The R&B chanteuse is going all out for Halloween and may well have scored the definitive win.

Moments ago, posing alongside husband Russell Wilson, she shared her costume – Beyonce.

The Wilsons recreated Bey and Jay-Z‘s ‘APESH*T’ video – with The Obamas playfully replacing the Mona Lisa.

Ciara marked her 34th birthday with a fun-filled appearance on the ‘Ellen’ show.

With the anchor on break, guest host Justin Hartley stepped in and chopped it up with CiCi about her her year, family life, and upcoming Nickelodeon series ‘America’s Most Musical Family.’

After, she participated in a dance-off with resident DJ tWitch – which saw the pair square off to a number of jams, including Janet Jackson‘s ‘Rhythm Nation.’

All the action after the jump….

Ciara‘s relationship with Nickelodeon continues to prove itself lucrative.

In addition to bringing down the house on the network’s ‘Kids Choice Sports’ ceremony in August (click here to watch), the Grammy winner – still hot on the promo trail in support of her latest album ‘Beauty Marks’ – is also set to leave her mark on both sides of the lens as executive producer and judge of Nick’s forthcoming reality talent series, ‘America’s Most Talented Family’ (click here to read more on that).

Ahead of its premiere, Ci was spotted electrifying the audience of ‘All That,’ the channel’s recently rebooted variety sketch show, with a rocking live rendition of her latest single, ‘Set.’

As Ciara continues to wow audiences across America on the critically acclaimed ‘Beauty Marks’ tour in support of her seventh studio album of the same name (click here for dates), she was wowed by a surprise guest appearance from her former producer, Jazze Pha.

Longtime fans of the songstress know Pha (born Phalon Alexander) was instrumental in her early years, crafting a number of the hits found aboard her debut LP, ‘Goodies,’ and even launching the effort via his imprint Sho’Nuff Records.  Although the dissolution of their professional relationship led to Alexander turning to legal action against the diva (click here to read more), she’s spoken glowingly of him in interviews since the fallout.

If ever proof was needed the hatchet was buried between the two it was served Thursday night (September 26) when Ciara performed in her hometown of Atlanta and was surprised by the producer at the show’s end.  See the heartwarming reunion inside:

This week 15 years ago, Ciara – 2004’s burgeoning “it girl” in music –  reigned over the Billboard Hot 100 with her inaugural hit, ‘Goodies.’ 

A reimagining of rapper Petey Pablo‘s signature hit, ‘Freek-a-Leek,’ ‘Goodies’ – which also saw Pablo featured – shared more than just sonic likeness with its ‘Freek’ predecessor, but also boasted the same producer:  Lil Jon.  Yet, while Jon -credited as the father of the Atlanta-inspired musical movement – was the craftsman behind launching a number of the era’s leading Crunk hits, ‘Goodies’ was among the first to enjoy crossover success on Pop charts.

A commercial smash that sat atop the Hot 100 for seven consecutive weeks (making it the longest-running #1 debut single by a female artist since 1977), the 3x Platinum song – despite being her only chart-topper (to date) – would not only launch Ci into an impressive R&B career that continues to thrive today, but would go on to stamp itself as a fan favorite among entries in her prized discography.

Sitting down with our friends at Certified recently, the 33-year-old reflected on ‘Goodies’ and its impact on her career a decade-and-a-half later.  See it inside:

Last night saw Ciara set sail on the ‘Beauty Marks Tour’ and she brought a bevy of hits with her.

Super Ci kicked off the US trek at the Washington State Fair and did not disappoint.

Backed by an army of dancers, the performer blazed through fan favorites such as ‘Level Up,’ ‘Goodies,’ and ‘1, 2 Step,’ and newer numbers such as ‘Dose.’

The tour, which has been mounted in support of the singer’s ‘Beauty Marks’ album, will feature stops in the likes of Los Angeles, New York, and Atlanta, before wrapping up in Chicago next month.

At this point we’re convinced Ciara just needs to teach a masterclass on what it means to ‘level up.’

When not collecting awards for everything from music to philanthropy (click here to watch her acceptance speech at this year’s Black Girls Rock!), the R&B diva’s stunning on red carpets, blazing stages, or hosting award shows and TV specials like Nickelodeon’s forthcoming ‘America’s Most Musical Family’ (click here to read more).

Now, not even a month after being announced as the face of Kohl’s latest campaign, Cici’s partnered with IPSY to act as the glam brand’s newest ambassador.

Todrick Hall and Ciara rocked the stage together at World Pride and keep the party going with the fierce remix to ‘Nails, Hair, Hips, Heels.’

CiCi joins the performer on his sass anthem and sprinkles a little of her sparkle onto the track.

Speaking on the collab,  Hall said:

“To collaborate with an icon and queer ally like Ciara is simply a dream come true. NHHH has become an anthem for the gay community and now the song will have an even broader appeal, because no matter the race, gender or sexual orientation, everyone deserves to have a song make them feel fabulous!”

As for what Mrs Wilson wants listeners to do when listening to track? She simple says”

“Dance for your lives to this Hunty! Yaasss!!”
