"It was because Raven Baxter is Raven Baxter is Raven Baxter."The former cohost of "<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/reviews/out?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hulu.com%2Fseries%2F02696a82-b780-4ee5-9383-026b90017fee" rel="nofollow sponsored">The View</a>" said she is "proud" to play Raven Baxter. "Even if she is straight [and] cisgender, I don't mind, let her have her moment," the actress added.Symoné, who appeared on the podcast with her wife, said that she did make one thing very clear to executives: On "<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/reviews/out?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.disneyplus.com%2Fseries%2Fravens-home%2F3HAAnYMLNOWG" rel="nofollow sponsored">Raven's Home</a>," Raven Baxter would be happily divorced with no desire to date any time soon.

Raven Baxter also remains straight so that Symoné can put even more distance between herself and her iconic character."I'm stereotyped for the rest of my life, let's just keep it 100," she said. While she understands that this is a reality that comes with playing such a beloved character, she has no qualms with separating her personal identity from Raven Baxter's as much as possible.

Symoné, 35, told the publication that it started when she <a href="https://www.insider.com/raven-symone-marriage-instagram-wife-miranda-maday-wedding-2020-6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">married Miranda Maday</a>. "This was because we want to have a life together," Symoné told E! News. "She doesn't want to take me to an early grave and I want to make sure I am there for her in the best health possible."Symoné added that she previously went to a doctor's appointment and received "horrendous numbers" on medical examinations. After that, Symoné made adjustments to her that caused the lifestyle switch. In June, she appeared on <a href="https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/culture/story/raven-symone-talks-losing-30-pounds-months-complete-78216847" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Good Morning America</a> and revealed that the impressive weight loss occurred over three months.

I have a goal in mind and it's not just weight loss, it's really complete body health."Symoné continued that she does "very minimal exercise," and she eats "low carb" as much as she can. She told GMA that she's "an avid faster" who tries to have a "minimum of 14-hour fast" between breakfast and dinner. Symoné previously opened up about her body image in 2017, <a href="https://www.insider.com/raven-symone-body-shaming-2017-8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">saying</a> that she experienced body-shaming as a Disney Channel star and that it gave her "so many mental issues."

"I got married to a woman who understands me from trigger to joy, from breakfast to midnight snack, from stage to home," the caption read. "I love you Mrs. Pearman-Maday!

Mike Huckabee (R) gave an interview to "The View" on Thursday, when&#xa0;he discussed his performance in the CNBC Republican presidential debate the night before.Co-host&#xa0;Raven-Symoné noted that Huckabee declined to go after rival&#xa0;Donald Trump at the debate.While on stage,&#xa0;Huckabee even pointed out that <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5wyX1-kOAs">he was wearing a Trump-branded tie</a>.Raven-Symoné was perplexed."While the moderators were taking aim at Donald Trump, you did not. You actually wore a tie from his collection. Uh, you got a bromance goin' on?" she asked.Huckabee said there was no bromance.&#xa0;"No, not at all," he said. "It actually was not planned. That tie is a purple tie. My little granddaughter, Scarlet, loves purple. I wore it for her. And when they asked me the ridiculous question about Donald Trump, I thought, 'I'm not going there.'"<h3>Watch below:</h3><div></div>During the same Thursday interview, "The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg also pressed Huckabee on his socially conservative views on abortion rights."Governor Mike," she told Huckabee. "You said that there are two victims: one is the child, the other is a birth mother. Do you think that guilting somebody who is already making a really horrific choice in their life is really the way to go?"Huckabee rejected the premise of Goldberg's question."No. In fact, Whoopi, it's the opposite of that. I think you don't put guilt on the mother," he said.&#xa0;Whoopi then interrupted as they talked over one another."Except sir, that's kind of what you said," she said. "If someone makes a choice that they have to make, why wouldn't you be supportive of that?

