MAG COVERS: ASHANTI COVERS PAGE SIX MAG / JIGGA COVERS VIBE MAG

Thursday, July 31, 2008

ashanti covers page six magazine

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.”

Much respect for Ms. Ashanti. She seems well grounded. And she does have a mainstream appeal and should continue to open those doors.

Ashanti and Nelly make a cute couple. I like her recent music videos with Nelly included.

Jay Z doesn’t look like a 38 year old, settled, and rich man on that Vibe cover. The pose is young and I’m not feeling it…..I’m not feeling it. (Just an opinion) : )

Wow Let The Haters Begin Did I Really Just Read Ashanti Saying She Like Rhianna Because She Not A Puppet Wow That Says Alot For People Who Sit At A Computer Desk All Day Bashing People Tighten The Hell Up! I Like Ashanti I’m Glad She Not That Close With The Inc Anymore Because She Really Showing She Doesn’t Need Them To Succeed She’s Look Cute Too…. Plus What’s Page Six? Never Heard Of It

And I’m Not Staring Anything I’m Just Making Sure Were All Reading The Same Thing!

aSHANTI looks fab for once not to say she has been lookin bad she jus was too dolled up like too much make-up and fancy fancy clothes and it didnt really fit her to me. This is a more classic look for her. She looks mature and ready for business and cute and chic!!! Loves it!!

Jigga man looks like u kno Hova!! U cant knock him hes married to B!! But he looks basic like he threw on a blk tee cap and rope chain and called it a day!!

Damn my boo Jay need some Carmax or a tub vaseline for them lips. I loves him tho I will be looking for the other 2 covers because I don’t want this one. Maybe he will have on a suit in the others.

Ashanti love the cover she looks young and refreshed I agree with her about Rihanna I am not a huge fan but slowly she is growing on me. She has managed to seperate herself from the pack and do something kind of different. Ashanti will be a beautiful bride.

rihanna is the biggest puppet in the industry. she went from island girl to good girl gone bad. if that’s not being fake and a pupett then i don’t know what is.

ashanti is way better than her. people hate on ashanti but dont say nothing about rihanna no talent nipple showing ass. at least ashanti can hold a note.

JAY-Z is THAT DUDE!!!!!!!!!!! He’s SO talented!

And I definitely agree with #32. Rhianna is a puppet and very talentLESS. She can’t hold a note, but is supposed to be the new “IT” girl…Honey Please! Get sum talent! And for the ones who say she doesnt need any talent - thats a lie - cuz she entered this biz as a singer….now if she entered as a model then i’d be singing a different tune!

lol Thanx For The @ 26 I Always Get That Mixed Up For Some Reason Maybe I’m Not Used To Saying Heath…. Um If Changing Up Your Style And Image Makes You A Puppet Wow! Shows You How You Been Stepping It Over The Years … That Deosnt Make Anybody Fake By Finding Themselves In This Crazy Music Industry Any And Every Artist Who Have Ever Been In This Industry Has Changed Up Their Style Even If Its Drastic Or Minor Growing Up And Being More Aware Of Yourself And Confidence Deosnt Make You A Puppet Or Fake It Make You Human People Fail To Realise Just Like You Work A Nine To Five Job And You Go Home And Actually Have A Life Outside Of Work Celebs Do To The Learn And Grow Just Like We Do … The Entertainment Industry Has A Way Of Showing You What You Really Are … Christina And Brittney For Instance Christina Went Through Her DIrrty Phase Earlier Than Brit And Look What Happened Chrissy Is Perfectly Normal And Thats Out Her System Brit On The Other Hand …. Like I Said If Your Going Bash People Be Logical Oh Yea Um This Post Had Nothing To With Rihanna Being Fake Or Puppet …. I Guess The [ARA] Anti Rihanna Association Is In The Building!

I have to say that though she may have got “worked by the industry” before she despite many who wish she hadn’t has stayed relative in the game. Granted she is not the best singer but she has taken strives and has mad leaps and bounds in improving her voice and range. Her writing skills are ridiculous and I think that has really saved her from going down. I congratulate her on her success. BTW I like the outfit.
Did Hova’s lips get bigger? - Whatever he’s still the man.

britney stole janet’s style (since her stage act resembles that most of Ms. Jackson)

#43 Did you buy Fefe Dobson’s album or support her career? I bet you had never heard of Fefe Dobson until you saw other people on the internet hating on Rihanna claiming she jacked Fefe’s style.
Dropping some knowledge on you now, Joan Jett and Belinda Carlisle had that style before Fefe existed.

