Ashanti will be making her theatrical debut! She’s set to play Dorothy in The Wiz, an urbanized version of the classic The Wizard of Oz.

The theater community is a little shocked by casting, since the role was rumored to be going to former IdolTamyra Gray or Anika Noni Rose. But Ashanti landed it!

The revival will be a part of Encores! Summer Starts series in New York City. The musical will play June 12th through July 5th.

We think Ashanti is great for this role! She’s been very successful as both an musician and an actress, and this combines her two loves.

The Wiz will run June 12 - July 5. Tickets range from $25 - $110 and are available at the New York City Center Box Office (West 55th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues), through CityTix® at 212-581-1212, or online at www.nycitycenter.org.

Nelly is ready to propose to his girlfriend Ashanti, but there's one big problem--her over controlling mother.

Nelly, who has been dating Ashanti for five years, is ready to make her his wife, but her mother Tina Douglas is making him have second thoughts.

According to Bossip.com, “Tina sticks her nose in everything because she’s also Ashanti’s manager,” the source added, “She’s always pushing Ashanti to make more money, to always look great. It stresses her out, and Nelly doesn’t like that.”

“Before he makes her his wife,” adds the source, “Nelly wants to know that Ashanti can make decisions on her own.”

We've heard worst mother-in-law stories. Sorry Nelly, you're going to have to suck it up and deal with her if you really love Ashanti. What's the worst mother-in-law story you've heard?
