Former 3LW singer Naturi Naughton originally gained critical acclaim for her portrayal of rap’s Queen Bee Lil’ Kim in the 2009 biopic ‘Notorious’. And though making minor appearances on the big and small screen since then, reports have now surfaced the 27-year-old budding actress is preparing to join the cast of the ‘Wolverine’ sequel.
Via BET:
Naughton will play Cecilia Reyes, a former X-men member and doctor, who has the abilities to generate a forcefield that is tied to her life force; she can also use that force to provide her with basic weapons like spikes, hammers and battering rams.
Though the movie won’t be released until 2012, fans can still catch Naughton on NBC’s ‘The Playboy Club’ this fall.
I like her……………………Congrats……

@JAMRI21- U never saw ‘The Cheetah Girls’ movie on the disney channel with Raven Symone???
Naturi was originally in a group called 3lw but I think she was kicked out or left ln her own
The two members were later known as The Cheetah Girls w/ Raven
typo: left on her own
Kiely:No dis b**** didnt!!!!!!!!!! Adreinne: Where the f$%^ is my album that was due out 3 years ago????? Naturi: WHAT WAS SAID you broke and careerless b******?!?!?!?!?!?!? That’s what I thought and here comes my paycheck, WHO MAD oh yea Keily and Adreinne.
she was the girl from 3LW???? I NEVER KNEW THAT! I MEAN I KNOW 3LW BUT I NEVER REALLY KNEW THEM INDIVIDUALLY AT THE TIME!
SHE WAS IN FAME AND LOTTERY TICKET AND NOW X-MEN? SHE BETTA GET THAT MONEY
as for the other members of the group who went the disney direction:
Kiely: Had major success with the Cheetah Girls series and then came with a new single called “SPECTACULAR” which left her fans going :O …she was a prostitute in song and she was singing about “the s** was spectacular”
Adrienne: THIS GIRL CANNN BLOW…HEARD she is working on a new album
But THIS GIRL RIGHT HERE….she is having the most success right now!!!
@QUEENBEY
They didnt really leave her…the group was done and Adrienne and Kiely had to audition for Cheetah Girls…it so happened that they got the part
My fave 3LW song is NO MORE (BABY I’MMA DO IT RIGHT)
“I’m getting a little tired of your broken promises, promises
Looking at your pager seeing different numbers, numbers
Call you on your cell you hanging the the fellas , the fellas
Hanging with my girls you always getting jealous,jealous”
THIS IS THE JAM RIGHT NOW!!!
@ Queenbey Oh the cheetah girls oh okay !!!!!!!!!!! I have heard of them….I though you was refering someone has the cheetah girls !
that is so good for her. i would of never thought this girl was ever going to see the light of day since the break with 3lw. i mean after that fight they had, throwing kfc chicken. then they below up after she left n now she is about to be apart of a blockbuster franchise, xmen, while kiely is is mad she aint with shia labeouf and adrian wishes she was married to the kardashian famil not on the man/woman ep. of maury like how she was on today. .

oooh interesting I know this character in the comic books. She is not that popular but Im glad they are bringing her out in the X-men movies. Naturi , u always had a positive spirit about you, make God continue to bless you!!
This is actually what Teairra Mari needs to be doing….If you arent getting noticed try a different approach…. dont give up on the music but make moves….
@YEABEY-
I hear u but……
They did continue makin songs and videos wen she ‘left’ and I think they even had a replacement for her…..
Naturi is the bitness! She killed it as Kim in Notorious, and she was cute as button on Mad Men! This chick has mad chops, and I respect her hustle!
@QUEENBEY
WOW…I never knew that…
IT’S FUNNY HOW THEY BOOTED HER OUT OF 3LW AND SHE’S NOW THE MOST SUCCESSFUL MEMBER OF THE GROUP. GO NATURI!
She played the hell out of that s*** lil kim. She’s a good actress! So much better without 3lw.
I Loveee Naturi!!
Congrats Girl. Can’t Wait To See This Movie!!!!
Damn my big sis used to have 3lw on replay in my house ALL THE DAMN TIME back in the day. Im glad black actresses like her, Tika Sumpter,and Zoe Saldana are making a come back. Now if only Halle Berry could get her s*** together
im glad Raven Symone had good industry parents that made sure their baby girl got ALL her money and royalities from those short lived girl groups and made for tv movies
She’s actually a very good actress and a talented singer. It’s great to see her accomplish such great things in Hollywood.
I can’t wait for the Play Boy Bunny series to kick off. She’s set to play a character who dreams of becoming the first African American centerfold.
I’m loving this girl.
Go head Naturi!! Congrats!
@SAM Jason Derulo just performed on americas got talent, im just saying
She betta get that money! I’m SOOO proud of her. She’s very talented. Great actress & sanger!
congratz.
GET IT GIRL! I’ll never forget how those two light skinned(no offense, I’m light skinned too)h*** kicked her out of 3LW. WHERE DEM H*** NOW?!?! #sweetrevenge
GOOD FOR HER SHE’s DOIN WAY BETTER THAN THOSE OTHER TWO H*** MAD RESPECT FOR HER!!!!! And by looking at these comments everyone is with and rooting for her….. GOOD LUCK I CAN’t WAIT TO SEE THE NEW X-Men
Yes…show’em how a beautful,Nubian Queen do it,baby!
Congrats to her.
Its crazy cause shes always miscast. The character Cecilia Reyes is a latina comic book character who can generate force fields
No.. Ive been a music freak since the 90’s. so i grew up listening to 3lw and knew them very well. jus like Destiny’s Child, Xscape, Blaque, Tlc, 702 ect.. . i knew what parts they played in the group and everything. Kiely and Adrienne had a fight with Naturi at a Sonic Or Dairy Queen. Threw food at her and kicked her out the group, They even replaced her with a Vibe Magazine Vixon that looked like her.Which didn’t last .. like FARRAH in Destiny’s Child l. ”Curious” by Naturi is a nice song.. Im glad shes getting they fame she deserves. And i also agree!! She is a great actress
Yes baby, GET THAT MONEY !
@lol
lol i getcha, she’s worth fortunes now
i never liked that kiely girl , adrienne is alright and from watching keepin up” she seems grounded too. good luck to Naturi im just super ready for the next Wolverine film. gutted Ryan Reynolds wont be in it tho
GREAT JOB NATURI !!!
Adrienne & Kiely , U MAD HUH ???
Congratulations Naturi. Stay bless.
she is a good actress i’m glad she’s gtting into more movies 🙂 Good Job Naturi!!!
