  • That's So Suite Life of Hannah Montana Sequel to include Raven

    Hey, Disney is doing another TV mix up of their show, a sequel to "That's So Suite Life of Hannah Montana"-if you will... This time the roster will include the Shows, The Suite Life on Deck, Corey in the House (featuring Raven Symone) Wizards of Waverly Place and Hannah Montana... IMore can't wait to see Raven back on the lil screen a bit of psycho-babble ensues below, but it's just questions for thought... I was just wondering how wierd it's gping to be as many of the stars have guest starred on other shows as major characters... for example what if Corey and Justin (WOWP) character meet up, wouldn't Justin look like Corey's old BF? and what about Alex (WOWP) and Hannah, doesn't Alex look just like Mikayla whom she hates? lol I wonder how they'll play this off

    Raven-Symone is a singer and actress perhaps most famous for her roles as Olivia on "The Cosby Show" and Raven on "That's So Raven." This Atlanta native has been in Showbiz since she was a baby. hide show

    I "so" love Raven!!!!! For one thing, she is one of the most down-to-earth celebrities I can think of. I have never heard of her bashing anyone else or judging people based on their looks. Plus, Raven is very talented, as she can both act and sing very well. As for her weight, I get so sick of hearing people saying she is fat or obese when she is not heavy at all, just not a "stick figure" (gag). In fact, I wouldn't even call her slightly chubby, sometimes, depending on what she is wearing, she looks quite thin. Kudos to Raven for not caring what others think of her, for that, I think she is an outstanding role model for girls of all ages!!! Raven is one of those rare types of people who are both beautiful on the inside and out!

    A very amazing actress! hide show

    Okay, I've liked Raven ever since seeing her on the Cosby Show. So I was surprised when she had her own show coming out called "That's So Raven"! Now, she's one of my all-time favorites actresses. I also like her as a singer, she is not bad at all! Only comes second to Anastacia! Anyways, I think she sets a very good example to younger fans but also shows appreciation for us older fans. I think she's simply one of the best actresses and singers out there and I've really turned into a fan throughout the years. Keep it up, Raven!

    FINAL GRADE: A+
