Oh nose she didn’t!
Age’s finally catching up with Jared Leto. Now he just looks scary. Like an aging pretty boy.
she looks a little creepy now to me.
She looks fabulous. She shouldn’t lose any more weight, but I am personally happy to see she slimmed down.
She had softer features before, now that she lost weight the angles of her face are all hard.
looks like gastric bypass face to me…
She was among the most popular guesses for a blind recently about a celebrity who claims they just lost a bunch of weight by “dieting”, but they really went outside of the U.S. to have gastric surgery.
What’s with the bridesmaid dress and toddler hairstyle (complete with the bow)? Flower girl chic?
I speak from experience, when you are heavy and you lose alot of weight, you never think you are thin enough. I lost 115 pounds and was wearing size 30 straight leg levi’s and thought I could be smaller. Eventually she will balance out and get to a weight she can maintain…I did. I go up and down within about 15 pounds, but I have kept the majority of the weight off for over 20 years. And, withno prepackaged diet program or faddy diet. Just don’t eat too much and exercise…a lot. It’s work.
Loosing too much too soon – surgically or otherwise – leaves much to be desired. Sorry Raven baby. Seems like damn if you do and damn if you don’t. I guess I need a little time to adjust my vision and get use to the new look.
Re: the article on William and Catherine – what I don’t understand is why she’s called “Princess Catherine.” I THOUGHT (and I may be wrong) that she would have to be called “Princess William” because she takes her husband’s name.
I know Diana was commnly called “Princess Diana” but she was really “Diana, Princess of Wales.” And she was called that because Charles was the Prince “OF” Wales.
As far as I know, William is not the prince “OF” anything yet, so Catherine is not the “princess of” anything. She’s a duchess, or she’s “Princess William,” but she’s not “Princess Catherine.” Am I mistaken?
Is that a lipo scar near her knee?
All the cute is gone; she looks at least 35 now.
I hate to be a bitch but since she’s already gone for gastric bypass she needs to go and get a nose job STAT.
In the second picture her mouth looks strange..great job on the weight loss but she needs a new hairstyle and some fashion tips.
She looks much older now. I would have thought the person in this pic was in their mid 30’s. I kinda thought she was cute the way she was.
This is why it’s so important to always try and maintain your weight. Drastic weight loss ages you. Kudos to her for losing weight and I’m sure she feels much better without all that extra weight, but unfortunately she added about 10 years to her looks.
Benny – you are correct, but shortly after the wedding, Clarence House stated that it was okay to call Kate Princess Catherine,even if it’s not exactly official. The public was going to do it anyway. Clarence House said that they weren’t going to correct anyone because of it.
Kaiser, again you are being to hard on Wills and Kate. When they said that they weren’t going to have servants, they meant at their home in Wales while he is deployed. I think having a staff in their London residence is a different matter.
awww no :(… she should have kept some of the weight on it looked good on her but good for her for presumably being healthier (not sure how she lost the weight but generally being a smaller size makes it easier to be more active)
@benny – seems like she has the Queen’s blessing for this one…
“Despite Will and Kate’s new official titles— duke and duchess, respectively—Will made it clear at the wedding that he will continue to be addressed as Prince William, meaning Kate by default will be Princess Catherine, reports Vanity Fair writer Katie Nicholl. This may rattle some family hierarchies— the Countess of Wessex had wanted to be known as Princess Sophie, but had been forbidden by the Queen.”
OMG she looks JUST like Basement Baby!
HMMM perhaps Beyonce’s Daddy has another love child!??!?!?!
she looks like an ugly version of corinne bailey rae… 🙁
She looks like Little Orphan Annie!
Her face reminds of Star Jones and Nicole Richie now. Must be the eyes/really thin face.
im glad she lost weight because she needed to… she lost way to much way to fast.. she looks old, tired and haggared. i dont know if its the picture of if her nose just really looks that bad! she now needs to start dressing her age. and not like a a teenage slut which seems to be how she normally dresses.
@ Kaiser:
Chris Evans seems kind of meh, I don‘t get why people hate him.
Me neither. He strikes me as a nice guy.
It’s that hollow look people get when they lose a bunch of weight. Jennifer Hudson has managed for the most part to avoid it, but still in some photos she looks like her skin is just hanging on her. As for Raven, she DEF looks like she’s wearing a people suit. If you look weight faster that your skin can shrink, this is what happens. It’s fine to want to lose weight and be healthy. She was getting really big. She’s always been full figured but for a minute it bordered on unhealthy which I guess is why she decided to diet/exercise/get surgery/whatever. But it was so fast that the rest of her body hasn’t caught up.
