I like the dark meat, but not that much of it.

I was at Starbuck's in LaGuardia a couple years ago and this little chubby plain-looking black girl in front of me didn't have any money for her latte. Rather than wait any longer, I sprung for her $4 drink. She thanked me and said, "I'm sorry. My bodyguard went to the bathroom and has all my money." Bodyguard? Next thing I know two cashiers from the Healthy Nuts place were asking Ashanti for her autograph. She's never been hot. Just airbrushed.

The backing dancer behind her is SO checking out her arse.

I'm confused. You write a paragraph about Ashanti but you include a very obvious picture of a transvestite at a drag revue. There is no doubt in my mind that the "woman" in this picture has testicles and a penis taped up against her anus. I'm not laughing. I'm puking at my desk.

Mmmm...celulite is SO hot...

First Janet, now this. Life is OFFICIALLY worth living again. :D

It's tranny-saurus rex.

"She's never been hot, just airbrushed."

Eastboundanddown - I couldn't agree more. That's the reality of a vast majority of "celebs" as well.

Her leg looks like a brisket. Great, now I'm hungry.

She does look quite fat but I'd still shagg her any day of the week.

All I have to say is this:

#10 - ew ew ew - that is not seriously her, is it? whoa.

I am not a fan of hers... but that picture has definitely been altered. Maybe she is fat now, but the photo is bogus. Look at the shadin around the arms... c'mon. Amateurs did this!

#10: Wow, GOD makeup is a miracle. I only use it so my eyes don't look so tired and dull. Stars use it for a whole new face! I want to see others w/no makeup.

Is that hot butter dripping down the inside left leg out of her pants?

compared to a lot of people she isnt even that fat. its a bad angle and an inappropriate outfit for her size. take mariah carey, for example. by squeezing herself into tiny tight dresses she looks fat and cheap. yet if she wore something more appropriate, she would look lovely.

I think Ashanti looks fantastic. You people are too hard to please. No celebrity is flawless. Britney is fat because she's a size 6? Nicole is anorexic because she's a 0? Okay well there I agree ... But look at Ashanti's other leg. It's toned and shaped quite nicely. Her stomach is flat, and you know would kill for those arms. I am glad she is shaped like a natural woman instead of a diving board.

'I'm glad she is shaped like a natural woman instead of a diving board'

That's one pool I won't be diving off Lindsay Lohan into...

Thank you # 16. I was waiting to see which jack-ass would be the first to step up and defend the celebrity. Try and remember which website you are on.

Wait...no one has said it yet...

I'd hit that...

Wait...no I wouldn't.

Again to # 16,

Fucking hilarious post on the Clay Aiken page. That's the kind of post I expect from you!!

#10 - I think that first photo is a very lifelike self-portrait of Frida Kahlo, not Ashanti

marissa brown, bka # 10, I LOVE YOU.
YOU ARE MY HERO.

"toned and shaped quite nicely"? In no alternative universe is that blob of humanity nicely shaped. Not even in the alternative universe that encompasses Britney Spears. She. is. just. Yuck.

I believe that the Superficial is a blog of bad pictures of otherwise beautiful women.

Martin Lawrence was so good in Big Momma's House 2...oh wait, that's...not...him.

So that's where Ja Rule went......her thighs.

No I believe it is more of a blog of pictures of celebrities not airbrushed and staged to within an inch of their lives.

to post number 10 the person on the left really looks like her dancer in this pic

http://www.concertshots.com/May%2003%20Images/cs-Ashanti5-Atlanta5403.JPG

lol... and he's butt ugly... I dont like Ashanti... the only thing she can write or sing is " oh baby baby baby" over and over and over and over again... her voice is just blah and she really isn't that pretty...

What's with the Elasti girl dancer behind her? Look at her left hand. Mathematically, her arm is 17 feet long...................And you still can't see it behind Ashanti...

She just gained a little weight

leave her alone

This Superficial post doesn't count - the Photoshop job on that picture is much too obvious to even be debated.

The before/after make-up photos are a different thing all together...

