That Grape Juice caught up with R&B star Ciara this past week. With the recent announcement of the singer’s 4th studio album ‘Basic Instinct’, we were eager to quiz her on the record, as well as a host of other topics.

Our third interview with the 24 year old, this was hands-down the best! A very candid Ciara spoke on everything from the poor performance of her ‘Fantasy Ride’ LP, to what we can expect from her new record, BET’s banning of her ‘Ride’ video,  what she wants her legacy to be, the possibility of a duet with Keri Hilson, her response to claims she’s gone “too Pop” and much more!

As ever, we ask the questions you really want answers to! Enjoy…

Ciara showed her fans her playful side on Ustream recently. The entertainer demonstrated her near-perfect Britney Spears imitation while covering the megastar’s club classic ‘Slave 4 U’. In 2008, Ciara opened for Spears in her sold-out ‘Circus’ tour. Peep the footage below:

Peep a stunning Ciara partying it up with good friend LaLa Vasquez at Vasquez’s joint birthday bash for herself and fiance Carmello Anthony. The up-scale event was held at the Phillipe restaurant in Hollywood last night (May 30th), and was also attended by Tyrese and Christina Milian.

Randomness: Does anyone else find it funny that LaLa is best-friends with seemingly everyone (Kelly Rowland, Kim Kardashian, Ciara, Solange etc)? Just saying…
