I wanna be PAPA Confessor+NAACP Awards Pictures

LOL!!!

Wassup blogville, I know it has been a while since I last blogged. Truth is I was ill for a while and even now, I am coughing. It's all good sha... So how have y'all been? What's been happening on blogville. I know must of you are expecting me to talk about the title of this post... welll I got YA!!!..... OK.... Lemme talk....

Well, if you watch Legend of the Seeker, a confessor is someone who has the ability to tell when someone is lying or speaking the truth. They also do this thing with their eyes where they look into someones eye and whoever it is they look at goes through a transformation called confession (OK... I am laughing now) that is the person becomes a slave to the confessor. Apparently, there are no male confessors because they end up being wicked and cruel and they exploit their powers.

(You see thte chic in the white dress...thats Mother Confessor)

Let us note here that I am not the biggest fan of Legend of the Seeker but I find the confessors power very cool. Imagine me being Papa Confessor... do you know the people I will confess???

The NAACP awards just held and some folks represented well. Raven Symone, Tyler Perry and Taraji Henson included. Winners include Pepsi We Inspire, Tyler Perry's House of Payne, Shonda Rhimes of Grey's Anatomy (I never knew she was black) and also the girl from Precious... Check out the pics

(Chris Rock and the Precious chic...Something Sible?...)

(Tyler and Taraji.... Man I love em both... Can you guys start dating? Please...)

(Now That's so Raven... she is 2 fine!!)

(Taraji, the Precious chic and Raven Symone)

(Keke Palmer never stops to amaze me)

(Raven Symone and Monique Coleman. Do you know Monique Coleman is a year older than Beyonce but still she looks amazing!!! Finer than Bee if I might add)

 Other winners include Whitney Houston, God in Me (that song is going places), Keri Hilson, Maxwell and Good Hair.

Gotta go now.... I have a class for 1pm

Stay blessed y'all. Read Proverbs 12:12

Trotcha

PS: I also wanna appear on Tyra Show.... suggestions pls...

Tinker Bell is the UN Ambassdor of Green

To some of you this is stale but to me...nah... This is a release from the site

25 October 2009 – The United Nations today named the Disney animated character Tinker Bell an “Honorary Ambassador of Green” to help promote environmental awareness among children.
The announcement came just prior to a screening at UN Headquarters in New York of the world premiere of the Walt Disney animated film, “Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure.”


“We're delighted Tinker Bell has agreed to be our Honorary Ambassador of Green,” said Kiyo Akasaka, Under-Secretary-General for Communications and Public Information. “This beloved animated character can help us inspire kids and their parents to nurture nature and do what they can to take care of the environment.”

Today's event is intended to promote environmental awareness in the lead-up to the UN climate change conference in Copenhagen in December, where countries will aim to 'seal the deal' on a new global agreement to curb greenhouse gas emissions.


Protecting the environment is an underlying theme of the Tinker Bell movies, according to the UN Department of Public Information (DPI), which adds that the Walt Disney Company uses its storytelling to inspire a love of nature and spirit of conservation in its audience.


In the latest film, Tinker Bell's greatest adventure takes place in autumn, as the fairies in Pixie Hollow are busy changing the colours of the leaves, tending to pumpkin patches and helping geese fly south for the winter. When Tinker Bell accidentally puts all of Pixie Hollow in jeopardy, she must venture out on a secret quest to set things right.


Tinker Bell Director Klay Hall, Producer Sean Lurie and cast members Mae Whitman (Tinker Bell) and Raven Symoné (Iridessa) are among those attending the premiere, which is being hosted by DPI as part of the Secretary-General's Creative Community Outreach Initiative.


The Initiative acts as a liaison between the UN and producers, directors, writers and new media professionals seeking a working relationship with the world body with the goal of raising awareness of critical global issues.

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon will be discussing climate change with a group of children in Seattle today as he begins a three-day visit to the United States city. He is expected to stress the fact that one is never too young to make a difference and contribute to a cleaner and greener world.

