As Pop’s leading ‘newbie’, Nicki Minaj is landing opportunities not even she could have anticipated in her earlier days.

Scoring a lucrative deal with Pepsi and then becoming the  face of Adidas’ upcoming Jeremy Scott campaign, the pint sized MC has become quite the magnet for brands hoping to cash in on her star power.

So, just when you thought things couldn’t get any better for the Rapper, she has confirmed reports believed to be untrue last year. Reports, which claimed she was offered a judging role on FOX’s ‘X Factor USA‘.

When she isn’t rolling in green, you can be sure to  Nicki Minaj in something Pink- whatever the occasion.

And it only took 12 years!

For, if sources prove correct then Jenny from the block might be coming to a block near you.  As headlines continue to brew over the steamy visual that was ‘Dance Again’, word has it that ‘On the Floor’ diva Jennifer Lopez will be taking those songs and more on the road this summer.  Said to also be readying her greatest hits package, the timing would be perfect as her second stint on hit reality TV show American Idol is wrapping up (as is work on her forthcoming films).

Inviting fellow early 2000s Latin hitmaker Enrique Iglesias to join (who also enjoyed a career resurgence in 2010/2011 with Pitbull), fans of the ‘I Like It’ crooner would certainly like knowing the trek is expected to cover 60 cities worldwide and include stops in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia.

The tour would be J.Lo’s first full road-trip and is set to kick off in June.  No dates have been announced at this time.

Would you go see J.Lo on tour?
