Voluptuous Beauty of The Week
Posted by Bossip Staff
In the newest issue of Jet, Raven-Symoné reveals why she won’t change for fame:
‘”I have to stay true to who I am’, says Disney star Raven-Symoné, 22, regarding her new self-titled CD, which is slated for release April 29. ‘I am not going to sing about sex, drugs and violence, that’s just not who I am’, she continues. As she prepares for the CD’s release and a 55-city Pajama Party concert tour, the confident and talented entertainer hopes this project will fill a void in today’s music. We need some music that will open people’s minds up and give them other things to think about other than the same things we have been giving them for a while. Maybe my album can do that.’
While the 5-foot-2-inch singer-actress stays true to her music, she’s also staying true to her image by being comfortable with her size. ‘When I look in the mirror and see how voluptuously fabulous I am, I can’t even worry about it. I am just fabulous.’”
Kudos for Raven for taking a stand. It’s refreshing to see a young artist trying to be on the up and up. Now, we’ll have to wait to see how that translate into record sales. She might change her tune real quick if she comes up dry.
Thanks Jeanine
i like her!
smokey!!! u beat me.. damm*t… LOL…
She’s grown into a beautiful woman!!
does anybody read jet magazine???
I can’t remember the last time I have picked one up,
but its a pretty quick read, 5 pages and you at the
back cover!
TV Guide is longer then this….i think
RAVEN IS MY WIFEY

CHECK THA NEW TRACK
“MENTAL RELAXATION”
@ SMOKEY I AGREE…I DON’T KNOW THE LAST TIME JET WAS PICKED UP BY ME. PROBABLY IN THE EARLY 1990’s OFF OF SOMEONE’S COFFEE TABLE.
I LOVE HER…AND I AM HAPPY THAT SHE SAID THIS. CUTE TITLE FOR THE TOUR!
pajama party tour, careful R.Kelly might buy out the
entire front row
I read Jet just for the Beauty of the week LOL
Jet magazine is a staple in any black barbershop
oh SMOK.E.Y. good one..
I see her little girl Cosby face in this photo.
Luv Ms. Raven.
Considering that she’s worth $400 million. I highly doubt that she is close to broke and need to change her image to sell CD’s.
Good for her, good for her … that’s a great attitude. What a great role model for young people.
But y does she look like something’s funny? Give us a real smile baby!
I loves her. And she is correct. As much money as she’s making doing what she does, why would she change it up to be a little whore like all those other girls. Kudos to her. My daughter loves her and we have our tickets already for the Pajama Tour!!!!
and yall are some right about the Jet magazine! I haven’t read one in years. I used to enjoy it. I don’t know what happened. Oh well.
a SWEET CHEEKS AND SMOKEY
GOOD DAY TO YA’LL HOW YA LIVIN?
I LOVE RAYVEN SHE DOESNT HAVE TO CHANGE FOR NO ONE YOU DON’T SEE THAT CONFIDENCE IN HOLLYWOOD. AND SHE DOESN’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT HER RECORD SALES SHE IS A MOGUL
This is a great example of how being over weight makes you look older. She does not look 22yr old, more like 34. Nia long and Gabby look younger.
even if her album flops i dont think she will change …. she is tru to what she is and even if the album dont sell good she will still have large bank accoutns sorry to inform yu bossip
rememeber the olivia days and what eva her name was on mr cooper
She’s pretty, but that’s not an attractive picture of her. Too much weave.
Raven is pretty and voluptous….but she got a high waist or square hips or sumn’ about her shape not quite right…
She needs to put on some pants
PLEASE DON’T HATE ON HER
THAT WOMAN RIGHT THERE IS WORTH 400MILLION+
“Considering that she’s worth $400 million. I highly doubt that she is close to broke and need to change her image to sell CD’s.”
Exactly - why switch up the formula now? It’ll be a long time before we see her on When the Checks Stop Coming in?
I’m so proud of her. I wish more young girls would look up to her than they do these other young female celebs that are constantly getting press for their scandoulous ways i.e. Paris, Britney, Kim, Lindsey, etc. Raven is a great example that you don’t have to be skinny, walking around half naked, get in trouble with the law, pose in men’s magazines wearing hardly anything, release sex tape and whore the cameras, or party all the time in order to be successful.
So what if her album doesn’t sell, none of them have - but she still stays true to herself. Plus, she is already paid so it’s not like she is doing it for the money…she is doing it out of the love for the craft.
