Nicki Minaj Nude

Nicki Minaj bio:

Rising within the Ranks: Nicki Minaj went from working at Red Lobster toward being the scorching up to date face of womanly hip-hop in fewer occasion than it takes to go to college. She’s as much an iconic sexy figure for her standout manner and naked beauty as she is for tearing up the mic beside your favorite MCs. Her rabid following has bought into Minaj’s total package. The hype is backed by true talent, and she’s unique and feisty. And while every photograph you see in the press personifies her glamorous life as a Young Money superstar, Minaj is no different from every other MC who has ascended the heights of their genre. The native of New York’s Jamaica, Queens, region started at the underside and had to grind her way to the top.

First discovered by Lil Wayne resting on the street-DVD series On the Come Up, Nicki couldn’t obtain any love from DJs in her hometown, so she moved to Atlanta. It was there she recorded some verses for Weezy’s Gangsta Grillz: Dedication 3 mixtape — singing and rapping on songs such as “Still I Rise” with the rest of Wayne’s then-mostly unknown crop of new-fangled talent, including Drake. Nicki also aligned herself with Gucci Mane, addition greatly to her street credibility and profile.

While her sexy figure was our first intuition of Nicki (who can forget that bathing-suit photo in which she paid homage to Lil’ Kim?), Minaj actually found her own lane during the spring of last year with the Beam Me Up Scotty mixtape, which she put jointly with Atlanta’s DJ Holiday. Nick showed us she has boundless personality on the mic, bringing forth her Barbie guise and all the charismatic outfits, rhyme flows and verbal inflections that go along with it. Records from the tape — “Kill the DJ,” “I Get Crazy” with Lil Wayne and “Itty Bitty Piggy” — bubbled on the streets for months, allowing Nicki to hit the club circuit with her own shows.

In the summer of last year, Nick was spotlighted on the Young Money Presents: The America’s Most Wanted Music Festival, and by the fall, seemingly all the guys in song hunted to get with her. Minaj’s career job went to the next level when she started turning in show-stealing cameos, which have carried well into this year. Diddy, Robin Thicke, Ludacris, Sean Garrett, Usher, Jadakiss, Trey Songz, Gucci Mane, Sean Kingston and, of course, her Young Money relations all know that she’s developed into one of the most multitalented performers in hip-hop — and she still hasn’t released her debut album, which is due not on time this year.

Early Insight: “With [my debut] album, I think it’s more imperative that public get used to to seeing a feminine rapper again,” Nicki said. “People don’t even know what a female rapper does. We’re so not used to seeing it. We don’t get nominated. I need to work [the people] up to accepting a female rapper again and accepting my style and all of that — then the album will come.”

Blistering Ballistics: ” Now every these nude bitches wanna try and be my bestie/ But I take a left and leave ‘em hangin’ like a teste/ Trash talk to ‘em, then I put ‘em in a Hefty/ Runnin’ down the court/ I’m dunkin’ on ‘em, Lisa Leslie/ It’s goin’ down, basement/ ‘Friday the 13th,’ guess who’s playin’ Jason?/ Tuck yourself in, you improved hold on to ya teddy/ It’s ‘Nightmare on Elm Street,’ and guess who’s playin’ Freddy?” — on or after Ludacris’ “My Chick Bad”

Forecast: Nicki, who is what’s more a affiliatepart of the Diddy-led all-star Dream Team, didn’t get an devastating reply for her first appearance official single, “Massive Attack,” other than the misstep did nothing to hurt her popularity. Her follow-up, “Your Love,” is already a #1 hit (with no video yet!). It was a leaked track that the fans prized so much, program directors on radio were required to add it. Minaj is working on her yet-untitled first album with Young Money and Swizz Beatz. If she continues to attack her own tracks with the fervor she does on her guest appearances, the LP should be a hands-down winner.

