By Mr. Hollywood

Late in 2009, 50 Cent explained why he did not have a girlfriend. 50 Cent said he was too rich to date and did not trust anyone. Early in 2010, E! personality, Chelsea Handler said 50 Cent came on to her and she turned him down.

While she had turned 50 Cent down, Handler said she was very much single at the time. Offering herself to 50 Cent, the conversation died down. In the coming months, several rumors started about the possible couple.

Everyone had something to say about the relationship, including Diddy. However, late in 2010, the rumors began to take their toll. Both 50 and Chelsea were tired of the rumors. Chelsea Handler said she was tired of 50 Cent sending her expensive gifts when she could easily afford her own and this was her final straw with him.

However, earlier this year, Chelsea Handler admitted she and 50 Cent did date. She said their relationship was nothing serious, however. Ciara even stated the reason she and 50 Cent split up was because Chelsea Handler came between them. 50 Cent said the reason he was with Handler was because of her down-to-earth attitude. Chelsea Handler informed the people 50 Cent is nothing like how he acts in front of the camera.

Recently, Chelsea Hander said her relationship with 50 Cent was nothing more than sex. The couple were nothing more than friends with benefits. Chelsea Handler said the sex with 50 Cent was fun, but there were no emotions tied to it.

JR Staff Writer

Early in her career, Ciara made hits under the guidance of Missy Elliott. Her first two albums were major commercial and critical successes. However, when she released her third album, Jive Records was not very supportive of the release. Still, her album managed to sell well and she posted a top ten hit.

Throughout most of 2010, Ciara stayed in the public eye through her rivalry with Keri Hilson. Still, she was having issues with her label when it came to the promotion of her album. Basic Instinct has yet to sell 40,000 copies. Due to the low sales of the album, Ciara fought to get off Jive Records.

Having been off the label for months, Ciara announced she would be working with Keri Hilson. Two songs will be recorded and released, one for each of their respective albums. Now, there are several reports saying Ciara has signed with Epic Records, now led by L.A. Reid. In addition to his role on the new series, "The X Factor," Reid is the head of Epic Records.

Late last year, L.A. Reid left his position with Island Def Jam. At the time, it seemed as if he left for the role on "The X Factor." Despite taking the TV role, Reid said he may still launch a record label, which he did. Then, after launching the record label, L.A. Reid took the head job at Epic Records.

Before admitting to dating each other, Ciara was in a deep flirtation with 50 Cent. A source close to Ciara revealed she was weary about going father with 50 Cent. Right when she was ready to open up to the mogul, he began his flirtation with Chelsea Handler, chasing her away.

On the other hand, Amare Stoudemire was close to getting into a relationship with Amber Rose. Following her split from Kanye West, she has been with many different men. Among the men she was seeing was NBA baller, Amare Stoudemire. Stoudemire said he would like to go farther with her, but she would have to open up.

With trust being an issue with both of them, Amare Stoudemire and Ciara made the perfect couple. Last week, the two finally admitted they were dating each other. Following the announcement, the couple began making public appearances with each other. As Ciara was finally opening up to the New York Knick, he was sending texts to other women and cheating on her.

Reportedly, Stoudemire is known for sending pictures of his private parts to women he has sexual relations with. Despite having "settled down" with Ciara, he was still sending these pics out. However, he found himself in a jam when Ciara went through his phone and found pictures he had sent to women as recent as last month.

Ciara confirms relationship with Amare Stoudemire

By Mr. Hollywood
JR Staff Writer

More than likely, Amare Stoudemire wishes his first season with the New York Knicks could have turned out better. With many expecting the team to compete for an NBA title, they were bounced in the first round by the Boston Celtics. The team is filled with superstars, but failed to win one playoff game.

Amare Stoudemire may not have won on the court, but he has been racking up wins off the court. The All-Star player has been spending time with Ciara for months. There have been many rumors about the two dating. While both have been out of the spotlight for a little while, they confirmed their relationship.

Ciara has been involved with 50 Cent, on and off, since 2007, but a public Twitter spat has left them estranged. In the time since their argument, Ciara has spent time with Stoudemire. Recently, she stopped beating around the bush and admitted she was Amare Stoudemire's girlfriend. Ciara says she is very shy about the relationship.

