hop titan, but the rapper’s rise hasn’t been without its hardships.

In the newest edition of Rolling Stone, the femcee – whose new album ‘The Pinkprint’ hit stores last week, opened up about having an abortion as a teen and her struggles thereafter.

Cop a gander of Jada Pinkett Smith!

The ‘Gotham’ actress flashes her fab abs a-front of Shape magazine’s January/February issue.

Sweet.

Fans hoping for a new Rihanna album over the holidays found a proverbial lump of coal under their trees this Christmas. For, the 26-year-old is still working on the as yet untitled set, which supporters have codenamed ‘#R8’. Or perhaps more accurately ‘R Late’.

Whatever the case, Ms. Fenty isn’t letting the slow-going or dwindling interest dent her drive. Because after celebrating the festive season with friends and family in her native Barbados, the star hit a studio in the region to re-commence recording of the record.

Peep a snap from the session above.

Are you still excited?
