Somebody forgot to tell Oprah Ashanti is done How the Hell did she get an invite to Oprah's Legends Ball? Ashanti is a cutie pie, no doubt, but talk about sticking out like a sore thumb. I guess Beyonce was busy, well good for Ashanti. | |

Ashanti really has used up her 15minutes of fame-she has no talent whatsoever  . | |

nurse said: Ashanti really has used up her 15minutes of fame-she has no talent whatsoever Agreed! She's is a very average singer who wouldn't even get invited to Hollywood if she auditioned for American Idol. Ashanti lucked out when she hooked up with Murder Inc and Ja Rule (Another has been).. | |

Ashanti..yeah there were better candidates...I wudda chose Meshell, or Erykah Badu..even Jill Scott But think about who probably helped to the booking for this - her show producers? Her other 50 year old friends? They probably wouldn't think of MeShell/Erykah/Jill unless they were in mags & on tv every 5 minutes. Unfortunately, Ashanti keeps her stale ass in the mags - I don't know how she still gets invited to parties 
& I'm hoping Lena Horne was indeed invited, be a damn shame to have her forgotten...  I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

If I remember this correctly, this little shindig took place last summer, so this is really old news. I remember seeing clips of this on Oprah's daytime show, so I probably didn't miss anything by watching the finale of 24. Even so, Ashanti was already a has-been when this took place, so I'm not sure why she was invited to this in the first place. I know Tom Cruise and John Travolta are dear personal friends of Oprah, but if this was supposed to be about honoring legendary black females, why were these guys here? Well, at least Tom Cruise didn't jump on the table in front of Maya Angelou.  | |

Cruise and Travolta can't honor legendary black women? but more to the point, if it gets them both in the same place long enough for some natural disaster to strike and take them both out in one fell swoop, i'm all for it. | |

I recorded it, so I'll watch it later to see what she was going on about. On her show she kept hyping this up to be so great....I'll see for myself later. looking for you in the woods tonight Switch FC SW-2874-2863-4789 (Rum&Coke) | |