For Ciara, this is her first serious relationship since she dated Bow Wow from 2004 until 2006. Their split was very public, prompting Bow Wow to make a song, "Outta My System," about how he felt about the two breaking up.

50 Cent says Ciara is Just a Friend

By Mr. Hollywood
JR Staff Writer

Four years ago, rumors began to circulate about 50 Cent dating rising star, Ciara. Fresh out of a relationship with Bow Wow, rumors had Ciara paired with the older 50 Cent, or the much-older R. Kelly. Meanwhile, 50 Cent had just ended his high-profile relationship with Vivica A. Fox.

50 Cent and Ciara often made public appearances together, but denied having a relationship. In 2007, 50 Cent attempted to feud with Lil Wayne. At the time, Wayne wanted a collaboration with Ciara for Tha Carter III. 50 Cent reportedly forbade her from working with Lil Wayne.

While Ciara did not end up on the album, the "relationship" between 50 Cent and Ciara ended. The two stopped making public appearances and went their separate ways. Late in 2009, 50 Cent said he did not have a girlfriend because he did not trust women. Because he is so rich, 50 felt all women were scheming for his riches.

E! personality, Chelsea Handler said his comments were fueled because she turned him down. Following an appearance on her show, 50 Cent asked Handler out. Because she already had a boyfriend, she turned him down. However, when Handler replied to 50 Cent's statement, she said she was single and willing to begin dating 50 Cent. For nearly a year, the two engaged in a rumored relationship until Handler revealed how clingy 50 was back in January.

Sources close to Ciara say she was close to getting with 50 Cent, but the Chelsea Handler rumors kept them from getting together. Earlier this year, 50 Cent and Ciara had a very public argument on Twitter, which led to 50 saying he would not engage Ciara in a feud. The two have not had anything to say to or about each other in the time since then. Recently, 50 Cent broke this trend and said he and Ciara are only friends and they have not been anything more than friends.

Ever since the public got to know Keri Hilson, two years ago, she has been considered one of the sexiest women in the game. Immediately, she was compared to Ciara and Beyonce and on many levels.

While Keri Hilson has the nice body, she has been relatively conservative in using it. Recently, Hilson loosened up for the photo on the left. The picture is a part of Allure magazine's nude issue. While she bares all, Keri Hilson opens up about her climb from a songwriter to a star.

Before Keri Hilson became the most popular female R&B singer, she was writing hits for Ciara and other stars, such as Britney Spears. Despite making good money for creating these hits, Keri Hilson wanted to try her hand at being a star. Following the same path of Ne-Yo, Keri Hilson decided to begin her solo career and signed with Polow da Don's Zone 4 label. However, her album suffered from two years of delays before officially being released to the public, solidifying her as a star.

By The Music Scoop
JR Staff Writer

Ciara has been suffering from low record sales and she is ready to leave Jive Records. Last spring, Jive Records had a major hit from another female R&B act, Ester Dean. Her Chris Brown-assisted single, "Drop it Low," became a minor hit. Ester Dean's career is noted because of this single, while Ciara wants off Jive.

Basking in the success of her single, Ester Dean took some time to reflect on her big moment. She admitted her hit, "Drop it Low," was originally intended for Ciara. Struggling for hits, Ciara might have fared better had she used the song. Ester Dean spent the majority of her career making hits for other artists.

However, when "Drop it Low" became available, Ester Dean wanted the song for herself. While the song was intended for Ciara, other artists on Jive Records wanted the song. Long before Ester Dean, or even Ciara, Britney Spears was posting hits for Jive Records. When she heard the song she wanted to use it for her upcoming album.

Everyone involved knew "Drop it Low" was going to become a hit, but each of the ladies wanted this song for themselves. In the end, the song was used to build Ester Dean's career, which is still rising.

50 Cent and Ciara have a Sextape?

By Mr. Hollywood
JR Staff Writer

In 2007, rumors circulated about 50 Cent dating Ciara, at the time fresh out of a relationship with Bow Wow. The rumors intensified when a video came out for Ciara's "Can't Leave 'Em Alone." In the video, 50 Cent played Ciara's love interest and the two were very close in the video.

