Nicki Minaj Blames Target, Walmart Over Poor Album Sales

Nicki Minaj's 'Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded - the Re-UpWhen all else fails, blame your retailers.

Nicki Minaj was recently asked about why she thinks that the re-release of her Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded album (titled Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded - The Re-Up) didn't perform as well as its predecessor.

"It is hard to get the album because the stores basically said that the last few re-releases they had put out did not do well and they didn't want to take a chance. So, Target and Walmart is not selling the album. Target is actually my biggest retailer - they've always been my biggest retailer. They've sold the most Nicki Minaj albums ever, so, thank you, Target. But I wish you could've sold this one."

Windows 8 Pro

Microsoft has just announced that, starting today, you can now pre-order Windows 8 Pro.

It's nice, but it's still a far cry from the $20 OS X Mountain Lion. If you want to get in on the upgrade pricing, head over to Amazon--you'll receive it on October 26th, the same day it is released publicly. If you'd rather to go a brick-and-mortar location, you'll also find similar offers at the Microsoft Store, Best Buy, Office Depot, and more.

In addition, you can now pre-order Windows 8 PCs from companies like Acer, HP, Sony, Samsung, and others.

Amanda Bynes Locks Herself in Changing Room

Amanda BynesAmanda Bynes locked herself in a store changing room for nearly two hours and refused to come out.

The troubled actress - who recently had her car impounded and her driving license suspended - caused concern to shopkeepers at the Kin store in West Hollywood who thought she was "doing drugs" when she refused to come out for a considerable amount of time yesterday afternoon.

"I was so worried about her. I didn't know what she was doing in the dressing room. I didn't know if she was overdosing or doing drugs or what," a clerk told a source. According to TMZ.com, Amanda made a banging noise on the inside of the changing room every 10 minutes for one hour and 45 minutes. When they asked her to come out, she refused, telling them she needed "more time."

She eventually exited and purchased a pair of stilettos and some sunglasses, but as she was going to leave she realized she had not paid for a bathing suit under her dress, which she forgot was on and bought while still wearing. Amanda eventually left when those in the shop called a taxi for her, as she is currently banned from driving.


Items Du Jour: Rihanna on Vogue, Lana Del Rey for H&M

Miley Cyrus+ Angelina Jolie was photographed on her way to meeting Turkish leaders to discuss the crisis in Syria looking like she just walked off the runway. Or perhaps maybe she just borrowed the loose, flowing, ground-length gown from her latest film, Maleficent.

+ Elsewhere, Miley Cyrus was snapped up wearing a black crop top with a pair of pants that could easily have been her pajamas; however, she strangely seems to be pulling the look off. Perhaps this is the magical work of her new, daring 'do?

+ Avid Twitter poster Rihanna broke her own news that she'll be covering Vogue a second time; Annie Leibovitz is again set to photograph the singer for the fashion glossy.

+ H&M released a behind-the-scenes video of the upcoming Lana Del Rey campaign, which was shot as a music video of the singer covering "Blue Velvet." Of course, because no one wants to be all that original these days, it looks very much like the David Lynch film of the same name.