I thought her pajama tour was postponed? Anywho, I actually like her music that I’ve heard so far. Another blog has snippets of it, and it sounds good. I like Raven and her confidence. I don’t think this is cute cover for her though…her face looks funny.
i can honestly say am very proud of her she came a long way my daughters love her so much. I cant even count how many child stars from back in the day made it to wear she is. keep up the good work!!!
I still read JET… I think Raven is doing good things by not comprising herself.
She looks good from the neck down… and those are real cute shoes….
She needs to work on that smile..she looks like the Joker from Batman.
Big up to Raven. Damn I’d beat that pussy to a pulp. Keep doin yo thang sugah!
cant stand that goofy awkward smirk- Im sure there were better proofs for this cover… That aside, Raven has a built in following amongst the beeny boppers, she doesnt need to switch it up cause she carved out her market segment and she’d be a fool to try and target an entirely new demographic than the one she currently has uncontested… She aint vying with Bey, Rhi, Fanny or none of these other pop artist. Too, while the Disney chics she does contend with drop off and get swallowed up in going after pop success {britney, christina,lindsay, miley,jessica, mary-kate & ashley etc.} these girls are hott for a minute and then they become doped out, sexxed up, knocked up, divorcee basket cases, Raven is staying right where she is, where the checks are coming in!! She is only 22 and a selfmade brand- slow and steady wins the race- she’ll outlast all these washed up broads and her $$ is long already!!
OK she need to grow up just a little…and pj party tour WTF…AND IS IT JUST ME OR DONT SHE LOOK LIKE CATS ON THAT COVER…
@ whatyouknowboutdat, she fine as hell. You just a ugly bitch at a terminal hatin on a fine ass sista. Yuck. Losers.
God bless all my regulars who ain’t here unfortunately. I’m not coming back. Not even to look at the celeb news. This site is trash. Be easy.
Why does she look like DR EVIL. and Hitler’s baby, raven dont need to loose wieght but she need to work on her body she shape like a box
Hold up now bossip you guys talk about this b*tch KIMORA like a dog and now she’s all over your damn site. Quit F*cking for Advertisement!!!!!!!!!!!
That b*tch probably laughing her ass off at bossip right now!?!?!
can’t hate on someone who is confident in who she is and making it work for her….love raven…and she is so right…what happened to good decent music….most of the music that is being played on urban radio stations is all the same…
Haven’t met one kid yet that doesn’t luv her.
THAT F*CKING C*NT NEEDS TO GO ON WEIGHT WATCHERS, WHO SHE TRYIN TO FOOL?? AT LEAST START SMOKING CIGARETTES, ANYTHING TO GET THE WEIGHT OFF!! HEFFER!!!!
@ the haters on this post
u guys praise rhianna and beyonce, but not raven? she is doing her thang and representing african american females at the highst level and respect. i love beyonce and rhianna, but raven gets more from me because she doesnt let it all hang out or perform like she doing s&m shows.
its because of the haters on here that there is a divide in our race….smh
Shawnie
That comment was soooooooooo ignorant. Believe it are not some people are comfortable being bigger than a size 2.I commend her on her ability to be a child star and still remain respected.Learn from her don’t tear her down. Your comment is what lead to eating disorders.
I think she looks nice the way she is.

I love Raven she’s beautiful yet she’s so underrated compared to other Disney girls such as Miley Cyrus or Hilary Duff.
I like Raven - she should continue to lead and not follow!

I’m sorry, but Raven has a terrible voice and should stick to acting. She looks so matronly in the face and body, for such a young age. Like she is forty years old or something.
Raven will remain in her own lane because she true to who she is! If we are to be successful in anything in life we have to remain true to who we are. Raven makes more money away from music, so its not like other artist who sell out because they need their albums to sell so they can eat. Raven is going to be ok and she got there for being true to who she is! I am happy to see a woman who looks like me for a change!
YOU GO GIRL!
YOU GOT MILLIONS!
SO WHO CARES WHAT OTHER SMALL MINDED PPL HAVE TO SAY!
As a parent of a daughter, I’m very pleased to hear this and hope Raven’s music is successful. I’m tired of seeing 13 year old girls dance around to music with constant references to big asses and strippers.
Look at little Olivia all grown up. Do your thing ma
I think she looks great. As long as you are comfortable in your skin thats all that counts
When did she become Symoné??Is she trying to become all sophisticated now? I always knew her as RAVEN SIMONE. Whateves, she still cute, and positive. when we’re looking
She has grown to be a beatutiful and successful young woman
I’m almost scared to post what I really think about Ms. Raven Simone after the love she’s been getting.
The hell with it, she is fine as hell, thick as hell, I would love to be in her pajama party. Seeing ‘College Road Trip’ the whole time all I could think about was what she looked like bent over doggystyle. Forgive me ladies, a little horny. But hey, she is an adult right, hell, i’m not too much older.
ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?
^ beautiful
She’s going to sell. Her Disney fan base is through the ROOF… that’s who this CD is marketed towards anyway.
Yuck, that broad looks like a baby thundercat.
Shes pretty, but i’d still make her lose 40lbs, keep the big ass titties, dirty her up a lil, then send her back to Disney to bring home that “Hannah Montana” type money!
I think Jet is for folks 65+ Come on…Beauty of the Week? Almost all of those women volunteer, and love to skii, but NEVER mention their careers.
I LOVE HR AND I FULLY SUPPOET EVERYTHING SHE IS ABOUT… THIS IS THE TYPE OF ROLEMODEL I WANT MY 14 YR OLD TO FOLLOW. SHE CAN SING GOOD BUT SHE IS TAKING DANCE CLASSES NOW. I ALREADY THINK SHE LOOKS LIKE RAVEN ONLY SHE IS A 5-6 IN SIZE BUT THEY LOOK ALIKE AND THIS IS SOMEONE I WOULD WANT HER TO IDOLIZE OR FOLLOW BEHIND. I DONT CARE ABOUT HER SIZE SHE IS WHAT TOMMORROWS CHILD SHOULD BE STRIVING FOR. SUCESS AND AND THEIR OWN NOTIRIATY, AND COMFPRTABLE BEING WHO THEY ARE….. I LOVE IT
I CANNOT BELIEVE SOMEONE SUGGESTED SHE SMOKE TO LOSE WEIGHT. WHAT KIND OF COONERY?? IGNORANT B*TCH!
can i get my issue and be surprised for once damn. @ bossip
Rave looks plastic surge. photo shop no. def some plastic up in there. what what
She made the majority of her money from that squeaky clean image a la the Olsen twins. She’d be crazy to go against it now.
her last album wasn’t spectacular in sales and she still singing the same tune…I think she’s one of the few that will stand her ground and still make that money!!!!
I LOVE RAVEN U GO HEAD GIRL!!!!!!!
@ ShayShay, let your kid do everything except eat a 5 peice popeyes meal before bed like Raven does, that bitch needs to be slimmer!

Bossip is owned by a stupid white guy and is now edited by a stupid white woman he hired. His other site is jossip.com. Try a black owned gossip site such as young, black and fabulous.
She was on Cosby hundred years ago but people talk about her music career..Can anyone name some songs that Raven-Symoné has done? What exactly is she famous for nowadays?
ha ha dont trust bossip….who “trusts” them?? like we’re paying them out of our pockets or something lololol
We should respect individuality.i think she is beautiful because she has her own individuality.you guys want to see more wonderful pictures, this is a wonderful place you should go. m i l l i onairechats.c o m
“but its a pretty quick read, 5 pages and you at the
back cover!”
LOL, that is so TRU Smokey…I can’t remember the last time I read a JET Mag…Hell at one point I thought they stopped publishing them….LOL
Anyway, I can’t even hate on Raven. I love that fact that she will remain true to herself and she’s aware that her music may not relate to the type of audience that she want it too, but hey, as she said in her song, “She’s still getting that doe.” So don’t SELL OUT if it’s not going 2 SELL.
She’s worth 400 million dollars…unless she starts doing some rocks Whitney Houston style times 10…her money ain’t drying up for shit
@ LAURE
I KNOW RIGHT
WE ARE NOT ON HERE ENDORSING THEM, JUST SOME ENTERTAINMENT WHILE WE PASS THE DAY AT WORK… THE NERVE OF SOME PEOPLE
@Lauren
ha ha dont trust bossip….who “trusts” them?? like we’re paying them out of our pockets or something lololol

Hey lil sis
I LOVE RAVEN!!!!!!!!! I like how she didnt have 2 sell out in order to get her 400 mil.
@ Shay Shay, LOL, Some ppl take bloggin to seriously, their hearts are in it! LOL
@ MDADDY, What up big bro! How you doin today???
i like Raven, however this picture is NOT flattering- neither is that curtain dress
Raven is a gorgeous girl, not caught up in the anorexia beauty fad, or cocaine, or having to call the pap’s everytime she goes to starbucks like a lot of those big headed celebs. She’s authentic and natural (not her hair though,lol) and I like that…
@ LAUREN YOU SEE OUR FAVORITE F.B.I. AGENT HAS JOINED THE BUILDING
THAT’S A HORRIBLE PICTURE, NO MAKE UP AND HER HAIR LOOKS BAD…SHE REMINDS ME OF SNOOP FROM THE WIRE.
