'That's So Raven' star Raven-Symone' is the latest entertainer to be victim of a bogus internet report.
Online gossip blogs begin circulating a story that the 23-year-old entertainment mogul was either pregnant or had given birth to a baby girl.
Some sites had even declared that Raven had gotten pregnant by Jussie Smollett, the brother of actress Jurnee Smollett ('The Great Debaters') and that the two named the child Lilliana Pearman.
Now a rep for Raven has shut down the fabricated tale.
"Raven-Symoné is not pregnant nor did she give birth," the publicist said in a statement.
Not only is the singer/actress neither pregnant or a first-time mother, but the former star of 'The Cosby Show' performed on Thursday, July 9 at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, N.J. where she sang songs from her latest self-titled CD.

Karrine Steffans
This 30-year-old New York Times best-selling author made a name for herself in the music industry as a music video model. After intimate relations with some of the biggest names in hip-hop, including Jay-Z, Ja Rule and Method Man, Steffans became known as "Superhead." The former adult-film star is currently working on her third book 'The Vixen Manuel: How To Find, Seduce & Keep The Man You Want.' You wouldn't believe which high-ranking officer of the court we think Steffans resembles.
Judge Glenda Hatchett
Judge Glenda Hatchett has starred on her own court television show for the past eight years. The Emory University School of Law grad also released a book 'Say What You Mean and Mean What You Say.' Before heading to television, Hatchett was a senior attorney at Delta Air Lines and the highest-ranking African American woman at the company. She also has the distinction of being Georgia's first African American chief presiding judge of a state court.
Karrine Steffans / Judge Glenda Hatchett
True, Judge Hatchett is a bit mature to pass for Steffan's sister, but they surely could be mistaken for mother and daughter. With their fair complexions, dark-brown hair, wide smiles and noses, they definitely resemble each other.
Ciara
These days, 23-year-old Ciara Princess Harris simply goes by Ciara. Raised in Atlanta, this R&B chart-topper, who once dated pint-size rapper Bow Wow, burst on the music scene in 2004 with 'Goodies.' Both her debut single and its follow-up 'Ciara: The Evolution' were platinum hits. She's currently wrapping up her new album 'Fantasy Ride' and will star in the upcoming film 'Mama, I Want to Sing.' But many have said she looks like a popular comedienne. Guess who?
Wanda Sykes
Comedienne and actress Wanda Sykes got her start as a writer for 'The Chris Rock Show.' And, though her two short-lived shows 'Wanda at Large' and 'Wanda Does It' haven't made her a television star, her more recent stint on the CBS sitcom 'The New Adventures of Old Christine' has been steady. In 2008, the stand-up comic "came out" as at a pro-gay marriage rally in Las Vegas.
Ciara / Wanda Sykes
They're not identical by any means, but Ciara and Wanda Sykes definitely favor one another. We aren't holding our breaths to see Wanda sport a dolled-up look like Ci-Ci, but with their similar noses and big brown eyes, the two ladies remind us of each other.
Iman Crosson
This 26-year-old Ohio native received a great deal of attention with his parody of President Barack Obama doing Beyonce's 'Single Ladies.' The YouTube clip 'If You Voted for Me' has scored nearly 2 million hits and landed Crosson an appearance on Entertainment Tonight. There's a certain banker who looks like the Dancing Obama. Can you take a guess?
Al Reynolds
Virginia native Al Reynolds is mostly known as the ex-husband of former plus-size talk show personality Star Jones. Their nuptials are rumored to have cost upward of $1 million dollars and became a public relations nightmare for 'The View.' Sadly, their union didn't last long. Jones filed for divorce in 2008. The former investment banker is currently finishing up his doctorate in organizational leadership and teaching at Florida Memorial University.
Iman Crosson / Al Reynolds
Talk about splitting image. It's easy to see how Iman Crosson might be mistaken for Al Reynolds over our President Barack Obama. The two light-skinned, handsome brothers both know how to hang a suit. And with such distinguished looks, if they can't pass for each other, they can pass for brothers.
Kathie Lee Gifford
Kathie Lee Gifford is best known for co-hosting the talk show 'Live with Regis and Kathie Lee,' alongside Regis Philbin for 15 years. In 2008, she returned to the small screen to host the fourth hour of NBC's 'Today' show.

Raven Samone, the cute Cosby Show starlette, pregnant, gave birth, oh boy, I am sorry, but she is just overweight. I watched her grow and all I can say, and not being mean, she just grew up in all directions, either due to hormones, genes, or just food. I know she is trying to stay fit, and control her weight, but sorry, she is having trouble. I wish her the best, because she has promise, and as long as she tries, and stays healthy, she should lose the weight. Remember Valerie Bertinelli, and those Jenny Craig commercials, maybe Raven should take some advice.

Are you serious, you cannot find anything bad to say about this very talented, beautiful, and smart young lady, so you decided to comment on her weight. If God wanted everyone to have the same body type I am sure that he had/has the power to do so. Raven is a very accomplished young lady and I am very proud of her. I have never heard anything bad about her. Seems to me that she is doing a really good job with her life.

I don't think there was anything wrong with what you said. You're arent knocking her talet, her beauty, or anythng like that because we all know she's talented, but the truth is she is ALSO overweight and we all know it. Not saying that its BAD but thats what it is. She's definatley too young to be out of shape. Its NOT like she had a baby, or is pregnant so whats the excuse? I understand what you're saying. And God has nothing to do with some one being overweight. Thats a HUMANS decision. I gotchu lol.

Not only is your comment innappropriate and disrespectful; it's cruel. I suggest you refrain from posting judegemental comments on this or any site again for the sake of any underage or incredibly impressionable users on this site.

first of all i am a size 0 and i am not happy about it so attacking her weight was a low blow, second she is talented and if she were to be pregnant so what she is over 18 has her own money and it is her business.....some people have nothing better to do but put someone else down and the fact that she is a child star who didn't get caught up in all the mess is great! child on the way or not she is a good girl and has portrayed herself as such! Good Luck Raven in ALL you do!
to Kennith: get a life a hobby read a book and get lost!

OMGoodness who are you to speak? Raven will do fine with our without the weight simply because she is in touch with herself. She has not and will not let simple minded people like yourself stop her desire to do and be her best. I would say grow up but it is the grown up that has a problem. Little children sees people as people.

I sure hope that your children are born and grow up perfect, because if that's the kind of encouraging talks you'll have to offer, I feel sorry for them.

Oh so we pretend that she's skinny? If she's overweight, she's overweight. Why in the world would we say she isn't when she most definitely got bigger. Chill out, she's big, those are the facts.
