Is Ashanti really THAT big???

From today's NY Post:

ASHANTI is having a rough summer. The songbird gained so much weight, she refused to be photographed during the weekend opening of the Ivy Hotel in San Diego. Having a better time was Jessica Biel, there with her family and a few girlfriends, who joined the poker tournament at the hotel that raised $250,000 for her charity, Make the Difference Network. Not there was her sometime beau Justin Timberlake, who we recently reported was hitting on other women.
