Well, guess what: Yesterday, she rejoined Twitter. All her old Tweets are there, except a few missing ones that she sent out right before pulling the plug.
Like this one: "Like seriously, its but so much a person can take. Good [effing] bye." (Word has it she was upset at a fan site for leaking music, but she hasn't confirmed that.)
She later said, "A voice in my head told me to delete my Twitter and that's what I did. I had 11 million followers and I hope they will wait for me."
And in another interview, she added, quote, "Let's set the record straight: I just needed a moment to myself. Because some page posted things about me? I mean, I've read horrible things about myself. I wouldn't delete my Twitter over that."
Nicki's followers did NOT remain intact. But as of late last night, she was already back up to 1.6 million followers. (Her handle is @NickiMinaj.)
Oh, to live in a world where your biggest problem is people misunderstanding your rationale for quitting Twitter, and rejoining nine days later.
DOLLAR DOLLAR BILL Y'ALL
Let's say your husband or wife went behind your back and racked up $20,000 in credit card debt. Would you be as upset as if they'd had adulterous sex at a cheap motel with one of their coworkers?
Most people say...YES.
According to a new survey, almost two-thirds of people say that honesty about money in a relationship is as important as being faithful.
And that's too bad...because 37% of men and 56% of women admit that, at some point, they haven't told their partner the truth about money.
25% of women and 8% of men have said they bought something on sale when it wasn't. Women are also twice as likely as men to hide receipts or purchases.
OH WHY NOT: DIRTY SPORTS NAMES
A website called Sports Pickle came up with the funniest names in sports history, and it was a tough competition.
Because former pitcher Dick Pole, Olympic volleyball player Yoshie Takeshita (Tock-ay-SHEE-tuh), and swimmer Misty Hyman didn't even make the cut.
Here are the top 10. (Yes, I'm immature)
#1.) Lucious Pusey (LOO shus poo-SAY): He was a linebacker for Eastern Illinois University in 2006 . . . and he changed his name to Lucious Seymour when he turned 18.
#2.) Rusty Kuntz (Coonts): He was an outfielder who won a World Series with the Tigers in 1984.
#3.) Dick Trickle: He's a NASCAR driver . . . and one of his two career wins was the 1998 Dura-Lube 200.
#4.) Ivana Mandic: She played women's basketball for the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in 2002, and went by the nickname Ivi.
#5.) Chubby Cox: He played basketball for Villanova and briefly in the NBA. He's also Kobe Bryant's uncle.
#6.) Johnny Dickshot: He played outfield for the Pirates, Giants and White Sox in the 1930s and 1940s. And his nickname was "Ugly Johnny."
#7.) DeWanna Bonner (BONN-er): She's a WNBA player and won the Sixth Woman of the Year the last three years.
#8.) Jack Glasscock: He was a shortstop in the late 1800s.
#9.) Dick Shiner: He was a quarterback for six NFL teams in the 1960s and 1970s, including the Steelers.
#10.) Dick Paradise: He was a minor league hockey player in the early 1970s.
BUD LIGHT LIME-A-RITAWhen Bud Light Lime came out a few years back, it was a pretty big success. And now, you can spend the summer with its newer, drunker cousin.
Anheuser-Busch just introduced a new product called Lime-A-Rita which is, "the flavor of an authentic margarita with a refreshing splash of Bud Light Lime."
I'm not sure I'VE ever been to a Mexican restaurant, drank a margarita, and thought to myself, "Ya know, this tastes okay but it could sure use some Bud Light poured in"...but I guess someone has.
Even if the flavor sounds kind of strange, here's a plus. It's more alcoholic than regular beer...it's 8% alcohol-by-volume. Regular Bud Light and Bud Light Lime are just 4.2%.
The Lime-a-Rita has been rolling out nationwide this month in both cans and bottles.
PEACEFUL, EASY FEELING
The Institute for Economics and Peace just rolled out their annual list ranking the U.S. states from MOST PEACEFUL to LEAST PEACEFUL. And for the 11th year in a row, they have some serious beef with Louisiana.
Louisiana has been named the least peaceful state every year since 2000. This year, for the first time, Maine was named the most peaceful state.
