Ciara is finding the single life “tough” after being without a boyfriend for more than a year. The Grammy Award winner, who was last week announced as the new face of Jay-Z’s Rocawear line for women, is determined to be patient as she searches for her soul mate. The 21-year-old tells website People.com,
“It’s definitely tough at times. I’m now past my year mark of being single, and I’ve got to say I’m a big fan of love. Being in a relationship is one of the most beautiful things, and I’m looking forward to being in a relationship. “I’m also at a place where I want to be patient and do it right. I’m one of those girls that when I date, I date to marry, so I like to take my time and really get to know a person. I do meet people and run across people, but it’s all about building a friendship.”
Rap mogul Russell Simmons and his estranged wife Kimora Lee Simmons are suing magazine In Touch, according to reports. The Def Jam Records founder and fashion designer filed a libel lawsuit in New York Supreme Court on May 17, over an undisclosed article in the weekly publication.
The couple, who split in 2006 after eight years of marriage and two children together, are seeking $250,000 in damages, according to a court filing published on TheSmokingGun.com.
Grey’s Anatomy star Isaiah Washington’s public service announcement combating homophobia aired last night on ABC. Word is, he might not be coming back to the show next season. Read more @ TMZ.COM
I feel you Ciara! But you’re still young. You have PLENTY of time.
Those little girls are so precious. Wonder what the lawsuit is about? I’ll research
ISAIAH SIT DOWN & SHUT UP
ah ciara you’ll get over it, trust me!
Ciara thats good she wants to find her soul mate and date to marry unlike lindsay hohan who wants to fuck everyone and never settle down.
Russell please what is $250.000 gonna do for you? thats like breakfast money for him.
Isaia washington? I really don’t see what the big deal is all about. why that TK guy got mad for? He is a faggot why he got mad because someone refered to him as to what he is. So now theres a proper way to say Gay. get over yourself Faggot.
I understand how she feels! she was going through her breakup the same time I was going through mine when I heard her song “I found myself” that ish got me through cuz babbbby lol naw but I see where she’s coming from completely but I think patients is the key because good things come to those who wait!!!
We both waiting on a good thang CI CI! lol
CICI UR YUNG, HOT AND FRESH TO DEF, THERE ARE GONNA PLENTY OF MEN THAT COME AND GO, BUT TRUE LOVE COMES WHEN U LEAST EXPECT IT, I’M PULLIN A BEEJAY RIGHT NOW AND IT WORKS FOR US! ISAIAH STOP WHINING, DAMN GET OVER IT ALREADY! WHY KEEP APOLOGIZING FOR DA SAME SHYT OVER AND OVER! THEY DUN MADE AN EXAMPLE OUT OF U BOY!
lmaooo I said patients forgive me lord patience^
I love Ciara. She is not putting herself out there. She is young and successful and is not going to settle for some mess and drama.
ciara should work on herself, she is way to young to look for a soulmate!
Kimora and Russell have dealt with a lot from the press. It is time to make the haters pay like they weigh!
Isaiah needs to take a course in media relations and learn to be business in the streets and hood only with his peeps!
Ciara, I feel where she’s coming from, the dating world is brutal, there’s ALOT (like 99.9%) of no good niggas out there… must be the water lol!!
Isaiah, it’s too late boo boo, you already got played
Me and Ciara are in the same boat then I guess *sighz*
I’m movin’ to ATL next year. Hold on.
Agree with Ms. Juicee
*singing dreamgirls song* “Gotta have patience, PATIENCE little sister..”
I HAD NO IDEA CIARA WON A GRAMMY!
Ciara is still young she just needs to focus on her career right now and enjoying where she is…then when the times comes….that person will find her…
Dont worry Ciara.We’ll all find love someday.Just keeping praying.Mr.Right will arrive any day now.
B prepared for this traffic DDUB….it’s a fool
i think ciara should just have fun 4 the moment then think bout settling down later as u all said she is still young.
Ciara you’re only 21, you’ll find your soulmate soon enough. Right now you should stay focused on your career.
Kimora and Russ: HAM. Next! (But those kids are too cute)
Isaiah needs to stop running this into the ground. He made a fool out of himself and now they’re making an even bigger fool outta him. Either they’re gonna fire you or they won’t. SIT DOWN!
