Ciara

Ciara is bidding to follow in the footsteps of Beyonce Knowles, Jennifer Lopez and Jessica Simpson and launch her own fashion line.

According to gossip news, she has a keen eye for style and already knows what kind of clothes she’ll create for her fans and what her label will be called.

The 23-year-old says, “It would be a fun sexy line, like cute character underwear that kids wear. It’d be for laughs – I’d call it Fly Girl.”

Here’s a sneak peak look at Ciara and Justin Timberlake’s new video for Ciara’s new single ‘Love Sex Magic’.

Ciara herself has yet commented on the report.

On Tuesday night, December 2, Ciara was seen joining Victoria’s Secret’s Angels Heidi Klum and Miranda Kerr at the Grand Opening of the Victoria’s Secret Lexington Avenue Flagship store. The brand’s famous faces Selita Ebanks, Marisa Miller, Alessandra Ambrosio and Doutzen Kroes were also in attendance.

Ciara told OK! that she thinks the Material Girl is tough enough to survive the ordeal under the public’s gaze.

“She’s a megastar, and that goes with the territory,” she at the magazine’s third annual Women in Music Awards ceremony in New York on Oct. 23.

“But she’s definitely put her foot down as a woman over the years and she’s proven to be one of the best to me. She’ll make it through — she’s been doing this for a long time,” she said.

At the same ceremony, Billboard presented Debbie Harry with their Icon Award and Colbie Caillat with the Rising Star Award.

Vibe magazine revealed a controversial cover featuring none other than R&B singer Ciara !
Photographed wearing nothing but a pair of platforms, Ciara covers the R&B heavy issue of the magazine that allegedly told Robin Thicke that he could not cover it because he was white. Albeit controversial, the cover as pictured below confirms what many had believed about the Robin Thicke controversy, which was that another artist, in this case Ciara’s cover was more viable to the magazine.

Morning rush hour customers at McDonald’s enjoyed the celebrity treatment – literally – as Grammy-award winning R&B songstress Ciara took breakfast orders at the McDonald’s® 50th Anniversary Restaurant in downtown Chicago. To end a two-day national event, where McDonald’s estimates restaurants gave away over two million of its new breakfast menu item, the McSkillet Burrito, Ciara worked the counter and drive-thru for two hours, serving hundreds of customers.

“I think that out of the one million burritos that McDonald’s served, I handed out somewhere around a couple of hundred,” joked Ciara.

McDonald’s breakfast lovers had no clue Ciara was behind the counter, as the location of where she would work that morning was kept secret. Neil Golden, Chief Marketing Officer McDonald’s says if Ciara ever departs from her singing career, she’d definitely have a job at McDonald’s. “If we could get Ciara to be one of our crew people, we would take her in a heart beat and she would have a brilliant future,” said Golden.

And the 1, 2, Step singer has been making the most of her time off.
She says, “Rihanna’s really under the weather. I’ve been trying to catch as much rest as possible so I don’t get sick too, so we haven’t really hung out yet.”

Ciara’s party train kept right on rolling Monday night, as the R&B star celebrated her 22nd birthday at South Beach’s Cameo nightclub. The bash – complete with a sparkler-topped chocolate cake and a bottle of Cristal – came on top of previous fetes in Washington, D.C., Atlanta and New York (where she held two separate soirées). So what’s with all the repeat performances?

“I missed my 21st birthday [because] I was on tour promoting my album,” she told PEOPLE. “Since I didn’t get to celebrate turning 21, I’m celebrating exiting 21.”

And she’s not done yet. The singer – who broke up with singer Bow Wow last year and recently denied rumors of romance with 50 Cent – jets to the Bahamas today for two more nights of revelry. “At first I said only five parties, but it somehow turned into seven!” she exclaimed.