Uh-oh!

It's definitely ashanti, at least when I saw some more pics on gettyimages. There's another pick with her standing with two dancers and you can see her jumbo thighs.

She looks a lot bigger than she has been in videos.

I think this is the janet jackson syndrome. Get really fat, then go crazy and take off the weight later. Hopefully.

If it wasn't for the title of the thread, I'd swear that was Latoya Jackson

this is poster number 10 - to post number 28, it's definitely her in the makeup shot, she has the same nose and smile and everything.

Ashanti has never really been cute, but I do think her butt id quite flat, leg a little celulitey ... anyway, she just looks normal - I don't see her being fat at all.

THATS A HUGE BITCH!!

hahahha, na she could be worse, but still - Ashanti you look disusting. I've seen transvestite Prostitutes in the East Village that look better than that!!

Ashanti's so fat- when she rubs her thighs together, i swear, i smell bacon!

Ooooh SNAP!

Of course she looks smaller in videos. The wonders of modern TV could make ANYONE look smaller. Haven't you ever seen Mariah's video for "We belong together"? They make her look super hot. And thin.

Ashanti does look tranny in those pics. SHe's a short girl, too. So I'm sure that doesn't help if she put on some weight.

oh, the thighs

Thanks #8, now I'm hungry too! Mmmmmm...brisket

Time to step away from the burritos, Ms. Ashanti. I know we Sisters are known for being thick, but you can't pull it off like Beyonce can.

http://viking.necrolounge.com/archives/20041130_ashanti1.jpg

Haha fat? maybe now,nobodys perfect.And her fat thighs gives her an perfect apple bottom.1 week in a gym and shes back like that.Super hot that means.:)

Forget the arguement about whether she's fat or not. I'm still trying to get over The Superficial claiming Ashanti used to be hot?. When was this?. I guess I must have been in a coma or drugged up when this was happening.

I think I'll still stick to the picture by in post 10. Yep, that's the Ashanti I know and loathe.

#10 scared me so much that my anus bit down and won't let up .. I may never be able to poo again =( thanks a lot

I love it when these hot celebs start looking like the rest of us fat asses! Makes me feel better about myself, and hey isn't that all that really matters.

My granny has the same bathing suit!

#41, if that's what superhot looks like, I'd hate to see superfugly...

That was absolutely disgusting!!!

wait, who is that, Venus or Serena Williams ?

BAHAHHAHAHA! Holly, I love you, too. You, Papa, and me, baby... VEGAS YEAH. Superficial Manage-Your-Toys, you two. That shit about what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas... good thing too.

As for the poster that says her other thigh looks toned, well, maybe for a T-day feast. It only doesn't look as bad because cellulite doesn't appear on the outside of your leg until you get like really super-overweight. Even Mariah doesn't have it on the outside of her thighs.

I'm down for Vegas, anytime.

#44

believe it or not but celebrities look worse than us "real" people ALL THE TIME! they dont just start looking bad they always have. Its the make-up hun!

She's on the new Serena Williams blow up tour.

Did someone say something about brisket in Las Vegas ?

as for those questioning the validity of the pic...there's THIS:

http://goldenfiddle.com/image/view/2494/_original

four more juicy angles with the same, um, swimsuit?....yum!

Indescribable... Indestructible! Nothing Can Stop It! It crawls.... It creeps.... It eats you alive! It is...The Blob!!!

54 just cleared everything up with those pics. She's not fat; she's got a camel hidden in her suit. You can tell because its toe is sticking out.

Nice try, camel smuggler.

I don't think it's so much her body as it is her clothes.. She wouldn't look so bad if that top didn't make her look pregnant and if she wasn't wearing my friend's little sister's gym shorts...

Thanks #54 for the shots of her cooter-cleavage. Classy!

#54- the tears of laughter just made my day. Camel toe....*shudders*

In response to #10 - she looks like M. Night Shyamalan
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0796117/

In response to #18 PapaHotNuts - "All hail to thee"

I think her and Mariah Carey share the same stylist. "Oh, yeah, you and Mariah are the same size, but this would look better on you." and vice versa.

how unsexy is she trying to be.
for real.

