I don’t know why people have a problem believing Naturi Naughton, who plays Lil’ Kim in the new flick “Notorious”, is the chick from 3LW. Just because she’s flyer now than she was before? I’m posting these pics of her so you can make a side by side comparison.

She doesn’t too much do it big for me in the “Kim” aspect of things, but that is an upgrade from before.

Nothing was wrong with the other pic. She just looked a lil bit beyond her years.

The second pic, she looks like she cleaned up alot.

Cute.

Ummmm…that is NOT Naturi from 3LW. This chick looks more like Tatiana Ali in her fresh prince days, in which Naturi looks NOTHING like her.
gemini83

I never said that it wasn’t her. It just doesn’t look like her. I guess its the makeup! And it still doesn’t look like her AT ALL! ;^/
RoJay

I don’t think that’s her cuz Naturi is currently in a truth.com commercial and that looks nothin like her in the picture to the right. She still looks the same as always and these 2 pics don’t look nothin like each other to me.

Yeah – I think 3LW kicked her out a bit early – but I believe that was all a part of the LSLH conspiracy again….

Naturi does look better – that’s what happens when you have some time,money & better styling…..

Everyone – go back and look at SWV on their first album,”It’s About Time,” then check them out on their second one, “New Beginning.” Complete transformation – and they are still one of my favorite girl groups.

Also, look how Keyshia Cole has changed – she’s much more glamorous now, rather than wearing wife-beaters, jeans & boots. Mary J. Blige – the same way. She doesn’t look anything like she did back in ’92 & ’94.

Back on topic, though – in the end, I guess 3LW made out alright – they’re basically now The Cheetah Girls – and I doubt they’d ever release another album under the ‘3LW’ name – would be a waste of time.

TATYANA Ali looks much different than that….no comparison…not even similar…
gemini83

^^^^^
She still looks like her to me.
Krysi – yes the same one

yeah but SWV, and Keyshia still look like themselves just an upgraded version. This girl just doesn’t look like herself period. It looks like someone, maybe that just a great angle, a good camera, and a money shot.
cupcakes

Those 2 ladies look nothing alike…..except that their both dark skinned….
HeyNow

I agree with #2 this does look like Tatiana Ali from this angle.who cares anyway who plays Lil Kim,Lil Kim don’t look like she use to anyway.Letoya or Micheal Jackson could play Lil Kim for after the biggie years. Wasn’t Naturi a back-up singer for Faith when she was first kicked out the group?????
Mia

@ terika83 ~ I was thinking the same thing. That 2nd picture definitely resembles Tatyana.
pinkvirgo

This is soooooo not Naturi.
sharnell

If you do not believe sandra go to Naturi’s official myspace page. She has a new song out with Lil’Kim and details her new role as Lil’ Kim. I got Sandra!
mizzdallas

I naturi is playing lil kim and thats her in that pic! I had to do some research first!!!!
MAJAHINEVERYWAY

Sandra, I digress.
As long as she is a good actress, she doesn’t have to look like Lil’ Kim. Hell, Lil’ Kim doesn’t look like she did back on the infamous album cover. She was cute then.

If thats her than wow…she sure does look different!
pinky2083

Sandra you really need to stop! That is not her!
http://highbridnation.com Mike Belgrove

that’s obviously not her
http://notenoughrealmen.blogspot.com 2thick4u

That is the chick from 3LW…

This is old news…Lil Kim was made that they didn’t pick someone who was an actress!!!
pinkvirgo

I agree that she is set to play Lil Kim but that ain’t her and for the record she is an actress shes doing Broadway or is doing Broadway.

i read somewhere that lil kim is upset because the actress portraying her in the movie is too dark.
kpakpando

Why can’t folks believe it’s Naturi, that’s what good weave and makeup can do for you.
pinkvirgo

Lil Kim needs to be happy they don’t have The Cowardly Lion portraying her thats who she looks the most like and I agree that makeup and weave can do wonders but damn her nose even looks different.I’ll believe it when I see it and btw I know it’s supposed to be the 90’s but that hair and boots are god awful.

actually she looks more like Taral Hicks in this shot
Hotstuff

It’s not that it’s hard to believe it’s just she didn’t look like that Sandra…

HAVE YOU SEEN THE TRUTH COMMERCIAL ON T.V.?
I EVER SEEN HER ON BROADWAY IN HAIRSPRAY SHE DOESN’T LOOK THE SAME NOT SAYING SHE ALTERED ANYTHING, IT’S JUST THE MAKEUP ARTIST DID A GOOD JOB TRANSFORMING HER.

SO IT’S KIND’VE AN INDIRECT COMPLIMENT TO THE MAKEUP ARTIST…

FYI NATURI WAS FLY BACK THEN…YOU KNOW IT’S JUST HARD FOR A BROWN SKIN CHICK TO SHINE IN BETWEEN TWO LIGHT BULBS!!!!

