Ashanti Doesn’t Eat; ‘Times’ Doesn’t Care

Hey! Why did Times writer Ellen Carpenter just gloss over this rather telling piece of information in Sunday’s puff piece about a Thursday night on the town with R&B star Ashanti?

By dinnertime, Ashanti was starving. “I don’t remember the last time I ate,” she said as she rode an elevator to the club’s garden-floor dining room. She paused to think. “It was a Carney’s turkey burger. That was Wednesday afternoon in L.A.”

I feel like this is totally possible. The woman is preparing for her long pushed back album release and most likely has a million and one things to do not to mention that the pressure for her to look perfect is probably weighing heavily on her. Benonsense master cleanses every time she has something major to do and that's pretty much her not eating, so what's the difference? One is drinking a juice that can tear your insides up and the other is probably surviving off of chewing gum and water. They are all kooky.

Female celebrities starve themselves before a big events that's not even news. That's has been going on since forever. How else are they going to get into "sample size" designers dresses.
