WORKIN' GALS: Nicki Minaj Hits Trinidad To Shoot "Pound The Alarm" Vid + Jennifer Hudson Rehearses For Boston's 4th of July Concert

Jul 04 | by Natasha

Jennifer Hudson is hard at work. No days off for the Holiday as the slim and trim and cleavage rocking YBF chick rlle dinto Boston to rehearse for her upcoming independence Day concert. Pics inside, plus Nicki Minaj arriving back home to Trinidad to film her next video....

Jenny Hudson looked fabulous in this long fitted Zebra print dress with a low cut neckline and high slit. The Weight Watchers spokeswoman rehearsed with the Boston ops yesterday as she will be headlining the big outdoor festival on the Charles River off the Boston Harbour tonight.

She's looking amazing these days. And before hopping on stage, the Winnie actress was spotted arriving to the arena looking laid back and casual:

Her next gig? She's set to star in the upcoming The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete with director George Tillman Jr. According to IMDB, it's a coming of age story about two inner city youths, who are left to fend for themselves over the summer after their mothers are taken away by the authorities.

And look who else is working through the Holiday. Yesterday, Nicki Minaj jetted to Trinidad. The reason for the trip back home to where she was born--she's filming another island video today with director Benny Boom. This time it's for her track, which will be released as a single for her International fans, "Pound The Alarm."

Nicki tweeted today: "Rise and shine Trinidad!!!!!!! Time to shoot #poundthealarm

She was spotted strolling through the airport carrying a Trini flag. And snapping pics with awaiting fans:

The "Starships" rapper put out a casting call earlier this week asking or 500 extras to participate in a big Carnivale scene. This video ought to be interesting...

No one cares how the word is

No one cares how the word is spelled. However, we do care that Nicki Minaj look like a white girl and you islanders are eating it up. So, um, talk about that.

Obviously someone DOES care

Obviously someone DOES care how the word is spelled because they pointed it out. Also, please don't act like 'islanders' are the only one who eat up the white girl look; plenty of yall in North America can't get enough of it. Just saying

J. Hud doesn't look bad in

J. Hud doesn't look bad in these pics, which is a first because her clothing usually sucks and doesn't compliment her figure, I think she may still be mentally fat. And Nicki, Nicki, Nicki, I'm pretty sure the airport staff in Trinidad were probably thinking "Who is that white woman with the fake ass and why the hell is she waving our flag she just got from the gift shop??" She has bleached her skin so much its disturbing. You would never know her and Rihanna were from the Islands based on how they look now. I guess we should "blame the industry"

@Tori, I have tried to ignore

@Tori, I have tried to ignore your snooty, self-indulgent , opinionated rants about everyone and everything but this uneducated misinformed comment irked the fuck outta me. . If your dumb azz knew anything about the islands you wouldn't make such a dumb ass comment about Rihanna and Nicki. There are all shades and races of people in the islands. Get off your lumpy ass and go get a passport and travel a bit. The world is much bigger than your hood. And while your being the typical bitter AA woman hating on Caribbeans , what then is Lil Kim's excuse?

First of all "Non MF'n Factor

First of all "Non MF'n Factor Doe" I state my opnions which are supported by FACTS!! Secondly, I have a passport and have had it since I turned 18. I'm not a "typical AA from the hood hating on carribeans". I happen to know a lot about the Islands considering my parents come from Cuba and the D.R. I know Carribeans come in all different shades but if my memory and Ipad serves me correctly both Rihanna and Nicki were very tan when they came out and now they are pastey as f*ck. Considering Rihanna was born and raised in Barbados her being taken out of her native country where it is sunny almost everyday of the year, it wouldn't be a stretch for her to get a little lighter but Nicki came to the States as a small child and I have seen pics of her before all the implants/shots and she clearly looks like a Jackson. Peep her feet the next time she performs, they are still brown. And lastly, Lil kim lost her marbles when B.I.G. died, and has yet found them. Hope you had a great 4th of July and didn't blow yourself up :)

Suffice it to say that skin

Suffice it to say that skin lightening has become an "epidemic" among ethnic people, everywhere (Case in point: former Dominican MLB player, Samuel "Sammy" Sosa). Just as 'bleaching' one's skin occurs in the United States (primarily among Blacks), it occurs in other parts of the world as well. Contrary to popular belief, the music, modeling and entertainment industries cannot be held accountable for this problem, alone. It is what some would call 'slave mentality', wherein one is of the belief that "if you are white, you're alright". Truthfully, this is a matter of literally being comfortable in the skin that you were born in.

@ParadigmN.Paradise, Thank

@ParadigmN.Paradise, Thank you so much for making your point by engaging in a more academic discourse than I did. This girl just bugs me with her uppity attitude and know it all responses. I know I should be bigger than that but shit she bugs me.

@Tori, My dear the

@Tori, My dear the conversation ended when you declared that you are DR and Cuban. No wonder you spew the bullshit that you do. First of all when you self hating , wanna be white, wanna be Spaniards , so call HISPANICS have some self pride and accept your blackness/ethnicity than we can parlay until then have a seat on a hot pastelles and spin.
