Ciara is in promo mode proper for new album ‘Jackie.’

After rocking the stage on the Today Show this morning, the R&B siren moved on to HOT 97 radio to talk about life – both professional and personal.

A large sect of the interview saw hosts Peter Rosenberg and Laura Stylez quiz the 29-year-old on her break-up from rapper Future and her new flame – footballer Russell Wilson.

Peep the fun-filled chat after the jump…

As if Rihanna‘s polarizing MET Gala gown wasn’t enough entertainment, the 27-year-old was tapped as the night’s headlining act at yesterday star-studded spectacle.

Backed by a rousing band, the self-proclaimed Bad Gyal performed atop of dinner tables as she barked belted songs from her catalogue, including current single ‘Bitch Better Have My Money.’

Interestingly, that portion of the set was performed right in front of rival Beyonce, whose reaction seemed “interesting.”

Watch the footage below…

Any drama between Lady GaGa and Madonna appears to have dissolved during last night’s MET Gala.

Next to Rihanna’s dress, Mother Monster and Material Madge were next in line to break the internet after appearing together with Katy Perry.

The whole episode was notable in light of GaGa and the 56-year-old’s public clash in 2012 (see: ‘Born This Way,’ reductive, ‘Express Yourself).’ It also comes on the heels of the media’s pitting GaGa and Perry against one another in 2013 after the release of their singles ‘Applause’ and ‘Roar.’

In any case…

Clearly not a forced photo opp, another snap of the Pop titans together at an after-party with Alexander Wang has surfaced.

In the words of Queen Latifah, we’re loving the u-n-i-t-y. A collabo perhaps?

Your thoughts?
