So, that cafe that John Galilano had his gross, drunken, Hitler praise-session is apparently super popular now. A cafe-goer says: “I had heard this was the place to go because of the chic kids and artists who come here but after what happened with Galliano, this place was a must.” [NYT]

Nicki Minaj Talks about Her Perfume, Praises Cyndi Lauper and Pisses off Her Nail Lady

Hurry up with my nails betch!

It’s no surprise that Nicki Minaj would want to hop on the celebrity fragrance train. The artist tells Allure: “Hopefully, I’ll do one this year. I like scents that feel summer-y, but have a va-va-voom [factor]. I want to smell like a sexy and confident woman, not like candy.”

Nicki also mentioned her least favorite beauty duty:
“You know what’s so messed up? I used to love getting my nails done; it was a time of relaxation. Now, I want to choke myself because I can’t pause my life. In L.A. the nail technicians take 18 hours for a freakin’ fill-in [for acrylics]. My phone goes off a billion times.”

Who’s style inspires her?
“I love Cyndi Lauper’s style. I remember watching her as a kid and thinking, I don’t know who this is, but I want to hang out with her. Her style looked like a piece of art to me.”

Nicki, I’d take some caution the next time you get your nails done.

Nicki Minaj Talks Fashion Inspiration Behind Moment 4 Life Video

The Blonds Spring 2011

Oh Nicki, you’re effing weird but totally lovable. Here’s her new video for Moment 4 Life featuring Drake and in it she dons a pair of Christian Louboutin Glitter Pigalle pumps and a blue gown from The Blonds Spring 2011 collection.

As far as style inspiration for the video Nicki says, “I wanted to take a step away from, like, high fashion or, like, [a] hip-hop, sporty type of look and into just, like, real flowy and just to play dress-up,” she said. “I was envisioning a Shakespeare time, and I figured, ‘What would they wear?’ I felt like the first outfit kinda looked like, almost like you’re in Egypt somewhere back in the day, like a long time ago.”

Shakespeare + Egypt ey? This B is cray cray but totally a friend in the head.

We get it, Nicki Minaj has her own quirky sense of style but something about this Spring 2011 Manish Arora dress looks off. The singer paired her dress with an equally playful pair of Christian Louboutin Amber sandals.

Ke$ha not only wore one failtastic outfit but two! The singer tried to take advantage of the spotlight since Gaga wasn’t there by wearing this atrocious black get-up. Kesh’ failed to redeem herself at an after-party in hideous fur coat and Fall’s hottest hair trend…the fucking mullet. What are we going to do with this b*tch?
