Ashanti got her pose on at CBS' Early Show yesterday, and it's always cool to see celebs working so hard on political and social projects. Ashanti volunteered for Rock The Vote and is pictured here getting the world out to draw people to the polls on Tuesday.

Even Ashanti's boyfriend Nelly has been more vocal lately about what's important to him-- but he's been talking about his relationship. In a rare personal moment, he told People mag that "That's the thing between me and her, we just like having fun," with Ashanti herself saying that an engagement could "definitely [be] in the future."

Squeee! We hope so-- some of us around here are hopeless romantics.
