Yeah, Lil Mama looks like she knows how to have lots of fun with the kids. She should have been giving out dance lessons too cuz that girl can move.
I heard Ashanti saying on 106&Park that she donated a dress to Planet Hollywood. Hope her album is fire cuz if its not Im not gonna buy it.
Good seeing Stevie Wonder out and about. He is such and inspiration to me. His music is the truth. Love him!

I really wanted to go to that concert I looked up the tickets last night and was like Sh*& today is the 18th. Is there any other way to donate to the MLK jr memorial. I sure it is. Does anyone know?
Where the heck was that kid party at yesterday? If definitely wasn’t in harlem. I see Asian kids and everything up in the back ground. Aint nothing wrong with that but you don’t see many Asians living in Harlem.

I know some may clown but you gotta give Lil Mama credit. She is trying to work it in the rap game as a female. She is trying to be a pop star, and I think there’s nothing wrong with that. She does look a little DAWN-ish (from Danity Kane) about the face. Thats not a good look… find a good makeup artist boo.

Open letter to lil mama..First…Lip gloss made you a one hit wonder..We get it..your career is over. Second…You are not a blonde barbie..your eyes are not blue..stop hanging out with avril (canadian idiot) levigne..neither of you really has much talent (see countless other singers who get by on style alone) Third..someone blew up the fact your aren’t a fan of men..ala alicia keys its ok..but if you are going to become irrelevant quickly in the industry you might as well do something that will get you remembered for having some originality..just openly come out and declare yourself.
Last but not least..the cheap wigs need to go..the fedora isn’t doing much of a job in covering the fact that a horse somewhere is jealous you are using synthetic hair…you’ve earned some money by now..holla at beyonce and mariah about the good kind of weave.

Hey filmgirl6 I believe go on tvoneonline.com they still should have a link. They always show the commercial about donating to the MLK memorial.
Ashanti is a happy person. You hardly ever see her sad.. She has a good spirit.
Cant wait to see Lil Mama all grown up get out of her tom boyish stage.. I know she is going to be to cute…..

I tried to get tickets to that concert and now I know why the hell they were sooo expensive…$250 for a back row seat…puhleezze! I would love to donate though and I really wanted to see Joss Stone perform…that girl got a voice on her.
Leave Lil Mama alone! She rough on the edges but she’s positive and thats what we need as an alternative to 17-year-old “Super Soak that Ho! Soulja Boy

What’s funny is that I don’t know which of these “celebrities” were invited as opposed to the ones that came of their own volition, but if I’d had a gun to my head and had to guess which caucasian celebrities would come to a Martin Luther King Benefit, the lineup that attended looks about right. Lol, so predictable. All the whites that bloodsuck off of black popular culture showed up to commemorate the man that helped enable them to do so. What’s also funny, in my opinion, is that if Martin Luther King were alive today, I believe that he’d be diametrically opposed to the doctrine that he was seduced into teaching black people.

@40
girl you know about fashion
Its not so much matching these days, its contrasting and silver grey and yellow are
two colors that contrasts beautifully.
I really think ashanti dresses better than beyonce.
Is kirk franklin wife preggos?

I understand 100% what you’re saying. But I think the black accents & accessories kill it for me. Maybe the gray dress, with the silver accents & some other yellow pumps or heels (I’m not feeling those too much…they look to Charlotte Rousse/Wet Seal for my tastes).
That would make the outfit pop & be daring & fashion forward.

Atleast Lil Mama trying to send a positive message out to young girls that you don’t have to look or act like a stank to get famous.
@28 she’s not in this industry for men.
Ashanti looking fierce. We know you have a pretty smile but you can smile with your mouth close too.
Keri Washington is cute, that’s it.
Kirk Franklin and his wife look nice.
Great event atleast they’re celebrating a great man.

Ashanti….please, please, pleeeeeeeese leave!
I was just wondering how with now over 35 years of “b-boy” hip hop names that have been coined, how in the hell did “Lil Moma” manage to evade us for so long? We all know a “lil moma” in our families and or neighborhood. But like out of nowhere, this chick shows up and the name is like “BAM!” free for the taking. I guess with the Lil Kim’s, Lil Mo’s, LIl Me’s and the Lil U’s, Lil Moma didn’t cross anyones minds. Good for you Lil Moma!
Kirk? I’m just saying cat, you look like you took more time getting ready than your lovely wife.
John Legend, killing them like always brother. You stole my style, I swear you did. lol
Stevie, good to see you out too my brother.

Of course lil mama is not in the game for men…But at least be more brave than these closet rappers and make a difference..the facts in regards to that are in the open..she’s just too irrelevant for it to be discussed yet. Look i’m not knocking her one hit wonder career…all i’m saying is what else can she do now..but a bunch of features..drop an album flop and go away..why shouldn’t she come out and make all these ppl scared to come out feel like damn…she did..I could too…is all i’m saying….before we can go forward as a society we must deal with what’s relevant here and now and realistically that would probably give her another 15 much needed minutes…

It is so many hater in da world it’s sad. People can’t find anything else to do so they get on these sites and make these stupid comments. To all the hater Ashanti looks great, a whole lot better than I’m sure most of you do. If you don’t like her new single then don’t listen to it, it’s just that simple people. I’m not even a huge Ashanti fan but I’m not a hater either, (Ashanti you looks great keep doing your thing and f*** all the hater).

Don’t you have that same option with our blogs? Aren’t you in fact hating on the “haters”? If you like what she’s wearing say that. If you like her new cd, buy it and listen to it, but if we don’t we can say that too right? And we don’t need your permission do we? Good.

ok..sooo…is the fact that Ashanti is doing all this public stuff a sign that she got the memo that people have been wondering what rock she’s been living under? and if so, has it also prompted her to wear the most vomit inducing outfits?–somebody enlighten me…please…

@ insiderz for both comments. why did’nt you just say that in the first place instead of totally dissing the girl. why don’t you see the positive that she is doing instead of the negative. does who she hangs out with or her wigs really matter? or does the fact that she is taking time out to do something positive for kids matter?

Well , instead of donating for a memorial, why not do something positive with the money raised, and fulfill King’s real dream. Take the money , and start a charity that would enpower the black community, like a clinic, library. But, to allocate funds for a memorial, how is that beneficial to his legacy?
BTW: I refuse to wear black concerning Jena 6, because instead of doing that, why don’t these so called activists , push black folks into getting into college, making positive strides in the community, voter registration, and AIDS, and drug awareness. And building up our own communities so that we won’t have to bus our children into communities that has a history of racial violence.