The rankings are based on five criteria: Homicides per capita, violent crimes, incarceration rate, number of police employees, and availability of small arms. I'm not sure why they penalize states for having more cops, but whatever.
The top 10 most peaceful states in 2011 were: Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Minnesota, Utah, North Dakota, Washington, Hawaii, Rhode Island, and Iowa.
The 10 least peaceful states were: Louisiana, Tennessee, Nevada, Florida, Arizona, Missouri, Texas, Arkansas, South Carolina, and Mississippi.
Ohio is at #22
The study also ranks cities by their peacefulness. Cambridge, Massachusetts was named the most peaceful city in the U.S....Detroit was the least.

BOY BAND NEWS
ONE DIRECTION'S NIALL HORAN..."The Blonde One"...wants to dye his hair black, but SIMON COWELL won't let him.
A source tells Britain's "Sun" tabloid, "Niall was desperate to get rid of his blonde locks and go black just for an experiment, like loads of normal teens."
He sent Simon a text to see if it was OK, and Simon responded, "no way." The "Sun" speculates that Simon shot him down because he, "fears it will lose the group fans."
Would One Direction really hemorrhage teenage fans if Niall dyed his hair? Who knows. But it would mean that we couldn't describe him as 'The Blonde One' anymore.
So I hit up some girly fan pages online, and came up with some possible alternatives. Niall could be: "The Irish One"..."The One Who Has 'Nerves of Steel'"...or "The One Who Would Rather Lick a Fat Man's Armpit Than Drown in a Sea of Mayonnaise"
I can't vouch for any of those facts. You know how Internet research is.
'PEOPLE' MAG NAMES BEYONCE
"People" magazine has crowned BEYONCÉ the World's Most Beautiful Woman.
Last year, they gave it to JENNIFER LOPEZ. And frankly, I'd have given it to her again. Somehow, J-Lo just keeps getting HOTTER as she ages. I don't feel Beyonce is quite deserving of the honor, but what do I know. You all (mostly) agreed with my on my FB fan page yesterday.
Beyoncé says, "I feel more beautiful than I've ever felt because I've given birth. I have never felt so connected, never felt like I had such a purpose on this earth."
She adds that since giving birth to her daughter Blue Ivy, "the word love means something completely different now."
Runners up for the honor include Sofia Vergara, Charlize Theron, Michelle Williams, Lily Collins, "Hunger Games" star Jennifer Lawrence, Adele, Megan Fox, Kate Middleton, Julia Roberts, Nicole Kidman and two "Mad Men" minxes, Christina Hendricks and Jessica Paré.
ASHTON AND MILA: MAYBE NOTDespite spending all of last weekend with him, MILA KUNIS says she's NOT dating ASHTON KUTCHER. She calls the rumors "absurd" and says, "a friend is a friend."
However...a source (those are my favorite) says they're friends WITH BENEFITS...quote, "There's nothing serious going on...just friends having fun."
That's an interesting idea, since Ashton and Mila starred in competing "friends with benefits" movies last year. Mila's was of course "Friends With Benefits" along with JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE.
Ashton starred with NATALIE PORTMAN in "No Strings Attached".
Meanwhile..."In Touch Weekly" says Ashton has been hooking up a lot since splitting with Demi Moore. No surprise there.
"YER AN ALIEN"One of the fun things about the "Men In Black" movies is seeing which celebrities will be "outed" as aliens. Well, sorry...I'm about to spoil that for you.
Directory BARRY SONNENFELD says that LADY GAGA, JUSTIN BIEBER and TIM BURTON will be aliens in "Men In Black 3".
That doesn't mean they'll make cameos. Their faces will just be shown on the alien surveillance board at Men In Black headquarters.
Sonnenfeld says, "The challenge is you have to get permission from these celebrities...and you don't want to go with people that are either a flash in the pan, or political, or people that then in 10 years no one will know who you're talking about."
"Men In Black 3" hits theaters on May 25th.
YOUNG AND WILD AND FREEEEEEWIZ KHALIFA was busted for pot possession over the weekend.
He was staying at a hotel in Nashville on Saturday night, when some neighbors smelled THE REEF, and called the cops. When they came, they reportedly saw Wiz throw a blunt out the window.
The officers questioned Wiz and his friend, and eventually they admitted to having weed. They were cited for misdemeanor pot possession, and have to show up in court next month.
