Photographed high above Gotham, Ashanti covers Page Six Magazine this week. The singer spoke on her “competition” and gave Rihanna some props.

“I’d hear a song on the radio and wish mine was next. But I respect a lot of the artists who’ve come along since I was out, especially Rihanna. She’s smart and she’s worked the business instead of having the business work her.”

Ashanti also spoke about some wedding plans…

“I’ve been planning my wedding in my head since I was a little girl, and it just keeps getting more elaborate. I’m a huge fan of the Caribbean, so if I don’t get married in New York, it would have to be on the beach.”

Rihanna was spotted out and about in NYC Wednesday night (sans Chris Brown) dining out at her favorite spot the Da Silvana restaurant in the West Village. She was spotted leaving the restaurant with BET personality Rocsi, dressed casually in jeans with a white sleeveless top/scarf combo.

After heading back and changing clothes, she came out in a very revealing black tank top and a Herve Leger bandage mini skirt in pink and silver. I could have sworn I saw her rock it in another color? Tianna?! lol…

POLITICS: OBAMA STEADY CAMPAIGNING / OBAMA DENOUNCES LUDA’S LYRICS / MCCAIN COMPARES OBAMA TO BRITNEY SPEARS

Thursday, July 31, 2008 |

Democratic presidential candidate, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., walks to greet two supporters holding a banner that says “Rednecks for Obama” at a campaign stop in Union, Missouri, Wednesday, July 30.

OBAMA DENOUNCES LUDA’S LYRICS

Ludacris, a strong supporter of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, has released a new song titled “Politics: Obama Is Here”.

However, Obama, who once said he had Ludacris in heavy rotation on his iPod, is not too happy with him. The song praises Obama, but bitterly attacks Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and John McCain. “Hillary hated on you, so that bitch is irrelevant,” say the lyrics. “McCain don’t belong in any chair unless he’s paralyzed.” Luda calls on voters to “paint the White House black” and adds that “Bush is mentally handicapped.”

The Obama campaign issued the following statement:

“As Barack Obama has said many, many times in the past, rap lyrics today too often perpetuate misogyny, materialism, and degrading images that he doesn’t want his daughters or any children exposed to. This song is not only outrageously offensive to Senator Clinton, Reverend Jackson, Senator McCain, and President Bush, it is offensive to all of us who are trying to raise our children with the values we hold dear. While Ludacris is a talented individual he should be ashamed of these lyrics.”
