Raven Symone A rumor as colorful as one of Cliff Huxtable’s sweaters has Raven-Symoné, formerly of The Cosby Show, giving birth to a baby girl. The Internet tale even comes complete with pictures of the gorgeous newborn. It would be a sweet story . . . if it were the least bit true.

The blog GossipGander.com proudly claimed that it was “was sent the first pics ever seen of Ravens (sic) baby via a representative on her staff.” According to the site, the little lady was born in an Atlanta hospital, is named Lilianna Pearman, and the father is actor Jussie Smollet.

The story about the “That’s So Raven” star, however, is SO made up. Not sure who the little cutie is in the photos, but one thing Gossip Cop can tell you is that her rep categorically confirmed, “Raven-Symoné is not pregnant nor did she give birth.”
