I like Ashanti. I’m glad that whols situation with gotti didn’t destroy her career.
since when is a flop considered a comeback?
@Sweet Cheeks
I love you
that magazine must be desperate if they’re putting has-beens on their cover.
She looks nice as always but how is she the biggest comeback? Yeah, she released an album but no one really paid attention.
Ashanti is the most beautiful woman on the planet.
She looks very nice. I have got to give it to Ashanti, she has managed to stick around longer than I thought that she would. Go girl, get your paper!
@Man I Just
Hey you!
The biggest comeback uummm I think not.
pretty pics of Ashanti
I love Shani and no she didn’t have a big commercial comeback but she did declare her independence with the cd (which is damn good IMO). She wrote and executive produced the entire cd herself plus she used her own money to record the cd.
She is such a grinder and because she is a grinder she will always have some level of success.
I wish her much success with her new movie and future endeavors.
she is a pretty girl

WASHINGTON – The world economy will slow sharply this year and next, with the United States likely sliding into recession reflecting mounting damage from the most dangerous financial jolt in more than a half-century.
The International Monetary Fund, in a World Economic Outlook released Wednesday, slashed growth projections for the global economy and predicted the United States — the epicenter of the financial meltdown — will continue to lose traction.
“The world economy is now entering a major downturn in the face of the most dangerous shock in mature financial markets since the 1930s,” the IMF said in its report.
The IMF now projects that the global economy, which grew by a hardy 5 percent last year, will lose considerable speed, slowing to 3.9 percent this year. It is forecast to weaken even more — to just 3 percent — next year, marking the worst showing since 2002. In the past, the IMF has called global growth of 3 percent or less the equivalent to a global recession.
The IMF’s projection was made before the Federal Reserve and six other major central banks from around the world slashed interest rates Wednesday in an attempt to prevent a financial crisis from becoming a global economic meltdown.
The Fed reduced its key rate from 2 percent to 1.5 percent. In Europe, which also has been hard hit by the financial crisis, the Bank of England cut its rate by half a point to 4.5 percent, while the European Central Bank sliced its rate to 3.75 percent.
Also taking part were the central banks of China, Canada, Sweden, and Switzerland. The Bank of Japan said it strongly supported the actions.
The financial crisis, which erupted in the United States in August 2007 and has quickly spread around the globe, entered a tumultuous new phase last month, badly shaking confidence in global financial institutions and markets, the IMF said. It has triggered a cascading series of bankruptcies, forced mergers and radical government interventions — such as the United States’ unprecedented $700 billion financial bailout — to stem the fallout.
The new projections come before a gathering of the world’s top economic powers on Friday and the weekend meetings of the IMF and the World Bank. The jarring financial crisis is likely to figure prominently in those discussions.
In the United States, the economy, which grew by 2 percent last year, is projected to slow to 1.6 percent this year. Growth would screech to a virtual halt in 2009, barely budging at just 0.1 percent. That would mark the worst showing since 1991, when the country was pulling out of a recession.
“With a recession now looking increasingly likely, the key questions are, how deep will the downturn be, when will a recovery get under way and how strong will it be?” the IMF asked. Much will hinge on how effective the United States’ steps to stabilize financial markets and get credit flowing more freely again turn out to be. Another important factor is whether these and other actions turn around U.S. consumers, whose retrenchment is hurting the economy.
The IMF — and many private economists — believe the U.S. economy will probably contract in the final three months of this year and the first three months of next year, meeting a cl*****ic definition of a recession. The economy’s last recession was in 2001.
The government’s bailout package is aimed at thawing lending by buying bad mortgage-related debt from troubled financial institutions. The idea is that the banks’ books would then be cleaner, putting them in a better position to lend and get the economy moving.
The IMF said this effort should help to stabilize markets but even so “the process of balance-sheet repair will be long and arduous.” Credit availability is likely to remain constrained throughout 2009, the IMF said.
Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke warned in a speech Tuesday that the economy’s outlook for this year has darkened and the pain could last for some time. His remarks were seen as heralding the rate cut Tuesday.
Looking at other countries, Germany’s growth will slow to 1.8 percent this year, down from 2.5 percent last year. France’s growth will weaken to just 0.8 percent, compared with 2.2 percent in 2007. Britain’s economy will see growth taper to 1 percent, down from 3 percent last year. Canada’s growth will tail off to 0.7 percent this year, from 2.7 percent last year.
In Japan, growth will cool to just 0.7 percent, from 2.1 percent last year.
Global powerhouses China and India will see growth clock in this year at a robust 9.7 percent and 7.9 percent, respectively. Even if those projections prove correct, they would still mark downgrades from their blistering performances last year. Russia’s economy should grow by a brisk 7 percent this year, down from 8.1 percent last year.
Inflation around the world remains high, driven up by surging energy and food prices through much of this year.
It will be tricky for Bernanke and his counterparts in other countries to navigate weak growth and inflation pressures, the IMF said.
“The immediate policy challenge is to stabilize financial conditions, while nursing economies through a period of slow activity and keeping inflation under control,” it said.
WHY are you wrITINg paragraphs?
U BUFFalo Ho
She looks pretty.. But the biggest comeback?
Find great news @ http://www.stayinthenews.com (funny as hell)