During the summer of 2007, 50 Cent would release Curtis, his third studio album. The packaging of the album featured a semi-nude woman. Most media outlets suggested this was Ciara posing half-naked. But, 50 Cent repeatedly denied it was Ciara posing in the packaging.

The rumored relationship between 50 Cent and Ciara ended when 50 reportedly banned Ciara from working with Lil Wayne in 2008. In the time since then, Ciara has been linked with Amare Stoudemire of the New York Knicks. 50 Cent, on the other hand, was rumored to be involved with Chelsea Handler.

Regardless of what they had, 50 Cent and Ciara ended things on horrible terms. Earlier this year, the two had an ugly spat on Twitter. Sources close to Ciara denied she ever dated 50 Cent, but she considered it until the Chelsea Handler rumors began. Now, rumors are suggesting 50 Cent and Ciara were indeed an item and they have a sextape to back things up. If the rumors are true, 50 Cent and Ciara join a long list of celebrities with their pants caught on the ground on tape.

Months of speculation are finally over and Kim Kardashian has finally offered something to the music industry. Late last year, there were rumors of Kim Kardashian recording an album. Ciara soon said she would support Kim all of the way with her album. There were also rumors of Kanye West being involved.

On the other hand, things have been going great for Rihanna, as her latest album topped charts. Recently, she has been under fire for lying to Donald Trump over a scheduled performance.

Rarely have Rihanna and Ciara had the opportunity to be around each other. Despite making the same type of music, they have never collaborated. But, when they were actually around each other, as photographed to the left, they appeared to be good friends. It is now obvious that picture is in the past.

Ever since 2009, all of the celebrities have created accounts on the social networking site, Twitter. Many rappers have used the sites to insult their rivals. But, in recent months, many others have also used the site to attack the characters of their rivals. Ciara was involved in a Twitter beef with her former "boyfriend," 50 Cent, last month.

JR Staff Writer

Following the low sales of Basic Instinct, Ciara has been the topic of discussion by many. Keri Hilson publicly insulted her low sales and many websites have also had much to post. Before long, there were rumors of Ciara being dropped from Jive Records. It was soon said that Ciara was working to leave the label.

But, making things clear, Ciara said she was the one who wanted to leave Jive Records. At the time, they had no interest in dropping her. But, after lackluster promotion for two of her albums, consecutively, Ciara wants off. She said they can either properly promote her, or come up with a severance package.

There have been many back and forth rumors about where Ciara would end up. With all of the discussion, there has been more and more speculation and less and less Ciara. When rumors start, they take on lives of their own and are often blown out of proportion. This has been the case with Ciara's high-profile "feud" with Keri Hilson and her "relationship" with 50 Cent.

Ciara has decided to speak out before the story becomes distorted again. There were rumors of a letter written by Ciara and addressed to Jive Records. When the letter was released, many questioned if it were authentic or not. Ending all of the speculation, Ciara confirmed the letter was, indeed, written by her. She said the letter came from her heart, truly telling how she felt about Jive Records. Ciara wanted to talk to her fans and let them know where she is in life.

Ciara wants off Jive Records

By The Music Scoop
JR Staff Writer

Early in her career, Ciara posted multiple hits for Jive Records, but has struggled recently. When she was a young girl singing provocative lyrics, Ciara was extremely popular. But, when she transitioned into full adulthood, her popularity waned.

In 2006, Ciara released "Promise" and the remix featured R. Kelly and rumors began about the two dating. The rumors proved to be false, however, soon stories about her and 50 Cent came. Jive had issues with her being around 50 Cent.

On the heels of her 2007 album, Ciara announced her next release, Fantasy Ride. The album suffered from a lack of promotion at the hands of Jive Records. During the same year, newcomer, Keri Hilson, experienced tremendous success.

Because she had been with Jive Records for over five years, Ciara hoped things would be different when it was time to promote Basic Instinct. Sadly, the result was the same and her sales were so low that she became a laughingstock in the eyes of some. Ciara defended herself, saying she does not care about album sales. However, the low sales of her album have Ciara looking for an out.

