ASHANTI AND BECKHAMS AT ESPYS AWARDS

Wild Ashanti

Ashanti Has Fun With Her Outfit

The Beckham's Are All Class

Ashanti strikes a pose at the 2008 ESPY Awards at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, California yesterday. We love this wild outfit for some reason. It's crazy and it kinda flows in a summer kinda way. Meanwhile, David and Victoria Beckham look great, but reserved. The yellow looks fab on Victoria. She really is a classy fashion icon.

ASHANTI SAVING MONEY AND HAVING KIDS

Singing star Ashanti is saving up her money so she can retire and play mom to 12 children. The hit singer who is dating rapper Nelly, admits to having motherhood on her mind, but she wants to amass a small fortune before she becomes a mom, so she can be comfortable financially.The talented star holds back on buying expensive treats and instead saves the millions she gets from her film and music careers for her dream. She says, "I need, like, 12 (kids)… I love kids. I definitely want to get married… I’m so family oriented. I want the big wedding, I want the long marriage, I want kids."(But) I’ve got to stack my cheese a little bit more… I want to be able to bring my kids into the world nice and comfortable." Ashanti tells Sister 2 Sister magazine she’s taking time to learn about how to become a successful businesswoman. She adds, "First of all, you have to read everything. If you can’t then you hire someone that you can trust that can help you read every single contract."It’s all about your advisors. If you don’t know, take a business class." And the 27-year-old singer has learned so much, she’s now planning to start her own record label, called Written Entertainment.