I also think that Ciara should wait before finding a soul mate. marriage is no joke and it is alot of work. In my opinion she is to young to want something that serious. I think she should concentrate on her career, date, and worry about being a better woman. plus any dude that she deals with is going to be in his early twenties and probably not ready to settle down anyway. I still don’t understand why people are so quick to marry. Figure out who you are first and then worry about a mate. God is going to bless you when he feels you are ready and not just desperate. to many marriages fall apart because people are in love with the idea of marriage, and don’t really know what they are getting into. I have seen enough of my friends marriages fall apart to know that it is not something to rush into.
Ciara’s only 21 and dates “to marry”? Lawd knows at 21, marriage was the last thing on my mind. Patience will payoff for her though, it did for me.
I didn’t know the Isaiah vs. TK thing was still going on. Isaiah has apologized I don’t know how many times, I guess he’s trying to keep his job. But why isn’t TK saying anything?
I feel you Ciara. Concentrate on your work first, but it’s also nice to be able to turn to that one person when things get rough.
Man… Isaiah. Dude, I think it’s over. At first I didn’t think his comment was even that damn serious, but now I’m just like if he had just left it alone then maybe….damn i don’t know. If he does get the boot, they should replace him with morris chestnut. Somebody posted that suggestion yesterday and I totally agree. He would do that part justice.
Ciara : Most single people can relate to that, and that means women AND men. We human beings were not created to be alone! That’s why everyone is looking for a soul mate. But you need to find “yourself” first and then the one who’s meant to COMPLIMENT (not complete) your life will come. Take your time, enjoy being with “yourself”. She reminds me so much of how me and my love think. That girl isn’t promiscuous, and there are more non-promiscuous people (men included) than you think. Don’t believe everything you see on TV and magazines. I love that girl’s personality, and her hairstyle is the ish.
Kimora & Russell : those lil girls are too precious.
Isaiah : Trying too hard. But the brother has no choice, there are so many gay people in the entertainment industry that if he wants to keep his job he’s gonna have to apologize a trillion times to allllllll the people he’s offended (that includes all gay the people he works with).
Isaiah is getting on my NERVES! Hell you don’t see Don Inmus going on and on and on and on..with I am sorry! Tell those gay people to kiss yo A*&, go out Ghetto and keep your dignity!
Amen #9…and I totally agree #23! That rhymed lol…
Anyways, I TOTALLY feel Ci-Ci. Personally, I would LOVE to find that special someone date them for like 3-5 years and then get married, that way you can have your fun with each other…then build a family.
Thats what it is all about forreal…I am SOOOOO tired of having to protect myself all the time when it comes to men. I am tired of putting up this wall and having to be on guard all the damn time b.cuz you don’t know if this guy is the real deal or just another fool trying to get some goodies!
I wish I could get a dime for every man that tried their hand with me…I would be richer than Oprah.
Moving on…
Thats right Kimora sue their asses lol! I hate “In Touch”, that mag is straight wack…damn near every article they write is false. I love how “Us Weekly” has started putting them on blast HILARIOUS!
Either they are going to fire Isaiah or not…I’m tired of this man apologizing! I mean damn he was wrong but that shyt is soooooo old, let it go muthafyckas!!! Lol…
Awww Ci-Ci…Er’body needs love. I pray God sends her a man that loves her. And that she doesnt look for him but that he finds her. That’s so sweet. She is not looking to hop from bed to bed. She wants a real relationship and committment.
Did I miss something? Why are Ki-Ki and Russ suing?
LOL @ 20.
#25 U r a beautiful young lady. And love will find you. I know there are some knucle heads out there but good guys are still around. Mostly when you least expect it. I met my husband while I was screaming at this lady for running the red light and hitting my new car! Go figure. He said he knew I was going to be his wife that day. I was like you cause you knew I could fight if I needed to!!!hahaha But really it will come. PS that day I was lookin a mess! I had my hair in a ponytail (REAL NOT WEAVED) and my hospital scrubs.

>>>>>>>>
I laughed so hard, that’s true. But I think we need to think about the fact that Don Imus is white. Isaiah is black working in a white-controlled industry (full of gay people too). Even if a black woman produces Grey’s Anatomy, hollywood, the tv channels & media in general are owned by whites. So there will be a double standard. The man is desperately trying to keep his job.
