Ciara: French Vogue

Ciara has been relatively quiet over the past few months but it looks like she may have something big cooking up her sleeve in the New Year.   She’s showing off her dancer’s body in an upcoming issue of French Vogue.  Inside, there’s confirmation that she is no longer with Jive and she has signed a new contract with Epic Records under the leadership of LA Reid.

In the meantime, she’s scheduled to wrap up the year with performances in Dubai and Amsterdam (on the 29th & 30th) and she’s  currently in the studio working on her fifth studio album.  Go Ci!

Ciara and Rihanna: Twitterbeef?? (O_O)

Last night Ciara stopped by E!’s Fashion Police with Joan Rivers to give her input on the latest red carpet hit and misses.  During the segment, Rihanna’s Christian Dior Couture that she wore to the BRIT’s flashed across the screen and the other hosts shared their thoughts. When it came time for Ciara to critique the dress, she instead shared with Joan that the last time she ran into Rihanna, it rubbed her the wrong way.  “I ran into her recently at a party and she wasn’t the nicest. I’ve always loved and respected what she’s done in fashion and it’s crazy because I’ve run into her before but this time wasn’t the most pleasant run in”. Joan Rivers blatantly responded, “a b*tch! next”

Who Looks Better??

Ciara managed to turn heads this weekend when she stepped out in a cut out dress by Mark Fast at Jay-Z  Lebron James “Two Kings” dinner. The same night, across town, Natalie Nunn hit up an All Star event wearing a similar, budget friendly version of the dress.
