Whoa There! Nicki Minaj Shows Off Butt and Curves in Thong Bikini—Check It Out!

As if words could do this photo justice! Nicki Minaj gave her followers on Instagram quite an eyeful early Monday morning. The rapper posed in a series of snapshots in a neon thong bikini in front of a stunning ocean setting, but really, who's looking at the scenery? No one. Let's get back to the real star of the show here: Minaj's famous curves. The "Super Bass" singer's figure was on point (and proudly on display) in her barely there swimwear. And what better to accessorize a butt-baring bikini photo shoot than with a pair of insanely high white heels? OK, girl, we see you. Minaj captioned one of the shots, "have a nice day" (oh, we will now!) and the other with a peace sign emoji. The 30-year-old seems to be taking a break from working on her third studio album, which has taken a bit of a backseat since her former days on American Idol. She'll also be making her big screen acting debut opposite Cameron Diaz and Kate Upton in the upcoming Nick Cassavetes-directed comedy The Other Woman. (She also voiced Steffie in the animated Ice Age: Continental Drift.) Minaj opened up to E! News about her first day of work jitters and what it was like to make her first foray into the world of acting. "Cameron Diaz walks in the room and I'm like, 'Kill me. Is this really happening?'" Minaj said. "She lights up the room and all I could think of is what if I do something and she things that I suck, what is she going to say? Is she going to demand that I be kicked off the movie? I was just thinking crazy stuff." But of course, none of her fears came true. "She came up me in the middle of the day and was like, 'You're doing such a great job,'" Minaj said. "That melted me…And that pushed me. She was like, 'You're making really great choices.'" Bravo!

'Nicki Minaj' is 'Ultimate Kalokalike'

MANILA -- A cell center agent from Pasay City won the "Ultimate Kalokalike" title on Saturday, after turning the "It's Showtime" studio into a concert venue as her pop idol Nicki Minaj. Earning "big stars" for her spot-on impersonation of the American rapper and energetic performance of the club hit "Starships," Jennifer Katayong was named the second grand winner of the hit celebrity look-alike segment. As the champion of "Kalokalike: Face 2," Katayong brought home P300,000 and a "special artista package." At first maintaining her persona as Minaj, a tearful Katayong received her prize, saying, "You know what, I'm really overwhelmed. I can't think of any words to say right now. Oh my God, thank you so much!" Dropping her impersonation of the pop star, she continued, "Sa lahat ng mga crush ko na hindi nagkaka-crush sa akin, now you know that I exist!" 'You nailed it, girl!' Earlier in the competition, judge Jhong Hilario praised Katayong for her commitment to impersonating her celebrity look-alike. "Alam mo, ikaw 'yung Kalokalike na talagang hindi bumibitaw sa character. Napakaswerte mo na na nandiyan 'yung kamukha mo, kasing katawan mo, kasing kulay mo. "Tapos 'yung talent talagang pinag-aralan mo. Kinuha mo. Ibig sabihin, gusto mo talaga manalo ngayong araw na 'to. Kaya nakita ko talaga 'yung effort," he said. "Kaya Nicki Minaj, you nailed it, girl," quipped Hilario, who was joined in the panel of judges by actor Richard Gomez, comedian-impersonators Jon Santos and Willie Nepomuceno, ABS-CBN journalist Korina Sanchez, and actress Bianca Manalo. Runners-up 'Ultimate Kalokalike' first-edition winner Jonathan Garcia poses with his successor Jennifer Katayong, and her runners-up Reginald Abrio, Michael Angelo Lasac, John Alternado and Mark Anthony Sanchez. -- Photo by Michael Bagtas for ABS-CBNnews.com Placing second and third to Katayong were apl.de.ap. look-alike Reginal Abrio and Mr. Bean impersonator Michael Angelo Lasac. They won P200,000 and P100,000, respectively. Also placing in the Top 5 were Raymond John Alternado and Mark Anthony Sanchez, who impersonated Bamboo Manalac and rapper Abra, respectively. They won P50,000 each. Special awards, worth P20,000 each, were also given on Saturday. Abrio received the "Picture Frame Award," the contes't most photogenic recognition; while Lasac took home the Texters' Choice Award, for earning the most number of text votes. Taylor Lautner impersonator Christopher Diwata, on the other hand, won the "Kumarir Award," for the most improved "kalokalike." The conclusion of "Kalokalike: Face 2" came four months after the grand finals of its first edition, which awarded the "Ultimate" title to Christopher de Leon impersonator Jonathan Garcia.