Recently, there was news of Jive Records dropping Ciara from their roster. Ciara addressed the news, saying she had not been dropped from the label. However, she is highly upset with Jive Records and she does want to be released from her contract with them. Ciara admitted to having good times with the label, but said they left her on her own on her last two albums. She paid for promotion out of pocket.

Tired of being mistreated by Jive Records, Ciara wants to be released so she can move on with her career.

After being written off as a one hit wonder, Keri Hilson returned with a bang late last year. Her single, "Pretty Girl Rock," has become an anthem. Most importantly, her second album, No Boys Allowed, has become a major success. The hidden meaning of the title has impressed many critics.

Before the release of the album, Keri Hilson caused a bit of controversy with her jabs at Ciara. Ever since Hilson's 2009 debut, there were rumors of her and Ciara not getting along. Keri Hilson made things appear worse when she called Ciara out over her low album sales.

However, the situation was diffused when Keri Hilson announced she and Ciara would be working together. This year, both ladies are working on new album. They intend to record multiple songs, but will likely choose the best two. One song will be on Keri Hilson's next album, while the other song will be featured on Ciara's next release.

But, for the present, Keri Hilson is planning for the promotion of her last album. She is setting up a promotional tour for her album. Keri Hilson hopes to set up a small tour and perform throughout the spring. Due to her busy schedule, Hilson cannot do a major tour.

By Mr. Hollywood
JR Staff Writer

As usual, 50 Cent is all over the news. Last week, he made noise for his public spat with Ciara. The two reportedly dated from late 2006 until mid-2008. With all of the news about 50 dissing people and his relationships, or lack therof, 50 Cent hardly talks about his son.

When he first entered the game, 50 Cent said he was doing this for his son. At the time, 50 Cent only saw himself making a few millions. But, now 50 Cent is more than a rapper, he is one of the richest men in America and a successful businessman. Still, he is doing all he can for his son.

Marquise Jackson is now close to thirteen years old and he has big dreams. With his sixteenth birthday coming up in three years, he told 50 Cent he wanted a Ferrari. Diddy has been in the news for buying two Maybachs for his son, Justin, in just as many years. 50 Cent has been competing with Diddy ever since he first made it big, but he will let Diddy win this one.

Unlike the Bad Boy CEO, 50 Cent said he will not buy his son a gift like that. Before he shells out enough cash for a Ferrari, 50 Cent said he has to start working. While he will not be buying his son a Ferrari, 50 said he will likely buy a car for his son.

50 Cent and Ciara are Officially Out of Love

By Mr. Hollywood
JR Staff Writer

After his split from Vivica A. Fox, 50 Cent began seeing the much-younger, Ciara in 2006. At the time, she was just getting out of a relationship with Bow Wow. During the summer of 2007, the two began making public appearances together. But, in 2008, their relationship fell apart.

Ciara recently opened up about her time spent with 50 Cent. She said it was not what it looked like. According to Ciara, she was only friends with 50 Cent. Fresh out of a relationship with Bow Wow, Ciara was not looking for anything. She said 50 was her best friend.

Later, her friend said Ciara was going to give 50 Cent a chance when the Chelsea Handler rumors began. When she was promoting her Basic Instinct album, Ciara had an awkward interview with Chelsea Handler. Handler, herself, has been in the news regarding 50 Cent and she is also denying ever having a relationship with him.

Through all of this, 50 Cent and Ciara remained friends, but their Twitter beef has ended that. 50 Cent recently began referring to the people in his life as a "bitch." Ciara caught wind of his tweets and said what people post is a reflection of their character. 50 Cent said she was right, his character is reflected and he has a sense of humor and he said "get one bitch." While 50 Cent was clearly joking around, Ciara was very serious and very upset.

Tired of 50 Cent's jokes, Ciara went to YouTube and posted Queen Latifah's "U.N.I.T.Y." song on her page and left it for 50. She asked all of her followers to re-tweet it. Then, Ciara began her own responses to her former rumored boyfriend. Initially, their tweets were subliminal, but the two began calling each other out by name. 50 Cent later replied and said he was not going to enter a Twitter beef with Ciara. He ended his reply by telling her to cut it out.
