Guess who was spotted arriving to the premiere of Columbia Pictures’ Julie & Julia in Westwood, California on Monday afternoon? Hint: After successfully showing her acting chops in a biopic movie earlier this year, she has been getting a lot of movie offers..
It’s actress/singer Naturi Naughton! Best known for being the girl that got kicked out of 3LW, she is now getting her acting on. She co-starred in the Notorious B.I.G. biopic playing Lil Kim and this year she is the star of the new FAME remake in theaters September 25th.

whyd she get kicked out of 3lw?
wHO THE F U C K IS THIS????? WHO CARES…… I CANT BELIEVE SHE WAS A JUMP OFF IN THE BIGGIE MOVIE… PLAYIN LIL KIM….
LOL
Good for her. The chicks from 3LW wronged the hell out of her.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks she was a nasty disgrace in the movie. What a damn hollywood skank! That’s why I don’t have a favorite actress, they all feel the need to get down in dirty in roles and be naked. People like her are extremely horrible role models, for women who want to get in the business. I know she was portraying Lil Kim, whose always been a whore, but damn she really did get nasty.
i am so happy for her.she is so talented and is about to hit bigger than 3lw ever did…god don’t like ugly
You know 3LW kicked her out for being darkskin, but here are the facts. She’s actually prettier than the buck-toothed girl with the ugly legs and the spanish girl who in two years will look like a camel.
Naturi is actually a very beautiful black woman, seeing her naked in the BIGGIE (big upps to B.I.G, rip pa). seeing her naked was beautiful art, she has an incredible body.
That hate that 3LW did so they could cross over on DISNEY was very nasty and racist. in the end those other 2 hoes, will get EXACTLY what they put out.
RACISM within the black and spanish community is a damn shame.
Mannnnn, didn’t things work out in her favor in the end. The other girls replaced her thinking they were mainstream gold and though they transitioned into the amazingly successful Cheetah Girls, they’re total lames now in search of work. She, on the other hand, has done Broadway and taken on a very serious role. She’s now a serious actress and Keily is doing lame low budget films with garbage humor while Adrienne has had to admit to leaking shots of her naked butt for attention. LOL
I think she did a great job in the Biggie movie. I’ve seen Naturi act b4 & it always seemed so sweet and innocent. But the Biggie movie she really came off as lil Kim….thats why she got a lot of praise for her acting ability..and Im really not surprised she’s getting a lot of offers. She’s has so har proven herself to be versatile which is a good look.
aw she looks so pretty.Good luck w/fam!.I would like to see that!
@Heathcliff
Negro, I don’t give a damn what you or anyone else believes lmao. You’re an extremely delusional entity too. Unless there’s another Heathcliff the pussycat on here, you made your second h*mosexual confession on that Kanye thread. If that’s you, and you’re a h*mosexual, that’s you. I really don’t care. This is the time for that, but don’t be a h*mo and then throw around allegations, smh. It makes you look like a wishful thinker. On top of that, you’re on cyberspace, amongst people that don’t exist, lying about yourself. Carry on. The only black men that don’t find many of these black womens’ conduct and mentality objectionable are f*ggots or f*ggot-ass negroes. Which one are you?
She was the best singer in 3lw. Yall see they fell off and did the disney thing because wasnt nobody checking for them no more. Im happy shes doing her thing acting and maybe soon she’ll bless us with a solo album.
Some people couldnt see her as lil kim because of completion IMO. Naturi was good in the movie to me and she’ll keep on shining.
all i am going to say is that the young girl is talented. as for her showing parts of her body in the movie, she is a grown and she can make that decision for herself. there was no need to get offended by her doing that because she did it for the effect of the person she was portraying. we havent ever heard about this lady in a manner otherwise worthy of being a lady except for being in this movie. yes, many actresses probably wouldnt have done it but you cant compare her to everyone else. let her show her demisions and let her talents show. she has mostly been known for broadway so she was already somewhat established. dont be so quick to judge the young lady… and yes she is a beautiful young black woman. and as we all know she protrayed lil kim for the woman she was, aint no point in being mad about that.