Nicki Minaj Thanks Fan for Getting Her Out of Ticket, Fires Back at Rapper Gucci Mane's Sex Claims

Nicki Minaj's fans, known as Barbz, are known to support the rapper's music career and business ventures. They even come in handy to help the star avoid a traffic ticket. It turns out that the singer was facing a potential ticket from a traffic cop, but it turns out the police officer's daughter is a huge admirer of Minaj so the female officer decided to let it slide. But the celeb was so thankful that she made sure to give her fan a special thank-you note that Nicki shared on Twitter. "Her mother is a traffic cop. She was about to give us a tkt. ;)," she wrote with the photo. The note said, "To my beautiful barb Ayanna! You and your mom are amazing!! Love always, Nicki." (Let's hope Ayanna's mom doesn't get in any hot water over this.) Minaj may have been able to avoid troubles on the road, but she was thrown into some Twitter drama after rapper Gucci Mane went on a dissing tirade, where he called out a number of artists (Drake, Ciara, Keyshia Cole...you name it), and even claimed that he had sex with the Pink Friday singer. "May God strike me dead if I ever had sex wit that man #ugliness," Minaj replied in a tweet that she later deleted. "He's sick and in dire need of rehab. #Love" However, Gucci continued to add fuel to the fire, tweeting, "So nikki I didn't have you in atl for 2 weeks room rate 60 a night?" This time, Minaj decided to simply respond with a rhyme, "Career aint goin nowhere like horses in da stable/ bitch I'm in the mansion, flossin, clickin cable." (Drops mic, walks off stage.)

Nicki Minaj Twerks in a Pool—Watch Singer's Sexy Instagram Video!

Nicki Minaj just can't stop posting sexy pics and videos of herself on Instagram! Just a day after her racy almost-naked thong Thursday photo, the 30-year-old singer took to the social networking site today to post a video of her twerking in a pool. In the black and white clip, Minaj shakes her butt with her leg up while halfway submerged in water. For the video, the blond beauty sports a printed swimsuit and sunglasses. The former American Idol judge even cracks herself up during the twerking session. After showing off her moves, Minaj then poses for a close-up shot of her ample cleavage before hopping on a motorcycle that's decorated with a sketch of her face. She poses on the hog while revving the engine, all done poolside. "Video #bikeLife," she tweeted with a link to the vid. "#TwerkDatAssThusdays," she also wrote. Minaj has been busy on the social networking site posting lots of shots of herself. Yesterday, she shared an Instagram pic of her butt in a teeny, tiny pink thong that left very little to the imagination with the caption, "ThongThursdays" (not to mention her #CamelToeWednesdays shot!).

Nicki Minaj Officially Leaves American Idol

Count on Mariah Carey to beat Nicki Minaj to the punch...or on Minaj to steal Carey's thunder. Either way you look at it, the divas' time butting heads on American Idol is over. Fox announced today that Minaj will not be returning to American Idol next season less than two hours after Carey's exit was announced. "Nicki Minaj is a superstar who brought a level of honesty and passion to American Idol and who had a tremendous positive impact on so many contestants this season," Fox said in a statement. "Given her extremely busy career, we understand and respect her decision and wish her the best." Minaj tweeted after the announcement: "Thank you American Idol for a life changing experience! Wouldn't trade it for the world! Time to focus on the Music!!! Mmmuuuaahhh!" Producers counted on Minaj and Carey to stir up ratings for the long-running singing competition, but their so-called feud fizzled by the end of auditions. Jennifer Hudson has signed on to be a judge in season 13, and producers are also reportedly chasing alums like Adam Lambert and Clay Aiken to join as well. Kelly Clarkson, we're told, had been approached but will not be taking part in the new season. Will you miss Mariah and Nicki on Idol?
