Singer Ciara was spotted out shopping at Mac Cosmetics on Robertson Blvd in Los Angeles Tuesday afternoon (Sep 22).

Remember that big “Do Something” school supply drive Ciara was a part of back in early August? Along with her efforts, Staples Inc. and DoSomething.org raised over $750,000 in cash donations and school supplies, including notebooks, calculators and other important school items. That’s definitely a good look!

Singer Ciara was spotted by the paps as she made her way to the Chanel Boutique in New York City Thursday afternoon (Sep 3) to do some shopping. Boy are we glad she decided to get rid of that short wig. That look just didn’t do her justice.

Kim Kardashian and Ciara share a laugh as they enjoy their freshly made milkshakes at Millions of Milkshakes in Los Angeles. Kim, Ciara and Miley Cyrus paid a visit to the popular Hollywood milkshake bar Saturday afternoon where they posed for pics and made milkshakes (Aug 29).

R&B/pop singer Ciara literally showed her azz Wednesday (Aug 26) as she hopped into her Jeep after leaving D.O.G. pet boutique in West Hollywood after doing some shopping for her dog.

Nice cheeks, CiCi! More pics below…

It looks like Ciara has ditched her short wig and is going back to rocking the long hair. Paps spotted her and her dog out in Los Angeles Thursday afternoon (Aug 20) doing some shopping at Intermix in West Hollywood. We’re glad to see the old “CiCi” is back! We were on the fence about that wig. Sometimes, she killed it. Other times? Not so much. It just didn’t work out too well for her, so we’re glad she realized that.

It was recently announced that the R&B/pop singer had been replaced by Jordin Sparks as the opening act for Britney Spears’ tour. Her people put out a short statement recently confirming the news, but they’re still not saying why she was replaced:

Ciara is no longer on the Britney Spears tour. She may perform on a couple spot dates, but nothing has been announced at this time.

Platinum-selling 19 Recordings/Jive Records artist Jordin Sparks will join “The Circus Starring Britney Spears” as special guest on the second North American leg of the tour. Sparks will perform on the U.S. portion of the trek including dates in New York City, Los Angeles, Boston, Philadelphia, Miami, Detroit, Chicago and more before concluding on September 26 & 27 at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, NV. Previously announced opening act Kristinia DeBarge will join the tour for all dates; while up-and-coming acts Girlicious and One Call will appear in select cities.

No word on exactly why Ciara was axed but Jordin says that she’s happy to be a part of the big tour.

“Britney’s show is incredible and for me to be a part of it is a great opportunity,” said Sparks.

Peep the official dates below!

The film reportedly opened in the number one spot this weekend raking in over $56 million, despite movie-goers not being able to hear how the movie was via film critics. Paramount, the movie’s distribution company, didn’t allow critics to screen the movie before its release.

Actress Holly Robinson Peete and her husband, former NFL football player Rodney Peete, hosted the HollyRod Foundation’s 11th Annual DesignCare Fundraiser at a private residence Saturday (Jul 25) in Beverly Hills, CA. Holly recently spoke out about the treatment of autism, calling it “expensive.” She and Rodney have a son with the disorder and have been trying to raise funds for his treatment through their HollyRod Foundation.

“We started the HollyRod Foundation years ago to help people with Parkinson’s disease – my dad had Parkinson’s and then about five years into the foundation, my son was diagnosed with autism… Much like Parkinson’s, autism is very expensive to treat so we started raising money for the quality of life for people suffering from both because of our personal experiences,” she revealed at the 11th annual DesignCare event in Hollywood.

“You can’t even know how expensive it is to treat a child with autism, especially families who don’t have insurance – it’s next to impossible. It destroys families.”
Holly added: “We raise money through these fundraisers and we beg people to use their gorgeous homes, we beg all of our friends to get dressed up and play with us.”

Other celebrities who showed up to support the cause were Ciara, Sanaa Lathan, Gabrielle Union and more. Continue reading for all of the pics!

Wanna know the REAL reason why Ciara left Atlanta and moved to Los Angeles? There aren’t any paparazzi in the A. Plain and simple. Here she can be seen wearing a crop shirt leaving Rock & Republic after doing some shopping on Robertson Blvd. in LA Friday afternoon (Jul 24).

