Ashanti Gets into Tourism

Sure, she’s sold a ton of albums and sold out concerts all over the world, but that’s not enough for Ashanti.  Her latest venture is in the realm of tourism.

The “Mesmerize” songstress was spotted yesterday at the launch event for Nassau county’s new tourism campaign.  Being that she’s originally from Long Island, it seemed fitting that she was chosen to become one of nine new ambassadors for the initiative.

2008 ESPY Awards Rock Los Angeles

The Nokia Theatre in downtown Los Angeles, California was brimming over with celebrity presence as ESPN held their annual ESPY Awards last night (they’ll air this Sunday at 9pm).

And who better than the “SexyBack” man himself, Justin Timberlake (who also performed a Rock Opera montage onstage), to host the night, with multiple wins by Tiger Woods, including Male Athlete of the Year, Best Golfer, and Best Championship Performance.

2008 BET Awards Rock LA

Every year the BET Awards is an event to behold.  And last night there was plenty of pomp and circumstance, as well as a plethora of memorable performances.

Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium was packed to its 6,300-seat capacity as musical acts from the past joined today’s hottest performers for some noteworthy collaborations.  For instance, Alicia Keys performed “Weak” with SWV, “Hold On” with En Vogue, and “Waterfalls” with Tionne ‘T-Boz’ Watkins and Rozonda “Chili” Thomas from TLC.

Nelly and Ashanti: BET Royalty

Years before the whole Rihanna/Chris Brown hookup, there was another hip hop couple making headlines - Nelly and Ashanti.  And at last night’s pre-BET Awards dinner they were looking as hot as ever.

The “Hot in Herre” stud and his “Foolish” gal showed up at Los Angeles hot spot Vibiana looking top-notch.  He was sporting a dark suit with a white striped button-up shirt, while she rocked a strapless magenta embroidered floor-length gown.

AMA Fashion Was Top-Notch

The Nokia Theater in Los Angeles, California was the place to be last night.  And it all started with an amazing display of fashion on the red carpet.

Stars including Vanessa Hudgens, Rihanna, Kellie Pickler and Miley Cyrus showed off a variety of hot looks, posing for the cameras as they strode down the red carpet.
