As much as I love  Nicki Minaj  (trust me my admiration runs deep) and everything she stands for, something isn’t quite right with her response to the uproar following her  acceptance speech at the 2014 BET Awards . The  “Pills N Potions”  rapper was clearly throwing shade as she pretended to sip tea and blast fake rappers who don’t write their rhymes, but wants us to believe that she was really just defending the women rap game. Whether her words were aimed at Iggy or not, the blatant statement rocked the Internet. “My point is, what I want the world to know about Nicki Minaj is, that when you hear Nicki Minaj spit, Nicki Minaj wrote it,” she said. “And it made me realize, I don’t care what anybody got to say. I’m going to do me,” she said. “And I hope and pray that BET continues to honor authenticity.” Nicki attempted to clarify her acceptance speech on Twitter, saying:

A rumoured 5.5inch model could have more memory than ever before in an effort to make it a premium version of the phone Share Tweet +1 Internet Unknown Differ: Apple are trying to separate the two sizes The phablet version of  the iPhone 6  may contain 128GB of internal storage. According to the Chinese website Wei Feng, the 5.5inch model may be kitted out with more memory than any iPhone before it. Apple fans have been eagerly awaiting for such a storage increase ever since the iPad 4 was released with 128GB in 2013. If the plans go through, it will have the largest memory ever seen on an iPhone. Those opting to buy the standard 4.7inch version will still find an increase but not on the same level. Instead, customers will have the choice between a 32GB or 64GB model. It is rumoured that Apple is trying to differentiate between the two forthcoming handsets by making the 5.5inch model a 'premium' version of their flagship phone. Not only will it

At the age of 65, Ozzy is both literally and metaphorically sobering up – and he claims he would rather die than battle a life-changing illness Despite giving it his very best shot over the years, not a lot can keep Ozzy Osbourne down.

The reality star seems to be having a bit of a contest with herself - 'which dress can cling to me more? Just when you thought Kim Kardashian had worn every single one of the skintight dresses, she emerges in another one. Kanye West's missus showed us all how to shop in style - and no doubt make a few fellow shoppers' eyes pop out in the process - when she headed out in New York today. The brunette beauty showed off her enviable cleavage and famous bum in the light grey dress - which acted more like a second skin than anything else. And it was a good day in the world of all things Kim, because she was smiling almost all the way into the shops - no pout in sight. Perhaps she was thinking of her beloved daughter North at home.

The actress reckons the party animal character Lacey Jonas looks just like her - and reportedly says she never gave them permission for it Similar? Lindsay Lohan is suing the creators of Grand Theft Auto after they allegedly based a character on her, according to a recent lawsuit. The actress  - who celebrated her 28th birthday today - reportedly hit the video game makers with a civil lawsuit after they allegedly used her image for a character named Lacey Jonas without her permission. The star's lookalike alter-ego parties at infamous celebrity haunt, the Hotel Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood, "a place where the plaintiff once lived and often frequents", according to the case documents. The New York Post newspaper's Page Six column reports the troubled actress is coming after game creators Take-Two Interactive for an unspecified sum of money. Lindsay has been threatening legal action since December, shortly after the fifth installment of the video game

Spaniards have agreed to a straight cash deal for a record fee so Alexis Sanchez's reluctance to move in part-exchange will not derail the deal Andrew Powell Nou player: Liverpool and Barcelona have agreed a deal in principle to take Suarez to Spain Luis Suarez  is  joining Barcelona after the Spanish giants agreed in principle to pay Liverpool a record fee for the striker. No precise sum was agreed when the clubs met in London for talks on Wednesday, but Barcelona have accepted they will have to stump up more than their opening £60million bid to sign Suarez. The Reds  price  last season's double Player of the Year  at £75m and have told Barca to forget about  brokering a cut-price deal  because of  his four-month ban for biting  Giorgio Chiellini last month while playing for Uruguay at the World Cup. Both sides agreed to include Alexis Sanchez in the deal, who is valued at £32million by Barcelona - but the Chile World Cup forward has yet to be consulted. Sanchez

Will Cheryl prove Simon Cowell's secret ratings weapon? She will if she brings back magic like this to the judges' panel PA Cheryl Cole and Simon Cowell: Think this makes him a brilliant judge of brilliant judging talent Cheryl Cole says Simon Cowell was right to sack her from the X Factor the first time around, but was he really? National Treasure in training Chezza  has had her ups and downs like every other judge on  the ITV talent show  but she's also wracked up some pretty major YouTube views on her best moments. Here we run down  the best of them , including crying, performing, fighting and even one very awkward moment where she appears to, erm, break wind. It's moments like that that saw the UK fall in love with the Geordie lass and saw her bring in a ridiculous number of YouTube veiws. Check out few of her moments below.

