Nicki Minaj and Ricky Martin Team Up for MAC VIVA GLAM Campaign
After unveiling behind-the-scenes footage from her OPI Nailpolish collaboration, Nicki Minaj is moving on to her next foray into fashion as the new face of MAC VIVA GLAM campaign.

She’s also sharing the campaign with Ricky Martin, who is a stunning and handsome man, but does he actually wear make-up? I mean, he’s gay sure, but that doesn’t mean he’s going to wear lipstick. That’s like a homeless person trying to sell me a kitchen remodel.

Regardless, I love looking at Ricky Martin’s face and Nicki Minaj’s colorful get-ups are always an eye-full so this new campaign is fine by me.

The duo were shot by famed photographer David LaChapelle and feature Ricky holding up a giant lipstick tube like a Viking while Nicki crouches low over a bright blue motorcycle. True to form, Nicki is wearing a hot pink dress, pink wig, tiara, and those infamous hot pink Nicki Minaj lips.
Gaga Promotes Safe Sex!
As we all know Lady Gaga is the spokesperson for M.A.C.'s Viva Glam Campaign promoting AIDS awareness.

They’ve released a new video with Gaga applying nude lipstick surrounded by sparkling skulls and mirrors. Aside from the skulls, Gaga shows off a softer side to her probably because she’s trying to promote safe sex with the campaign.

Gaga and Cyndi Lauper raised $34 million for MAC Viva Glam last year. The campaign has used seven different celebrities in the past and they’ve raised the same amount so Gaga has to step it up a little.

What do you guys think of the commercial/film?

Gaga and Cyndi Lauper Release MAC Lipsticks
The MAC lipsticks by Lady Gaga and Cyndi Lauper are finally here! The two artists teamed up with the makeup giant late last year in an effort to benefit children affected by HIV/AIDS. One ad reads, "You know you've got a sexy voice. Use it! Let's talk about how to keep your love life safer, seductive and satisfying. Just between us girls!"

The two women will be appearing in MAC's new Viva Glam advertisements, a collection which has raised $150 million since 1994.

Gaga told WWD, "We want to make this trendy and fun. We don’t want this discussion of AIDS to become this overly intellectual discussion, because we need to make discussions about AIDS really normal -- not sitting in school nodding off because your teacher’s handed you some sheet that’s like all these percentages and graphs, and you’re thinking, well, she probably hasn’t had sex in 15 years. Sex education should be bright and vibrant and every woman should want to have this in her purse."

"We lucked out," Lauper added. When we met each other, we liked each other and are interested in the same type of things. We laugh about similar things."

Look for the ads later this month. The bubble-gum pink Viva Glam Gaga and the coral red Viva Glam Cyndi lipsticks will be available on March 18 and will cost $14.

Here's the two doing Good Morning America today:
