Apparently, the folks over at Black Entertainment Television are not as supportive of Ciara's goodies as we thought. In June, her video for "Ride" -- which features the R&B diva grinding suggestively and riding a mechanical bull (in a wet t-shirt, no less) -- was banned by the network for being too hot for TV. (Were they sleeping when the video for "Love Sex Magic" was released?) Ciara is currently working on a video for the songs remix, featuring Andre 3000. This time, no bull.