Tuskegee experiment remix

Today’s Washington Post storyabout syphilis testing on Guatemalans during the 1940s recalls another dark chapter in medical history: the Tuskegee experiment, in which some black men were intentionally denied treatment so the disease’s impact could be studied. Friday, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Health and Human Services expands, Kathleen Sebelius apologized for the actions of the U.S. Public Health Service. The experiment of the U.S. government, which lasted from 1946 to 1948 funding, was discovered by the historians of the healing of Wellesley College. Presumably this was done the test, when penicillin, while relatively new, could prevent infection of diseases intimately. The investigation came without notification utility, and was dark for monitoring decades.

The researcher who led the work in Guatemala, also expressed its concern about the experience of barbarism in this country from Tuskegee, where from 1932 to 1972 scientists monitoring group 600 Blacks in Alabama, had syphilis, but do not know, but after the treatment of charity.

The United States apologized today for the incident, which involved the U.S. Public Health Service and the National Institutes of Health. Several books on the Tuskegee experiment are available if you want to read the books here are few of them: “Bad Blood” by James H. Jones, “Medical Apartheid” by Harriet A. Washington, and “Examining Tuskegee” by Susan M. Reverby.

Nigeria independence celebrations marred by blast

The BBC's Komla Dumor says people in Abuja have been shaken by the attacks

At least eight people have been killed in explosions in Nigeria's capital, Abuja, marring celebrations to mark 50 years since independence from the UK.

Police have confirmed that two blasts outside the justice ministry were caused by car bombs.

Earlier, the militant group Mend (Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta) had threatened to target the festivities.

Nigeria at 50

• Learning peace

• Nigeria's influence around Africa
• What does Naija mean?

Nigeria is a major oil producer, yet most of the population live in poverty.

The bombs went off not far from Eagle Square, where the Nigerian elite had gathered for the official celebrations, but no-one there was hurt.

President Goodluck Jonathan, who was inspecting a guard of honour at the time, called it a "wicked act of desperation by criminals and murderers".

'Nothing to celebrate'

Mend, a militant group in the oil-rich south, issued a threat on Friday morning saying it intended to bomb the event.

In the message, the group which is demanding a fairer distribution of the country's oil revenues, said there was "nothing worth celebrating after 50 years of failure".

Analysis

Caroline DuffieldBBC News, Lagos

The militant group Mend had earlier warned that it had planted several explosive devices. In the e-mail, the group addressed Nigeria's dignitaries saying the country had nothing to celebrate on its anniversary.

Mend is a loose coalition of violent groups from the oil-rich Niger Delta. Most of the group's leaders are observing a ceasefire.

Some senior Mend figures are already dissociating themselves from these blasts, but a small faction within the group is dissatisfied with the government's handling of an amnesty process in the Niger Delta.

It is this faction that is presumed to be behind the explosions.

• Preaching non-violence to militants

If Mend militants are responsible for the blasts, it would be the first time that the group has targeted the capital.

At least one of the dead is a police officer.

A fireman at the scene told the BBC that 10 bodies had been found.

The BBC's Ahmed Idris in Abuja says he saw bloody footprints at the scene as emergency workers moved bodies into vehicles.

Our reporter says there may have been a smaller third explosion within the parade ground. Security staff said at the time a gun had gone off accidentally.

The two bombs went off about five minutes apart. Police said the bombs appeared timed to do most damage to those who responded to the first blast.

"There were more casualties at the second explosion because the first explosion drew crowds to the scene, which is close to the second explosion," an intelligence officer told AFP news agency.

"We heard a massive explosion not too far away from us," an eyewitness told the BBC's Focus on Africa programme.

"They said it was a bomb blast and all of us should move... Before we knew it, the second blast just happened. And you can imagine it levelled the people who were very close to that place."

Last year the Nigerian government signed an amnesty agreement with rebels in the Delta, offering cash and the promise of job training for former militants who disarmed.

Violence has lessened and the number of kidnappings has fallen since the deal was reached, but many fighters complain the government has failed to deliver its end of the agreement.

Oil production has increased since the amnesty came into effect - from about 1.6 million barrels per day to about two million now.

