STR8 TALK: IS CIARA NEXT UP AS A BASKETBALL WIFE?!

LexAve — Tue, 17 May 2011 15:44:52 +0000

Ciara’s career maybe on a slippery slope but her love life is on the rise and heating up. According to NY Post’s Page Six, Ciara and Amar’e Stoudemire are hardcore boo loving.

The relationship between Amar’e Stoudemire and Ciara is so close, the singer joined her Knicks boyfriend on his night out with the boys in Miami this weekend. Stoudemire partied with 15 male friends at Prime One Twelve in South Beach. But when the group went to party at club Cameo, Ciara met up with her basketball beau, who danced alongside her all night. Sources said that while Stoudemire kept his focus on his lady, security guards had to shoo away female admirers who tried in vain to get his attention.

Sounds like the pair are doing well and happily love. So can we expect wedding bells to come? Will Ciara be NBA’s next celebrity wife? And if so, is she prepared to handle the life as an NBA wife? Or could this all just be a publicity stunt to keep Ciara relevant and in the gossip columns? I mean her music career is weak…not to mention she’s been hanging around LaLa & Kim Kardashian hardbody. Could it be she’s just looking for some shine and dating Amar’e Stoudmire is just the next best thing?! All speculation…not enough facts.

Her album Basic Instinct keeps getting pushed back but that’s not stopping this Georgia peach from putting out new videos…here’s newest for “Gimmie Dat”. It’s always great to see Ciara get down but something about this video reminds me of Beyonce’s “Diva” video. Right?!

STR8 SNITCHIN’: CIARA’S NEW ALBUM WILL NEVER DROP!

LexAve — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 16:04:22 +0000

How many times can an artist’s album get pushed back?! I dunno, but so far I think its fair to say Ciara’s Basic Instinct takes the cake. Yet again, Basic Instinct gets pushed back from August to September to November and now it’s to be released on December 14th. What year?! How much you want to bet Ciara’s Basic Instinct will never see the light of day?! I got five on it…LET’S GO!

Seriously Ciara and label…what’s the hold up! Poor Cici just can’t win!

STR8 SNITCHIN’: 50 CENT TRADES IN CIARA FOR A BECKY?!

J'More — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 20:54:28 +0000

Looks like 50 Cent has dropped Ciara for a white chick! Guess 50 didn’t really like the way Ciara “rides the beat”. Ha! Anywhoo, according to TMZ, the Queens rapper and comedian Chelsea Handler were spotted at a bar in New Orleans Sunday night and “were getting very hot and heavy with each other”. Word is 50 has been feeling Chelsea for quite some time now and has been pursuing her for months. WOW! Apparently, 50 once left the late night TV host a voicemail message after appearing on her show and even sent her flowers.

Here’s a pic of the newly rumored couple getting cozy at some club…is that a business meeting or just a lil’ too close for comfort. Ciara, come get ya gurl, Chelsea!

But is this really news…ya already know how Chelsea loves her some rappers…

KERI HILSON WANTS TO BEAT CIARA’S A$$?!

J'More — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 20:37:22 +0000

Seems like Ciara and Keri Hilson are really going to be throwing blows! The Georgia peaches are dropping their albums on the same exact day. Yep, Ciara’s long awaited Basic Instinct and Keri’s No Boys Allowed albums are set to drop November 30th. So, who do you think is going to come out on top? I’m putting all my money on Keri, I’m pretty sure she’s going to whoop Ciara’s Hollywood ass! Anwyhoo, in an interview with the Boombox, Ciara finally addressed the rumors of an alleged beef with Miss Keri Baaaby. She says,

“In reference to the Keri situation, I’m so in a different space mentally I can’t even bring myself to do that. It’s not [important] to me. There’s just so much stuff to get out of life than that. There’s so much more for me to accomplish in my career. Personally, I’ve decided that it doesn’t make sense to do that.”

So, is CiCi saying that Keri isn’t even worth her time? Sure sounds like it!

I’m convinced Ciara lied in that interview ’cause who was she talking to in “Basic Instinct (U Got Me)” when she said,

“See I was out buying Chanel bags/While I was doing that you turned up your swag, u got me/Yup, call me slippin forget your hustle on, shottie I ain’t trippin/I been in the game since ’03/You can try but you still can do it like me”

My point exactly!

And while we wait for these southern gals to get it poppin’…check out the cover to Keri Hilson’s new single “Pretty Girl Rock” set to drop next week.

NEW VIDEO: CIARA- “SPEECHLESS”

LexAve — Wed, 29 Sep 2010 18:05:06 +0000

Here’s Ciara’s video for 3rd single off her pushed back album Basic Instinct. Ciara maybe singing about some dude leaving her speechless…but does this song/video leave you speechless? Ummm…NEXT! Shorty really needs to stick what works and that’s high energy dancing up tempo joints.

STR8 BEEF: CIARA & KERI HILSON CATFIGHT?!

LexAve — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 15:44:25 +0000

Ciara and Keri Hilson are not letting this one die. The RnB divas continue to take subtle jabs at each other via song lyrics and now apparently the RnB chicks had a full blown fight backstage at Power 105.1 concert this past weekend…’causing Keri Hilson to walk out the concert and not perform. Word is the ladies exchanged some major insults backstage and a fuming Keri stormed off. According to NYDailyNews,

Insiders initially told us that the two R&B/hip-hop artists, who’ve had a long-brewing feud through their songs, had a verbal catfight backstage that kept Hilson from performing.

The sources, however, suddenly changed their stories after the singers’ publicists got involved. The reps’ stories, which are both slightly different, contend that Hilson was not even at the event.

Both women were supposed to perform at the show. A schedule sent to us by the publicity firm handling the event indicates that Hilson was supposed to go on from 8:55 to 9:15 p.m. Ciara was slotted for the more prestigious 10:05 to 10:35.

Seriously, why are these chicks beefing in the first place?! Let me guess…they fighting it out for the queen of ATL or some dumb mess like that. C’mon these RnB divas need to let it go. Ciara needs to channel that energy in her moves and putting out some smash records…’cause Keri Hilson is major competition.

CIARA’S “BASIC INSTINCT” ALBUM COVER + “GIMME THAT”

LexAve — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 03:11:40 +0000

Earlier today Ciara unveiled the cover to her new album Basic Instinct dropping August 17th. Ci-Ci looks gorgeous on the cover in this close-up giving us the one-eyed stare…but realtalk I was expecting a bit more. This looks more like a single cover than actual album cover. Here’s to hoping the music will be hotter than this cover.

While we wait for album to ~~leak~~ drop, check out whats rumored to be her next single “Gimme That”.
