Necole Bitchie Interviews Ciara Part 1 & 2

Ciara is a Lover. She values the essentials of life more than money; which includes LOVE. The singer is waiting patiently for the man of her dreams. Watching this interview made me love Ciara more than I did before. The attitude she has is wonderful, considering the industry she works in.
I am proud of Ciara for keeping her head up and believing in her dream...OnPointCeleb!

Ciara on how her parents’ 30 year marriage shaped who she is as a person
The way that I look at life is that I only understand the concept of marriage. My grandparents were married for 50 years, so when I date a person, I don’t like to jump fast. I don’t like casual dating, I don’t understand that so well. I don’t mean that in a funny way but for example in every relationship, I may have been around a person for a little second. Most of the people I usually meet them from working or being around them and then it usually turns into something. I don’t really understand the concept of randomly meeting someone and then going out. I have very few experiences like that. So because of my parents, I move slow in a relationship.
Ciara on Love:
I really believe that love is everything. It is so necessary, without love you have nothing. You can’t live without love in my book and in my world. So I look forward to that moment.
Ciara on her fear of not finding Love:
I sacrifice pretty much all of my time for my career and there has to be a balance to it. What good is having success in your work but not being able to share it with someone? That’s not living to me. Having career success is important but having life success is even more important to me. Especially, now more than ever it’s a must.
I look ahead and I look forward to knowing who I am going to spend my life with. I can go rock the stage, but to know when I go home, my baby or my boo is waiting for me, that’s fun and that is the icing on the cake.
On Amar’e's engagement
People don’t know that Amar’e and I weren’t together before you started seeing the two of them together but I have to say, I’m probably more happy for her. I’m more happy for the woman because she’s been very, very, very patient. They’ve had a long relationship off-and-on for years and they have kids together and I think it’s important that if people can figure it out together with the mother and father, why not? So I wish them nothing but success on that. The crazy thing is, when I was like 19 years old, Amar’e actually courted me, just for a little bit, and it never turned into anything and we didn’t go far with it. We met again after my relationship that was before him, and he’s always been a nice guy. Always been very nice to me, always been very respectful and I had a very fun experience. You know, you meet people along the way for a reason and I felt like he and I met for a reason, and we had fun in our experience and there is nothing hard about it.
I’m honestly wishing for him to figure things out the right way in his life. It’s something so positive that came from that, so none of it is any of that funkiness. Everything happens for a reason and I’m wishing him luck. I really am. I mean that from my heart. Who is meant for me will be for me. It ain’t even that serious. No heaviness over here.
On what 50 Cent is like as a person, outside of his online and rap persona
To be quite honest with you, saying that he was my best friend at some point, he is a very, very smart guy. He is very real and sincerely what he is. Like, it’s not a joke. We are not making up what we are in reference to how he is and he is a very family oriented person, all about family.
On the most memorable moment in her career
I don’t know why I want to say winning a Grammy but I feel like it’s not my most memorable moment but it came to mind. It’s one of my most memorable moments. I didn’t appreciate that moment as much as I do now, looking back. Time went on and now I’m like, moments like that, thinking back on it, really makes me feel the need to live my life and appreciate the things that happen to me when they happen.

On what she’d like for her legacy to be
On the entertainment side of it all, I would hope to go down as a great performer. It’s my mission to make a mark in that way. Business wise, in addition to entertainment, I hope to build an empire and build a brand that’s really strong and be able to last even when I’m not doing anything. Eternal success is very important.
I hope to inspire others, and for people to know that dreams are really real. I wasn’t raised in this. Every mistake and every performance has pretty much happened in front of the world. I didn’t grow up singing in church but I had a dream. I kid you not, as soon as I put my mind to it and said this is what I wanted to do, I wrote it down on paper and everything manifested. Everything fell into place. I feel like my experience can encourage anyone to know that no matter what time, or when you figure out what you want to do, its possible. So, I hope to inspire.

Part 2

Rihanna talks Dating and Chris Brown

On her Dating life:

I have not been on a date in forever. Like two years. Haven’t gone to the movies, to dinner. Zero.
I would love to go on a date! You don’t think that? I’m a woman. A young woman, vibrant, and I love to have fun. And I have too many vaginas around me at this point. She takes a sip of wine. “Seriously, all I want is a guy to take me out and make me laugh for a good hour and take my ass back home. He doesn’t even have to come up. All I want is a conversation for an hour.”
So what gives?
No one asks. Trust me on that. I’m waiting for the man who’s ballsy enough to deal with me. I’m going to wait, though. You always find the wrong sh-t when you go looking.

When asked about her friendship with Chris Brown, she responded:

There’s some obsession that’s continued even throughout when we weren’t friends or couldn’t be friends at all. Hated each other. The world hasn’t let go. They haven’t seen any progress in our friendship, because they don’t see anything, really, besides the song.
I didn’t think [Birthday Cake] could be anything detrimental to my career. I was on a tour bus ride between two cities, listening to my album, thinking, Oooh, maybe I should make this into a duet. And I started coming up with a bunch of people, and his name crossed my mind. I thought, We haven’t made a song in so long together . . . it could be a little shocking.
So now it’s a bit of a fascination, I guess. I don’t know if people will stop soon, but I feel like as soon as they have closure to it, they will. But they’re not on the inside. They can’t see what I see, unless they’re sitting in my point of view. I guess I’ll learn to accept that.

And if you are wondering why Rihanna doesn’t take a break and continues to release an album almost every year [6 albums in 7 years], her manager Jay Brown had a matter-of-fact answer for that:

If you have a new iPhone every year, why can’t we give them new content?
But I don’t think she’s thinking of it like that. She’s thinking, I love to make music. I want to keep going.

Rihanna Dishes About Her Dating And Sex Life On The Ellen Show

Here is a snip it of the interview: 

Rihanna: “I’m not dating anyone right now. I’m not dating at all.”

Ellen: “I would think you would be intimidating to men. First of all, having the title ‘The Sexist Woman Alive” (From Esquire Magazine) I don’t know if you wear a banner or what happens. Is there a crown? When you’re the “Sexist Woman Alive” men are going to be intimidated. How do you guys…Are they scared of you?”

Rihanna: “I would say at times it can be intimidating but then it’s no good. I can’t have guys that are intimidated by me. I like men that are more aggressive but mysterious but I like a man to be very sure. I like them to be sure of them selves and know that you’re the man. I’m the lady and the only way for us to make this work is for us to play our roles. You know, I can’t really be the man for you. I don’t want to have to be. I’m the man at work all the time.”

Ellen: “I think especially for a powerful woman and you make a lot of decisions the whole day. Your Work is to make decisions. You want somebody else to take control and make those decisions in a relationship. And that’s hard to find a guy who’s not going to be intimated by the power you have. And, realize there’s got to be another side.”

Rihanna: “Definitely. It can be difficult but I think really right now, I’m not giving the time. I don’t have the time. I’m not necessarily happy being single. It’s not really that cool. It sucks but it is, what it is. Let me say this right, because I don’t want to make it seem like, my work is my everything. I do put a lot into my Jobs. Most of my time if not all of it. It definitely affects my personal life. My personal life is pretty much non-existent. Which is not good, not for the long run. Not for me, not for “her” [points to in-between her legs] It’s not fun.”
That’s why I stay on Twitter a lot. So I can conversate with my fans. Because I don’t get any booty calls.”

Ellen: [laughs] So many things to say right now, but I won’t.

The full episode will be airing Monday, November 20th.
