Nicki Minaj Contemplated Suicide

Nicki Minaj Contemplated Suicide

Nicki Minaj might be the hottest lady in hip-hop right now, but just a few years ago she hit rock bottom. In the November issue of Cosmopolitan, the 28-year-old "Your Love" singer admits that at her lowest point she even considered taking her own life.

"It was just one dead end after another. At one point, I was, like, 'What would happen if I just didn't wake up?' That's how I felt," she says. "Like, 'Maybe I should just take my life?'"

The Trinidad and Tobago native, born Onika Tanya Maraj, says she felt that she didn't have any options and that her career wasn't going to come together. "I kept having doors slammed in my face," she says. "I felt like nothing was working. I had moved out on my own, and here I was thinking I'd have to go home."

This isn't the first time Minaj has talked about her less-than-idyllic young life. Back in January, she shared that she grew up in constant fear that her alcoholic, drug-addicted father would kill her mother. She credited that experience with making her "tough."

"I am an emotional person, but I am a tough person," Minaj said at the time. "It was very tough emotionally for me to have a parent who was an alcoholic and a drug addict. I had a mum with no money."

These days, however, Minaj is in a much better situation. Her debut album, Pink Friday, is certified platinum and even got her nominated for a Grammy (for "My Chick Bad" by Ludacris). Minaj admits to Cosmo that she is living high right now, and predicts that her success and hapiness will continue in the years to come.

So what does Nicki see in her not-so-distant future? "I will have put out five albums and will have an Oscar and Grammys," Minaj  tells the magazine. "And I will be getting married and, a couple of years after that, will have a bun in the oven. My whole life is about being Nicki Minaj now. It's a never-ending saga."

'The Rosie Show' Premieres Tonight: What to Expect

'The Rosie Show' Premieres Tonight: What to Expect

Stand-up comedy. Fun music. Longer-then-usual celebrity chats. These are some of the features we can expect on The Rosie Show which premieres tonight on OWN at 7 p.m. ET. For a sneak peek, watch below:

By the looks of it, Rosie O'Donnell will be going back to her "Queen of Nice" persona, and moving away from the more mercurial side she showed while cohosting The View. She's created a relaxed and friendly writer's room for her staff, where dogs and children are welcome, and everyone seems to be laughing all the time. And she plans to banter with audience members, also reminiscent of the old TV Rosie.

O'Donnell told TV Guide that celeb guests on her show will have no less than three segments in each episode, giving them quality air time. "Guests today get like five minutes, six minutes, and you can't really get a conversation going in that amount of time," O'Donnell said. Think "more Dick Cavett than Charlie Rose, but with humor." In addition to tonight's guest, Russell Brand, she's booked Roseanne Barr, Wanda Sykes, Gloria Steinem, Salma Hayek, Lisa Kudrow, Gloria Estefan and several others.

While many of these celebrities have been around Hollywood for a while, Rosie will not be turning her back on the next generation of stars, such as Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling. "I was really fortunate to have spoken to so many Hollywood luminaries in my career already that it's the new ones and the young ones, the ones that I sort of missed, that I would love to get to sit down with now," she said. Who is the star she's most focused on snagging right now? Emmy winner Melissa McCarthy! "I could not believe how funny she was on SNL. Literally, like, honestly, had to wear (a) Depends undergarment watching that show."

As far as the opening segment of the show goes, O'Donnell mentioned that she will be doing stand-up, modeled after the way that TV host Craig Ferguson opens his late-night talk show. "Every night his monologue is sort of a stream of consciousness about his own truth and his own reality and a little bit of current events and politics woven in but always with a truth and his own voice," she says. "That's the goal."

If this promo spot and this one are any indication, Oprah Winfrey is offering her guidance and input. And really, is there a better mentor to help you launch a talk show? The Rosie Show should do just fine.

HGTV, LA and Dining Room Tables

I've been watching a lot of HGTV since coming to LA. My favorite shows are House Hunters and House Hunters International. There's also another show I like to watch called For Rent, but only because it makes me angry.

When it comes to apartments/homes, I think living in New York for the past eleven years has made me bitter because there was this whiny broad on For Rent a few nights ago who was looking at a huge place—A HUGE PLACE—and was like, "There's no place for a dining room table..."

B*TCH, YOU'RE LUCKY TO GET A KITCHEN IN NEW YORK.

I hated her.

Now there's some stupid lady on House Hunters who wants a townhouse with a fireplace that she can turn on with a light switch. IT HAS TO BE A LIGHT SWITCH because she doesn't want to bend down and flip a switch on the floor.

WHO DO THESE PEOPLE THINK THEY ARE?

Anyway, I know my LA update is WAY overdue (and truth be told I wrote a long one last week but for some reason it didn't save so I lost the whole thing and I was so angry that I just said, "Ah, f*ck it," and closed the computer instead of rewriting) but to give you a quick update, I AM SO HAPPY HERE. I MEAN, I'M REALLY, REALLY HAPPY. And I think living here and watching HGTV—both of these things combined—has made me realize that New York was just beating me down. I mean, the fireplace lady—yes, she's an idiot. But there's nothing wrong with wanting a dining room table. Why did I get so mad at that lady?

Since being here, at least once a day I ask myself why I have lived in New York for so long. (It's like I had Stockholm Syndrome or something.) CALIFORNIA IS AWESOME. It's like the promised land. It's sunny all the time and there are birds and flowers everywhere. I have space out here. I have a sofa on the patio out here. I HAVE A SOFA OUTSIDE. I haven't seen one rat since I've been here. But hummingbirds? THEY ZIP BY MY HEAD EVERY DAY. I am so happy.

I'm supposed to go back to New York in November, but truth be told, I'm not sure I will.
