Ciara dropped some promo pics via her Twitter a few days ago and the net was ablaze with chatter of her new doo.? The photos are lovely (as usual) and were taken by celebrity photographer Derek Blanks. In these new flix, CiCi decided to take her look into a totally different direction with a new short, sleek, darker style. I like it but I’m almost positive this change isn’t permanent.? Word is….it’s a wig. So don’t fret, CiCi will be rocking her long lacefront again shortly.
CiCi: “Shhhhh….don’t spill the beans on my wig!”
Ciara also dropped a short little dance video for her fans where she shows you all how to? ‘JERK’ to her new single ‘Work” featuring Missy Elliott. The video also features dancers from her new company UDT (Universal Dance & Talent). Check it out below:
There were a ton of? concert goers sitting around in a thunderstorm last night in Atlanta waiting to see Jay-Z, Ciara and Fabolous. Unfortunately, the storm caused a delay in Jay-Z’s arrival, which in turn prompted concert officials to cancel the show. If you’ve been in Atlanta for a while, I’m sure you’ve been witness to many a rainstorm during concerts at Chastain. Well, normally the open-air venue has a “no-raincheck” policy, but since it was their decision to cancel, refunds will be issued and I’ve heard that the concert has been rescheduled for August 13th.
Yes, I was one of the people bitching last night, particularly about the choice of venue. Now…don’t get me wrong, Chastain has always been a friend of mine and I’ve had many a romantic concert experience, but umm…Jay-Z by candlelight was not a well thought out move in my opinion.? Also, there are noise ordinances in place since Chastain is smack dabb in the center of a residential area. Concerts have to end by 11pm and officials have made no qualms about shutting the sound system off at 10:59.
With all that being said, I would hope that the rescheduled date includes a new venue (although it’s highly doubtful).
Check out what Jay-Z had to say about it all when he called into DJ Drama moments after the melee. Audio and a few photos of Ciara backstage under the cut:

Ciara and Rick Ross share a dual cover the Summer 09 issue of Rap Up Magazine. Speaking of Ciara, MTV caught up with her, Singer Tyrese, former Danity Kane member Aubrey O’Day and a few others after the L.A. premiere of ‘Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen’ last night to gather their reaction on the Chris Brown’s plea deal:
“I support both artists,” said Ciara, who has toured and recorded with both Brown and Rihanna. “It’s a very personal process.”
