I don't know WHAT Chris Brown did to deserve that type of cruel and unusual punishment, but if I were him, I'd definitely do it again.
Yes, that's Ciara, looking very "Black Cat"-era-Janet Jackson, putting Rihanna's man in his place at the BET Awards back in June. (For the record, five years before Ciara was born, Janet opened the 1990 VMAs with "Black Cat.")
Yes, Ciara recently signed with Wilhelmina Models and is in talks with Victoria's Secret to start rockin' their barely-there gear.
Yes, Ciara looks hotter than ever, and yes, she'll be presenting an award at the 2008 VMAs. And while I'll be bloggity-blogging away from the red carpet on the big night -- Sunday, September 7 -- as a non-famous person, I'm definitely glad I don't have to actually share the carpet with her. Not that the red carpet's a competition. But really though, um, it is.
So, who do you think's even got half a shot at looking as hot as Ciara on the red carpet next Sunday, or will Ciara outsex the whole show like she did at the BET Awards?
For a little inspiration, check out her "Like a Boy" video, which earned her a 2007 VMA nomination for Best Choreography, and check out more photos of her striptastic pas de deux with Chris Brown, and watch the performance here.
