We spotted a very colorful Nicki Minaj launch the Casio Tryx Out camera in New York City yesterday. She wore a mismash of colors and a gigantic spiked ring. What do you think of her crazy outfit?

Nicki autographed a rare pink version of the camera for an auction with all proceeds going to the American Red Cross to benefit aid efforts in earthquake and tsunami-hit Japan.

The hip hop star is has been touring with her menntor Lil Wayne and treated him to a sexy lapdance during one of their shows in the city last month. He fell off his chair as soon as Minaj completed her bumping and grinding.

Nicki has confirmed she is in negotiations to replace Enrique Iglesias and join Britney Spears on her summer tour. She told WENN, “We’re talking. I would love to, but I don’t know yet. I can neither confirm or deny the rumors!”

Socialite Paris Hilton has her heart set on collaborating with Lil Wayne for her upcoming album release after exchanging contact details with the rap superstar when she interviewed him for a magazine.

The hotel heiress turned reporter to quiz Wayne for the April edition of Interview, and she took advantage of the opportunity to discuss a possible project for her second disc. She gushed to the Lollipop hit-maker, “That would be the sickest thing.”

During the phone chat, the pair bonded over their recent jail stints. Wayne completed an eight-month sentence for gun possession last year, but admitted he struggled to deal with his time in solitary confinement after being busted for having banned music equipment in his cell.

He said, “There were times when it was pretty tough to be by yourself, and to have no television, no sort of nothing… (but) I was OK. I did fine.”

And Hilton expressed her sympathy for the rapper after experiencing life behind bars for herself following a probation violation in 2007, stemming from a previous arrest for driving under the influence.

She told Wayne, “I know how you feel. It’s the best feeling in the world when you come out.”

Rap sensation Nicki Minaj gave her mentor and tour mate Lil Wayne a night to remember on Sunday, when she treated him to a sexy lapdance during their concert in New York.

The stars took their I Am Music II trek to Long Island for the first of two dates at Nassau Coliseum and gave fans an eyeful during Minaj’s set, when she decided against pulling a lucky fan up onstage for her concert stunt – and instead chose to bump and grind against a smiling Wayne.

Before launching into her verse on Sean Kingston’s reggae tune Letting Go (Dutty Love), she told the hip-hop star, “You got the big moves, legs open, hands behind your back, mouth shut. Let’s go!”

However, the raunchy dance proved a little too much for the Lollipop star – he fell off his chair as soon as Minaj completed the cheeky routine.

The lap dance wasn’t the only surprise at the gig – rapper Busta Rhymes joined Wayne onstage for their parts on the Chris Brown track Look At Me Now, although the R&B singer was not present for the performance.

The tour stop marked Wayne’s first live show in the Big Apple since walking free from the city’s tough Rikers Island prison last year. The star served an eight-month term for a weapons possession charge.

A Lil Wayne verse can make an already good song even better, as evidenced by his monstrous 16 bars on DJ Khaled’s “We Takin’ Over.” And when Wayne was putting together the roster for his then-burgeoning Young Money empire, he knew he needed someone who could take his company to the next level in the same manner.

Enter Drake.

“The first thing I said was this kid’s a superstar,” Weezy told MTV News about his introduction to Drizzy. “I don’t think you can remember, but I did some interviews back then when they were asking me about him and I said he’s better than me. I can’t sing. I can make a song, but this kid has the actual R&B presence. Then he’s one of the dopest lyricists. That right there, he has a welcoming appearance. I knew he was something bigger than something I had envisioned for my company when I ran into this kid. I was thinking I’m going to put my people on and we’re going to be all right, but then when I ran into this kid, I was like, this a superstar, he’s got a chance to make my company something for real, something to be thought of, to be remembered.”

Since that time, of course, Drake has skyrocketed to the top with a standout mixtape, So Far Gone, and a successful debut album, Thank Me Later.

What Lil Wayne didn’t know at the time he assembled the YM crew, however, was that he’d have two franchise stars, the second being Nicki Minaj, who also ascended to superstardom in her own right.

As a result of signing both rappers, Wayne has managed to turn himself into a mogul on par with Diddy, Jay-Z and his boss, Cash Money’s Birdman.

“I can’t front, I just thought she was going to be the new female MC that none of these other female MCs can touch,” Wayne said about Nicki. “But now, she’s blossomed into a megastar with this new attitude and this style. Now when I talk to her, I just tell her, ‘Do what you do, baby.’ I used to be able to go into the studio and say, ‘Nah, don’t say that, don’t say that.’ You know, ‘That was better.’ Now, do what you do, baby. I don’t have a clue about what you’re doing right now, but it’s working, do it.”

Lil Wayne ran into trouble again earlier this week after he was reportedly stopped and searched by cops in Miami, Florida.

The “Lollipop” hitmaker became a free man again in November after completing an eight-month prison sentence for a weapons possession charge.

He pleaded guilty to one count of felony possession of a dangerous drug just days after he was released from prison and was handed 360 hours of community service in his adopted Miami, Florida as punishment. He was also banned from drinking as long as he is on probation.

But the rapper found himself being searched by federal agents from the Drug Enforcement Agency at a party at Opa-locka Airport in Miami, according to TMZ.com.

However, Lil Wayne was completely clean and had no contraband on his person, so agents allowed him to go on his way.

Nicki Minaj worries about being a role model for young fans.

She explained, “Being honest, if I had a daughter I wouldn’t want her listening to a Nicki Minaj CD until she was a certain age. Even when I meet my fans and they tell me they are 12, I cringe a little. I always say, ‘Listen. I don’t want you saying the bad words, put school first.’”

Rapper Lil Wayne is heading back to the stage in March for his first U.S. tour since serving time in prison last year.

The Lollipop hit-maker will launch the 25-date I Am Music II trek with a show in Buffalo, New York on March 18th, before hitting the stage in cities including Cleveland, Ohio; Chicago, Illinois; Miami, Florida and Atlanta, Georgia.

And he is making his comeback tour an all-star affair – he will be supported by hip-hop sensation Nicki Minaj, rapper Rick Ross and rocker Travis Barker.

Wayne walked free from New York’s tough Rikers Island incarceration center in November  after serving eight months for weapons possession.

He performed his first post-prison show with his protégé Drake in Las Vegas, just two days after regaining his freedom.

Lil Wayne has suspended his Twitter account after an internet prankster hacked in and sent a number of questionable messages to his fans and famous followers.

The rapper’s page is said to have been illegally accessed on Sunday, and a series of strange posts were subsequently sent out.

The hacker sent rude messages to Lil Wayne’s celebrity pals, including 50 Cent, Soulja Boy and The Game, and made explicit jibes about the Lollipop hit-maker’s recent spell in prison on weapons possession charges, according to AllHipHop.com.

A post sent to Soulja Boy reads, “I sent a donations (sic) to your Paypal, check it, I heard you got 13,000 (record) sales lil homie, I feel bad for you!”

Lil Wayne’s Twitter account has now been taken offline. The page was previously hacked late last year, with the impostor posting fake news that the rapper would be performing with Nicki Minaj. Lil Wayne said at the time, “I was just mad that somebody went on my Twitter, like that’s my personal Twitter!”