Inofmrtaoin is power and now Im a !@#$ing dictator.
one more thing baby sis….Keep your goodies! Dont give ‘em away! I wish I was a virgin when I married my husband. Less drama. I am assuming that you are no longer a virgin so I am saying keep your goodies to yourself til u meet the right one from here on out. And when you date if it doesnt work out then you havent given your body to him and there are less emotions to deal with. Just a thought! Much luv to ya!
On second thought…maybe it didn’t rhyme! Lol…
@ #28…Aww thank you! I appreciate your story about meeting your husband, I REALLY needed to read that! Lol at the whole scenario though:-), that was beyond cute!
oh my that PSA made me so embarassed for Isaiah! i hope this has taught him a lesson tho cos its rife in the black community to refer to gays as ‘fags’ etc. But damn, they should sack him from that show cos if his acting is as shit there as it is here his ass needs the boot.
ciara is so sweet, humble & mature. these are the role models young girls need. with a personality like that she’ll find a real man in no time. Do you Ci-cI
oh and number 3/Jenny….go get ureself a nice shank, place it upright on a comfy 2seater sofa and SIT UR ASS DOWN
ISIAH WASINGTON IS A PUPPET!!!!
Your welcome girl. I feel responsible for the younger females. To encourage you guys and to share some of my experiences. Just some cause Angel will kick us out if we start going in to left field! hahah HEY ANGEL!!!
Oh NIKKI**LUVBUG$**…unfortunately I’m not lol! However, I hold on tight…and I’m glad I do. It ALWAYS shows me the guys who are really into me and the guys who just want some eyecandy to smash.
When I know a guy is just saying a whole lotta crap just to get some…oh I put him through it lol. You cannot play games with me…grandmama’s daughter didn’t raise no sucka:-)!!!
Isaiah: Sit your punk ass down! What is with all this kissy face with gays all of a sudden? Give me a break.
Ciara is a fairly intelligent beautiful young woman who I am sure watches & talks to other older & sometimes much older women. & a common thread among those women is the lack of eligible men in their age category or the lack of REAL MEN in their age category. I agree that she is young yet HOWEVER I do think that when you are younger you are not nearly as set in your ways & therefore a bit easier to get along with another person in terms of the confines or freedom of a committed relationship. I say if the right person steps to her there is NOTHING wrong with her making a commitment to that person & vice versa, spending some real time getting to know that person & if the love is real & they are BOTH not just in love with the idea of being in love then going ahead & jumping that broom. It’s all about your maturity level & the experiences that you have had in life that determines whether or not you are ready to take that next step. Ultimately no one can know if you are ready but YOU.
ok…stand your ground.
******************************************************
Ciara mami do your thing!!!!
Believe you will find that “special person”
And lets be real kimora & russell?
Do you really need the money????
Its the princpal of the fact but 250,000
To y’all it is chump/ pocket change.
Again top 30′s
lol
Oh & I forgot to point out at her younger age that I truly APPLAUD her for taking a stand on NOT giving up the goodies. Hopefully alot of younger women & girls will see that she has put that out there & learn that its MORE THAN OK to say NO to these sexual predators out there. Hold on to you & your dreams & your innocence as long as you can. If telling him no or he has to wait means that he walks away from you then hand him a pair of SHOX & wave his a$$ goodbye!!!
I know CiCi. It’s hard as hell to find a good man, especially here in the ATL. Women outnumber the men here by like 4 to 1 lol.
And women outnumber men worldwide, that’s why they’re more likely to end up alone and lonely.
Jenny #3 You are an idiot and why are ignorant comments like hers never pulled up on this site?
How you gonna think that calling a homosexual a fag is appropriate… imagine the amount of white saying the same thing about calling black people the n word…. when as far as they are concerned black people are n-words anyway….. Use your common sense.
ONE OF MY HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS USED TO TELL ME IF I’M DATING SOMEONE I WON’T CONSIDER MARRYING THEN IT WAS A WASTE OF TIME. I SAW HIS POINT BUT I HADN’T FOUND MYSELF BY THE TIME I WAS 21.CIARA SEEMS TO BE VERY MATURE FOR HER AGE.
@30
I WHAT YOU MEAN WHEN YOU SAY YOU WISH YOU WERE A VIRGIN. I FEEL THE EXACT SAME WAY. I FEEL LIKE MY HUSBAND IS THE ONLY MAN THE DESERVED IT. I WISH I WOULD’VE HAD THAT MINDSET 13 YRS AGO WHEN I HAD SEX FOR THE FRST TIME!
I really think they have taken this ISIAH thang toooooo far. And he stupid and weak for letting them.
