SEAN COMBS - COMBS INSPIRES SINGER CIARA

SEAN 'P DIDDY' COMBS is inspiring R+B singer CIARA - who wants a career like the music mogul.

The GOODIES singer, 18, wants to combine the best qualities of the entrepreneurial rapper and 50-year-old American TV host OPRAH WINFREY in living a successful life.

Ciara says, "A combination of those two would be great. I'm going to emulate the careers of those who have gone before me."

As for working with MISSY ELLIOT on track 1, 2 STEP, she comments, "Missy wrote the song and just called me to record.

"I'm singing on the hook with her and on a verse. It's really good."
