Actually...that may work well in her favor...think about it...all we hear is all the bad news blaring Lindsay, Brittany and Paris....let Raven do hers on teh quiet...and do things we can be proud of...sometimes success is best if not bragged or shouted about.

I'm all for Raven Symone and seeing her be a successful actress, but I wonder what would happen if they stopped giving her these teen/almost-adult-but-not-quite-there-yet roles. But hey, that's just me talking.

Other than that, she sets a great example for young girls and I'm glad she isn't all caught up in her weight, although people have been questioning it for years. She's a beautiful young lady and seems to be following along the right path.

What exactly is she doing to set a good example for young girls? (I really don't know that much about her to know this)

I guess I'm just wondering if we're not just assuming she's a great person on the inside because she's famous and isn't a size 0 like the other young hollywood starlets.

She's one of the few child-stars that I can recall, who hasn't made a complete fool of herself as a person. She's made a good transition from child-star to a mature actress. I'm pretty sure she's got her flaws but in the public eye she maintains that whole "good girl" status.

We might be assuming she's a great person because of these attributes and who is to say that she doesn't lead a life of reckless sexcapades, alcohol binges, etc??? I'm not saying she is a saint but her actions, up until this present time, don't suggest otherwise.

^^^^^Where you been lil mama????

Here and there, track and school work has been keeping me extremely busy lately.

aww...okay. I was just checking. Hang in there girl!;)

Maybe it's just me, but I think she's embarrassed herself as an actress with the roles she takes on. They're all goofy, physical comedy roles that usually incorporate her singing skills. And I say this as a person with a lot of knowledge of the work she has done (Disney Channel is on 24/7 in my house for my little sisters).

College Road Trip just seemed to be another chance for Raven to make outrageous faces, do physical comedy, and get another job done as an actress. But maybe that's just me. :o

While I do not like her as an actress, I will agree that it is nice not see her name plastered in the news for negative things like Lohan and Spears.

What is wrong with physical comedy? Maybe that is her intent...to be a comedic actress.

If comedy is what she wants to do then that's great. Comedians are a special type of people. It would be a bit out of place to see someone like a Stephen Colbert or a Jenny McCarthy or a Jim Carrey be in a super serious role like Macbeth or Queen Elizabeth (even if they might be good at it).

On the other hand, maybe Raven does want to be the next (female) Daniel Day Lewis or Charlize Theron and no one will give her the opportunity because of her body type or past roles, typecasting, or whatever reason.
