About an hour ago, a random tweet popped up on our Twitter.com timeline from singer Ciara’s Twitter account. It read, “Check out the hot new Kardashian Kollection from Sears! Clothing, accessories and more – see it all here” — and then she posted a link to the Kardashian Kollection “Look Book” at E! Online.
The tweet seemed innocent enough. Just a tweet from a friend in support of another friend. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary until we saw the hash tag that read “#ad” behind the link. This led some of us to congregate immediately in the Direct Message box in the back alleys of Twitter.com where figures of $5K to $10K per tweet were thrown around.
This led some of us to wonder if Ciara is so broke that she is now accepting cash to tweet ads for her friends.
Think of it: Ciara hasn’t had a hit since “Goodies”— and when was the last time she toured anywhere for a substantial amount of money?
If Ciara is broke, then tweeting ads for the Kardashian Clan’s clothing Kollection will certainly put some much needed cash in her pocket. Kim Kardashian alone has a net worth of around $35 million!
What do you kids think?

Damn this Ciara isn’t so hot looking – I like her new nose better and I always thought Ciara’s cash flow was dwindling for the past 4 years now…
Shooooooot They can pay me 5K-10K and I will tweet ad’s for them all day and all night too… LOL #with No trippin at all
Or maybe she isn’t broke and wants to stay that way
yeah auntie she’s broke. sad… Hey everyone!
LOL…at 1st glance looking @ this pic I thought she chopped off all her hair and was rocking a natural, a lil TWA (teeny weeny afro)…I didn’t even read the article yet….LOL…
I seriously doubt that Ciara is broke, maybe she’s just helping out a friend
I wld tweet for them and just abt anybody else who wanted to pay me plenty of celebs do it so I don’t see the big deal
She is not broke SMH. Everybody knows that other stars send random messages to help out each other. Wasnt we just talking about Bey doing that for Kelly’s new cd? They are friends come on now.
As I said last night.. she will soon be on #Unsung #ad <—I want my $5

________________
Friends usually don’t charge friends thousands of dollars to help out. Especially when it takes no effort at all to push the Tweet button. Can you imagine Monica accepting cash to help out a friend on Twitter?
All I think is Kourtney’s hair is way too big in that ad
#getthatmoneybew
Can you imagine Monica accepting cash to help out a friend on Twitter?

Auntie, what if the friend says “hey promote my business on your twitter for me. I’ll pay you because i’d have to pay anyone else for advertising so I might as well pay you cause we’re friends” It’s could be just doing business with a friend. And ain’t nothing wrong with getting money while you still have money.
@ jealousCNenvy: friends don’t charge each other for help. Ciara had to put #ad behind her tweet in compliance with Twitter policy if you accept cash to tweet. That’s different from helping out a friend.

ION know… All the strippers I know charge each other when I see the networking at the strip clubs…
Well, its not like she got that Beyonce money
Ciara needs to find her a baller STAT! I dont see why she cant, I mean, she’s pretty enough, eh??
I thought that was Trey Songz in the first picture……… yup
@ datsmdubya2u:
Everybody knows what the hash tag #ad means on Twitter. It just looks bad for a star to do business on their timelines where everyone can see. Ciara could have done that tweet for free so she wouldn’t have to put the #ad hash tag.
@Terrance
HELL will freeze ALL the way over b4 CiCi rox a TWA..REAL
she need to get her some endorsements, like Rihanna and Katy Perry- duh!!!
Hey Auntie
the clothes? ummmmm……….Chloe in those leggings….
Maybe she’s on Sears’ payroll too? They are trying to rebrand themselves since they were teetering on the brink of bankruptcy anyway.

I defer to your superior knowledge of twitter etiquette. I refuse to have a twitter account so I don’t know what’s a good look and what’s not.
And we need Redeemed to decipher that pattern on Kim’s dress.

@Man…there you go.
I am sure she is getting paid for this. What have Ci-Ci done lately??????
Maybe she does need cash, I woulnd’t support anything I’m not wearing and at first glance those outfits looks like geraminals for adults.
Business is business. If my momma said she’d pay me $5-10k for tweeting a link to her business I’m on it. Hmmm…$5k for twitting or $0 yeah I’m going with the money even if I had millions in the bank
@ Man: Monica regularly helps out her friends behind the scenes without fanfare or tipping off the media. I don’t know why you seem to have a problem with her. Or are you just a stalker?
@ man and Ms. Sandra. I just
he likes to mess with you.

I don’t see that happening. ummm he dated adriana lima, mariah carey, Jessica Alba,Minka kelly (friday night lights), Laura Dutta (former Miss Universe), Vannessa Minillo, Jessica biel,Rachel Uchitel, Jordanna Brewster.

@West Coast and Pretty Girl…Like one of my girlfriends told me. I know when I’m having a break out, I get a tingling down my leg. So I’m sure Derek would give you a heads up!
I heard the same thing about Majic
chics don’t care.
@WCC… sing it girl
What’s up girl?”
“He stood me up again.”
“Again?”
“Um hmmm.”
“Well what’s up with this guy? Do you really like him that much?”
“Yes, honey, I love him. He is fine, he does a lot of nice things for me.”
“I know he used to do nice stuff for you, but what has he done for you lately?”
Used to be a time when you would pamper me
Used to brag about it all the time
Your friends seem to think that you’re so peachy keen
But my friends say neglect is on your mind…
Who’s right?
Chorus:
What have you done for me lately
Ooh ooh ooh yeah
What have you done for me lately
Ooh ooh ooh yeah
Used to go to dinner almost every night
Danced until I thought I’d lose my breath
Now it seems your dancin’ feet are always on my couch
Good thing I cook or else we’d starve to death…
Ain’t that a shame?
Chorus once
I never ask for more than I deserve
You know it’s the truth
You seem to think you’re God’s gift to this earth
I’m tellin’ you… no way.
You ought to be thankful for the little things
But little things are all you seem to give
You’re always puttin’ off what we could do today
Soap opera says you’ve got one life to live
Who’s right who’s wrong?
This is wild… I swear.
Herpes- Mike Vick… Derek Jeter who else ??????
Nite Nite