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Micah Russell has always had a knack for parsing through trash: 'I am a rat, first and foremost,' she told Insider.</li><li>Her vintage business involves vending personalized "bundles" of clothes at a great value.</li></ul>Micah Russell has built a successful vintage business and cult following on TikTok, where she's taken a different business tact than many of her peers: selling custom clothing bundles at great value in the name of sustainability.For 28-year-old <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@happyspell" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Russell</a>, vintage dealing and personal styling have been near-lifelong pursuits, she told Insider.Growing up in Oklahoma City, she was tasked with styling the neighborhood kids for their makeshift band, culling inspiration from Raven Symone and Lizzie Maguire, as they recorded their performances on their parents' camcorders.During summers when she got older, Russell volunteered at the nonprofit thrift store her grandmother owned, trading labor for clothes to build her "collection." She's always had a preternatural knack for parsing through trash ("I am a rat, first and foremost," Russell joked), and today, those instincts have spawned a promising career — and on TikTok of all places. Russell operates a vintage business on the platform under the name Happy Spell, which was inspired by spell jars she used to create as a side hustle.Viewers are in awe of Russell's "bundles" of vintage clothing that she tailors to shoppers' sizes and styles at a reasonable value. Prices on the <a href="https://www.happyspell.us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Happy Spell website</a> range from an $80 bundle (for three to six pieces) to $500 (25 to 35 pieces).Happy Spell has been in operation for five years. Over the years, she's provided styling for personal friends, sold wares at local antique markets and vintage boutiques, and offered similar bundles on Instagram. When she joined TikTok a year ago, though, everything changed, she said. "I was real hesitant to hop on TikTok," Russell said, adding she prefers to spend time outside and was afraid of becoming addicted. "Then I hopped on and it was life changing."TikTok has boosted her business tremendously. Today, Happy Spell has two full-time employees and a backlog of 400 orders that Russell anticipates could take her a year to fulfill. She has also rented a brick-and-mortar storefront in Oklahoma City, where she plans to offer in-person styling consultations that she plans to charge more for "because it's a bigger energy exchange," she said.<h2>'This is how I offer a solution to one of the most corrupt industries in the world'</h2>While vintage dealing on TikTok can foster explosive virality — especially in the case of finds that <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=web&amp;cd=&amp;cad=rja&amp;uact=8&amp;ved=2ahUKEwi31MvUgfD-AhVsFlkFHaHtC1QQFnoECBcQAQ&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.insider.com%2Ftiktoker-thrifts-vintage-versace-dress-for-13-goes-viral-2023-3&amp;usg=AOvVaw3QGVSKNXemuuoFzHnAi2qi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">turn out to be exponentially valuable</a> — it has also sparked a fierce debate. Fans of the genre, like Russell, cheer the sustainability benefits and argue that shopping secondhand can help combat the human exploitation and mass pollution associated with fast fashion. However,<a href="https://www.insider.com/teenage-depop-dealer-haul-backlash-ethics-of-thrifting-2023-2"> some detractors argue</a> that a slew of vintage dealers are gutting thrift stores for low-income shoppers, and call resellers "greedy" for hiking prices. Russell, for her part, says she strives to keep prices low to deter shoppers from being tempted by fast-fashion retailers. That said, she added that she certainly doesn't begrudge other resellers who mark up their finds to reflect the value of the work. "I keep it cheap because this is how I be the bridge," she said. "This is how I offer a solution to one of the most corrupt industries in a world — an industry that I'm a part of, an industry that I love."Russell tries to be transparent with her pricing. In her TikTok videos, Russell typically shares "bundle breakdowns," showcasing the questionnaires and photos shoppers submit with their orders and the thoughtful way she seeks to fulfill them. She thinks of herself as a stylist more than a salesperson, but she nevertheless has big ambitions for the Happy Spell business.Her dream, one day, is to train people globally ("at least a few people per continent," she told Insider) to vend bundles under the Happy Spell moniker, noting that she's made countless new business contacts on TikTok. "My goal here is to take down these fast fashion companies," she said. "I wanna have enough people worldwide to where we can be styling the whole world.""I am delusional, but in the most beautiful way."

