Ciara Wants Some Attention

Wednesday, July 29 2009 4:54 PM EST | Posted by: YN | Posted in: Focus

After catchin’ a brick with her last CD, Princess Super C has taken to TwitVid (I didn’t know that even existed) in a desperate attempt to stay relevant. Above she sings Estelle’s “American Boy” which is her own personal audition for Puff’s new show. Huh? Isn’t that exciting? Ok, she can sing but I don’t know girl. You might have to go back to takin’ your clothes off, shoot some nude fiicks, and then pretend you didn’t want to do it when the heat comes. Ha!

The master marketer really knows how to promote. Watch Puff party underneath the studio, plug Last Train To Paris, Ciroc vodka and his I Am King cologne at a feverish pace. I think he had Jimmy shook.

Bonus: Diddy on Alexa Chung. Our cable went out that day. SMH.
