Tinker Bell, most known as the fairy in Peter Pan, was named the “Honorary Ambassador of Green” by the United Nations (UN) and actress Raven Symone was on hand to celebrate the occasion.

Raven plays a character named “Iridessa” in the new “Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure” DVD, which was released to stores today. In a recent interview, she spoke about the new movie and how this particular Tinker Bell story is directed at boys as well as girls:

The underlying story of friendship is universal. And it really is a story that appeals to everyone, boys and girls and young and older. There is a great boy character, Terence [voice of Jesse McCartney]. And Tinker Bell is really a guy’s girl, a best friend, not overly tomboy but very adventuresome. She is also humble and she messes up — she’s a normal person with wings!

RATING:
Young starlet Raven Symone released her fourth studio album this week, please make sure you go out and support her buying the album!! It features stellar production from Sean Garrett, who will also be dropping an album later on this year, Oak and Mario (of the Knightwritaz) and of course The Clutch!!

Lordy, I have to honest, I got a little worried about that Double Dutch Bus single, I know Raven getting her money but c’mon now … she is too grown! However, HOWEVER this album is the epitome of grown, sexy, WOMAN-she’s woman now. So yeah, that Double Dutch Bus single is misleading indeed, there are no kiddie Disney fillers — thank Baby Daniel’s royal pimp hand!

Overall I would say Raven Symone’s new eponymous album is a good buy; and a nice birthday gift or something. There are a few bangers, with Sean Garrett, and some nice ballads. My favourite tracks would have to be Anti-Love Song, Love Me Or Leave Me, In Your Skin and Keep A Friend.

Actress/singer Raven Symone is featured on the cover of the latest issue of JET Magazine. I’ve always wondered to myself why Raven won’t step outside of the Disney persona and become a more mature artist, to fit her age a little more. But after reading the quote below, I can see why! Unlike the rest of these child stars, who grow up to be Lindsay Lohans and Britney Spears’s, she actually has a pretty solid head on her shoulders:

”I have to stay true to who I am’, says Disney star Raven-Symoné, 22, regarding her new self-titled CD, which is slated for release April 29. ‘I am not going to sing about sex, drugs and violence, that’s just not who I am’, she continues. As she prepares for the CD’s release and a 55-city Pajama Party concert tour, the confident and talented entertainer hopes this project will fill a void in today’s music. We need some music that will open people’s minds up and give them other things to think about other than the same things we have been giving them for a while. Maybe my album can do that.’

While the 5-foot-2-inch singer-actress stays true to her music, she’s also staying true to her image by being comfortable with her size. ‘When I look in the mirror and see how voluptuously fabulous I am, I can’t even worry about it. I am just fabulous.’”

Well, here it is! The Think2wice premiere of Raven-Symoné’s new music video ‘Double Dutch Bus’ from the movie she’s staring in entitled College Road Trip opposite Martin Lawerence! Go Raven! I ain’t mad atcha, either!

New music from Raven-Symoné! The song is called ‘Double Dutch Bus’ and it will appear on the College Road Trip soundtrack, which will be Raven’s new Disney movie staring opposite Martin Lawrence in theaters March 7th. The movie, as well as the single, sounds fun! I’m not complaining. I think what Raven’s doing is pretty cool, I saw the movie’s trailer and it seems like a great family movie! I think ‘Double Dutch Bus’ was produced by The Clutch becos I hear their trademark in the beginning plus Danja is all over this track, lol!

US Magazine recently released a list of the top 10 most powerful girls in Hollywood, and R&B singer Rihanna and actress and Disney star Raven Symone snagged the 3rd and 9th spots, respectively. Rihanna’s “Umbrella” was the song of the summer, spending seven weeks at the top of the charts, but the singer says she’s not done yet: “I’m looking at getting into film, and I’m working on my own businesses.” Raven Symone, who has just launched Ravensymonepresents.com, has been dubbed the $400 million woman by Ebony for the estimated revenue her “That’s So Raven” show has brought Disney. Hot damn that’s a lot of dough! Peep the rest of the list after the cut.
