Yesterday, singing sensation Jordin Sparks and her mom, Jodi Sparks pledged not to text and drive by leaving their thumbprints on a pledge banner making its way around the country this holiday season. Jordin and her mom have teamed up with Allstate Insurance Company’s “X the TXT: Thumbs Up to the Safest Holiday Ever”, a 30 city tour in which teens and their families will be asked to add their thumbprint to the banner as a public pledge not to text and drive.

“Unfortunately, it can be easy to forget the dangers of texting and driving when you get behind the wheel. That’s why it is important for teens, their friends and families to acknowledge its risks and pledge together not to do it. I’m glad to take this public pledge with Allstate, because sending a text isn’t worth taking a life, said Jordin.”

The tour will also include live pledge events in each tour city throughout the holiday season and a “Top the Tally” competition to see which city can gather the most thumb pledges. You can also get involved by joining a Facebook cause page and taking a virtual pledge not to text and drive. For every Facebook “Thumbs Up” pledge supporter, Allstate will donate $1 to the National Organizations for Youth Safety (NOYS). For more information on how you can get involved visit www. Facebook.com/thumbsuppledge.

And remember DON’T TEXT & DRIVE!

JORDIN SPARKS REPLACES CIARA ON BRITNEY SPEARS TOUR…REALLY?! http://str8nyc.com/2009/08/19/jordin-sparks-replaces-ciara-on-britney-spears-tourreally/ http://str8nyc.com/2009/08/19/jordin-sparks-replaces-ciara-on-britney-spears-tourreally/#comments Wed, 19 Aug 2009 03:28:02 +0000 LexAve http://str8nyc.com/?p=23131 JORDIN SPARKS REPLACES CIARA ON BRITNEY SPEARS TOUR…REALLY?!

According to Rap-Up, Ciara has been officially been replaced by Jordin Sparks on Britney Spears “Circus” North American tour.

In a press release on Spears’ official website, Jordin Sparks was announced as the new opening act. The release goes on to include previously announced opener Kristinia DeBarge, who will perform on all dates, while up-and-comers Girlicious and One Call will appear in select cities. Ciara is not mentioned.
“Britney’s show is incredible and for me to be a part of it is a great opportunity,” Sparks said in a statement.

Ciara’s rep has since confirmed the replacement and suggests Ciara may perform on a couple spot dates, but nothing has been announced at this time.

WOW! Poor Ciara is on her last leg and catch a break. With flopped record sales, Ciara needs all the publicity she can get. Wait a minute didn’t Jordin Sparks album flopped too. Jive what’s going on here?! Too bad for all those fans that bought tix to see CiCi open for Britney, catch her on her next tour…if it ever happens.

Something tells me this had something to do with Ciara’s fugly wig!