Most of Mend's attacks have targeted pipelines and supply terminals in the south.

President Jonathan is himself from the Delta region. When he took office earlier this year, a senior rebel leader told the BBC he would be the best person to solve the crisis in the Delta, as he understands its problems.

Bin Laden Tape: Terror Leader Criticizes Muslim Governments For Military Spending

Al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden called for the creation of a new relief body to help Muslims in an audiotape released Friday, seeking to exploit discontent following this summer's devastating floods in Pakistan by depicting the region's governments as uncaring.

It was the third message in recent weeks from al-Qaida figures concerning the massive floods that affected around 20 million people in Pakistan, signaling a concentrated campaign by the terror group to tap into anger over the flooding to rally support.

But while the earlier messages by subordinates were angry, urging followers to rise up, bin Laden took a softer, even humanitarian tone – apparently trying to broaden al-Qaida's appeal by presenting his group as a problem-solving protector of the poor.

"What governments spend on relief work is secondary to what they spend on armies," bin Laden says on the 11-minute tape titled "Reflections on the Method of Relief Work."

"If governments spent (on relief) only one percent of what is spent on armies, they would change the face of the world for poor people," he said.

The top al-Qaida leader said a new "well-funded" relief organization should be created to study Muslim regions near bodies of water to prevent future flooding, to create development projects in impoverished regions and to work on farming and agriculture to guarantee food security.

"The famine and drought in Africa that we see, and the flooding in Pakistan and other parts of the world, with thousands dead along with millions of refugees, that's why people with hearts should move quickly to save their brothers and sisters," he said.

He urged Muslim businessmen to develop unused agricultural land in Sudan – where bin Laden was based in the 1990s – to boost food security in case of disaster.

The audiotape was posted on Islamic militant websites, according to the U.S.-based SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors jihadi forums and provided a copy of the message. Its authenticity could not be independently confirmed, though the voice resembled that of bin Laden in confirmed messages by him. The tape is aired over a still photograph of a smiling bin Laden superimposed over a picture of a man distributing aid.

The United States and Pakistani officials have often expressed fears that militant groups in Pakistan could drum up support by exploiting frustration among Pakistanis who feel aid has not reached them quickly following the floods that swept through the country starting in late July.

International donors have pledged more than $800 million for flood relief in Pakistan, the bulk of it coming from the United States which has donated nearly $350 million. The United Nations last month hiked up its call for aid, seeking to raise $2 billion for Pakistan's flood victims, its largest humanitarian appeal ever.

Two earlier al-Qaida videos about the floods took a sharply militant tone.

In a video released last week, a U.S.-born al-Qaida spokesman, Adam Gadahn, urged Muslims in Pakistan to join Islamist militants fighting their nation's rulers, saying that Islamabad's "sluggish and halfhearted" response to recent floods showed it did not care for them.

Before that, al-Qaida's No. 2 leader, Ayman al-Zawahri, made a thinly veiled call on Pakistanis to rise up against their government over what he said was the "failure" of authorities there to provide relief to flood victims.

Bin Laden often takes a more elevated, philosophical stance than his deputies, aiming to present himself as a sort of elder statesman – opining, for example, on global warming in past messages. Still, in his last audiotape – released in March – he threatened retaliation if the U.S. executes Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the self-professed architect of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.

I'm Partly to Blame for Hilton Hit-n-Run

Paris Hilton's boyfriend isn't the only one to blame for last night's vehicular run-in with a female photog on the Sunset Strip -- TMZ has learned the shutterbug is actually admitting partial fault in the matter.

The photog -- Carol Williams -- tells us, "I admit I am at fault as much as him" ... adding that she shouldn't have been "out in the middle of the street" in the first place.

Williams is also shedding light on why she thinks Hilton's BF Cy Waits drove away from Boa Steakhouse after the incident -- saying, "After he rolled over my foot, he rolled the window down and asked if I was fine ... someone else answered for me and said 'yes' and he drove off."