What they failed to tell us is that right after this pic was taken she fell off the stage and broke a leg and gravy came pouring out..... mmmm gravy!!!!

All these celebrities must have magic mirrors that show them what they looked like in 1999.

Party like it's 1999.

# 14, I think it's bacon grease.

She looks fine. Most women can't even get legs like that. On the other hand, #10 - that picture can't really be her. It looks too masculine. That unibrow is

She used to be a butterface (ya know everythings good but her face,) now she's a butter....uh..everything.

mmmm....

STOP POSTING THE PICTURES!!! I"m going to have Rick James nightmares FOREVER! (That IS Rick James, isn't it?)

OK, so that is hilarious! Of course she's under public scrutiny, she's a celebrity. She makes a lot of money and needs to be brought down somehow. I'm about the same size as her, but my fat ass won't be up on stage in that.

And, Papa Hot Nuts, if the date at Mel's bowling alley doesn't work out, will you marry me? I swear I can cook and clean.

Is this picture from the recent Market America conference in Miami? If so, I was there and saw her performing as well as saw her at an after party. She's really actually quite pretty in person, and toned too, but she does suffer from having a curvy body with big thighs. Definitely not fat or ugly though.

1. Yes the outfit is hideous and stragnge.
2. Yes, she has cellulite, like most women over a certain age. (If you don't know that, you have not been with a woman in a long time or ever. Get a friggin' date.)
3. But wait. Look at her other leg (left leg.) It's muscular, but not fat. Not the same thing. If you can't tell the difference, you're a wimpy man with no muscles and no women.
4. This site is kind of racist when it comes to black women (except for Halle because her features and body look so white.). It always goes overboard with saying how fat they are. I think that the people who run this site, and most people on it, think black women are ugly, and they take any opportunity to go overboard with talking how fat they are just to justify how they feel. They're not fat. They're just not anorexic like the white celebrity ideal. Guess what? "Not white, and not thin" doesn't mean ugly.
5. Ashanti has never been beautiful, but she's not huge or ugly. She's just a cute girl who put on a little weight. Not a crime. Being some loser asshole who can't get laid, but sits around trashing any woman who isn't perfect. Now that' a crime. And it's very, very ugly.
6. Let's be real. There' not a man on this site who could even get into the same room with Ashanti, much less her pants. You're just not cute enough. You're losers. Take a picture of yourselves sitting around all alone at your computer, bitching about a woman's cellulite like a bunch of catty old bitties. Now that would be a great picture.

i think that is gary coleman.

PhDiva (#71) is clearly star jones.

#71 hwwaaa whaa whaa: white noise and whistling - did someone leave an untuned radio on somewhere?

I quite like those meaty thighs myself - she looks like a pro wrestler. Who's The Daddy!

Thanks for clearing that up PhDiva ... now go back to writing for the Dr. Phil show

Awesome #71 You nailed it!!

Papa's nuts look pretty cold and saggy to me ROTFLMAO.

meh, she's not fat, she just has black girl's thighs. and a black girl's camel hump

The friction when those thighs rub together must give her a rash. And for the last time DuckBoy, if you dont like the site, get the f off of it. I am sick of hearing you defend these people. It is the SUPERFICIAL you freak. Go spread your warm fuzzies elsewhere, volunteer at a soup kitchen, help old ladies across the street, spread your sunshine somewhere else. Beat it.

I believe eyespy called it, STAR! Or maybe Sip was kinda right, too, and PHDiva (pretty sure PH doesn't stand for pretty hot) is some amalgam of Star Jones, DuckBoy, and Dr. Phil.

When will people realize the whole premise of this website is laid out by the title itself: The SUPERFICIAL. I think we need to make a website called The Genuine, or something similar, so they can all sit around and talk about how great all these celebs are with their too much money, not enough sense mentality.

