Ashanti and Nelly Get Cutesy+Celebs Party It Up
So I take back what I said about suspecting trouble in Ashellyland…kinda:
But these two looked too damn cute at the 27th b-day party Nelly threw for Ashanti the other night.
It went down at Cafe Dupri in the ATL a few days ago. Damn does JD own every restaurant/party spot in Atlanta or something? Must be nice…
I assume there was an 80’s baby theme. And I swear I thought that was LL all up on Shanti for a good 5 minutes.
Cute 80’s look.
Her celeb friends Katt WIlliams, JD, and Ne-Yo came out to party:

Fun times all around.
Speaking of JD, BUD Select hosted his party for the launch of his new book Young, Rich and Dangerous at Marquee last night:
His chick Janet was there to support of course. In the hottest Gucci boots of the season. I’m feeling that Ralph Lauren jacket too. Nice.
Gabby Union and Evan Ross came out to party. I know damn well Evan aint trying to holla at Gabby. He does have that sly look on his face though…
I aint seen these Boyz II Men dudes in a hot minute:
Nathan Morris and Shawn Stockton were there.
Quaddeus showed up.
So did Styles P.
Photogs: Johnny Nunez/Watts
And video chick/dancer Daphne Joy was there.
Can we focus on the fabulousness of women who are star athletes and still hold it down oh so ladylike?:
Dominique Dawes and Laila Ali looked fabulously hot at the Women’s Sports Foundation’s 28th Annual Salute to Women in Sports Awards Gala. It went down last night at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in the NYC.
Jackie Joyner Kersee was there too.
Photog:Mark Von Holden
And Laila brought along her hubby Curtis Conway. Fab.
Gabby also hosted the 7th Annual York “In Living Pink” benefiting the Young Survival Coalition last night:
Photog: Watts
Loves the dress.
Well looky here:
Gabriel was finally spotted with Halle at her Things We Lost in the Fire Hollywood premiere last night.
The baby bump is too cute.
She kicked it on the carpet with her costars Alexis Llewellyn and Micah Berry:
Photog: Cohen
Cute.
The Randomness:
- Christina Milian wants to hit the silver screen again in the movie version of the Justice League of America comic strip.

Nelly is starting to show how much he really loves his chick. Happy Birthday Ashanti!
The Boyz to Men members are cheeseball corny. They look like they work for UPS. Gabby is a stunner but she needs to get away from the Pocohantas weave for a spell.
That pic of Katt and Ne-yo is reppin Team Tang to the fullest!
Damn JD is a small man; yet a quiet and effective business man.
Halle is radiant.

Ashanti and Nelly are cute together. That party looked like it was just down home folks having a good time. And, she seemed like she was just cheesin’ all night! Good for her. She has no talent and she’s rich!! I’d smile, too!

Ashanti’s party looked cute and everybody doesnt need a high priced party or planner.
Janet has a boy shape in that outfit–broad shoulders no hips and ass
Gabby got a fresh weave
It looks like Evan Ross JUST woke up.

Ashanti- OK ghetto people, u need to take the cake out of the box.
Janet look like she’s about to compete in the steeplechase.
Evan Ross looks like a walking corpse. Him and Chudney need to take an extended vacay anywhere sunny.

Gabby needs a new weave or a touch up or something! Am I the only one that see’s that? Halle looks really pretty but get a new wig..please?
Dominique Dawes, damn she looks good! Janet is always shutting it down. She’s classy as hell now..I like that look. Ashanti looks really cute but I thought she was trying to release a new CD? She needs to get in shape doesn’t she?

glad natasha didn’t gush over gab in those first round of picks. not that she didn’t cute but the jelled/greesed brushed down side hair should serve as a reminder that she’s human like all of us…
and although i detest the use of the word ghetto as an adjective, i do agree that the cake should have been de-boxed, lol

Ashanti might need to cop jeans in her size next time. love the bangles.

First, I just want to say, I’m feeling Ashanti’s shoes. Fabulous!!!!!! I fully agree, just because you have a lot of money does not mean you have to spend a lot. You can still have a nice party without going broke. Nelly and Ashanti are a beautiful couple. I’m tried of hearing about Jay-z and Beyonce.

I think Ashanti party looked cool. Ya’ll diss celebs for having spending all their money on overly lavished parties then you diss them when they don’t. I am glad she is just happy with what she had and just loving her sexy man.

Ashanti and Nelly looked adorable and so happy. I like the throwback poses. Its good to see a black man make a sista smile from her heart like that.
Regarding the look of the I think this was party was want SHE wanted, which does not mean that over-the-top is better.