There are very few jobs like this."That's how Joy Behar explains her return to ABC's daytime talk show "The View." She walked away for two seasons and thought she was done for good, but the lure of the show's open forum and the 2016 election proved too strong."By the time I left, I had had enough," the 73-year-old comedian told Business Insider.

How a daytime talk show became one of the most important voices in the election

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div></div></div>How can Fox build on the momentum of TV's biggest hit in years? The network executives spoke for the first time on Monday about its plan for "Empire's" return and how it hopes to grow the show's already huge viewership.Despite reports that "Empire" wouldn't return until the midseason, Fox isn't letting that much time pass before capitalizing on its success. The drama from creator Lee Daniels ("The Butler") and Danny Strong ("The Hunger Games") will return this fall. It will also air in the very same time slot it held during the spring."Fans made 'Empire' an appointment on Wednesday nights all season long. We'd be crazy to move it and we want to thank and reward our fans by keeping it in that time period," Fox's co-CEO and co-chairman Gary Newman said on a press call Monday.It will also expand to 18 episodes, split into fall and spring seasons with no repeats. Season 1 had just 12 episodes. <div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"></div></div></div>"The stories we've heard for Season 2 already is just going to blow away the audience," Newman promised.Of course, many shows have breakout first seasons and then lost their audiences during the wait for their return. Fox knows this all too well with Kevin Bacon drama "The Following," which <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/canceled-tv-shows-abc-cbs-nbc-fox-cw-2015-5">it just canceled</a>.That's one reason Fox executives admitted that they started working on "a bridge plan" while the first season was still airing and it saw the audience grow, but knew there could be a long gap between seasons."The requests for this cast are so numerous, we're trying to make it so that they can be out there and still get a little bit of rest prior to an enormous production season with all new music," co-CEO and co-chairman Dana Walden said. So, how is Fox trying to keep "Empire" thriving during the wait for Season 2?1. All 12 episodes available On-Demand, Hulu and other platforms, so that new audiences can "catch up." Fox chief operating office Joe Earley said they're already seeing record numbers for viewing on these platforms, but the network is not planning to air repeats.2. The cast is making appearances. The show's young stars Jussie Smollett and Bryshere Y. Gray, who play Jamal and Hakeem respectively, have been touring and performing music from the show. Breakout star Taraji P. Henson, who plays mother Cookie, hosted "Saturday Night Live" in April and will appear with co-star Terrence Howard, who plays patriarch Lucious, on <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/how-lip-sync-battle-gets-celebrity-guests-2015-4">Spike TV hit "Lip Sync Battle."</a>3. Season 2 has "amazing guest stars" who Fox hopes will help to bring in new viewers. Season 1 guest stars included Jennifer Hudson, Rita Ora, Patti LaBelle, Raven Symone, Cuba Gooding Jr., and Estelle.4. Fox hopes Rapper Ne-Yo, who has joined the next season as a music producer on Timbaland's team, will bring in new viewers. Ne-Yo will write new original music for the series. At the same time, Fox is not looking a gift horse in the mouth. "Empire" is the only show in TV's recent history to improve on its ratings each week. The first season averaged a 5.09 with Adults aged 18-49, the demographic advertisers most covet, and 13 million viewers."We don't want to be greedy," Walden added. "If we came back with the audience that we left off with, we would be thrilled. Based on the creative that we saw from producers the week before last, I don't think that's going to be a problem." <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-get-ready-for-a-tv-appearance-2013-6">Guys, Here's How You Can Avoid Looking Like A Hot Mess On Television</a></h3> <div> <div> <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="E4eDkyYzopagpQm7t-_GLvS87KwCZyYP" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div> </div> </div> </div>