Since when did everybody on here become such prudes. They way yall type on here, I would think yall wouldnt mind seeing some titties and ass. Now people wanna play holy and righteous. Half of yall lost your virginties at 13, had babies by men who dont give a sh*t, slept with women who were beyond loose, had threesomes and all type of ungodly things. All Naturi did was portray Lil Kim and that happen to be who Lil Kim was.
That dress is beautiful on her and Im glad she making it despite what the naysayers got to say.
Way off on this one, but Naturi can act. I disagreed with her playing Kim for obvious reasons, but she does have talent.
I guessed right. I’m glad Naturi is getting expousure it’s a great thing. I was pissed when she got dropped from 3LW. I always thought she was the better vocalist of the 3. Well she looks great and I hope her new movie becomes successful. I’m rooting for you Turi.
good for her, please she was lucky for getting kicked out of 3lw, besides cheetah girls, they were going nowhere, and neither of those chicks have much of a future, don’t mean to be a bitch but i don’t see much talent with them
yay im glad she is making a name for herself
This girl gets praise for portraying a whore in a hip-hop movie. Acting chops?? Get the f*ck outta here!
“…making a name for herself”. Seriously??
Glad to see that she is doing big thangs. And to think she was on the recieving end of a boot from the record label a few years back when she was in 3lw. If I can recall, it was a skin color issue, she was obviously less popular because she was dark skinned. But na look at her.
im sorry but no matter what she does she looks dirty and ghetto to me
but i like her and congrats to her for making her own way even when that group played her out.
Bein a darksikin yung lady at the time 3lw came out it was nice seein another beautiful chocolate sister singing i didn’t understand why she was cut back then since i was yung..didn’t lke da biggy movie really but she did her thing can’t wait to see Fame
I’m glad Naturi is FINALLY getting her shine and doing it WELL. She’s doing REAL movies and not Disney Channel films, lol. Plus she looks amazing.
i had that dress, but it didn’t fit over the girls…
it’s on baby phat’s website right now on sale…
im glad shes getting recognized as well. i was a 3lw fan and always thought she was really pretty. too bad she had to degrade herself to get the attention though. all i remember about her “acting” in notorius are her raunchy nude seens! i was completely caught off guard by them. most likely that wont be the last time we see her naked-what a way to start off! her sex scenes were raunchy and degrading and extremely explicit! i will never look at her the same for playing such an “iconic” role. now any one offering her a part is going to almost expect her to be willing to do things that are truly beneath her-you aint gotta go naked to be famous! really hope she can break away from that! im not trying to be mean or deny her skills, but lets be honest almost every seen she did in notorious was well, a little much to say the least! it doesn’t take a lot of talent to act ghetto and take off your clothes which is basically all she did in notorious….sorry thats just how i feel! and the other chicks from 3lw might not be all in the public eye like she is now, but at least (other than addriennes lil comp mishap) everytime their names are mentioned people won’t immediately associate them with sex! <3
excuse my spelling i meant “scene” but put “seen”
Dang people, she was acting in the movies. Ya’ll are so, I don’t know. And hopefully all the member from the 3LW group do well, why can’t we help build each other up instead of being so quick to tear down young people. A lot of them are doing that too much to themselves, we see it on the news everyday.
Who would of thought that the girl that was done wrong in 3LW would be the last one standing? Thats Karma at its best!
Ya’ll are dead wrong for sayin that white dude got on Ciara’s wig, I read that and got so damn weak, lmao lmao lmao lmao lmao lmao lmao lmao lmao lmao lmao
@ Renae, No one’s hating or tearing this girl down. I would just like to see more black women in positive roles. It seems like we always settle for whatever they give us. “Oh, so-and-so really showed her acting skills when she was gettin’ tossed up in Notorious!” and, “so-and-so showed her true acting range as a maid, cleaning floors and taking out the garbage and all, plus her character was so wise!” if she’s so wise, why the hell is she a maid? LOL, they got us thinking that if we can just get our foot in the door by playing a whore, or maid, or ghetto cluckhead, we’ll eventually get better parts. Ten years later, we still playing whores, maids and ghetto cluckheads. Yeah, that’s progress….