I loved the 80’s theme… HOT! Ashanti and Nelly looked like they enjoy each other’s company… Gabbie is so the “IT” girl truly fab!
Halle looks happy and I wish her nothing but happiness and joy with her new baby!
On Oct 16, 2007 | Reply | Quote
Gabrielle is such a bore IMO…I really don’t get her “celebrity”…She’s just a person standing in the scene reading lines..there’s nothing at all designing about her acting…uhh…”ability”…lol (Not to mention she’s so lame that I can visibly see the difference in her bleached face and her natural skin color everywhere else on her body)
Ashanti and nelly look cute together…and about her shoes…they’re cute but are you sure they’re new? I remember seeing yellow and black ones more than a year ago… Maybe they are…
In any event, they’re cute but I just can’t afford to indulge in such trendiness (because in a few months, everyone will profess to not being caught dead in those) I stick to primary colors so that they can have a bit of life beyond the season…

It seemed like the only person who had fun at Ashanti’s party was Ashanti. Everyone else looks bored and like they wish they were somewhere else.

So, when did Ashanti turn 26, I so lost track of her maybe Nelly and her need a reality or something cause they are totally off the radar

Ashanti and Nelly look great together. Black love is beautiful. Regardless what anyone may say about Ashanti being thicker, I am sure she’s still beautiful in Nelly’s eyes. Too, as long as she is happy within herself, it doesn’t matter what the world thinks (including the asinine posts by many here). Truly, while these are all opinions posted, we should be a bit more positive in our comments, especially in respect to the men and women our children idolize daily.
Let the celebs do their thing and enjoy their lives…we’ll keep making unwarranted posts and spending our money (sometimes going broke) trying to be like the same people we talk so badly about.
Oh, congrats to Halle; what’s up Gabby; and a big You Go Girl to Janet!

Hey, I got that same shirt Ashanti got on. Me and my sister got ours from Delia’s. Nice to see that a celebrity is wearing the same $12 shirt I got. Don’t have to spend a whole lot to be cute. Looks like she was having fun.

Did anyone else notice the heart-shaped, canary studded ring Ashanti was showing off in every picture….nice! Wonder if that was her b-day gift from Nelly? Not mad at them or the ’80s theme at all. If anything, I’m mad at those grocery store numeric candles on the cake! lol

The 80’s theme is HOT, really HOT

I heard on the radio yesterday that Nelle and Ashante aren’t even together anymore…The reporter said that Deelishus (from Flavor of Love) reportedly saw them on somebody’s red carpet taking pics and then after the pics were over, Nelle went back to his girlfriend…and it wasn’t Ashanti…and damn I didn’t realize she was 27!!!

the reason the ashanti party looks janky is because it is. cafe dupri is SUPER small and in an obscure place in atlanta, plus no one hardly goes there anyway!

c. gabi,
Actually that place stays packed with celebs and wannabees. You must be at somewhere else.

maybe that’s how the party was supposed to be. If it’s an 80s theme…you are not supposed to glamourize everything…you have to take it back to how it was before you had money. I would have preferred it that way, even if I did have money.
On Oct 17, 2007 | Reply | Quote
I’m really happy for Halle, I mean I do think it’s time to start her family, regardless who it’s with I guess he made her happy and feel so good, that a child is about to come about, for the losers she was with before, I’m glad that she didn’t conceive from them because she would have been stuck, but once again I’m glad for her!

I guess Nelly really do like her because, you have not heard or seen any dirt pop up yet regarding any groupies all in his mix!

I thought the party that Nelly threw for Ashanti this year was really sweet. Last year, and the yr b4 that, he threw beautiful , surprise, extravagant affairs for her birthday….with all the bells and whistles..With ‘A’ list celebs in attendence..he bought her a Benz..jewerly…etc.. This yr they just decided to chill, and have fun, and do a ghetto..80’s basement party thang…keep the cake in the box…dollar store candles, chessey ballons….etc…It just seems like they just wanted to have…..FUN !! And what in the hell is wrong with THAT ??
On Oct 18, 2007 | Reply | Quote
If that Deelishus, is truely serious about a career in this business, then one of the things she needs to learn is how to
’shut the f-uck’ UP !! Because you never know who you may need to work with, or who you have pissed off, flappin’ your mouth. Here she is, not even established in the game yet, and she’s ALREADY talkin’ s-hit about other celebs, whether it be true, or not. But she’s only got about 5 more minutes left anyway, I mean, come ON…..Flav rejected New York TWICE !!!..and she ended up with her own show….Deelishus was chosen, got dissed by Flav..and was left blowin’ in the breeze….y’all do the math !!