@ Shay Shay, who MDaddy??
I KNOW AND I LOVE HER OUTFIT, SHE IS THE FIRST TEEN PHENOM WHOS KITTY KAT WE HAVENT SEEN WHILE GETTING OUT OF THE CAR GOING TO STARBUCKS…. I LIKE HER STYLE, BECAUSE ITS A STYLE ALLHER OWN THAT I HAVENT SEEN ANY BODY ROCK, AND WHO CARES ANYWAY THE GIRL IS WORTH 400 MILLION, YOU DAMN FOOLS SHE COULD WHERE WHITNEY HOUSTONS PROM DRESS AND STILL BE BANGIN
@ LAUREN
YEAH YOU KNOW I RENAMED HIM BECAUSE ITS SO HARD TO SEND HIM AN EMAIL TO HOTMAIL, SO I TOLD HIM HE HAS AN FBI ISSUED EMAIL ADDRESS, AND SO THAT THE NAME WOULD CATCH I SAID ITSTOOD FOR FINE BLACK AND INTELLECTUAL!!! THATS CUTE AINT IT
@ Shay, Imma hurt you, whitney houston’s prom dress though?? lol!!! I know that jawn was crazy 70’s!! But I agree just because she’s not a size minus 0 ppl are gonna hate on her, but please believe that chick is makin MONEY!
She grew up to be a fine ass woman, I love me some thick, I most definitely would hit. From a man’s perspective the picture is flattering enough!
@ Shay Shay, LOL!! That IS cute! F.B.I…..Matter fact where did his ass go?? LOL!
I always found it fascinating how Bossip staff could compliment you and put you down in the same breath.
I’ve been waiting FOREVER for Raven to “grow up” and let the puppies out. She is my type pretty much all the way. And I was like “what are you still doin that young sh!t for?”
But one day i heard about her 400 million. THATS why. Why compete in a crowded field of scandalousness when that squeaky clean game rakes in the dough?
So, I’m still kinda mad at her for keepin the racks under wraps, but I am proud she is sticking to what is apparently a lucrative long term career plan. just wait. she’ll be a mogul in 10-15 years
I really like Raven she seems to have a good head on her shoulders, and is comfortable with who she is and has a sense of humor. I cant beleive that she used to live with Lindsay Lohan, glad she didnt get caught up in that madness!
Oh and I think the “Dont trust Bossip” announcement has a point Bossip is the most popular “black” site as of now, the more comments you make just contributes to more advertising dollars and more revenue for a site that arguably exploits black culture and people, kinda like BET only online and without “Hell Date” so while its obvious no one pays for registration on the site, youre presence and comments translate into revenue..just thought Id inform ya!
and speaking of Ad money..Bossip I think you need more Kimora!
@ LAUREN
OHHHH NOW YOU GET THE PICTURE…. THIS IS WHY HIS NAME IS FBI. SUSPICIOUSIN AND OUT ASS!!! PERFECT NAME FOR HIM I TOLD YOU
@ Shay Shay, I’m upset, gotta tell u something, i’m e-mailing you now.
She fat, overweight, however you want to say it. It does not portray a good, healthy image to young people who look up to her. For some reason being fat is seen as some kind of “right”, or “nobody is going to tell me different”…why is being fat something people get defensive about?…it’s not good to eat to much and not exercise…it leads to illness that can all be avoided through a better diet. It’s about health, not identity or attitude.
(Waveing) Lauren and Shay here I am
to be honest
Kimora scares me. just sayin
@coperatecutieshayshay
@ LAUREN
OHHHH NOW YOU GET THE PICTURE…. THIS IS WHY HIS NAME IS FBI. SUSPICIOUSIN AND OUT ASS!!! PERFECT NAME FOR HIM I TOLD YOU
_____________________________________________________
STOP IT!!!! LOL
@ Rob
you know she got a personal trainer and prolly eats right. some ppl are just built thick…and if they get as skinny as some would like they (seriously) look like bobblehead dolls.
being fat is a right, and so is a lot of other shit like smoking and self asphyxiation…but that doesnt mean you should do it
If she were sloppy and dumpy and obviously not taking care of herself i’d agree with you but I think she’s healthy.
Her ppl wouldnt let her go down like that, esp. since she is “at risk” (naturally thick)
whenever I go to my parents house I pick up the latest Jet and go right to page 43.
FBI…. WHERE YOU BEEN. INTEREGATING SOME POOR BLACK DRUG DEALER… COMING BACK TO BLOG IN BETWEEN DISHING OUT ASS WOOPENS WITH PHONE BOOKS!!!!!