I have no problem with overweight anyone- until they decide to 'stuff a bowling ball into a sammich bag' as the Sup put it. I'm all for camouflage, if you know what I mean. Just 'cause you got it, and sometimes way too much of it, doesn't mean you're required to flaunt it.

Ya know what pisses me off? Well, I'll tell ya. It's when you see engenue artists come out, looking all kinds of thin and fit, then they start to make a little dough and then they become a little doughy. I mean wha tha fuck? But her outer thigh looks nice.

I always say that when I win the lotto (and I will you know), I'm gonna spend a year going to the gym because now I'll have time to be the goddess that I was always destined to be. Lazy fucking slags!

#18 PAPA to the rescue

When are the #71's and #16's going to fing their own page and call it "Happy Fuzzies and Rainbows of Love and Compassion" errrr, bleeehch!!!! sorry I just puked. I've never thought that chick was either good looking or a good singer. Her and that fucking gross pig Lil Kim.

Oh and HookEMHorns, you gotta warn a person when you're puttin pics like that up. That outfit is hideous.

You would think with all her money she could afford a personal trainer and live in cook...guess she prefers Macdonald's and being lazy..

Why do black women wear such outlandish wigs?

Hey PhDiva,
Some of your arguments have some validity. Still, this is The Superficial, do you know the definition? If you're not busy bitching, I will tell you: pertaining to a surface. That is what this site is all about. Go petition for women's rights for N.O.W., Lifetime Network, or Capitol Hill.

#84. RE: Black woman and wigs. Umm, have you ever seen, umm....Jessica Simpson? Or Jennifer Love Hewitt? Or practically every White starlet that shows up for the opening of an envelope just to be seen on a red carpet? To clarify, they're most likely not sporting full-out wigs. Probably just weaves or extensions. Being superficial I get. Being ignorant and racist, I don't.

Natural woman? Since when do natural women look like a huge sausage in a tiny tutu?

And to PHdiva: Lady what's wrong with you? Like PapaHotNuts said, this is a SUPERFICIAL site. I am a woman and if that's normal then I must be beauty queen.

1. Hermanita. Don't worry, I think we can safely assume that you are not a beauty queen.

2. I live in L.A. so I know exactly how shallow and overvalued celebrities and their millions of wannabees can be. Yes, they do sometimes deserve to be trashed, but I think when people start trashing black women and all women over a size 2, it stops being about mocking spoiled celebrities and starts being about racism and sexism. Celebrities deserve the ribbing, entire groups of people, don't, especially not by people on a silly web site.

3. I do have too much education to waste my time on a site like this with people who haven't read a book since high school, so I deserve a little moaning from morons. In fact, some of the insults about me were kind of funny.

4. But the bottom line is no matter how much you trash Ashanti (who really is too dull to deserve this much attention) or me or whomever else you hate, most of the people on this site will still be losers who can't get laid. And I think that's really, really funny.

Hey PhDiva,
I understand your comments about racism, but this is the Superficial. Don't read the comments or the website. As a graduate of the Thayer School of Biomedical Engineering at Dartmouth College, I guess I'm a moron. Tell me, what is your opinion on design and analysis of orthopedic prostheses; design and metallurgy of porous-metal-coated implants; and study of implant/host interfaces? I could really use your expertise, since you have your Ph.D.

PH Diva, don't let the door hit you in the ass...oh, excuse me is that sexist...I mean your culo.

Hermanita, that tutu remark was great.

And Ashanti really needs to rethink her color choices. That looks like a bathing suit my gramma used to wear. Wait she still has it.

I love metallurgy.

I think anyone who wore this outfit would look bad, including Nicole Richie, actually it might fall to the floor in her case. I bet Ashanti is just your average sized woman who doesn't weigh 100 lbs like most of those Barbie dolls. So I don't see the big deal, except it is an ugly outfit that you really don't have a good side to look at.

You people make me sick to my stomach...reading all these dumb ass comments made me realize that there are some really sick people in this world. While you all are judging everyone else why dont you stick a picture of your self on the web-have others criticize you- and we will see how close to perfect you are!!!!