I would charge Kim K. for tweeting too after she told me to sell my asset’s over sea’s to make money because my baller boyfriend just dumped me and my album didn’t do so well. La La even tried to give this girl tv shine by allowing her to perform in her converse rejects at my bachelorette party. Nothing can help CI-CI financially but these tweets
@caligirl
Well IF that’s TRUE regarding Jeter then he caught it from ONE of the MANY YT Girls he’s been HITTING Since becoming Big-Time (Ohhh Well…)
ohh I had to respond…You mean Ron Mexio

How much would you charge your friends?
Friends get a 2.5% discount. The recession ain’t over yet. Ciara has to eat too.
Obviously, Ciara isn’t the friend helping the friend but the friend in need of help.

This is how rumors start not the last sears just the last major store in the defunk Shannon Mall the one Bib Poppa owned or something like that
I don’t think the guhl is broke but I don’t think she swimming in riches either. If she is advertising for them she need a check they got it
Did anyone notice that I took the picture of Ciara? I was hired by Nicole Marzan, owner of MVD Inc, a PR firm out of NY to shoot this party at Demi and Ashton’s restaurant Dulce at Atlantic Station in 2007. I was minding my own business shooting the party when a Hater had me thrown out on the sidewalk for no reason. I didn’t even have a blog at the time. So anyway, Ciara walks up while I’m cooling my heels on the sidewalk and I asked her if I could take a couple of pics. Moments later, Nicole, the publicist who hired me, arrived from the airport and she demanded to know why I was standing on the sidewalk outside her party. So I told her about these hating azz industry people in Atlanta, and she said, “Oh, hail naw! I hired you! Wait here just one minute!” And she swooped inside and a few minutes later security came out and got me. That’s why I like New Yorkers ’cause they are about their business.
@Sandra I wouldn’t charge them anything…. Thats what friends are for to be there when you need them. The true test of friendship is when you need them are they there for you.
@Sandra didn’t you start your Blog in 2007 at the end of the year ?
Maybe Ciara and Kim aren’t REAL friends and she really just accpeted the money for posting the ad. Business and friendship doesn’t always mix, so maybe Ciara is really just about her money.
However, I don’t think Ciara is broke at all…
@ Sandra
That’s a very fresh-faced pic of Ciara…I think it’s pretty.
@ SnootyPooty: Yup

Sandra, I like it when you come in here and hang with us…
@Sandra I thought so because I remember joining your site in 2007 LOL I had a different screen name then though.
I like it when she comes and play as well…. Your turn auntie, Are you ready to double dutch…
Lmao @ Dawn and SnootyPooty
@Sandra .. that was fun now let me jump you can’t hog all the rope.
@sandra did you guys have double dutch in the UK?
If you don’t have solid proof, as in test results, you shouldn’t speculate about what diseases people have or don’t have.
@CInderalla the court documents and law suit in Mike VICk case is clear evidence go vist the smoking gun .com. He was sued by one of the women that he gave herpes too. SOrry boo boo. He lost the case because his dr. records proved that he had herpes.
He used the alias Ron Mexico. Thats where we got the nick name for Mike Vick from. Its not speculation its a fact that was proven beyond reasonable doubt. Now the others I can’t speak on.
Lawd y’all done brought up Ron Mexico and the herp.. I remember those Ron Mexico Jersey’s… man I love being from Atlanta…
SN: I put my good bra on since Auntie in here reading and chit…
Well she thought we made up stuff about Ron Mexico…
Lots of folks got the herp and don’t even know… it can lie silent outbreak free for a long time…
@Dawn I’m not even from ATL and know about Ron Mexico
This is true I totally agree they say 1 out of every 5 people have herpes.
SnootyPooty says:
Well she thought we made up stuff about Ron Mexico…
———-
Sometimes u can’t tell folks nothing… she can go find out… I think like if she went today she wld know by Saturday morn-ting pee pee time…
@dawn it might be silent until the outbreak comes then it speaks very loud and clear
@DAWN…
I wouldn’t spread rumors about people having diseases unless i knew for sure its mean spirited and just flat out evil.
SnootyPooty says:

Yes, its kinda like being pregnant… I was in denial for like 11 weeks… my baby fina be 7 and I just accepted it
@snooty, I knew about Mike Vick. I read those papers. I’ve never heard anything about Derek Jeter or Jessica Alba. And Dwyane Wade’s ex contracted a STD from somebody else. He sued her for lying about him infecting her and he won $500,000.
@Dawn… Hilarious Not that you just accepted it…
@Cinderalla .. Oh I don’t know anything about those people at all never heard anything until others said something about it today.
Yeah Dwayne wade sued his ex because she lied on him. When in actuality she contacted the disease from whomever she was sleeping with.
Don’t think she is broke, just not getting all the extras from 50. Now she has to use her own money and she is holding on tight to what she has. She still has her place in LA and ATL so i guess she is doing ok
Her nose looks very different in this photo.

Re: D wade
I did say the info came from his crazy ex wife so it was not reliable.
Didn’t know about the lawsuit he filed. so i guess it’s not true then.
