Ashanti’s official website just revealed that “The Way I Love You” will be the first single to Ashanti’s forthcoming album and they also revealed the album cover seen above.

I got emails threatening to post this song! OK, I’m exaggerating … One reader was really anxious to hear the high quality though. They even suggested that I contact Ashanti’s label immediately for them to send me this song (gave me the contact information and everything). Sadly I had my doubts from that low quality version, which the individual also included in the email for me. Foolish me, I love this song, the passionate lyrics, Ashanti’s belting vocals, the drowning melodies — love it! A definite step-up from “Hey Baby”. Ashanti’s bringing the heat this time!

JAY-Z & BEYONCE

FYI: This list is in no particular order…

2007 is coming to a close, and we here at Think2wice thought it would be the perfect time to highlight some of the greatest moments, people, etc. of the past year! First up, is “Favorite Couples.” And you guessed it, Jay-Z and Beyonce are perched at the top of this list! These two cause a stir in the gossip blogs whenever their names are mentioned. It’s gotten to the point where we’ve given them one name … Jayonce. Despite both of their busy schedules, Jayonce still finds the time to spend time with each other, whether it be a sporting event, a week-long vacation, or just having dinner at one of NYC’s top restaurants. Recently, rumors sparked of the two being married after people spotted matching tattoos on their ring fingers (IV - “FOURever” ??), but those rumors were immediately shot down by one of Jay-Z’s reps. Who knows … they probably are married! Hell, didn’t Janet keep her marriage to that guy from the public for like 10 or more years? Anyhow, hate it or love it, Beyonce and Jay-Z are with each other for the long run, as long as they keep their relationship as private as it has been for the past 4 years. CONTINUE READING

In the words of Dr. Khia, “Something in the milk ain’t clean!” Now … before I continue with this post, I would like to say that ALLTHEPARTIES.COM is the devil! And judging by the pics above, you can’t blame me (for my opinion) lol. Now I’m no fashion expert or anything like that, but I do know that you are NOT supposed to wear a turtle-neck SWEATER as a SKIRT, dress, or whatever the hell she’s trying that pass that thing off as! That shit just ain’t cool lol. Don’t get me wrong, because no one is perfect. But this child is barely 20 and has cellulite! WTF?! How do you get cellulite as a teenager? Somebody PLEASE help me out, I feel like I’m out of the loop on something here…

If this ain’t a fuck effort I don’t know what is! Ladies, please THINK 2WICE before you leave the house looking like that. Effort should always be present when picking out an outfit for the club! Now THAT’S my only advice, LMAO.

Ashanti performed the “Star Spangled Banner” at the NFL Thanksgiving game (Dallas Cowboys vs The Jets) … and it was bananas! Nah lol, it was pretty good though. I can’t hate. Sounds like she did it live though ’cause I hear a few cracks in there, but I’m not being analytical or anything =D

The 2007 American Music Awards went down last night at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles. The show was telecast live on CBS and featured performances from Fergie, Chris Brown, Beyonce (and Sugarland), Rihanna & Ne-Yo, and more. Winners included Justin Timberlake, T.I., Akon, Rihanna, and Beyonce, who won the most prestigious honor of the night! Beyonce took home the “International Star of the Year” award, an honor only previously given to Michael Jackson, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, and Rod Stewart. This makes her the first female to ever win that award, which was presented by Usher (who fumbled through 95% of it I might add lol — what’s on his mind??). If you’re interested in checking out the full list of winners, check out this site. In this post, you’ll find photos from the Red Carpet, The Performances, and Random Candids from throughout the show. CONTINUE READING
