Spotted: Raven Symone & Tina Turner
Raven Symone was spotted out in West Hollywood at Chelsea Handler’s book launch party last night:



Interesting ensemble. And dammit Meagan Good’s name plate earrings got Raven!
Tina Turner’s back with her semi-updated look:

She’s talking about her body and her look as she prepares for her upcoming tour.

The Niriah saga continues. A source working for Jacob The Jeweler says MiMi’s $2.5 million ring is all new and Nick came in to get it a couple weeks ago. Mmhmm.

Raven is looking might chunky in that outfit. I don’t like it on her.
When is Niky boy going to learn you can’t by love.
Mariah needs a man her own age. The End!

Hey if she’s got tha yungster dishin’ out that type of cash, go for it. He’s definately as good as her past choices. I hope they are together, I hope B & JZ are having a baby. Black love is beautiful. As for the media hype, that is all part of the territory, play it to your advantage, but the truth is Mariah has talent and shouldn’t bother with all the BS, but I guess that’s what happens when the new you (Leona Lewis) is swagger jackin’ your style.

It’s so sad that whoring yourself out has become the publicity staple. That people are really that desperate to sell records. Try talent people. SMH

OH gosh the nicknames got to stop!I see you Raven, I respect a chick who can get money with their clothes on.

That dress makes Raven look way too “matronly”. She’s a heavy girl but this dress makes her look even more heavier. I know she’s satisfied with her weight, but she could stand to lose 15 to 20 pounds.
On May 1, 2008 | Reply | Quote
1) Raven is much too beautiful and YOUNG to be wearing so much make-up! Also, that outfit is not flattering.
2) Tina is looking more fabulous than alot of women HALF her age! ( i.e. Vivica Fox! ) LMAO!

I absolutely love Ms. Tina!!!! She is the ultimate entertainer. She can rock for someone her age, better than some of the younger singers. I can’t wait for her to tour.

COSIGN. She’s overweight and DESPERATELY NEEDS to lose weight. Where are her parents? I know when I gained weight, my momma wouldn’t let me hear the end of it until I got my ass in shape! Whoever is telling her she looks good heavy is LYING! That shapeless dress didn’t help matters either.

Yall need to quit. Raven is a cute thick girl. She does not need to “desperately” lose weight like yall say. This is the reason why there are girls starving themselves and puking in a toilet after they eat…because they feel the need to satisfy other people’s idea of BEAUTIFUL. Yes the dress does Raven no justice but damn…she isn’t obese!
On May 1, 2008 | Reply | Quote
Magenta…your comment was cool. My bad. My comment is directed more at what auragirl wrote. Raven could lose some weight but her weight isnt out of hand.
On May 1, 2008 | Reply | Quote
All I gotta say is I hope I can look like Tina when im damn near 80 Tina is the SHIT! And I dare someone to say she aint!

Also Tina & Ms. Symone should switch outfits. That would be so much more age appropriate. GN…

Raven is not obese but she is overweight. The terms thick and curvy are generally overused and used incorrectly. She doesn’t have to live up to anyone’s standard of beauty but her own. But she is fat no matter how many PC words we want to use to describe being overweight. I don’t happen find being fat attractive on either women or men. Raven is a pretty young woman. Very, very funny. Like Lucille Ball funny! Quite smart. But she’s still overweight and until she loses the weight, I will see her as fat.
Being fit and healthy does not require one to stop eating, or to vomit regularly, or to take drugs. Plenty of everyday people and celebrities stay fit by following a proper diet, staying active daily, and getting regular check ups.

Raven needs to dress more age appropriately. Tina Turner is in her sixties and she dresses younger than Raven.

I swear that picture of Tina is like looking into the future on Beyonce 40 years from now!

If thick means overweight & obese, then fine. Actually technically she could be obese. I heard she’s pretty short–around 5′2″ and just by looking at her, she looks like she’s AT LEAST 175 lbs, so yeah, I’d say obese. That would definitely give her a body mass index over 30. Google “body mass index” if you don’t believe me. I really like her–I think she’s super talented and wish she could get in shape! She is too young to be so overweight. She has money. She can afford a trainer and a gym membership! The rest of us without much money do it, so she can too!

Work it then Tina!!! I agree, I hope I look that good when I’m her age!! Go Raven, that girl is rich and bad!!!

Does Nick Cannon even HAVE $2.5 million???
On May 1, 2008 | Reply | Quote
Okay, either Raven needs to lose a couple of pounds or buy clothes that fit. Why does it always look like she’s stuffed into her outfits and sucking her gut in. Pretty girl but so unaware of how to dress for her figure.

Raven looks nice but she went overboard with the eye concealer

I agree, I think she’ll drop the weight when she feels like it though. Thick is not over weight! and raven is not thick! she is heavy! I think peole need to understand the difference. I don’t think we should support people being unhealthy, but at the same time hollywood can be insane about being extra thin! I think she’ll look fine if she drops a good 30 to 40 pounds. It’s still her body and I think raven really does love herserlf. I lose 50 pounds and have kept it for 4 years. i was 5foot 3 and 172 pounds, I got down to 122! I had gained all that weight while in college! I love my size 6 honey! Just give her time!

People must be confused about the fact that Nick Cannon’s production company produced a series of successful and profitable movies, and had shows on MTV for at least 5 years. He is not nearly as broke as ya’ll think. Yes, he CAN easily afford a 2.5 million dollar ring. How do you think he has snagged all of these women? Trust me when I say it wasn’t his looks, or corniness…its his business sense and those deep pockets of his.

