LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Raven-Symone, star of "That's So Raven," is attached to star in the Walt Disney Pictures remake of "Adventures in Babysitting."

Symone also has signed an acting and producing deal with Disney that includes a guaranteed pay or play on one movie, with an option for a second. It is uncertain whether "Babysitting" will be part of that deal.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm not sure about this. I loved Adventures in Babysitting in its original form.

Dear god I hope not! I HATE the way she acts... or should I say over-acts. I thought it was just in That's So Raven but I saw some Lifetime movie with her and while it was toned down, I still found her annoying. Adventures in Babysitting is a great movie, hopefully they don't ruin it by casting her.

I don't think it's a good look. I love the original. I can't see RS in that role at all.

Oh God NO!!!!!

Please, the original is a classic in my book. Why must they mess with the originals!!!!!!!

I've only seen a few remakes that I actually liked!

I'm sorry, but she is overweight, and I don't think she is setting a good example for little girls. She says all this stuff about how she's proud that she isn't super skinny, and that it's ok to be a big girl, but seriously, obesity isn't healthy.

It's ridiculous that they're remaking this movie. Hollywood has no originality these days.

Stop remaking movies and tv shows from the 80's!!! Stop ruining the movies and tv shows of my childhood!!!

Oh please - she isn't obese! Yes, a little heavy, but a LOT of that is her ginormous breasts. I would venture to say she's about a 14. I think she's setting a great example for young girls. Much better than Mary-Kate Olson or that Amanda Bynes girl who is clearly starving herself now that she is off the "kids" shows.

As to the movie, I don't think Raven going into the Blues Bar and singing the blues is gonna be quite as funny.

*applause* I'm full figured myself. There are some girls, before Raven that are looking for full figured role models. Unfortuentley, they are dealt with Mary-Kate Olsen and Lindsay Lohan. It's sad to see Hollywood producers forcing many women to be twigs. The average woman is 5'4" and weighs 140 lbs and is a size 14. The average supermodel is 5'11" and weighs 117 lbs and wears a size 4. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out who's underweight. The BMI for a supermodel is 16.3, which is underweight. As for the average woman for her height and weight, it is a 24, which is considered normal. The sad part is that almost half of first through third graders wish that they would be thinner and half of nine to ten year olds feel good about dieting. Marilyn Monroe was not overweight, she was 5'5" and weigh 135 lbs. Now if she was here today, her agents would tell her to lose weight.

Tiffani Thiessen was told by producers to lose weight. There is nothing wrong with her. She just have curves, that's all. There is nothing wrong with having curves. I would rather look like Tiffani Thiessen than a twig like Lindsay Lohan. They're both the same height. Now, who's body image is better: Tiffani or Lindsay? If I have curves, but not overweight and producers told me to lose weight, I would tell them to find someone else, becuase I would be happy with my curves.

Off my soapbox for that. As for the movie, I'm not so sure about that.

Wow, they wanted Tiffani Thiessen to lose weight?!?! That is ridiculous..

Yes Raven is slighty overwieght not OBESE, but like xo_kathy stated, the girl is top heavy. Sheesh, do you have to be emaciated to be a role model for young girls????

It's true about Tiffani, even the late Aaron Spelling (no disrespect) told her to lose weight. I guess he wanted for her to have a body like Tori.

I hate this Raven chick. I want to slap her 2 in the ear. She used to be sweet when she was a little girl. Now that ADD that she has is not sweet at all. Yes, so I think 2 slaps to the ear would calm her down so she'd shutup for 5 minutes at least.

I know that the kiddie market is lucrative for her right now, but I wish she would become an adult and break out of the kiddie mold..

As a larger girl (who btw goes to the gym everyday and does 30 minutes of cardio and weights for 30) I see someone like Raven, who while not a great actress, as someone that girls can look up to. Yes, she is not tiny, but she is also not that big really. As some people stated she is prolly around a 14, maybe a 12 and that is AVERAGE.

It's about time that someone who was healthy looking was on a show that girls can look up to. I teach middle school and it would make some of you sick to hear these girls talk about themselves. I had a 11 year old who is a size 8 tell me she was too fat and needed to lose weight. I had a student 3 years ago who almost died (she alctually had to be sent to a treatment center because she needed medical care round the clock) because her seventh grade boyfriend told her she was fat, she became anexoric. I had a girl who wears a size medium cry after school one day because her cheerleading coach told her to lose 10 lbs or else she was off the squad. I almost lost two sisters in college to anexoria. I would much rather see a healthy (yes it is possible to be bigger and still healthy) bigger girl then someone who starves themself as a role model for my students anyday.

*off my soapbox now*

That being said people need to stop messing with movies from my childhood.

BobbyTheDon · #15 07-18-2006, 02:05 AM

Ummm...this Raven chick is fat. Fat fat fat.

FAT FAT FAT FAT FAT FAT FAT

OBESE OBESE OBESE OBESE.

I don't applaud her. She needs to lose weight. If you guys applaud her, then I applaud you for trying to compete with Kobayashi.

A Size 14 is large. Very large. She's a baby baluga

FAT FAT FAT. LARGE LARGE. Extra Large. SUPERSIZE ME.

She sucked in the Cosby Show.

Rudy is cuter, and I don't mean the GC'er.
