As you know, Ciara has been the subject of a few not-so-positive posts on this blog.
So when someone emailed me photos from the set of her “Go Girl” video last week, I was the only urban blogger who chose not to post them.
But yesterday, a loyal reader emailed me to say Ciara’s camp was busy sending out C&D orders to urban bloggers — and even her fansite, Sincerelyciara.com, to take those pics down.
Why would she do that to her own fansite when she desperately needs the exposure, you ask? Because some celebrities don’t realize how ridiculous they look until they read the negative comments on these blogs.
Whether you guys know it or not, your comments are read by celebrities and taken very seriously — perhaps too seriously.
Celebs are constantly surrounded by ‘yes’ men and women who tell them what they want to hear because these people need to eat and they don’t care who they eat off of.
Most celebrities live in fantasy worlds and urban blogs provide reality checks for them.
[hidepost]As I told you in an earlier post, Ciara thinks she’s a Superstar on a level far superior to Beyonce or Rihanna. The once sweet, demure singer in the baggy khakis and fierce wife beaters, is fast becoming unstable.
When her manager sat down with Ci last year to ask what direction she wanted to take her new album in, Ciara responded, “I want to be a Supermodel.”
Things quickly unraveled from there.
Since splitting from her longtime manager a few months ago, Ci has made one disastrous decision after another.
By trying to keep up with the Rihanna’s and the Beyonce’s, Ci has taken her career into unchartered territory and she’s losing her core fan base.
It’s part of the reason why her new album will flop.
Now that Ci is on her own and having to think for herself, industry people like Danyel Smith, editor-in-chief of VIBE magazine, are slowly realizing who the real Ciara is.[/hidepost]