LOVE her hair.
lol Relli
She looks normal size now…. albeit pale
I love her natural hair too!
keep it up girl!
Wow ppl were all over her for being heavy. Now she’s too thin. Ughh. I think she looks fine and she still looks cute to me & not 35
no way it is exercise = she has no muscle tone in her legs at all!
Ugh. Are people *really* thinking these negative things about Raven Symone, or do people here think it’s a requirement to bitch about *every* one, regardless, on this site? She looks beautiful since she lost the weight! Nose job/drawn face/looks 35- WTH? No, no, and no. Her weight loss enhances her beauty. Yes she was pretty before but she looks 10 times better now. This BS about women losing their “softness” when they drop a necessary 50-100 lbs. You only lose your “softness”, when you’re young OR old, if you go UNDER weight. Weight almost always makes you look older when you’re young. Conversely, generally, a little extra weight makes you look younger when you’re old. In alot of pictures I saw from when she was heavy, Raven could’ve passed for a 33 year old mother of two. She’s got it going on now and actually looks her (young) age. And she’s a knockout. I bet she *acts* younger now too, not carrying around all that extra weight and being out of shape and all.
ZOMG!!!!!!!!!!
She looks old!
She looks good. BUT the style is that of a 5-year old. Imagine a 5-year old with this hairdo and dress. Except for the heels of course. 😀
@Jennifer…I feel like that sometimes too! Sometiems it seems like people just want to hate…
I suppose it’s better that we sit behind our computers and criticize strangers then be really hard on our friends and family to their faces..
Either way, haters gonna hate 😛
Also, I sign on to what to you said—I think she looks gorgeous and happy and probably feels great.
@Jojo maybe you’re a body builder or athlete so your standards are really high but yes she does have muscle tone in her leg. You can clearly see her calf muscle in the top pic. To me she looks like she works out. She appears moderately toned/healthy. Not flabby. I work out about 5 times per week and my calf muscles are not as apparant as RS’.
jennifer@ I agree with everything you just said what are people bitching about I don’t even like Raven and I think she looks damn good.
this whole weight thing just gets tiring sometimes and depressing most time and annoying all of the time
She looks nice and I love her dress.
i give her 3-6 months TOPS at this weight, and then food will come calling again
same goes for Jordin Sparks
Body wise- she looks good. Face wise- she has lost the cute. 🙁 Yikes.
She doesn’t look healthy or toned, she looks like she had surgery of some kind and dropped too much weight too fast. And what the frak is going on with her lips?!
I agree with the comment that Raven has little muscle in her calf. It looks like liposuction or calf reduction surgery to me. I also agree with the general statement that at some point you have to choose between your body and your face. If you exercise regularly (without going overboard) and eat a healthy diet (without cutting out an entire food group which so many diets do) then maybe not because you will have retained your normal weight including extra fat in your face. For so many of these celebrities, they clearly go overboard with the weight loss, and you see it in their haggard and wrinkly faces. It’s no surprise that so many of them look 5-10 years older than their actual age (recent examples include Sienna Miller and Kate Middleton). Raven seems to have done something drastic to lose this weight seemingly overnight and it has taken a toll on her face. Yes, she was slightly overweight but had a cute face. I hope she gains some weight back. Not everyone is naturally skinny and meant to be that way!
Maybe she should get some fillers to soften up her face.
She looks older, not good, and her nose looks bigger. She used look cute, oh well at least she has a nice body.
Re: Raven – She looks… definitely ‘different’. Something about it strikes me as odd, but I don’t know what, specifically. She looks so different from picture to picture every few weeks. One thing I DO know is that I absolutely HATE this dress with a passion. (I don’t care for this hairstyle on her, I think long waves look better.)

Re: Chris Brown’s Tattoo – My first impression was the same as Celeb.com’s, that it was a creepy looking, particularly ‘gummy’ smiley, as opposed to a skull under a smiley. An assinine tattoo for the biggest ass we know.
But I guess he can still feel hardcore when he goes to walmart.
Re: Raven – Forgot to Add – Something I noticed when I was looking closely at these pictures of her, are her ankles & wrists.