What do you think? I think it is kinda cool... forget the fact that Raven is in the cast...  Here are pics from the premiere... Pictures courtesy Raven Daily

Raven Symone has LOST WEIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyways, she recently appeared on The Tyra Show to promote Chris Rock's new documentary "Good Hair" and my girl was looking FINE!!! She has dropped weight and she looks FANTABOULUS!!! (I dunno if that is a word sef). Anyways, watch the video...it is a combination of Raven, Chris and Tyra... It has to be funny!!!

Message In The Music: Keep A Friend- Raven Symone

This is a new section for the blog and it is called message in the music. It is explaining the message behind songs we listen to. I am not endorsing any artist here, I am just saying the message I got from the song.

Today we are looking at Raven Symone's Keep A Friend

Here are the lyrics

[Raven Speaks]
He who asks for a friend must first prove himself friendly
Trials will come.
Will you be fair weathered or will you be steady

Sure, firm, are you my friend?

[verse 1]
We were close
Closer than most
More than friends nothing could come between us and then
Arguments and experience
Came creepin in how long has it been

[Bridge]
Didn't want you to leave
We couldn't agree
So I said to you stop talkin to me
That's where we left and now I'm reconsidering
I did the wrong thing girl listen to me

Tell me what's up (what's up)
I've had enough (enough)
How do we get back on telling you sorry
My mom said that's how you keep a friend, keep a friend (keep a friend)
Tell her you're sorry when you're wrong
That's how you keep a friend
That's the way you keep a friend (that's how you keep a friend)
That's the way you keep a friend (that's how you keep a friend)

[verse 2]
I told you things I never told nobody
We shared everything
Somebody told you I was in town
Where was I, had you gotten a reply
I apologize wish you'd come around

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

Can't even remember why we feel apart
But I'm so glad we got back together
Girl you're like a sister to me
So much more than a friend
So make sure it don't happen again

[Chorus]

What I gotta do to put this thing back together [repeat]


Source: http://www.metrolyrics.com/keep-a-friend-lyrics-raven-symone.html

This song is basically talking about how we end up breaking up relationships that could be save dby a simple 'I Am Sorry'. I had afight with a friend recently and I realized it could have been avoided by simple communication. This just goes to say that we as individuals should cherish friendships so much that when a fall out happens we should talk about it. We as individuals demand too much from our friends and that is not tight at all. A frind is a friend. There is no point defining that. When you find one that is good, cherish him or her, love the person and always be there for that friend.

Trotcha!

Goodbye Sharpay Evans meet Mandy Gilbert

Yes... Ashley Tisdale just keeps proving to me that she is an incredible actress. You know I was supposed to watch Eagle Eye, well somehow I ended up watching High School Musical 3 and Picture This. Truth is, I really wasnt interested in watching any of these movies but I changed my mind and even if High School Musical 3 was a NO!NO!! for me(We'll talk about that later. I don't know why Disney ahs to exhust all its good movies. It makes them look like Nigerian films). Anyways, I decided to watch Picture This and even if it is the "boy meets girl" kinda movie, it was cool seing Ashley act like a normal average teenager instead of the very annoying Sharpay. Yes, Sharpay could be annoying!

In this movie, Ashley is Mandy Gilbert, a loner in her high school, wanting to be noticed by the hottest guy in school Drew Patterson. Anyways, most of the movie happened in one day, and it was cool as Ashley tries hard to get the guy of her life while dealing with her over-protective father and the popular girls in school.

As I said earlier on, it is your typical high school movie. What I just love was Ashley's performance. She is good. I am also happy she has broken from the "Disney" whatever . I thank God they will not exhaust her like they did to my darling Raven Symone. I think Ashley is cool and she is a good actress. Far better than Miley Cyrus and Vanessa Hudgens. Hey! It's my opinion.

Anyways, High School Musical 3: Senior Year and Picture This are available on DVD. Go check them out and see Ashley's brillaint performances in both. Now, I think i'll go see Seven Pounds. I love Will Smith. I think Eagle Eye can wait.

PS: Ashley Tisdale is listed in Forbes 10 Top-Paid Young Entertainers and she has a movie coming out in July called 'They Came From Upstairs'

QUOTES THAT STICK

I read a whole lot. I guess you knew that already. Anyways, anytime I read a novel or a magazine or I watch a movie or I listen to the radio, I hear some quotes that sweep me of my feet. Now, I am not endorsing the people who made the quotes (even though I love some of them), I am just saying, they rock.