@ GreatestLoveOfAll

LOL, Ashanti doesn’t need to ride high on a chart. She gets song writer money. So she gets paid either way (Besides, she’s not the only notable artist to have a moderate period in her career). The cover looks Good Ashanti. Album still in rotation. I give her props just for being honest, about her current status in the game right now (look closely at her statement), and for not bad mouthing the other females in the game (she’s never done that anyway though).

The Jay Z cover was a let down. What don’t we know about him already? And how could Bee look at his face every night? I’ll be the first to admit, I’m not America’s best beauty queen. But I darn sure ain’t no beast in the looks department either. But what do people see that’s so sexy or cute in Jay Z? I just don’t see it. Then again, I say the same thing about Monica, and her choice in men. Look at Rocko.

I Read Somehwere Somebody Said That Bee Has More Money Power And Fame Than Jay.. Um I Like Them Personally As A Couple They Mesh Well.. But Give That A Damn Break Jay Has Been Breaking Banks Since Before Bee Went Solo Not A Jayz Fan But Damn I Respect Each And Every Entrepreneur Hustle He’s Damn Near At Or Past Diddys Level He’s Just Not Any Asshole With His Money… And Please People Dont Go By The Forbes List Because #1 The List Changes Every years Beacuse Its On THAT Year 2# That’s How Much They Earned Before Taxes Eat Their Asses Up! 3# Its Gross Income AKA Rough Estimate Unless I See Bank Statements My Opinion Stands!

rihanna stans are a trip. everybody jacks from the legends but the difference between them and rihanna is that rihanna jacks from her peers. fefe dobson was one of her peers and she jacked everything from her haircut to her clothes. for that i will never respect rihanna. if fefe dobson was so irrelevant then her name would not be brought up on every rihanna topic. people know that that is where rihanna got her look from so obviously fefe dobson is relevant enough.

anyway ashanti looks good on the cover. dont worry girl you are way better than rihanna. she is not your competition. beyonce is.

jay looks good on the cover even though that is not his best pic.

#62 aka the rihanna stan.

Wth are you talking about. damn what the hell do Bey and Jay status have to do with anything? We all know Bey is more famous and successful and Jay has more money and that they were both successful way before they got together so we dont need no long ass paragraph about some bs you talking about. Worry about Rihanna and stay out of Jay and Bey bizz that you know nothing about. Bey got her own millions and you dont know why she with him so stop saying it’s his money like you know. You dont know a damn thang.

I Couldnt Look At Somebody For What?? 7+ Years And Not Have Love Them I Cant Stand Be Dudes Im Not Interested In For 7days Let Alone 7+yrs … Continuing My Statement Before Somebody Got Over Defensive for bee’s sake the mesh well together because she is pretty and him not so… theres a balance bee is bee she’s her own brand and ja is his own brand thats what i have ti like most about them their not going out starting businesses together if something happened wasting money splitting things.. ??? question do bee and jayz live together yet… after all this time that has never crossed my mind

fefe dobinson is not rhianna’s peer she was out like 8 years ago or more otherwise you can ask a ten year ago girl who is that and they’d be clueless let alone anyone who didnt watch mtv in the morning before they went to school

Don't Argue With Me It's Just An Opinion

Jay just seems to old for all of that {on the cover}. He looks like he’s trying to be a sixteen year old gangsta rapper.

Love Ashanti, but I don’t think she’ll ever be like a “fashionista” or anything. Her outfits never go beyond just “cute.” Don’t get me wrong though, I love her personality.

I actually think that photo of Ashanti looks very amature. It looks like one of her first photoshoots. At least she’s finally on a cover where she’s fully dressed. Every time I see her she’s always half naked on or in a magazine. I can’t stand Ashanti, no hate, and the only reason why she gave Rihanna props is because she feeds into all the hype that surrounds her. Just because Ashanti said that Rihanna makes her own decisions doesn’t change the fact that Rihanna is still manufactured. Ashanti was the same person who gave CASSIE, YES CASSIE PROPS!!! Can you believe that? I really could care less about her wedding but about damn time she’s planning on it because she’s been with Nelly for 5 YEARS!

Jay’s album cover looks amature as well and he looks so unattractive. When he’s dressed up the the big mogul he is in those expensive suits, he carries himself nicely, but here, he just looks a mess!