She has very small ankles & wrists, which is an obvious way of telling someone has a small frame. (As opposed to someone like Khloe Kardashian, just off the top of my head, who you could tell had a larger build, just by looking at her joints.) I myself have always had very small wrists & ankles, but have been fortunate not to struggle with my weight (or to be as top-heavy in the breast department, as Raven, & as my mother who ended up having breast reduction.)
I really think it *is* a difference in the look of her face that everyone is noticing, that maybe the weight she’s lost ended up looking like ‘too much’ in her face. But we all know that it’s near IMPOSSIBLE to control the way your weight distributes where your face is concerned.. That really isn’t her fault. I do think her body looks healthy (but as someone else said, she can’t afford to lose anymore without looking too thin.)
I think she looks as she does not just because she has a smaller frame but because she should never have gained as much weight as she did. A young girl should be reasonably healthy and she always talked about REFUSING to loose weight and something (her health?) was probably the wake up call she needed.
It happened suddenly rather than gradually as she should have ALWAYS done.
I just hope she’s actually healthy. I’ve always kinda liked her.
And her hair is natural and lovely. Leave it alone. (Spoken like the mother of 2 mixed-ethnicity children.)
OMFG, people, cut her a LTTTLE slack. She’s been heavy for awhile and with that she’s not sure how to dress her new body. It takes some time to get used to a new body. She’s lost at least 50 plus pounds, which is pretty significant. I give her 2 cool points for going weaveless as well. If I have to see another weaved out hollywood starlet, I’m going to stab my eyes out with a weaving needle.
I think she was cute looking as a bigger girl. She did need to lose some weight, but I think she’s lost too much. She could do with gaining 10 pounds and maintaining it at that.
@ min76
Hmm….like, WOW!
So, I guess you must think JHud ‘needs’ a nosejob too, huh?
Raven has an ‘African-American’ nose, K?!
And just cause her overall face lost weight DOES NOT mean her BLACK nose needs fixin’!
I call bullshit on that one, for real. 😈
Raven has a small frame so I think this is wonderful, that she has lost that weight and could be much healthier for her.
She looks good too. I don’t understand the criticism.
Raven Look’s very beautiful even though she may look different.Hope whatever she is doing keep it up.
This is always how it goes when someone loses weight. First everyone is bitching because you’re heavy and then when you lose weight you’re “too skinny” or “don’t need to lose any more weight”. The only one who is allowed to decide that is the person the body belongs to. I lost 90lbs over a years time and people are like “you don’t need to lose any more weight”. Thanks for the input, sweetie, but that ain’t your call.
All I know is RS got a lot of crap when she was overweight and now it seems she’s getting a lot of crap for losing the weight. That’s BS. And people talk about weight loss surgery like it’s some magic bullet and you lose weight instantly and easily. As someone who has had the surgery I can tell you that’s false. It helps w/portion control, but you still have to work at it.
i think she looks great especially with her natural hair… i am so loving her look go head raven.
@malachais: She looks good. BUT the style is that of a 5-year old. Imagine a 5-year old with this hairdo and dress. Except for the heels of course.
Unless you’re Suri.
I think Raven needed to lose a little weight she was on the unhealthy side. I think she shouldn’t lose any more b/c it’d look gross and is borderline now. But mainly I think she needs to stay healthy-maybe this is what healthy is for her. At my top-heavy height of 5 2 I’m I’ve been told that 125-135 is my ideal weight. Unfortunately I don’t like skinny and I like meat on my body. At 137 I start to feel like I can see my bones and if I don’t have a belly and am being generally healthy 137 is my limit.
I think she looks so good. I don’t love the dress, but I love the hair. She really lost so much weight, good for her!
@RHONYC as an African American woman I know all about our noses I look at my nose everyday in the mirror and I love it!!!BUT Raven lost too much weight too quickly and her nose is prevalent unlike what it was when she had weight in her face as others said she probably had Gastric Bypass. SO if she’s already done plastic surgery why not a nose job while she’s at it (or fillers in the face to even her out). NOTICE I ADMITTED IT WAS A BITCHY COMMENT.
She looks good
Wow! good for her 🙂 However she lost the weight, I’m sure she’s healthier and feels alot better!
I think she’s a doll and my girls love her movies. Especially the bridesmaid one, where her and another girl ruin the wedding 😉 that one had me lol and I’m kinda burnt out on kiddie movies altogether.
Buuut, and I hate to say it, I don’t think she’s as pretty/cute with such a thin face 🙁
but she is pretty, and maybe I just need to get used to it.
looks like gastric bypass face to me…

I thought the same thing before I clicked on the picture. She has the same look around the eyes as Star Jones.
