Raven Symone… another skrounched pregnancy rumor

Maybe it’s the lull in news since the summer, but here’s another pregnancy rumor that was finally addressed and “skrounched” by a celebrity’s publicist.

Former “Cosby Show” kid –and now Disney-darling– Raven Symone, has been blowing up the rumor blogs all summer. Some sites have speculated that she was pregnant by good friend Jussie Smollett (brother of Eve’s Bayou actress Jurnee Smollett), while others speculated that she had already given birth to a daughter named Lilliana Pearman.

This rumor grew beyond adolescence because of the mysterious lack of an official response from Raven’s camp. What got even weirder, is that this rumor sneakily became the same rehashed rumor of a mysterious girl-child that Janet Jackson had with her first annulled-husband, James DeBarge.

Granted, the season has been ripe with baby-mama coverage from errant rappers and their phalanx of lady-loves, but these types of rumors usually hit female stars harder with the subtext that women are somehow innate tricksters, and rather than lying to people they should be at home taking care of their mysterious baby.

Many of these baby/pregnancy rumors get so twisted that they begin to look like David Lynch’s monster-baby in “Eraserhead.” So, whether or not Raven is –or was– pregnant is her own business. And she is her own business… there’s even a television show about her.