Here are some of them...

“Being able to create something from the ground up has been a dream. Hopefully this DVD will show there are different sides to everyone, and that if you experience new things, you will grow as a person. It's for everyone, even people that might say they are not creative, because sometimes it's not about the end product but the journey to get there. Be creative, be open minded, and enjoy life.” --Raven-Symoné on her new DVD ‘Raven Symoné Presents’.

“I have to stay in constant communication with GOD, unless I’ll get ugly real quick” – Lisa Kimmey-Winans on the TV Show ‘Gospel Today’

COLLEGE ROAD TRIP ROCKS!!!!

When College Road Trip was released, I read on the internet that it was a this and that movie. I even posted an article here to ask people what they thought and i did not get any replies so I'll say i was left in suspense. Anyways, I watched the movie and i am proud to let you know that Raven Symone does not disappoint. The movie was awesome. Martin Lawrence stepped up in his role as an overprotective dad. Also Donny Osmond made an outstanding performance with his rendition of 'So Long, farewell'. Don't mind the reviews, go and enjoy College Road Trip. Peace!

Raven Symone- Hollywood Life

I heard this song of Raven's new album and i was impressed the song made a lot of meaning and i listen to it almost every day. This is the lyrics

Raven Symone- Hollywood Life

She was a young girl, eighteen
Addicted to the dreams of being on the big screen
Then late on night, kissed her momma goodbye
Took the keys to the car and drove off in the night

Slow down
Don't be in a rush to leave
You'll never get these days again
But she was blinded by
All the stars in her eyes
What she wanted was the

[Chorus:]
Hollywood life
It's not always what it seems, oh no
It's the Hollywood life
The land of a million dreams, oh oh oh
They follow the glow
But God only knows
What it will show to you
But when the sun goes down
You can almost hear the sound
Of the broken dreams on the ground

She was raised in a small town
She's been here for a year
Her body losing weight now
Never called back home
She's embarassed to go
She don't eat, she don't sleep
All she's hearing is no

Slow down
She feels like there's no place to go
There's no one there to hold her close
So in comes the knife
With the tears in her eyes
What she wanted was the

[Chorus]

All that she wanted was to live the life
Her mom got a call from her baby late one night
It was quiet on the other end of the phone
She told her baby please come back home
Everything is gonna be alright this time

[Chorus x2]

This is serious...

I was going through the internet and I decided to visit one of Raven Symone's fan sites and this is what I meet...

CLOSED

The time has come for me to personally close the site. We were at the top of our game and I cannot be more happy with the way the site had gone. The members were all so loyal.
However I made the decision to close the site based on this past year. This was supposed to be the best year for Raven professionally and she wasted it!
The movie did great, she promoted I couldn't have been happier, I got to meet her and even though she was very standoffish it completed my goal of wanting to meet her.
The whole album deal just infuriates me! She had a great album and she refused to do anything with it. She ended up selling only 4,400 copies!!!! That is a huge flop.
She did zero promotion and didn't acknowledge it on her OWN official website which showed little to no care for this album which is sad.
What just did it for me was her management team, we were told we would get an interview for the website 4 months ago... then it comes time for it and they decide we don't need it. Cause raven is so busy right? All the promotion we did online for years was nothing but free promotion for them. I am done supporting someone who just doesn't care about her projects.
I wish all the fans well and as for me, I have finally moved on...
derrick@raven-symone.org

I know he has a right to be angry and all but this is too much. To be a fan of someone you are supposed to be there encouraging the person through thick and thin. If every fan becomes like this, raven will have no fans at all.

I feel he should reconsider. She's good. I am still very much proud of Miss Raven-Symone and I expect Derrick to be to.

PS: I am so glad www.raven4eternity.com is still on!

College Road Trip: HOT or NOT

I love Raven Symone and I think she is a good actress. When I heard she had a mainstream movie coming out, I was excited for her and that she has finally gotten a chance to show the world what she's made off.

I have not watched the movie but I saw the preview and I kind of liked it but i've been reading a number of articles and movie reviews and a number of them have not been good. So I want you reading this article to drop your opinion on College Road Trip Starring Raven Symone and Martin Lawrence.

Feel free