Continue reading for a video of the paparazzi swarming her whip and being hella rude as she tried to leave. One of them was yelling: “Ciara! Are you acting like a boy today?” in reference to her new haircut and her old song, “Like A Boy.” Funny sh*t, but still rude nonetheless…

Singer Ciara took her now-famous (and equally expensive) blue Lamborghini out for a spin Tuesday (Jul 21) in Los Angeles. Here she can be seen rocking her new haircut and engaging in some retail therapy at Intermix on Robertson Boulevard in West Hollywood. We’re not so sure if we’re feeling CiCi’s new look. It makes her look a lot older than what she really is…

PHOTOS: WENN

It looks as though Ciara has jumped on the “short haircut bandwagon” and decided to chop her locks off. Or stuff her locks into a wig. It’s hard to tell these days! Anyway, the R&B/pop singer debuted her new look, which she accredited to stylist Kiyah Wright, via her Twitter page over the weekend and posted these HQ shots, which were shot by celebrity photographer Derek Blanks. Continue reading to check out a couple more pics. We actually think Ciara’s new cut looks great on her, but what do you think?

Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.

Inclement weather in Atlanta Sunday night (Jul 12) forced Jay-Z and Ciara to cancel their concert last night at Chastain Park Amphiteater. The thunder and rain wasn’t the problem, we hear. It was the lightening! And the seats at Chastain Park are made of metal, so yeah … that would NOT have been a good look.

Our friend FreddyO was able to catch up with Ciara and take a few pictures though:

Ciara told me how she was just getting over the flu when Jay-Z walked in (he had just got off a private jet). I have to say that he was so cool and laid back, I would have gotten pictures but I didn’t have my camera at the time. Jay tried to speak to everyone that was in the room. CiCi was the opening act and Jay Z was going to be joined by Memphis Bleek and Free Way. The concert does not have a new date as of now in Atlanta because Jay-Z was supposed to come back in the fall when his album drops.

R&B/pop singer Ciara opened for Jay-Z Friday night (Jul 3) at the Pearl at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, NV. The Atlanta native is the supporting act for the New York rapper’s short tour, which also includes dates in Chicago (7/7), Uncasville, CT (7/10) and Atlanta (7/12). We posted pics of Jay-Z over the weekend performing for the tour solo in Phoenix, AZ. Click here for the pics if you missed them.

Right after the show, Ciara hosted an exclusive after party at Jet Nightclub at The Mirage Hotel and Casino. Continue reading for more pics of her performing and for pics from the afterparty!

Ciara was on fire (physically … not vocally) Saturday night when she performed “Love, Sex, Magic” on NBC’s hit sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live. Justin Timberlake joined the her on stage and stayed in the background playing the keyboard singing along to the song. His girlfriend Jessica Biel was in the house so there was no way in hell they were re-enacting the video’s original … “choreography” haha.

CiCi’s vocal performance was subpar, but we don’t really expect her to do that great in that department. As long as she keeps her moves fresh and keeps shaking that ass, it’s all good! She also performed her ballad single “Never Ever” for the SNL viewing audience.

People are talking about the similarities between Beyonce’s choreography and your choreography. I know what you were going for…
Right, I got inspired by the Vegas show, but go ahead. What do you want to know?

How do you even address that? Have you seen the screen grabs?
I don’t think there’s really anything to address. I think it’s very, very funny. And you know what my response is to that? For the ones that have something negative to say? They must have really enjoyed it that much to go and nitpick it, because it’s something they pulled up and was like, “Yo!” There were a couple of things in there that I’ve never seen. I think that it’s important for us as artists to be original and to create something new, so it would be really silly of me to go and create something you’ve already seen. So not one time were any of my references another artist. My references were clearly inspired from shows that I’ve actually seen. It goes to show how creative we can be and how close the worlds are. I did my first video with my metal outfit. I was inspired by Thierry Mugler. Now, from my understanding, Beyonce is using Thierry Mugler for her tour. It just is what it is. It’s very petty to me. When people nitpick something and they say negative things, my response to that is they really must have liked it that much. They just said, “This just can’t be! We gotta find something!” That’s also the definition of a person having too much time on their hands to do nothing. That’s how I look at that.
