TV sitcom star Orlando Brown is missing and presumed dead by his little fans who are emailing me. According to People magazine, the portly 20-year-old star of TV’s That’s So Raven has been missing since early Tuesday morning when he walked to a 7-Eleven for some comfort food.

According to Brown’s publicist, Elayne Rivers, he had a full day of meetings and appointments in preparation for a photo shoot Wednesday.

Rivers adds that friends and family are very concerned, as the young actor is not one to be out of touch for long, and the convenience store was within a short walking distance from his manager’s home in Studio City.

Supposedly, Ricky Romance, Brown’s close friend and manager, has been calling all local hospitals looking for information on Brown’s whereabouts.

The skeptic in me sees that Pop Tart, Ricky Romance’s name and suspects a publicity stunt. Anybody associated with Ricky and Raz B is immediately suspect in more ways than one. Something tells me Brown will turn up safe with a strange story to tell.

Anyone who might have any information should contact Elayne Rivers at TLToonz@aol.com
