Gabrielle and her fam...CUTE!!!!! Kim looks amazing! Get it gurl!!!! Why does beverly johnson have to try to compete with Tyra? She needs to stay true to her age and her owm natural beauty. Black women, stop wearing weaves and blonding your hair!!! Serena is killing it in the new Ebony mag. Follow suit!!!! Wash and set is the ONLY way to go

[quote comment="111697"]What you talkin about Willis....didn't Gary just get a divorce or something... Hell Ashanti, I would be in the studio with Nelly all night too. But the only music we would be making is BANG BANG BANG....lol[/quote] HAHAHA! Gotta get that Friday movie reference in.

"Always keeping his pimp game tight in that all blue ensemble I tell ya." haha, you are so wrong for that!

[quote comment="111704"]BEVERLY DOES LOOK NICE BUT JUST CAUSE SHE HAS HER OWN HAIR LINE DOES NOT MEAN SHE TO WEAR ALL SHE HAS IN STOCK LOOKING LIKE COUSIN IT! LISA LOOKS LIKE SHE PUT ON A SHOWER CURTAIN WITH THE TIE TO MATCH.[/quote] LMA)!!!! Beverly Johnson looks a hot mess to me. To much hair, makeup and that dress is not the most becoming thing I've seen her wear, I'm sorry I'm just not feeling that outfit on her. Vanessa (Love her) but dang she needs a Dr. Miracle on them edges! Alert....Alert...Stop the Weave and Wigs..Dang can we someone with there own hair for a change.

Cuttino looks a scary Gay Gray mess. A true silver fox (snap for the kids). I love beverly but why does she look like someone's auntie that is dressin a little to sexy for her own good?

vanessa vanessa vanessa. Just killin it every single damn time.

[quote comment="111742"]yall are haters lol.leave shanti alone. she is not a crackhead or slut, she doesn't dress inappropriatly, and she surrounds herself with family. at least she acts like a black women and doesn't hate her blackness like beyonce[/quote] This comment is so ignorant and this explains why Ashanti is struggling in music. She has the dumbest most hateful stans. What the hell does Beyonce have to do with this topic and how does she hate her blackness? Please sit down somewhere. If Beyonce hates her blackness, then Ashanti must hate her blackness too b/c she has blonde hair and sings and dances just like Beyonce does. Just because Beyonce has a better career than Ashanti don't mean you have to bring her name up and hate on her when she is doing her thang.There is room for everyone and its dumb stans like you who make people not like Ashanti and these other artists. To everyone else: Sorry if this turns into another Beyonce battle but remember that the Ashanti stan started it.LOL

This event was full-on charade mode [curtosey of team asshanti] and this was one of the many run-ins where they posed for pics together for the sake of "publicity" Look at the pictures, neither of them, especially Nelly looks happy. She looks desperate and unfortunately, she continues to prove just how desperate she is! Doing interviews on your psuedo-relationship with a tabloid mag. She's taken desperation and no-tact to a new level! You are officially no longer an "entertainer" to be taken seriously! Alicia, Beyonce, not even Lindsey would do an interview with the tabs and answer questions about their relationships.

For the simple fact, that you are writing essays and story books, on a woman who is living her own life, and not thinking about what YOU have to say about it. It seems you are the one with the issue. Her career, business, and relationship, should not bother YOU this much. Why don't you call Ms. Ashanti up and tell her this. Since it seems so important to you. Otherwise, you're just blowing hot air on a blog.[/quote] sugar plums..i told you all that I'm developing my talk show to counsel misguided women (specifically black women) since i've always thought of myself as one..LOL!

i'd love to see garcelle's twins as they grow. i have a feeling they will be saying " no really we are part black.. really" their whole lives. That is some strong dna on her husbands part!

Small minded people talk about people Average minded people talk about events Great minded people talk about ideals...just wanted to share a little sometime!

Love Ashanti and Nelly!!

Ashanti and Nelly looks good 2-gether. Homegirls twins are to cute... Lisa raye is always fitted and looking nice. Gary Coleman (yawn). All I can think of is Arnold and Willis.

Loved everyone except Ashanti and Gary Coleman! Ha! Why so many ashanti posts as of late. She's extememly bogus!!!

[quote comment="111719"]All of these entertainers are "ghetto girls" trying HARD to act "FAB". "FAB" is all in the company you keep (fam,friends,etc.) I can guarantee that most who think they are the epitome of Fab are SO NOT!. Its all in the company you keep, and the things you are exposed 2 . ASHANTI has potential , so leave her alone!!! :)[/quote] Ashanti has no potential. She has already proved that she is missing the "IT" factor and she lacks class. She can't even speak properly. It makes me cringe every time she opens her mouth. It's an embarrassment how poorly she speaks. Read the interview here; I know 8yr olds who speak better and more concisely than that.

Ashanti always cacklin. Garcelle's twins are too cute! Dont like LisaRaye's dress. Why Cuttino lookin like somebody's old dad or in-shape granddad w/ the gray beard? Poor Gary, can never seem to get right...

Is it just me, or does Kim Whitley look like she could be Deelishis' (from Flavor of Love 2) momma?!?

I am not a fan of Ashanti's music, but I do remember seeing a MTV special on her back in the day where they chronicled her life. She is from a middle class background and was well-raised.

Please give me a year, date, time, second and the name of the interviewer. Please. Beyonce is one of the most inarticulate, bama-speaking( not Southern), lost in mid-thought chicks I have seen in a long time. Thank God she is pretty.

All the ladies look so pretty, the kids are cute, Blair is fine, I didn't know Ashanti had a clothing line; it's funny b/c when HOD launched Beyonce said it was going to be classy and sassy and not to trashy, lol, what a co-inki-dink.

So I don't get where this whole ghetto trying to fit in thing came from. Besides, what's so special about being from the ghetto anyway? Trust me, I know I'm from the hood myself. It's not like it's badge of honor or anything. For the record, you can come from money or a middle class background, and be just as ghetto and loud mouth as the chicks from the hood. Money can't buy you class. There's plenty of chicks from the hood, who are well spoken and educated. I think a lot of people have misconceptions of what these "labels' are.
