MTV.com posted this Fun Article on there Website today:

MTV.COM: Guys, we need to talk about Ashanti. We spotted her sporting a mesh ensemble not once, not twice, but three times in a row this week. Not only are we a little unsure as to why she can’t stop sporting the sheer stuff in the middle of winter, but we’re worried we might have to stage an intervention. On Sunday, we spotted her backstage at the NYFW Falguni & Shane Peacock fall show wearing a barely there Pocahontas-inspired ensemble by the designer. And when we say “barely there,” we basically mean that she’s wearing mostly mesh with strategically placed panels of patterned fabric. She accessorized with pointy-toe heels that we’re 99.9 percent sure say “SEX” on them in all glitter. Yep. Also, we tried to imagine her sitting down in this dress and our minds exploded.

The following day, Ashanti wore a multicolored, paint-splattered jumpsuit with an Aztec pattern on—you guessed it—mesh. She paired it with an extra long black fur coat and sparkly peep-toe boots, and, um, does she realize that she still has a piece of braided hair glued to her forehead from the day before? Yeah? Cool, just checking. She finished the look with fuchsia lipstick and larger-than-life eyelashes. Later in the day she switched to a orange, beige, and black printed mini dress with tons of sheerness at a Stella & Dot fall jewelry event. Upon closer inspection, though, we realized that she’s sporting a black bra very obviously under the ensemble. We’re not advocating that she should go braless, but what’s the point of mesh if you’re just going to wear underwear underneath? *shrugs* We may never know. But what do you think: Is Ashanti addicted to mesh?

Ashanti re-tweeted the article, replying…

@Ashanti: RT @MTV: Is @Ashanti addicted to mesh? http://at.mtv.com/FzL < Okaayy maybe just a little! Lmaoooo! I ♥ @shanepeacock :D @quitefab #MeshIsFab

 

Ashanti was live on air with CNN’s New Anchor Suzanne Malveaux, to discuss the passing of Whitney Houston. Ashanti opens up about the times she met Whitney and the Huge impact she had on Woman and Music.

Shortly after Ashanti tweeted this photo of her getting ready for her CNN interview.

 

Tipsy Diaries: New York – Celebrities escaped the madness of “the tents” over the weekend and took a break from some fashion to attend The Daily Style Sessions with stella & dot, H.Bloom, and HPNOTIQ (our favorite!). The Empire Hotel Rooftop was the place to be as guests indulged in manicures by ESSIE, makeup touchups by Meaningful Beauty, delicious HPNOTIQ cocktails and mini cupcakes, AND Asahi beer for all the beer drinkers. Guests also stopped by the ‘Stay Sharp‘ Berocca tasting station. Sounds like a complete experience for anything you could ever want during your downtime at NYFW!

We spotted Adrienne Bailon and Kristin Cavallari being gal pals at the Daily Style Sessions. Adrienne put her hand on Kristin’s belly and questioned the star if she really was pregnant. Kristin blushed and said, “I haven’t popped yet, but I’m patiently waiting for that moment to happen.”

Ashanti was spotted picking up stella & dot jewelry and H. Bloom flowers for her mother who is also her manager…
