The video, which was shown on a cameraphone, showed a woman who appeared to be Ciara dancing provacatively while completely nude. And after she finished, she proceeded to manually stimulate herself.

And there’s more…=the insider told MediaTakeOut.com that they had more videos which showed Ciara and a guy doing the deed!

The timing of this sex tape seems a little suspect to me…could it be that CeCe wants to drum up some scandal to garner interest in her which was originally set to be released in August, and has been pushed back repeatedly?

Rihanna “Only Girl” Video Director Lashes Out At Fans

First of all, I do not know of any other major recording artists who have had a video which required fans to pay in order to view it. Secondly, I think Chris may be overestimating his appeal with fans and the public at large. Although, many have forgiven him and welcomed him back with open arms, there are still those who are not on team Chris Brown.

Which is why in my opinion a video that fans would have to pay to see is ridiculous. Especially when there are no other major artists who have already set this precedent.  The pay per view would work as follows: Fans would go to mechanical dummy.com and pay $2.99 to watch the Pay Per View Event titled 12 Strands: Matrix.

Pre-Sale access will be available starting on Sept 24th. A percentage of proceeds from this project will benefit Brown’s foundation Symphonic Love. The Symphonic Love Foundation aims to provide support and funding for a wide variety of music and arts programs dedicated to the artistic development of children and youth while striving to promote an awareness of philanthropy by encouraging volunteerism and every day respect and kindness to others.

Although I appreciate Browns intentions on helping charity, I do not think that the manner and venue he is choosing to facilitate that help will be appreciated by fans who simply do not want to pay to see a music video of any kind.  Thoughts? Are fans ready to pay to watch a music video from Chris Brown? Was this a smart decision on Chris’s part?

Trey told MTV News,

“‘Bottoms Up,’ I feel, is a very creative video. [It's] different from the norm, different than what I feel is expected of me and anything I’ve shot for that matter. It’s as if I’m walking through some kind of funhouse, filled with women and different seductive things.”

Often, I have clients who opt not to use video or decide to add it as an afterthought towards the end of the planning process. Sometimes, they’ll round up a relative to bring a video camera to capture shaky, grainy footage.

Personally, I’m a HUGE fan of video. Yes, I’m also a HUGE fan of photography. But they are completely different mediums and equally important. I could go on and on all day about the importance of video. Instead, I’ll let the video speak for itself.

This is a video from one of our recent weddings. The event took place at Prestonwood Country Club in Cary, NC. The ceremony and reception took place in one room, and the video features what we like to call the room “flip” where we transition from ceremony to reception. Take a look and let me know if you’d prefer to have your uncle standing in the corner at YOUR  wedding, armed with his 12 year old video camera. Enjoy!

On Monday night, HipHollywood attended Serena William’s Pre-ESPY Awards event and managed to get celebrity reactions to the news that Christina Milian and The Dream had split.

Elise Neal
Some friends close to their circle had kind of told me that unfortunately they were having problems. I don’t know anything or haven’t seen any pictures so I don’t know what craziness came out but I did hear that they had been having problems and I’m not surprised to hear that they are separated

Lance Gross
Some relationships don’t work out. I know first hand but it’s a new day and time. Our generation is different from our parents. Like my parents have been together for 43 years and whatever they have, I’m searching for. My heart goes out to them. Both of them and the baby

Vivica Fox
I just say if things don’t work out, Keep things peaceful. They have a child. And keep it moving! Life goes on!

Niecey Nash
Christina Girl!!! Whatever you do, go on the break up diet. You lay in bed for 3 days and your girlfriends put a cold towel on your head. Then you get up and you get all up in your baby girls neck *makes kissing noises* Get some of that real good. Pray! Then after that “lift and lean”. Don’t give up on love, whatever you do

NBA star Amar’e Stoudemire
I mean obviously when a baby is involved you have to try to stick it out. What’s most important is taking care of that seed. Again you never know what the situation is. She’s beautiful in person, she should be able to find a good man. There is a lot of us out there.

Brandy Norwood
“I would just say to Christina that nobody is here to make you complete but yourself. Of course, we are all here to experience love and all of that good stuff. Your strength is within. Just tap into it and you can overcome anything. Take it from somebody that’s been through so much sh*t in life. You can overcome anything with the power of God because God lives within you. So Keep your head up girl. Come out and kill em’!

ON HER WEDDING:
“Yes, we are getting married on August 21st in Santa Barbara. We’re driving from L.A to Santa Barbara to check out the spot, we haven’t been there yet so hopefully it is what is suppose to be. [Planning the wedding] is fun but its really stressful! I haven’t had cold feet yet, but it gets to the point where I’m like ‘Can we just go to the courthouse?’ Its so much work but its fun!

ON MATT’S INVOLVEMENT:
“Matt is super involved! Matt was like listen…. ‘I want to get married by the beach, at sunset, in Southern California… make it happen!’”

Unfortunately, what was NOT caught on camera however was Gloria’s rep mentioning that she was gearing up for Season 2 of the show. This came as news to us because she recently made it clear to VIBE magazine that she did not…

“…want to be involved in season two if the same girls are involved.”

Beyonce and Solange’s mother Tina Knowles is coming out from behind the scenes and designing a clothing line all her own.

“Miss Tina” is coming exclusively to Walmart this Fall, and will be debuted at the 2010 Essence Festival.

Knowles described the collection as being,

…signed for women of all ages. The line caters to a consumer whose beauty is represented in a variety of shapes and sizes ranging from 4-20. The collection is also affordable, all items of the collection are designed to compliment one another, saving women time and money while simplifying the decision making process while shopping.

Here’s what she had to say about her inspiration:

As a woman with a very busy lifestyle, I know from personal experience how challenging it can be to find clothes that fit comfortably and that are flattering. I had become frustrated in searching for fashionable well-fitting yet age appropriate clothing that was affordable, well-made and addressed the problem areas so many of us women struggle with. Having created and launched two successful fashion brands, House of Deréon and Deréon, I felt there was still a void in the marketplace and wanted to find a solution to this situation.

In a recent interview with EXTRA, Drake hinted at the possibility of a collaboration with Chris Brown.

After the infamous beating that occurred in February 2009, Rihanna was spotted clubbing with Drake four months later in June:

Rumors started flying over whether or not the two were engaged in a full-blown relationship or a fling, but Miss Info clued us in, saying:

I remember that Drake and Rihanna were an “item” around the time that Drake did his first SOBs show. And I heard that the very next day, he was getting flown to London to “work” with Rihanna again but that, at the time, they’re relationship was still, um…unconsummated, lol. I hope, for his sake, at least that milestone was passed before she “curved” on him ; )

And we all know how Drake feels about her now: “Rihanna Played Me Like A Pawn, Then Disappeared”

So, let’s see what these two scorned lovers will come up with.
