Ashanti and Nelly? "We cool."
So are Ashanti and Nelly a couple? Well, they -- Ashelly? Nanti? -- went on "Ellen" yesterday to perform "Body on Me," along with Akon, and Ellen DeGeneres tried to get them to talk about it. After some uneasy silence and an attempted change-of-subject, Nelly finally said, "We cool." (That starts around 0:45.)
Even if Nelly isn't quite ready to pack up and move to Glen Cove with Ashanti just yet, the high point of his new "Brass Knuckles" album is easily his collabo with Chuck D., "Self Esteem," so maybe he should think about making more trips from The Lou to Strong Island.