I MEANT I KNOW
Decysive, OMG I forgot you are here in ATL too. YEAH tis true the ratio DOES indeed exist. One more reason I had to change the players in the game. it IS what it IS.
ciara = “I date to marry”
caff = “I date to fuck”
LOL! Idiot.
Aww this is why I love CL!
Thanks Nikki for your story, gives me motivation!
Such Magnificence, your experiences sounds too much like mine, I guess guys are the same everywhere you go!
Preach Chante!!
Decysive, 4 to 1, wow, that’s crazy, I love ATL but don’t think I’ll be making that move there anytime soon lol!
Looks like the ladies are holding down this post! We’ll find our good men…sometime lol!
Ciara needs to have fun and have sex…and not worry about “dating” these lame black men. I’m in my 20s..and why the heck would I date to marry…just give me hot sex on a platter…I can marry when I’m 40 dammit.
Ciara’s seems to have a good head on her shoulders, her parents must have done a good job. She carry’s herself very nicely.
I though this Isiah Washington thing was over? Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t he and T.R. have a fight OFF CAMERA, on their own time? If he apoligized to T.R. and T.R. accepted it, why does he have to apoligize to the whole damn world. You know how many celebrities proboly say racist, homophic, sexist things when the camera’s aren’t rolling? Puleeese….put a sock in it.
LOL! Hell naw #52! Wow…
if more women thought like Cici, and stopped wasting their time on “mr. right now,” there’d be a lot less hurt/bitter women out there.
Amen #38!
some of these comments make it clear why the HIV rate amongst Blacks is so high…not to mention Herpes and Genital Warts (which condoms DON’T protect from).
PRAYER CHANGES THANGS, AND IF GOD BLESSED ME, (I’M HARDHEADED SOMETIMES, LOL) HE WILL SURELY BLESS YOU. I GOT UPSET ONE DAY THINKIN ABOUT HOW TRIFLIN MEN CAN BE AND DECIDED TO PRAY. I PRAYED FOR MY MAN THAT I HAVE NOW, AND I KID U NOT, AS SOON AS I SAW HIM, I KNEW IT WAS OVER. IT WAS LIKE THIS FAMILAR SPIRIT CAME OVER ME, LIKE WE MET BEFORE. BUT I REMEMBER I DIDN’T ASK FOR GOD FOR ANYTHANG SPECIFIC SO I THOUGHT HOW COULD THIS BE? BUT JUST SOMEONE THAT HE WOULD WANT ME TO HAVE. GOD IS REAL! I USED TO ALWAYS TELL MYSELF I WAS GOING TO TO MARRY A BASKETBALL PLAYER OR SOMETHING ONE DAY! AND WHEN THIS MAN APPEARED, I WAS LIKE WOW HE LOOK LIKE A BALL PLAYER ALL BIG AND TALL AND THIS IS WAS DA PART THAT TRIPPED ME OUT…HE WAS SAVED! AS FINE AS HE IS, I WAS LIKE WOW GOD, ALL THIS FOR ME? WHEN GOD DO SOMETHIN YALL, HE DO IT RIGHT! I/M NOT EVEN SAVED, BUT I KNEW GOD HAD SENT HIM FOR ME TO BE AN INSPIRATION, I AM A MOTHER AND ITS TIME OUT FOR GAMES, GOD SENT ME THIS MAN TO SETTLE ME DOWN FROM ALL THAT UNNECESSARY DATING I WAS DOING, WE WERE MADE FOR EACH OTHER AND LIKE I SAID YALL, I WASNT SPECIFIC WHEN I PRAYED TO GOD THAT DAY, SO TRY IT AND I PROMISE IF U R SINCERE IN UR HEART, GOD WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN FOR U TOO!….
1 fine dyme…I feel ya. The other 2 guys did not deserve my time, my body or the energy it took to get free from their “deposits” in my life. If I could go back I would’ve carried mase and been like get back boi!!!
Some of you people completely misinterpreted Ciara’s comments.
She is not saying she is looking to marry in the near future. SHe is saying that she takes her relationships very seriously and is a one guy kind of girl. MEANING she is not going to be meeting up with just anyone.
She is very savvy in that arena. She is not saying she is desperate for a soulmate, she just wants it to be known that she does not play fickly on matters of the heart. Unlike, folks like me. I hope to get that courage and determination to slow my fast self down sometime.