She looks good, although I’m not a fan of the dress.
@The Original Bellaluna – “And her hair is natural and lovely. Leave it alone. (Spoken like the mother of 2 mixed-ethnicity children.)”
I hope this wasn’t in response to my negative comment about her hairstyle (mentioning that I really liked the long wavy look better). I just meant the style, & not because I think natural Afro-textured hair is unattractive. (or that women with natural hair should be expected to get a weave or chemical treatment in order to have a pretty hairstyle.) =)
—
@mln76 – I’m afraid I agree with RHONYC, in regards to the nose job comment. I think her nose gives her face a lot of character, & it’s really nice that she hasn’t given in to the pressure to mess with everything like a lot of 20-somethings we’re seeing right now.
—
@Jaye E – “I lost 90lbs over a years time and people are like “you don’t need to lose any more weight”. Thanks for the input, sweetie, but that ain’t your call.”
I do get your point. But I don’t think there’s anything wrong with expressing that she appears to be in a good place with her weight (on the thinner side of that spectrum), & that losing more may not be flattering, or could make her appear unhealthy.
—
@Kasey – “At 137 I start to feel like I can see my bones and if I don’t have a belly and am being generally healthy 137 is my limit.”
You really can’t ever go by ‘ideal weight’ calculators… They can give you an *idea* of what’s ‘healthy’ for someone your height, but it can’t take into account your proportions, or individual characteristics (such as shape/build/breast size). I don’t think it’s ‘unfortunate’ at all that you’re happy with your body exactly where it is, instead of comparing yourelf or adhering to a ‘default’ scale. =) Good for you!
love the hair
love the dress
love the shoes
love her make up
jewelery sucks
I ADORE Raven . . . LOVE HER . . . and I like seeing her whatever her weight, whatever her hairstyle, clothing style, etc.
@ mln76
uhhhh, yeah. so…
you’re a Black chick. great. good for you. POWAH TO THE PEOPLE! *mayjah eyeroll*
as an African-American, Black chick myself, i have an emotional investment in Raven-Simone. i’ve always loved her & she is a total winner.
Raven-Simone warmed my (impenetrable black heart) as the young, adorable ‘Olivia’ on ‘The Cosby Show’.
years later at my shagrin, warmed my own daughter’s heart in her successful run in her own show ‘That’s so Raven!’.
she (along with Hilary Duff) showed a nation of misinformed girls that it is alright to have MEAT-ON-YOUR-BONES.
Raven-Simone for YEARS wouldn’t conform to Hollywood’s ‘ANA’ nonsense & stayed a ‘robust’ young woman.
i’d like to believe that her doctor may have found a high-blood pressure/overweight problem & she needed to get that extra weight off.
she was originally roomies with La Lohan, so i seriously doubt if she is ‘addicted’ to any weight-loss anything or drugs.
my own kid has a ‘non-narrow’ nose on her and is Raven’s completion…but i would never, EVER think its cool to say, “honey…just get a few centimeters off at the side, jussayin”. that’s how Tori Spelling got so f*cked up. she said her mother ridiculed her looks (she ‘does’ look exactly like Aaron) from middle school age.
rambling aside…
THERE. IS. NOTHING. WRONG. WITH. HAVING. A. WIDE. BROAD. HUMPED. BLACK. NOSE.
i’ll repeat: ain’t nothing wrong with having a BLACK. NOSE.
anyone who thinks so is FULL. O. SCHEIßE! 🙂
fin.
@ Alexa
right there with you. she is a love. 😉
What’s up with the awful hairstyle? She used to have great hair (or weave/wig )on That’s so Raven! Solange aka Basement Baby also has that hairstyle!! FUG!
She looks a lot like Nicole Richie! specially the eyes…
I hope she is happy and healthy. I like her hair!
Whoa. She looks a little off.
Hate the dress. Loving her hair. I wish I had curly hair like hers.
raven looks adorable, but damn, she lost that weight so fast! i like her hair much better natural than in the stupid weave she used to wear.
Whoa she looks so old, i could not recognize her untill i took a closer look at the pic…..she was prettier be4
um so when is she comin’ out da closet anyway..?
I don’t really have an opinion about her weight. I just think it’s cool that she’s rockin her natural hair.
she is very pretty and im glad she lost weight but its good to be fat Raven is very lucky…………