LOVE U SANDRA!!!
dj_dceezy

wow she grew up… looks different, musta filled out in the face
brwnsugga4you

sorry sandra wrong again. This is not her…lmao!!!
omina-homina

sorry, that’s not the same chick. she must be the stunt double or something because the facial bone structure is different. The nose and brow line are totally different. The forehead is different, too.
brwnsugga4you

she does play in the movie but, this is probably a younger lil kim and she’s not playing her. but, truly this is not that child from 3lw.
starr

Sandra has been wrong many times, but she’s right on. Thats her. Its the internet ppl, u can do ya own research….lol The gurl is gonna be made up to play lil kim, maybe she is playin a younger lil kim, Lil kim didn’t get most of that plastic done until after biggies death.

Sandra is right. If ya don’t believe its her, its her, then thats u…..when tha movie drops you’ll find out. And other blogs have said too, say maybe theyre all lying. And maybe she doesn’t look the same cuz she did as most kids do…..GROW UP….

ANYHOO, i think naturi and lil kim did a song together, but it went nowhere. I only heard the song once when naturi appeared on one of our stations in ny when she was promoting i think hairspray or sumthing.

But its naturi from 3LW…..if ya don’t believe…do ya own research

IM HEADING TO THE EYE DOCTOR………. Cause I dont see it, but ok.. when is the movie coming out?
Coo Coo Bananas

The other dark skin one who got booted is doing Truth commericals now. Saw the commerical last night lol.

Apparently, the girl had a nose job and lost weight.

And since when do you have to look just like a character to portray them? Yes, Jamie looked like Ray Charles, but I’ll be d@mned if Angela Bassett looked like Tina Turner.

and if you see a straight shot of the girl (she’s sideways), i’m pretty sure her face will widen out (like the old picture)

That’s classic!!! Oh and by the way………………………………………………….That aint no damn Naturi
Maxdan

THAT IS NOT NATURI. She actually looks the exact same with shorter hair. I saw her in one of those smoking commericals about ” The Truth”. She is dancing and singing in the streets of NY. I don’t know who that brown skin chick is but all black people don’t look alike.
WeezysBaby

I agree she does resemble Tatiana Ali that is the first face that came to mind…either way it goes she doesn’t seem to be a good fit to play Kim… I want to know who is playing faith?
Coo Coo Bananas

Yea that is NOT Naturi.
NC_NYer

FINE – then, it IS Tatyana Ali – no wait, it’s Kameelah ‘Meelah’ Williams (the dark skinned girl from 702) – no wait, It’s Brandi Williams (from the group Blaque). WAIT, I GOT IT!! This is Janet’s secret love child with Jermaine Dupri – the recent relationship is just a cover! By the way, 2Pac is alive, too – I just saw him yesterday going into Electric Lady studios in NY. I mean, he was wearing a du-rag & sunglasses – but it was HIM!
jcroft

They don’t resemeble each other…and if that is her…she mos def had a NOSE JOB.

That looks nothing like Naturi…
gemini83

@ NC_NYer…..

I thought I saw him about a week ago too going into a strip joint! (tupac)
And it’s anyone of those chicks you named. I will believe that before I believe its Naturi!!! LMAO!! But, whatever!
http://myspace.com/mizz_eccentrik Abhor_

Yes Naturi is playing Lil Kim but this is NOT Naturi in the picture..are you bitches blind or something?! Like someone stated above, Naturi is in the truth commcerical(the typo song” and she is looks nothing like this “other” woman
ms.peaches

#39 your crazy as hell!!! are yall talking about that commercial when they are singing “it must have been a typo, a typo” & so on?? if that’s her then she does look different or either i didn’t pay much attention!! I know that she is suppose to be playing Lil Kim but I will admit it doesn’t look like her I know that first pic is old maybe over 6 or 7 years if not older but something just seems different!!
Destiny

I still find it very hard to believe that that is Naturi, formely of 3LW. I probably need to see a better pic, from a better angle.
brwnsugga4you

that is her on that truth commercial singing in the street with the caucasian guy..
Mspeng

It’s not that we don’t believe she looks like her because she grew up and looks good etc. But this girl doesn’t even have the same features as Naturi. I always thought she was a cute girl when she was in 3LW but this girl I just cannot believe it’s her at all…
NYC

That is NOT Naturi. You know how the press make mistakes all the time, especially with BLACK people. I mean you can look at the girl on the right and see that it is clearly NOT Naturi.
sdott313

she looks a whole lot cuter
terika83

Ok, Naturi may be playing Kim in the movie, but this pic ain’t of her. Someone put the wrong pic with the wrong name. Like a few of you said…maybe this chick is playing the younger kim and Naturi the older one.

This IS Naturi from 3LW
