Like the self-proclaimed schizophrenic Nicki Minaj diagnoses herself to be, the flamboyant rapper/singer has made her flip-flopping return to Twitter to announce the release date of the ‘Starships’ video.

Sorry to burst the Barbz‘s candy-coated bubble, but Nicki didn’t come back to the social networking site because she missed you all. She came back because she is a brand–and that brand has got to promote, period.

Find out when to expect the long-awaited Pop visual after the jump and sound-off below.

Beyonce is back! And more stunning than ever.

The ‘Run The World (Girls)’ singer has been named the World’s Most Beautiful Woman 2012 by PEOPLE magazine. It marks the 9th time the mini-industry has made the coveted list.

Today marks the tenth anniversary of Lisa ‘Left Eye Lopes’ passing on to eternity.

And while many a kind word are often cooked up for the departed, the latter couldn’t hold truer for the TLC stalwart. For, her impact -both within the confines of the Grammy winning group and beyond- are ever-enduring.

Indeed, Lopes’ sass, spark, and unparalleled talent earned her legitimate legend status by the time of her death, aged just 30 at the hands of a freak car accident in the Honduras.

And while her physical demise remains one of music’s most shocking tragedies, what lives on and lives loud is her stellar body of work. A body which has enabled many a female group and femcee to be somebody. Hence, for that and so much more, Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopes, That Grape Juice salutes you.

Check out some of our favourite Lisa moments below…

As if Miami wasn’t hot enough, Mariah Carey blazed it up with rapper Rick Ross in a M.I.A studio last night.

The duo were recording with hitmaker Jermaine Dupri for what we hear was a session for Mimi’s upcoming LP.

With a revitalised sound being something her career has been thirsty for, a collabo with the “Bawse” could be just what she needs. What she doesn’t need, though, is any of those late, lacking and redundant beats present on her last few albums. In many ways, this next record  is make or break for her “present day relevance”. Here’s hoping she and team deliver the goods.

Your thoughts?

Isn’t she lovely?
