EVERY WEEKDAY MORNING, DailyEdge.ie rounds up the best of the day’s celebrity dirt from the top to the very bottom.

Nicki Minaj has denied that she ever threw shade at Kanye West and Kim Kardashian in an interview this week with Marie Claire. 

In the original interview, out today, she said:

I’m so tired of black women feeling that when our men get rich, they’re going to leave them for a woman of a different race. It wasn’t funny when Kanye said, ‘When he get on, he’ll leave your ass for a white girl’—and Kanye happens to be with a white girl now.

A bit of controversy blew up over the weekend based on the comments, as it looked like Nicki was having a go at the Wests

But last night she clarified what she meant

As you were. (Pitchfork)

Graham Norton was in Dublin last night for a special talk about his new novel Holding. 

And he had nothing but praise for The Late Late Show.

As The Irish Independent reports, Graham addressed the fact that RTÉ’s flagship show often gets unfairly compared to his own programme on BBC One:

You cannot compare. They are not like for like. We’re in London so these people are in town. I think The Late Late Show punches well above its weight.

So now – it’s all down to proximity lads.

No more griping on Friday nights – we’ll just flick between the two as usual. (Irish Independent)

Geordie Shore man and Celebrity Big Brother winner Scotty T has some choice words about his ex Megan McKenna. 

The pair were together in the CBB house but it was a brief romance.

Megan recently “caught her boyfriend Pete Wicks sexting an ex”, and Scotty’s summary of the situation was rough:

He shouldn’t have been sending pictures of his chopper to his ex bird. No good that, if you’re going to do that don’t get caught.

Saying that Megan is ruthless like. She’s an absolute f***ing ratchet c**t, I wouldn’t get on the wrong side of her man. Liberty.

Ah now.

Scotty is currently in rehearsals for a panto Snow White And The Seven Dwarves in Leeds. This’ll get them in the door, no doubt ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (Mirror)
