Young, Black, and Fabulous :: I Don’t Have To Make This Ish Up.: Have YOU Seen Orlando Brown?

  • Posted on Apr 23, 2008 by Natasha

    Have YOU Seen Orlando Brown?

    That’s So Raven co-star Orlando Brown’s publicist, Elayne Rivers, has put out word that Orlando has been missing since yesterday. She says his family is very concerned as he has never gone this long without contacting someone. He left his manager’s house in Studio City early yesterday morning to go to a nearby 7-11, and hasn’t been heard from since. He even missed his full day of meetings yesterday. Interestingly enough, the person posting all the myspace bulletins today saying Orlando is missing is none other than his close friend and manager Ricky Romance. Is this the same Ricky from all the “Raz B is missing and was molested” hoopla? Hmmm. That could explain a lot. Regardless, Ricky and Orlando’s publicist are telling people to e-mail Elayne at TLToonz@aol.com if they have any information on his whereabouts. People.com had posted her contact phone number, but replaced it a few minutes later with the e-mail address.

    Speaking of That’s So Raven, Raven Symone was spotted out in Burbank last night copping a few sandwiches at Subway:

    I hope her former co-star turns up soon.

    UPDATE: Orlando Brown called into the Wendy Williams show just a few minutes ago and confirmed he is ok. This whole thing reaks of Stokesgate Part II.

    WENN

    The Randomness:

    1. I am well aware of the talk concerning the death of 27 year old Orish Grinstead, one of the founding members of 702. But since I don’t gossip about death, I am waiting for confirmation from a credible news source. More to come soon…

      According to Wikapedia and BET new, Orish died Sunday of kidney failure. Not so sure about BET news, but I think Wikapedia’s pretty credible, don’t you?

      According o Wikipedia Orish Grinstead, founding member of R&B girl group 702 out of Las Vegas, Nevada, passed away on Sunday, April 20th from kidney failure. She was 27 years old. According to friends Orish had been ill for a long time, and sadly, due to other medical complications she suffered from including cancer that had yet to be treated, she was not expected to live too long..

      Thats soo Sad.. “Weeping may endure for he night but Joy will surely come un the morning”.. Pslam 30:5.. May God be with her family and Friends at this Difficult time…

      According to wikipedia.com

Orish Grinstead, founding member of R&B girl group 702 out of Las Vegas, Nevada, passed away on Sunday, April 20th from kidney failure. She was 27 years old. According to friends Orish had been ill for a long time, and sadly, due to other medical complications she suffered from including cancer that had yet to be treated, she was not expected to live too long.

      They were playing a bunch of 702 videos on Monday on VH1 Soul which was really random, so maybe Orish did pass away. It’s also on Wikipedia too but that’s not really credible.

      Ayo are you kidding me? Like forreal.
      Raven is absolutely beautiful, and I hear she’s got a wonderful personality. I’m 22, and As a proud size 14/16 I work what I have, and so does Raven, I hate when people defend celebs they dont know but
      I think ur comment went too far. Real talk which is it going to be, do u want celebs to eat or starve? Get an effin life.

You just have an issue with fat/thick people. I mean i ain’t mad at your for stating your opinion but lets keep it real.On a another note maybe i’m just feeling salty cause im *whispers* fat and on a diet and in a very bad mood.

      Waiting for all the statistics on unhealthy living. I know I know that’s why im on this bloody diet and exercise plan.

      Sad to hear about the young lady from 702

      OK….702 used to be a quartet with Kameelah, Irish, Orish and other sister LeMisha… orish left the band… and 702 went on to be a trio…. Orish was never photographed with 702.. but I would suppose she looks like Irish cause they were Identical twins.. Irish is well and beautiful, Orish has since passed away… I hope this was a help… Peace and Blessings to the twin left behind and the entire Grinstead family and friends …
