Raven-Symoné Weight Loss Pics: Before & After

Raven-Symoné has lost a considerable amount of weight.

But even when showing off a svelte figure at last week's People's Choice Awards and donning a cleavage-baring top, the young actress said she never felt ashamed of her body.

"I thought I looked fabulous before and nobody else did," she told People. "So, whatever."

The former That's So Raven star says she's still getting comfortable with her figure.

"Actually, now I wear bigger clothes because I don't like the way people stare at me. I liked it before. Now, you're just looking at me for the wrong reasons. Before, you were actually looking at me for a real reason."

Either way, Justin Bieber has taken notice. He Tweeted on Friday: "Raven-Symone would you like to dance with me?"

Michael Jackson Manslaughter Case: Five New Revelations From Preliminary Hearing

Last week was not a good one for Dr. Conrad Murray.

In the opening days of the preliminary hearing to determine whether or not there is enough evidence for him to stand trial on involuntary manslaughter charges in the death of Michael Jackson, prosecutors unleashed a deluge of evidence.

While much of the alleged proof of his guilt - and Dr. Murray's defense - has been out there for some time, here were five revelations that were news to THG ...

1. The children saw it. Yes, MJ's kids watched him die. Tragically, Prince and Paris Jackson watched as Murray frantically attempted to revive the pop star.

2. Murray had never done CPR. During efforts to revive MJ, his Head of Security, Faheem Muhammad, says Murray asked, "Does anyone know CPR?"

3. He allegedly tried to cover his tracks. The Michael Jackson death timeline has been debated at length, but the prosecution just played its hand.

When it became clear there was a problem, Murray waited a full 21 minutes before calling 911, at which point he failed to mention the Propofol thing.

During that time, instead, in addition to attempting to revive Michael, he phoned his girlfriend, Jackson's personal assistant and fired off several texts.

4. His behavior was beyond sketchy. Paramedic Richard Senneff said Murray was "sweating" and "hyperkinetic" in the aftermath of what happened.

Sure, that's natural given MJ's collapse, but he also failed to disclose any of the medications he had put Jackson on and would not call a time of death.

Senneff said it was clear Jackson was dead, but Murray urged him against "calling it." MJ was driven to the hospital, where ER docs found him DOA.

5. People grieve in different ways. Apparently. In Murray's case, he announced he was hungry at the hospital, went to find food and peaced out.

When deputies later showed up to begin questioning Murray at the hospital, no one was sure of his whereabouts, leaving him briefly a wanted man.

NOTE: Remember that Murray's defense team has elected to more or less sit this hearing out, let the D.A. play its hand and prepare for trial.

Since this is not the doctor's actual trial, but merely a hearing to decide if he'll stand trial (he will), the defense chose an "observe and report" tack.

Lindsay Lohan: Mentored By Tom Hardy

Actor Tom Hardy starred in Inception among other films. Now he's taking on a far more difficult challenge in play mentor to Lindsay Lohan.

Someone is trying to plant an idea in her head about how to stay sober. That's a good thing, and a fellow patient might be the best route.

She needs someone she respects and with whom she can truly relate. Otherwise, we might see Lindsay Lohan wasted again before long.

LiLo has a struck a friendship with Hardy recently after the pair were introduced by a mutual friend. They even met for dinner one night last week.

Tom is giving now Lindsay advice on how to stay sober and sources say that believe it or not, Lindsay is actually seriously really listening to him.

State Department to Jermaine Jackson: Enjoy Africa, Deadbeat!

Who would have guessed when Jermaine Jackson took a trip to Burkina Faso in Africa that he would end up stuck there because of his failure to pay child support.

His passport expired and he can't get a new one until he does.

How does that work? In 2008, Jermaine's baby mama Alejandra Jackson (mom of Jafaar and Jermajesty), had a judge issue a support order for $3,000/month.

Jermaine has racked up $91,921 in back child support since.

Under California law, if someone owes more than $2,500 a month, the state informs the U.S. government, which often will red flag that person's passport.

Once the passport expires, it cannot be renewed until the person becomes current on their outstanding support obligations. Now here's where it gets crazy.

Jermaine's passport expired during his trip, so he can't get a new one and is stuck overseas until he comes up with the cash or the U.S. Embassy intervenes.

The Embassy will often issue temporary papers so the person can return to the U.S. in certain situations, but we don't imagine they're in a huge rush here.

Who doesn't renew their passport so it doesn't expire by the time they come back from an international trip? Dude should be kept there out of stupidity.

Also, not only can he not support his kids, but he names one of them Jermajesty and the other one tries to taser Blanket. Not cool, Jermaine. Not cool.