BACK IN THE DAY MUSIC NEWS: BRANDYThis weekend on Q92, its a BACK IN THE DAY WEEKEND, with 90's and 2000's requests from YOU.
If you didn't catch BRANDY'S VH1 "Behind the Music" special last night, then you missed her talking about that car accident she was in back in 2006, in which a woman was killed.
Brandy was investigated for vehicular manslaughter, but authorities dropped the case due to insufficient evidence. The accident still haunts her, though...especially when people use it against her.
Brandy cried as she said, "Still to this day they know that that's a button. They know that they can call me a murderer or call me someone that killed someone. They know that is a button for me.
"[But] a murderer is someone who premeditates it. I didn't wake up that day to be involved in a fatal car crash. I didn't plan for that. And if I could take it back, I would."
She added, "You don't like me? Fine. But don't use this situation to try to hurt me, because the guilt of being involved is enough. It's something that I'll never truly, truly get over. Ever."
BACK IN THE DAY MUSIC NEWS: MARIAH
The Essential Mariah Carey, out May 8, celebrates the singer’s first decade on Columbia Records, which helped her earn five consecutive number singles, something no other pop artist had done before in the history of the Billboard Hot 100.
From 1990 to 1999, she put out 15 number one singles, 14 of which are featured on this 28-track, 2 CD-collection. But, Carey didn’t want it to be just like her last greatest hits album, which was released in 2001, so she delved into her back catalogue.
“I wanted to create a collection of some of my favorite songs,” Carey said in a statement. “Several of them are very big hits and some are more obscure favorites of mine as well as fan faves.”
Carey divorced her first husband that same year and later made headlines for dating Yankees star Derek Jeter before marrying Nick Cannon in 2008.
For super fans, Carey included two alternate remixes of “Emotions” from back in 1991 and “Anytime You Need a Friend” from her third album, Music Box.

THEN AND NOW

FIGHTING IN BEDAccording to a new poll, the average couple argues in bed 167 times a year...that's almost EVERY OTHER NIGHT. Here are the top 10 things we're arguing about...
#1.) Hogging the covers.
#2.) Snoring.
#3.) Being too hot.
#4.) Not being in the mood for sex.
#5.) Whether to let the kids sleep in the bed. (??)
#6.) Taking up too much of the bed.
#7.) Being too cold.
#8.) The other person's cold feet touching you.
#9.) When to turn off the lights and go to sleep.
#10.) Leaving a light on.
LIGHTS...L-L-I-I-I-I-LIGHTS4%is usually a low number, but here it seems INCREDIBLY HIGH.
According to a new survey by the shopping channel QVC, 4% of people say they sleep with the lights on. I've never met a single adult in my entire life who does that, and they say it's one out of 25. So who knows?
They also asked adults if they bring a teddy bear to bed...and 16% said yes. That's gotta be girls who get bears from their guys, right? Gotta be.
This is actually the third survey I've seen in less than a year to ask adults if they sleep with a teddy bear...the other ones have reported 33% and 10%, so this is somewhere in the middle.)
And finally, one in six adults say they generally go more than a MONTH without washing their sheets...and one in five say they almost never wash them.
IT'S A GOOD STORY...
Watching porno for the plot is like reading "Playboy" for the articles...it's a joke. At least we THOUGHT it was a joke. Maybe not.
According to a survey by the upstanding pornographers at Vivid Entertainment, a solid 14% of men say the most important element for them in a porno is the STORY. That's one out of seven men who prefer their nasty porno sex with a plot.
And 5.4% of the men surveyed say the most important element for them in porno is ACTION. Not sexual action...car chases, fistfights, or explosions. Seriously.
64% of men say SEX is the most important part of porn. And 22% say that a specific porn star is the most important element.
The survey also found that 52% of men say they're aroused watching porno "most of the time"...34% always get aroused...13% get aroused "some of the time"...and 0.4% NEVER get turned on watching porno.
TAXESThink YOURS are bad? This is just OUTRAGEOUS. This year, (GE) General Electric filed a 57,000-PAGE tax return. They e-filed, but if you printed all that, it would be 19 FEET HIGH. And thanks to all the loopholes, they paid ZERO TAX on $14 BILLION in profits.
