This time last year, the name Lana Del Rey meant absolutely nothing to the charts and debate she has gone on to dominate.

Rising to ‘mainstream’ fame in the latter part of 2011, this year saw the release of her second studio album, ‘Born To Die‘, spawning the smash hit singles ‘Video Games‘ and ‘Born To Die‘.

Moments ago Nicki Minaj took to her Twitter to reveal the cover artwork for the deluxe edition of ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded’. Unfortunately, the woman on the cover looks nothing like the Trinidadian born rapper–thank God her name is plastered across the front or else we would have assumed this was just a classic case of fanmade photoshop gone horribly wrong.

‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded (Deluxe)’ is expected to include with a handful of bonus tracks and music videos, surly giving her Barbz a variety of extras to enjoy.

Both versions are slated to hit stores April 3, 2012.

 A new hair color always signals something new on the horizon for Barbadian beauty Rihanna.  This time, of course, is no different.  For, while on set of the video which ironically asks the question critics have for years asked about her talent, Ms. Fenty shared this snap of her new dark locks for the ‘Where Have You Been’ visual.

As announced here, the infectious dance track is being serviced as Riri’s next official single in place of the parent album’s once reported, Jay Z-assisted title track ‘Talk That Talk’ .  And, as evidenced by the photo above, you can count on the Grammy winning vocal less to put her true talents on display.
