    Raven-Symoné just can't catch a break. Fans nor the media will let her live down the controversial remarks she made about "ghetto names" on 'The View' last Thursday (Oct 8). Believe it or not, there was a time when the actress fought against discrimination (including racism) and made standing for what's right a cool thing to do. Get ready for a trip down memory lane as we highlight three times the 'That's So Raven' star kicked ass on Disney by detailing right from wrong.

  • Raven-Symoné Opens Up About "Ghetto Names" Remark: "I Have Never Discriminated Against a Name"

    Actress Raven-Symoné has been taking a lot of heat for the controversial comments she made on 'The View 'regarding her stance on hiring someone with a "ghetto name." The backlash for her outlandish comments continues to haunt her career, but before anymore assumptions could be placed upon her, Raven decided to speak up.

  • Raven-Symoné's Dad on Daughter's "Ghetto Names" Comment: "She's a Grown A** Woman, Making Grown A** Mistakes"

    During an episode of 'The View' on Thursday (Oct. 8), Raven-Symoné stuck her foot in her mouth [again] after revealing her controversial opinions on "ghetto names." Despite the outpouring of backlash the actress has generated since making the comments, not everyone turned their back on her. Raven's father, Christopher B. Pearman, penned an open letter to his daughter admitting he doesn't support her opinions (even stating "she says dumb s**t"), but he's still her biggest fan.

  • Rosie O'Donnell Stops Ex-Wife Michelle Rounds' Suicide Attempt, Saves Her Life

    The past few months have definitely been rough for former 'The View' co-host, Rosie O'Donnell, after her daughter Chelsea was reported missing, then later found; and the custody battle between she and ex-wife Michelle Rounds, over her youngest daughter Dakota, has gotten ugly. But even despite all the back and forth between the two regarding the legal issue, O'Donnell still managed to be there for Rounds during her recent suicide attempt, stopping a tragedy and saving her life.

  • Ellie Goulding Tells Crowd to Stop Fighting at Summer Series Concert

    Everyone knows that outdoor concerts can get a little rowdy but "Burn" singer Ellie Goulding probably never thought that a Summer Series show on a beautiful Sunday (Aug. 30) would incite violence so brutal that she would be forced to stop her performance and tell the crowd to stop fighting. Held in Bellahouston Park, an estimated 35,000 people attended the event to view headliner Calvin Harris, who frequently collaborates with Goulding, and John Newman.

  • Rosie Perez is Leaving 'The View', Only Raven Symone and Whoopi Goldberg Remain

    All of those rumors about Rosie Perez wanting to leave ABC's The View have apparently been rooted in truth because we now know that she will not be renewing her contract with the show. Perez originally signed on for one year and has apparently decided that it's time to leave the morning chat fest rather than stick around. Her departure isn't exactly a shock, especially when you take into consideration the fact that she spent much of this season looking uncomfortable and struggling to weigh in on hot button topics.

  • Is ABC's 'The View' Looking to Make Molly Sims a Permanent Guest Host?

    It's absolutely no secret that ABC's The View is, once again, going through some major changes. It was confirmed a few weeks ago that Raven Symone has officially been added as a panelist for the weekday chat fest, but they still need to make more changes. Usually during the summer The View will announce a few new co-hosts for the upcoming season and this time around Molly Sims seems to be a front runner.

  • ABC's 'The View' Has Officially Named Raven-Symone as Its' Newest Co-host

    It looks like ABC's The View is finally making some solid moves to try and save the show from cancellation. The current season has been nothing short of disastrous, with Rosie O'Donnell quitting just a few short months after breezing back in the door. The ratings have been pretty awful and so the powers-that-be have begun to take steps to actively improve things, beginning with the official hiring of Raven-Symone.

  • Rosie O'Donnell's Ex Michelle Rounds Skips Custody Court Hearing

    Rosie O'Donnell arrived in a New York City courtroom earlier this week ready to do battle with her ex over custody of their adopted 2-year-old but there was a problem, Michelle Rounds was a no-show. Just last week Rounds spoke to the press about O'Donnell's parenting style, claiming that she puts their child at risk by downing a bottle of wine and smoking weed each night. Rounds has filed for sole custody and also has requested that O'Donnell be subjected to random drug testing. Unfortunately, it seems that little was resolved because Rounds opted to sit out the hearing, claiming that the toddler in question was sick.

  • ABC Needs Raven-Symone to Help Save 'The View'

    It's just about that time of year for networks to march out their brightest and most profitable stars in the hopes of grabbing some fantastic advertising for next season. At these upfronts, cast members gather to help promote the fall television season and it's often when we first catch a glimpse of some of the stars that will hopefully be on the rise in the coming months. ABC knows that its' daily chatfest, The View is sinking like the Titanic and that means they are desperate to bring someone in that will not only steady the ratings, but also bring a new audience in as well. Raven-Symone recently completed a few weeks sitting in as a guest-host and apparently the network has decided that they really need to get her to sign on the doted line for next season.

  • Barbara Walters Wants Monica Lewinsky on 'The View'

    Could Monica Lewinsky really be contemplating coming to ABC's 'The View,' at least as a guest host? When that notion first started circulating last week, it was quickly squashed as just a rumor, but the fact is that the floundering chatfest needs a real shot in the arm if there is any hope of it being renewed for another season. Jenny McCarthy recently confirmed that one year after leaving, producers failed to convince her to return to the show, and there are not too many other names even being mentioned. As it turns out, Barbara Walters is pushing hard for Lewinsky to join the show in any capacity.

  • Jenny McCarthy Tells Howard Stern That She Passed on Offer to Return to 'The View'

    While we have been hearing all sorts of rumors of chaos behind the scenes at ABC's The View and various names being floated as possible new co hosts for the round table chatfest, nothing has been solid. Supposedly the network loves Raven-Symone and were thrilled with her recent stint as a fill-in host. Mario Cantone is also a frequent guest that could feasibly be promoted to a regular member of the panel but when asked about the possibility he always seems a bit skittish. One person that won't be returning to the fold is Jenny McCarthy.

  • Will Raven-Symoné or Mario Cantone Replace Rosie O'Donnell on 'The View'?

    Several weeks after Rosie O'Donnell ended her stint on ABC's 'The View,' those working behind the scenes have beem scrambling to figure out what comes next. O'Donnell's tension with Whoopi Goldberg was palpable even on camera, so with her exit things are naturally a bit calmer, but the show is still hanging by a thread. The ratings have been absolutely awful and the environment at times is so toxic that even Barbara Walters refuses to return even as a guest host. While cancellation seems a good possibility, the producers are still trying to figure out what new talent really works at the roundtable, and a few front runners for regular spots have emerged. Who could replace her at on the daytime chatfest? According to a report by Radar Online, "They really like Raven-Symoné and [comedian] Mario Cantone could get a recurring contract. They will have a more in-depth selection process than last time. The panel that debuts in the fall fall will be the panel for the year. Ever since Rosie left, the cast is all at peace. Everyone really realizes the show isn't doing that well, but at least there's peace behind the scenes now," says an insider.

  • Mario Cantone's Future at 'View' Unknown

    The last year has been a time of complete turmoil for ABC's 'The View.' Between revolving cast members, Barbara Walters leaving and the epic fights between Rosie O'Donnell and Whoopi Goldberg it has hardly been a great environment to work in. While O'Donnell deciding to quit only six months into her contract may have eased some of the obvious tension, it certainly has not fixed anything and you are hard-pressed to find anyone with something good to say about the once-great daily roundtable show. Mario Cantone often sits in as a regular guest on the show and seems to be one of the few people who still loves chatting with the ladies.
