Ciara’s ‘Basic Instinct’ Album Release Party

Ciara traded in her fancy designer duds and went back to basics, rocking an Atlanta Braves fitted, midriff-baring plaid shirt, baggy acid-washed jeans, and red Jordans at her album release party last night. The sexy singer performed a few cuts from her new project Basic Instinct and jumped on Ustream to chat with her fans live from Drai’s nightclub in Hollywood.

Ciara Meets Chelsea Handler

Ciara strutted out like a supermodel in a sparkly cleavage-baring dress and high heels during her appearance on Wednesday’s “Chelsea Lately.” CiCi shared her newfound affinity for cursing with host Chelsea Handler and even dropped the F bomb on TV. She also presented 50 Cent’s rumored girlfriend with CiCi’s survival kit, including an Atlanta Braves fitted, Magnum condom, door knocker earrings, and Jordans.

Ciara Performs on ‘Lopez Tonight’

Hold on tight. Ciara tore the roof off “Lopez Tonight” with another rousing performance of “Gimmie Dat” from her new album Basic Instinct. CiCi stormed the stage with her troupe of dancers before serenading the host. “I go to see George Lopez, he makes me want to dance, I want to have his babies,” she said in a sexy Latin accent.
Despite early predictions, Ciara is not worried about her album sales. “Selling records are becoming a smaller fraction of branding and building a long-lasting career,” she told the AP. “You can sell a lot of records, but can you tour? You can sell records, but where does it go beyond that? That’s a part of building a brand for yourself.”
