Apr 17 2006Ashanti loses her cousin
Ashanti cancelled a performance in Johannesburg, South Africa, on Saturday after her 20-year-old cousin and personal assistant were killed by a drunken teen driver.
Police said that Quinshae Snead, known as Quin, was en route to Ashanti's hotel on an errand before Saturday's concert when the car she was riding in was rear-ended. “Her body was thrown into the oncoming lane, where it was hit by another vehicle,” said West Rand police spokesperson Solomon Sibiya.
My condolences to Ashanti and her family, but there's a simple way to prevent being thrown from your car into oncoming traffic. It's called a rope. Just tie it around yourself and the steering wheel and you're good to go.
Seriously though, wear your fucking seat belts people.
Feb 13 2006Ashanti is thin
If I recall correctly, Ashanti used to be pretty damn hot. You know what else is hot? - burritos, which Ashanti has apparently been eating by the bucketload. I've never tried to squeeze a bowling ball into a sandwich bag, and this is why. She doesn't look terrible, but there's a time and a place for outfits like that. The time is Opening Day, and the place is the circus.
Jul 22 2005Ashanti breached contract
A federal jury concluded yesterday that Ashanti owes $630,000 to her first producer for breach of contract. Ashanti testified during the four-day trial that Parker did not live up to the terms of their deal as he helped her create music in a home studio that was so crude she sang in the bathroom. Ashanti's lawyer, Harry Stokes, said Ashanti was disappointed and the verdict would be appealed.
I don't really see what the big deal here is. First of all, Ashanti has way more than $630,000 so she should just pay the guy now and then hire a hitman to get it all back later. Secondly, singing in the bathroom is totally awesome, because if you want to take a dump while in the middle of recording you can just sit down and not have to walk anywhere. I tried doing that in my living room once, but the couch just ended up a huge mess. I don't know if you know this, but leather and feces do not mix.

I don't care much for her music (everything she does sounds like backup), but these photos of Ashanti are admittedly hot. I normally frown upon all the bling bling, with the personalized visor and dangling gold chains, but Ashanti pulls the whole thing off. Plus, her choice in shorts is totally fine by me. If you're going to wear shorts, you might as well make them the shortest damn shorts in the world. Now if only somebody could explain why she's sweating like a damn maniac.

How did this ugly crackwhore of a woman win American Idol? Not that anybody gives a shit about that piece of shit show, but it seems weird that this girl won. Not only does she not look like an American Idol/pop star, but she looks like she belongs on the cover of Crackwhore Magazine. Did I mention that she looks like a crackwhore? I vote that she be kicked out of her position and that Tyra Banks be named the next American Idol. Hell, when you look as good as Tyra Banks, it doesn't even matter whether or not you can sing. Just look at Britney Spears. All it takes is a little ass shaking and cleavage showing and you're in. Good ol' America never disappoints when it comes to being superficial. Then again, Tyra did try her hand at the whole singing game and it hasn't exactly turned out as well as she probably would have hoped. I believe 'sucking ass' wasn't really the genre she was shooting for.
