Very inspiring and ballsy.”Nicki has had a slew of hits and toured all over the world, and she told the mag that during her Australian stop she had a “weird epiphany.”PHOTOS: Nicki Minaj: Her Wild Style “I was on a world tour, a big feat for a female rapper. For the first time, I allowed myself to feel proud of where music had gotten me, and I felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude. You feel the need to pay it forward, which starts with analyzing yourself with a true desire to grow,” she said. “I was praying every day, ‘You know what, Lord? I want to be a mom one day, and I want to start becoming the woman who I want to parent my child.’ I wanted all of the feelings of entitlement to leave me, because some people have this life for a year or five or 10 – and a lot of them lose it. I didn’t want to become a person who wasn’t enjoying the moment.”The music superstar also addressed her time on “American Idol” in the interview, noting that it showed people her personality.WATCH IT NOW: Nicki Minaj: I Wanted A ‘Universal’ Scent For Pink Friday Scent For Pink Friday“The perception that people had of me completely changed because there are no cue cards, there’s no script, it wasn’t [me] performing a song. It was, ‘Let’s see [your] real personality.’ My core is a genuine human being who roots for other people,” she said. “I didn’t want to blow smoke up their a**. I wanted every contestant to leave with something that they could remember.”Also included in the interview excerpts released by Marie Claire on Tuesday were Nicki’s tips for getting a man.“Don’t chase any man. Put your school first. Men love independent women,” she said. “You don’t have to be a bitch, but there’s nothing wrong with it at times. And: Men are kids at heart. They want to be nourished and pet like a dog.”

Video: Have you ever wanted your own in-house car wash? Now's your chance
An inventor in Scottsdale, Arizona has made the automatic, touchless car wash a bit more convenient. That is, so long as you can afford it. Dale Retter is the man behind AutoGreenWash, a system that fits in any standard home garage and cleans your car with the help of 48 high-pressure, computer-controlled nozzles. A waterproof curtain lowers from the ceiling to keep the rest of your home from going sudsy while a special water capture system allows you to reuse the runoff for home irrigation. Retter says he chose a specific cleaning agent that was both effective and environmentally friendly.
It even uses warm water courtesy of an in-line heater. How much will the setup cost you? That'll be $29,500, plus an installation fee of $4,000. Did we mention it has an auto-drying function, too? We'll take two, my good sirs. Check out a CNN news report on the system below.