I’m happy for her. Those girls in 3LW did her so wrong a few years back and now her star is starting to rise and they are doing much of nothing really (does Cheetah Girls repeats on Disney Channel really count?)
i got a chance to meet her a long time ago she came to durham for her great uncles funeral which was my grandmother’s “special friend” she is only like 5’2 and very small but when i say that girl sang the H outta of that song @ the funeral not a dry eye in the house! she deserves all that she is getting and its so funny how adrian had to show her stuff for free via the net when she got paid for it on the big screen! those other girls are stuck in kiddie films and they can’t get out of it lmfao karma is a bish! SO SO SO Happy for her!
FYI the other 2 girls from 3LW have made millions from Nickolodian Cheetah Girls movies…
Those 2 girls did not make million on the Cheetah Girls. Raven Symone did. That was her show & her concept. Those 2 girls are NOT millionaires.
I’m happy for Naturi. The 3LW management did her dirty & threw food in her face during an argument. They deserve eveyrthing they get.
GO NATURI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To everyone who is coming down or p*ssing on Naturi for playing ‘Kim’ in “Notorious” should either shut up or get paper…..
Kim is who she is & was who she was; she still getting money & is in the game to win it regardless of what anyone has said or is saying. If she’s such a wh*re or whatever people including women listen to her music or even buy it.. “He who is without sin, cast the first stone” remember that, I bet the ones making the comments are the ‘closet freaks’
As for Naturi playing the role, look someone had to f**kin’ do it; so if it would’ve been someone else, everybody who’s saying that she shouldn’t have played that role or she disgraced herself would say that another actress who would’ve played that part experience or none! She did good in the movie, she portrayed Kim VERY well; that’s who & what Kim was ‘a down, gutta, ride or die, hood chick from the across the bridge in NY’; you saw the album cover for her ‘Hard Core’ album; does anyone remember this?
& for her showing her ‘ladies’ in the ‘B.I.G’ movie; anyone remember the ‘AWARD/GRAMMY’ that was given to the actress that was the leading lady in ‘Monster’s Ball’? Everybody’s forgotten about that huh, everybody still love’s Halle from her post that I just looked at today; so since Naturi’s not Halle she gets slaughtered?
So, don’t bust Naturi chops or down her because she’s getting paid; & as for people who are downing women who take pics or do movies with XXX scenes in them; is it just me or is the human body, especially the natural female body a work & form of art, it’s supposed to be considered as such, not trash.
Go to the ‘Motherland’ you people who are scared to see skin or think that a woman walking around or performing movies in the nude is nasty, & degrading… You won’t last 5minutes!!!!
Hot shoes. Thats a good look happy for her I liked how she played Kim.
Oh okay..*clears throat..umm i never know them until i see their faces anyway..lol
Good to see her doing her thing. I know 3LW like “That biatch!”..lol cause my ears aint heard shyt from them other two!..hahaha…ahhhhhhhhhh
That chick is here to stay! She did her thang in Notorious, and she is already getting great buzz for her work in FAME! Keep doing yo sh%#… Cause shawty you da best.
It’s nice to give her props but great actress or even good actress are given way too lightly. Sorry. Biggie movie was nostalgic but it wasnt even a good movie and neither was Naturi’s acting. Seems like she was just playing herself. Hope in Fame we can REALLY see her acting chops. Maybe theyre good but the Biggie movie definitely didnt give her a chance to really show it. She looks real good in this pic. Love the dress on her and in general. Id rock it. Hopefully shell continue to pick movies on the level of Fame or better. Now THAT is potentially biopic
Weren’t we ALL born naked??? And weren’t Adam and Eve naked in the beginning before the leaves??? Society is so messed up that people think that nudity is something to be ashamed of, just because half of you hate your bodies, it doesn’t make her a whore, or a hoe because she played a part in a movie that happened to contain nudity, it kills me how quick some people are to judge like they live sin-free and righteous every second of everyday. Let it go people.
She played the role as Kim…..Do yall remember how wild Kim was back in the 90′s???? Kinda explains the nudity.
And for the record she was on Broadway for about 2 years doing a play called, “Hairspray”.
She was getting her serious acting on…not making a quick dolla through Disney.
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah Natie!!!
So happy for her!
Ha!
And dem pollos who kicked her outta 3LW thought she was done..A-HA PUTAS!!!
@ Qiana M you have a picture as your icon were a woman basically has her breast hanging out with a small peice of clothing over it…