Cute Ladies shoes @ http://www.thestilettoe.com
she came back and FLOPPED!!
and y is her mouth always open
I think the “The Year’s Biggest Comeback” Story should be saved for Lauyrn Hill when she finally gets it together and puts out a CD..
I don’t like to be negative, but as someone stated above “She wrote and executive produced the entire cd herself plus she used her own money to record the cd.” She probably did this b/c no one as in her management wanted to take a risk w/ another CD of hers b/c the last one flopped.. Her CDs normally consisit of a few good songs, not worthy of an entire CD..
And finally Beyonce (yes Bee) is probably somewhere pacing back and forth upset b/c she feels she should be on the cover of Today’s Black Woman….hell on the cover of every magazine simply beacuse she is Beyonce.
same no top lip thing going on, but I have a thing for ashanti, so she gets a p*****. Love her like that!!
@ K-MIA
WHY YOU ON THE UPPER-LIP KICK??? LOL!!!
GET ‘EM ASHANTI!!!!!!!
I LOVE TO SEE A BLACK WOMAN LOOKING GOOD AND DOING GOOD THINGS!!!
@lala
You make a good point but she is lovely on the cover anyway!
@ Da Truff
lol!! I dunno, i just have a thing about it, i really like lips, so when someone doesnt have any it’s kinda like part of their face is missing lol!!! Ashanti’s gorgeous, i have a lil crush on her but, like i always think women with lips look better.
any woman who always pose or walk around with her mouth open (and yet manages to not say anything thought provoking) all the time does not represent me
Nice photo otherwise

Cute picture i dont really care to much for her as an entertainer but the girl has a nice body, her voice is another story. no homo

DAMN THIS BROAD COULD GET IT IN THE WORST WAY
Ashanti used her own money to do her album, she didnt have any proper backing like Beyonce(DAD),Alicia(Clive),Rihanna(Jayz). She did the ***** on her own. shes a grinder and getting her money BY herself ON her own 2 feet. She declared that shes independent so all the negativity isnt even called for…

come on people don’t be so hard on her, she can really sing. it’s just that needed better writers and producers. she waited to long to get away from gotti and ja. but i just saw a picture of her little sister what the hell did she have on??? and those awful thighs of hers no,no,no

BEY IS PHONE AND ALWAYS BITING OFF SOMEBODY ASHUNTI HAD DIVA SONG FIRST AND THEN BE YMADE HERS LOOK ON U TUBE THIS GIRL IS SO TALENTED ITS RIDICULOUS BEY ANNOT SPEAK IN PUBLIC I SHOULD SAY SOUND SO GHETTO WHEN SHE TALK SHE CANT MESS WITH ASHUNTI.