The Swiss defender was on hand as France hammered five past them in the group stage but the FIFA-approved Castrol Index has in him in the top 10 Clive Brunskill Swiss ease: Djourou's performances in Brazil have apparently put him in the top 10 Johan Djourou has had a better World Cup than Lionel Messi, according to  a FIFA-approved ranking system. The Castrol Index ranks players based on numerous variables and "uses the latest technology to objectively analyse player performance", and helps identify "which players truly deserve to grab all the headlines." And when all the numbers are crunched the Swiss defender makes the top 10. That's right,  the same Swiss defender  who was on hand as France hammered five past them in the group stage. And  Argentine Messi  missed out on the top 10 altogether despite getting the man of the match award in all of the matches he has played. Brazilian defender David Luiz  has apparently been the best player at t

Chezza also reveals the foul-mouthed text she sent to the music mogul after he dropped her from the US show FameFlynet Back and here to stay! Cheryl Cole says Simon Cowell was right to fire her from the US X Factor - admitting she wasn't "well in the head" at the time. The singer  also revealed the shocking foul-mouthed text she sent the music mogul after being humiliated just weeks into her high-profile job. She told Elle UK : "I can talk about this because I'm OK about it now. But I went through hell and it literally drove me mad. I became so desensitised, you could say terrible things to me and I wouldn't even think about it. "I'd read awful stuff about myself and not blink. I shut down because I didn't know what else to do." She told the mag: "Now I can say that Simon was right to get rid of me. "I wasn't well in the head when that was going on, so it wasn't going to work. But he wasn't right not

No wonder Robin Thicke has been begging like Keith Sweat for his estranged wife Paula Patton to forgive him, he hasn’t seen her in four months! *Sheds tear* Or is this shameless promotion for his  album “Paula”  (that he named after her) in-stores today? Robin Thicke has been on a campaign to win back his high school sweat heart, but it clearly isn’t working. The couple haven’t laid eyes on each other in months. Perhaps Robin should have thought of the consequences before getting caught up in  numerous cheating rumors  (or photo’d with his hand palming another woman’s a**). We’re sure Paula is tired of him performing his baby, baby please jam just as much as his former fans, who’ve sworn him off since the breakup, are. Yesterday, some poor intern thought up the  hashtag #AskThick e that turned ugly with #AskRKelly speeds! Between the tweets accusing his of being a stalker, critics expressed just how much the “Blured Lines” crooner needs to knock it off. As much as we’re advoca

Nobel Laureate Professor Wole Soyinka has  blamed  governments for allowing religious fanaticism to undermine Nigeria’s broadly secular constitution, starting with former President Olusegun Obasanjo allowing some states to declare Sharia law in the early 2000s. According to him “When the spectre of Sharia first came up, for political reasons, this was allowed to hold, instead of the president defending the Constitution. Soyinka who spoke with Reuters in Abeokuta on Wednesday said “We cannot ignore the negative impact which both have had on African society… They are imperialist forces: intervening, arrogant. Modern Africa has been distorted.” He noted that while the leadership of Boko Haram needed to be “decapitated completely, “little had been done to present an alternative ideological vision to their “deluded” follow­ers, driven largely by economic destitution and despair.    Soyinka, also contended that  Nigeria is suffering greater carnage at the hands of Boko Haram th

If you missed the  2014 BET Awards , you missed the most epic shade ever throw in an acceptance speech by an female rap artist of all time.  Nicki Minaj sipped the tea as she subliminally blasted potential competitor Iggy Azalea,  accusing her of not writing her own rhymes. Iggy had just performed her hit song “Fancy” and “No Mediocre” with T.I. earlier in the show. 92Q Jams caught up with T.I., what appears to be before the show, and picked his brain on the Australian artist. “Iggy is a hard worker. She’s been grinding, really paying her dues and putting her work in for quite some time,” he said without elaborating. There’s no telling if Iggy actually pens her “Fancy” bars. The world watched in shock during this year’s  BET Awards  when  Nicki Minaj  took jabs at newcomer Iggy Azalea  during Nicki’s acceptance speech after winning the  best female hip-hop artist  award for the fifth year in a row. I was sitting in the awards show and witnessed it live. It appeared all of Nic
