Looks like Nicki Minaj is about to give her fans a daily dose of her animated antics. A reality show starring the Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded creator is reportedly in the works, which just adds to the growing number of projects the Young Money rap star has to her name.

Perez Hilton reports Minaj will have a reality show on the E! Network. An inside source revealed the news to the gossip site, however, other details are scarce at this time.

The show comes on the heels of the 29-year-old wig-wearing MC recently launching a new fragrance and sitting at the judges table on "American Idol."

Rihanna is the picture of happiness on "Diamonds," the newest single off her forthcoming seventh album. The 24-year-old talent premiered the song early Wednesday morning (Sept. 26).

On the Stargate and Benny Blanco-produced effort, the Bajan songstress details a bright love she finds with her significant other. "Find light in the beautiful sea/ I choose to be happy/ You and I, you and I/ We're like diamonds in the sky," she sings.

"Diamonds," which was written by singer-songwriter Sia, is a departure from Rihanna's recent uptempo, dance-centric tracks. While there's fun to be had on the dance floor with many of her songs like "Where Have You Been" and "Only Girl (in the World)," the lyrics on this new, hook-driven tune prove RiRi's opting for a bit more substance.

Rihanna concerned for Chris Brown Oprah's Next ChapterIan West, AP

As reported by The BoomBox, Rihanna is still attempting to put her history with Chris Brown to rest. The wounds from the domestic violence assault she experienced at his hands may have healed but the emotional scars are still fresh. In her upcoming interview with Oprah Winfrey for "Oprah's Next Chapter," the 24-year-old "Where Have You Been" songstress explains how she still is very much worried about Brown's well-being.

In a previous clip, Rihanna revealed that she found a best friend in the Fortune creator and lost him once they cut ties. "Like everything I knew was switched. Switched in a night. And I couldn't control that. So I had to deal with that, and that's not easy for me to understand or interpret. And it's not easy to interpret on camera, not with the world watching."

She may be the victim, but the Grammy-winning entertainer knows Brown needed help after the incident. "I just felt like he made that mistake because he needed help, and who's gonna help him?" she stated. "Nobody's gonna say he needs help. Everybody's gonna say he's a monster without looking at the source. I was more concerned about him.

As reported on The BoomBox: Don't mess with Jennifer Lopez' privacy. The "Dance Again" singer is making that abundantly clear with a $20 million lawsuit she filed against her former driver, who threatened to spill her secrets to the public if she did not pay him $2.8 million.

Hakob Manoukian, who served as Lopez' driver and head of security, began working for her in 2005. He apparently wanted more money for his services and additional control of her security team. When he was denied those requests, Lopez claims he engaged in extortion, attempted extortion and conspiracy.

"Manoukian plotted to retaliate against Ms. Lopez and her management and to use his apparent position of trust to exploit and extort substantial sums from Ms. Lopez," the lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court shows.

According to the suit, Manoukian would expose "sensitive and personal information that he had allegedly overheard while driving Ms. Lopez" if he did not receive the exorbitant sum.
