CIARA ALBUM NEWS

Jive released the official album cover for Ciara's Fantasy Ride to be released May 5th. This relates more with the title and theme of the album, and the whole comic/superhero gimmick she's been pushing. This is the message she left on her myspace:

Hey everybody
I am soooo proud of this artwork! I can’t wait for you to see the inside - it’s crazy!!!!! Super C is my super hero name. It’s who I am. It’s the inner strength and drive that enables me to overcome any obstacles and who I have to be in order to accomplish my dreams and survive in this tough world. I had the opportunity to work with the amazing Bernard Chang who did all of the illustrations. Get ready y’all, I’m gonna take you on a FANTASY RIDE!
May 5th!!!!!!
Holla at ya girl shawty!

Also below is a short video of Ciara and JT rehearsing for a string of performances in the next month.

A source tells us rapper 50 Cent and Ciara (above) recently shacked up together for a night in one of the penthouse suites at the AKA Times Square Hotel & Residences on West 44th Street.
