The stars came out in full force to celebrate Lil Wayne's Tha Carter VI album release party at Boulevard3 in Los Angeles Sunday night.

Dropped at midnight, just hours after the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards ended, Lil Wayne finally got to celebrate his much-delayed record with a huge soiree full of his friends, collaborators and biggest supporters.

Tons of pals like Drake, Keri Hilson, Ciara, Jessie J and Flo Rida showed up, but it was definitely Nicki Minaj who stole the show.

The "Super Bass" singer thanked Lil Wayne during her Best Hip Hop Video award acceptance speech, calling him "the best rapper alive," so it was no surprise that she came out for his party in full force. She traded her Harajuku-like MTV outfit for a more demure (for her) neon pink skintight dress, cartoon leggings, and wristfuls of bold chunky bangles.

It wouldn't be a party if Nicki didn't show up and take over with an eye-catching (and head-scratching) garb. See what the rest of the stars looked like in the video below.

Lil Wayne wears a wife beater like no one else! The sexy rapper strolled along the beach in Miami with his new ladylove.

The Young Money CEO, who recently performed his new song "I'm Single" on MTV Unplugged, told the crowd:

"If you’re single LIKE ME put your f**king hands in the air."

Single? Holding hands with this brunette honey is certainly sending out mixed signals. See more of Weezy and his woman ... after the jump.

Paris Hilton chatted with Lil Wayne for Interview Magazine, where the famous pair talked about fame, family and a possible collaboration on Paris' next album.

"Well, if you would be on the album, then I would be honored," Paris said when the subject came up during the interview. "That would be the sickest thing. We should get each other’s phone numbers so we can call each other after the interview or text or something." "Cool," Wayne responded. "Sounds good."

So can we expect the follow up to Princess P's hit 2006 album anytime soon?

"I’ve been working on it for so long…" Paris said, but with her numerous business deals, not to mention her new reality show, we may have to wait a bit longer!

Paris and Weezy also shared stories about their time spent behind bars. Read what they had to say ... after the jump.

Rapper Lil Wayne aka Dwayne Carter has been released from Rikers Island jail in New York after serving only eight months of his one-year sentence.

Carter's time in jail stemmed from 2007, when he was arrested for criminal possession of a weapon following a performance at the Beacon Theater in Manhattan.

This charge could have resulted in 15 years behind bars, but in exchange for a guilty plea, his time behind bars was greatly reduced. Wayne says although the gun was found on his tour bus during that incident, it was registered to his manager and was in a bag near the rapper.

Remember all that root canal drama that kept postponing his sentence? Let's hope he kept up his dental hygiene while in the slammer.

Aww, who knew Lil Wayne loved Lindsay Lohan?

The rapper - currently serving a year in prison on weapons charges - has a website created by his friends entitled Weezy Thanx You, which publishes letters Wayne writes in prison.

Guess who got a shout out in today's entry? LiLo!

Wayne wrote: "Hey Lindsey, glad it’s over doll. I should have written her huh?"

Okay, apparently he spelled her name with an "e" instead of an "a," but still! It's the thought that counts.

No fire, no root canals....no more excuses!

After three court delays, Lil' Wayne aka Dwayne Carter is finally heading to jail for one year. The rapper was sentenced this morning in New York for a gun conviction.

This all stems from 2007, when he was arrested for criminal possession of a weapon following a performance at the Beacon Theater in Manhattan. This charge could have resulted in 15 years behind bars, but in exchange for a guilty plea, his time in the slammer will be next to nothing. Wayne says although the gun was found on his tour bus during that incident, it was registered to his manager and was in a bag near the rapper.

Get this...even though his eight root canals have already been taken care of, Wayne did ask for special medical attention for his dental issues while he serves his time. The boys got to keep his grill in check!

Weezy won't be out of the courtroom for long. On March 30, he'll appear before the judge again for felony drug possession and weapons charges stemming from an incident in Yuma County, Arizona.

Lil' Wayne aka Dwayne Carter must have as many lucky stars as he does new root canals! His sentencing has been delayed...again.

All the court drama doesn't seem to be affecting the rapper though - during Jay-Z's sold out Madison Square Garden concert last night, Wayne shocked the crowd by going onstage with Young Jeezy to perform the song I'm Goin In. Talk about rubbing it in the court's face!

As we previously reported, Wayne's initial court appearance was delayed due to emergency dental surgery. And yesterday, his scheduled court date was postponed yet again because of a courthouse fire. The fire damage was apparently so severe that the courts decided to postpone the hearing until Monday.

So what's the deal with this fire? The New York City Fire Department says that the cause was faulty electrical wiring.

If the 27-year-old actually appears before the judge on Monday, barring a hurricane or a tornado, he is expected to begin his 1-year sentence for a gun charge.

Oh, Weezy...enjoy that freedom while it lasts!

Lil' Wayne's freedom is coming to an end. Fo sheezy!

The rapper, whose real name is Dwayne Carter, will finally appear before the judge in New York today to plead guilty to attempted gun possession. After the plea, he's expected to turn himself in to begin his 1-year jail sentence.

It was just last month when the Cash Money mega-star's lawyer delayed the rapper's court date due to dental surgery. We thought that grill of his was indestructible! But eight root canals later...guess not.

This all stems from 2007, when he was arrested for criminal possession of a weapon following a performance at the Beacon Theater in Manhattan. This charge could have resulted in 15 years behind bars. But in exchange for a guilty plea, his time in the slammer will be next to nothing. Wayne says although the gun was found on his tour bus during that incident, it was registered to his manager and was in a bag near the rapper.

Since then, there have been several more arrests for gun possession and felony possession of drugs in Idaho and Arizona. Lil Wayne's Arizona trial is scheduled to begin March 30.

As for how the rapper will be treated in jail, a New York corrections officer told MTV News:

"He'll be housed with inmates who are classified in his category, and he'll be able to be a regular inmate. He'll be able to watch television, go into the day room and congregate with people of his classification. He'll have no preferable treatment at all. He'll be treated like a regular inmate."

But will he get extra time to brush and floss? That's what we want to know!
