“I don’t fuck with Hollywood bitches and she’s like one of the chicks that’s just changed along the way with the fame and the money and all of that. I don’t really get down with her anymore on some real shit. The truth hurts, but it will set you free. But I wish her all the best,” Lloyd reveals in the new issue of Hip Hop Weekly.

One of a kind Rihanna was taken aback when she — and the rest of the world discovered that Ciara, 23, had copied the Barbadian beauty’s hairstyle right down to the swept bangs across the forehead, spywitnesses reveal in the August 11 issue of Star Magazine.

“Ciara has always looked up to Rihanna, so this is not a big surprise,” says an insider. “They used to be friends, but Rihanna’s over her. She’d like Ciara to get her own look.”

Shirlena Allen insists the Atlanta-born hitmaker’s new hairdo is all thanks to a wig she has yet to return to her.

In a furious email to Bossip.com, Allen spits, “The wig used and work (done) on the photo shoot, she (Ciara) doesn’t even want to pay me for it. She’s a year behind all of it. I ask for the wig back a year ago, she says she cant find it (sic).”

Ciara posted her new look on her Twitter.com page earlier this month, and Allen is demanding credit for creating the look.

The stylista also complains that she is still awaiting payment for her work on the singer’s image a year ago.

She adds, “We spent hours trying to find this child a look and she still bites… Now she looks like a knock off.”

Ciara is the latest modern day R&B star to trade in her flowing long weave mane in favor of a more cropped look.

“Here’s my new haircut by Kiyah Wright!:) we teamed up!:),” the “Oh” singer wrote in a message on her Twitter page late Friday.

What do you think of Ci-Ci’s new look?

After performing a cover of Michael Jackson’s “Heal The World” at the 2009 BET Awards, Ciara got emotional as she recalled the late King of Pop’s profound influence on her career.

Kristinia DeBarge and Ciara will open for Britney Spears when the pop tart brings The Circus Starring Britney Spears back to North American for a second leg this August.

Ciara opened up for Britney during her European tour, but it’s a new opportunity for Kristinia, whose single, “Goodbye,” peaked at number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart earlier this year. The 19-year-old from a musical family is the daughter of ‘80s pop star James DeBarge, former husband of Janet Jackson.

“Joining Britney Spears for her ‘Circus’ tour will be an amazing and surreal experience for me. I have been dreaming of an opportunity like this forever, and can’t wait,” the rising star said in a statement issued to BritneySpears.com on Wednesday.

The Circus Starring Britney Spears kicks off its second North American leg in Hamilton, Ontario on August 20.

Jay-Z and Ciara are planning a summer tour that will include stops in Las Vegas, Connecticut, Atlanta, and a handful of other North American cities.

News of the pairing first broke Monday night when Ciara revealed on her Twitter page: “I will say it because the information has been leaked. Me and Jay-Z will be doing a 10-city tour run together! More details coming soon! [sic]”

So far, stops are scheduled for July 3 and 4 at The Pearl at The Palms in Las Vegas, July 10 at Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut, and July 12 in Atlanta.

Ciara dropped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Wednesday for a live performance of her single “Love Sex Magic.”

Ciara’s third studio album, Fantasy Ride, is in stores today.

Ciara performed her single “Never Ever” on The Tonight Show on Monday, May 11.