She may not be obese but I bet she is far from Inshape… She Has a BEAUTIFUL face perhaps if she lost some weight she’d look better than most chicks in the game but at age 22 and with all the money in the world to get in shape there is NOO excuse to be so heavy. Diabetes stroke heart disease… those are all things that maybe in her future if she does not lose this weight.. She’d prolly get more roles too.. Im just saying
On May 1, 2008 | Reply | Quote
In fact, there was an MTV special saying that his net worth is sittin over 500 mil…so yall need to stop worryin about poor lil Mariah and her absence of a pre-nup. They’re both pretty damn straight if ya ask me.

***YAWN*** The whole CannMimi coupling reeks of a publicity stunt! Both of their careers (who the hell am I kidding, Nick Cannon never had a career!!!) - I mean Mimi’s career, is fading, and she’s trying her pastel tight clothes silicon breasts damndest to remain relevant! I hope both of them go sit down somewhere real soon. They don’t even deserve the foolywang of the week, as that would be giving their sorry a$$es way to much importance.

Raven is so frumpy and I know why. She is contracted through Disney and ya’ll know damn well Disney puts the Knowles’ control’ ish ways to shame.
I saw her on Chelsea Lately one night and she seemed really tight lipped about not who she was with romantically, but speaking of romance period. It’s weird, but she is owned by Disney. I wonder if Bill Cosby gave her the “Lisa Bonet-chicken blood- bare breast” talk and scared her azz into Grandmotherly submission…

Thank you…I am so glad that someone other than myself is well aware of Nick Cannon’s business sense. The kid use to sleep in his car until he got a big break in a comedy club. I respect young black people with the hustle and determination as Nick and will never knock my own black sisters and brothers for what they do. Everyone is calling Nick corny for the fact he’s not a thug and does not keep himself in the eye of the media for doing insane things. If I was Nick I wouldn’t care what people said about me because he has what a lot of you in this forum does not have…MONEY. Educate yourselves on the backgrounds of others before you start dissing them and yes Nick Cannon has 2.5 Millon dollars as a matter of fact 2 years ago he grossed well over $20 Mill for the year so now you do the calculations.

To BrownSkinLady:
Apparently you don’t know the process of an Authentic Louis Vuitton bag so let me educate you on this one: when you first purchase a Louis Vuitton bag out of the store the handles which are made out or cowhide leather are really light. The more you carry the bag the darker the handles get which is why people love Louis Vuitton bags so much because of the vintage look the bags have after awhile. The one that Raven Simone has on her arm is all authentic and is only going through the color changing process, no it’s not the fake ass knock off you have with the vinyl straps boo boo. And stop telling people that you have a knock off Louis that is not cute. Work hard and get the real thing like myself and Raven Simone did!

I see it from both sides. If you want a knock off, so be it. That just means you have more money for other things. But, I am also all about rewarding ones self for a job well done. I work hard, so please believe in, have and will continue to treat myself. But I won’t be skipping a mortagage or those d*mn Direct Loans (ugh!) to get it done. LOL

Okay…I love this site and the pictures. I love Natasha. But this is the last time I read these blogs! These people just pick on the dumbest stuff! and that “1st” crap is still stupid and elementary.
It was nice to hear the positive stuff about NIck C. that I was unaware of. But people want to look down on him and call him names?
N.C. is smart and doing the damn thing! This hater-a-tion is killing me! And Disney having control over Raven? With Miley’s Vanity Fair mess who do they have control over? Maybe she didn’t talk about her person stuff cause it is no ones business!
I know someone will have a “nice ” comment to say about this, but it won’t matter, cause I will not be reading it!
PEACE

Tina is so FIERCE!! It aint all about these young girls! Tina is looking better than Beyonce! As we get older we ge more confident and more self assured and it shows! Raven is cute - she has her own style! Give her a break - she’s a mogul - she can do whatever the f*ck she wants! LOL. And of course Nick didnt actually pay 2 mil! Stars get like 70% of e’rthang! But he has big dough, don’t sleep! And I hear he is sensible with his money, not buying 4 lambos and houses in every major city. He may not be gorgeous or “cool” but he’s a smart guy.

IF SDHE NEW THE STOCK TRADE MARKET AND POLITICS LIKE SHE KNEW LOUIS THIS CHICK WOULD BE ONE RICH WOMAN. man SOME black people need to stop focusing on trying to portray these celebs who are millionaires by the way, buy all this label non sense and learn how to stack chips and save. and even if you own a little house thats still shouldnt be your goal. always try to acheive higher. shit bill gates is one of the richest man on earth and said he still shops at walmart and buys clothes only when he attends functions. other than that theres no need it of no importance. and people who make close to nothin are runnin to these stores buyin whatever to make them selfs look rich and makin these rich white men even richer.. only person you gotta look good for is your self and if you have to buy a thousand dollar purse to impress people or appear rich. than you have no self love. if a man cant love you in a t and sweat pants. he aint the one. clothes dont define you. you define you. cant believe this chick knows the whole run down about hw to tell a bag is fake and etc etc. must be joking

Black people do better before we couldnt even have jobs or work and get paid now you have the ability to be rich and you wanna through it out because your so materialistic. i aint even 23 and i know the shit. people that are probably older than me are sayin this nmon sense. learn to save and buy when needed