As we previously reported, Waits was cited for a hit-and-run -- and Williams was treated for injuries to her leg.

Williams tells us she's still a big fan of Paris and notes, "I want to take responsibility for my actions.” 

Dr. Ryan's Reps: Beware of Patient Poachers!

Beware of plastic surgeons trying to exploit the death of celeb plastic surgeon Dr. Frank Ryan -- so say the people running Dr. Ryan's company ... right after they learned about another Bev Hills doc who's trying to swoop in on Ryan's clientele.



The people at Frank H. Ryan MD, Inc. just fired off an email to Dr. Ryan's former patients saying, "Please be aware that any person who attempts to solicit Dr. Ryan's patients is doing so without authorization."

As TMZ first reported, many of Dr. Ryan's patients are furious after another surgeon -- Dr. Gary Motykie -- obtained Ryan's patient list and blasted out an email in an effort to get their business.

Though Motykie's reps tell TMZ they haven't done anything wrong -- Dr. Ryan's people insist that anyone going after his former patients "may be in violation of patient privacy laws.

Salahis Threaten to Sue 'Real Housewives of D.C.'

The couple known as the white house party crashers have threatened to sue the girls on "The Real Housewives of Washington D.C." if they dare to call them "White House party crashers."

Tareq and Michaele Salahi have lawyered up with Lisa Bloom, who fired off an email to the cast of the show, telling them there has been an exhaustive investigative study of the famous White House dinner. The conclusion: "The Salahis did not 'crash' the White House dinner, nor the Black Caucus dinner."

Bloom goes on to say, "It is simply a false statement of fact, and defamatory, to call the Salahis 'party crashers,' as it suggests they have committed crimes."

Bloom then threatens legal actions if the girls dare use the words.

The Salahis are turning into White House party poopers. Is that actionable?

Oksana Scores Cash in Child Support Case

 Oksana Grigorieva just nabbed $15,000 more a month, because the judge in her child custody case has increased her child support.

Judge Scott Gordon issued an order Thursday afternoon, upping Mel Gibson's child support payment from $5,000 to $20,000 a month.

We've learned Oksana's lawyers had asked the judge to increase the award to $60,000 a month.

Still ... $20,000 a month buys a lot of formula.

Militants set fire to NATO supply tankers in Pakistan

KARACHI (Reuters) - Suspected militants in Pakistan set fire to tankers carrying fuel for NATO troops in Afghanistan on Friday, officials said, a day after three soldiers were killed in a cross-border NATO air strike.

Pakistani authorities, angered by repeated incursions by NATO helicopters over the past week, have blocked a supply route for the troops in Afghanistan.

Senior local officials said "extremists" are believed to have carried out the attack on the tankers in the southern town of Shikarpur early on Friday.

About 12 people, with their faces covered, opened fire with small arms in the air to scare away the drivers and then torched some 30 vehicles.

Three Pakistani soldiers were killed and three wounded on Thursday in two cross-border strikes by NATO forces chasing militants in Pakistan's northwestern Kurram region.

It was the third cross-border incident in a week, the Pakistan military said. NATO said the helicopters briefly crossed into Pakistan airspace after coming under fire from people there.

Hours later, Pakistani authorities halted tankers carrying supplies for the NATO forces passing through the Khyber tribal region on the Afghan border.

Pakistan is a crucial ally for the United States in its efforts to stabilize Afghanistan, but analysts say border incursions and disruptions in NATO supplies underline growing tensions in the relationship.

The United States has already stepped up missile strikes by its pilotless drone aircraft on militant targets inside Pakistan.

A senior Pakistani intelligence official said border incursions were a "red line" and could lead to a "total snapping of relations."

About half of all cargo for NATO forces in Afghanistan travels through Pakistan, most of it via two main border crossings: Chaman and Torkham.

Another third flows into Afghanistan through the northern distribution network across Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Sensitive gear like ammunition, weapons and critical equipment is flown in.
