: Editor's Update #2 - Apparently Orlando is doing fine. He just called into Wendy Williams top rated show - The Wendy Williams Experience
Something may be seriously wrong. MediaTakeOut.com has just learned that actor Orlando Brown is officially missing.. According to Orlando's family and friends the 21 year old hasn't been seen or heard of for almost 24 hours.
And given Orlando's recent behavior people are worried. You'll recall that MediaTakeOut.com told you a few weeks ago that Orlando was arrested after police found nine grams of marijuana in his car.
Here's what a close friend of Orlando tells MediaTakeOut.com:
At about 10:15am yesterday he went to the store wearing a lot of jewelry and a couple of bucks in his pocket. He was just going to go to the 7 Eleven in Studio City, Cali and coming right back to start the day with Ricky [Romance] who is his manager.Orlando is best known for his portrayal of Eddie Thomas, the best friend of a Raven Baxter (played by actress Raven-Symone) on the hit show That's So Raven.He left his cell phone and everything. The 7-11 is walking distance. He went to the store and never came back. At the time that I write this, there is still no sign of him. His girlfriend doesn't know where he is and this behavior is not like him.
EDITOR'S UPDATE - The story just gets more strange. We just learned that Orlando is being managed by Ricky Romance - and that apparently Ricky owes money to some goons from Los Angeles. Speculation now is that the people whom Ricky owes money may have kidnapped Orlando...
Developing...
MTO ya'll are a TRIP....

First of All..we really do need to take this more seriously...do ANY of Yall remember Merlin Santana..yeah the guy from the Steve Harvey Show who got set up by his ghetto girl and was shot to death in LA.....and he was a "has" been too but had a show in syndication.. So yeah maybe he just went for a walk..but this fool could have been taken and may be already dead. So please think before yall make anymore foolish comments...my prayers go out to him and I hope this IS just him trying to get some thinking time.
Oh I hope not!!!!! This is terrible. Damn a brotha can't even go to the damn store these days!
off topic:
I think the mailboy should give it a rest. Yeah I see ya uniform...
*dialin' x27345.... {{ringing}} um.. yes.. could you please come pick up this package for immediate shipment. And don't forget to fill out the airbills properly! um... no I do NOT want to smoke with you. Boy BYE!*
I wonder if this has something to do with Chris Stokes. Orlando Brown's friend entered Stokes Contest on Youtube, and Orlando was in the video. And, you know, Ricky Romance is his manager, and in December those clips were leaked...and Ricky Romance held 'that' to be true until early January...
Orlando released his single a couple weeks ago. Then Omarion gets dropped from Columbia, now this.
Weird, weird, weird.
MTO, ya'll have broken my heart today with all this bad news.
WELL THANK GOD HE'S ALRIGHT. WHEN I FIRST READ THAT HE WAS MISSING, THE FIRST THOUGHT THAT CAME TO MIND WAS ON MERLIN SANTANA. I STILL CAN'T GET OVER SOME AZZWIPE TAKING THAT YOUNG, TALENTED AND HANDSOME MAN'S LIFE. I'M GLAD THIS ONE ENDED ON A GOOD NOTE. YO ORLANDO BE SAFE AND STAY AWAY FROM THAT WEED!!

MTO YALL SLEEPIN THIS IS WHAT OTHER SITES IS POSTING (UPDATED) REPORT: ORLANDO BROWN MISSING? Wednesday, April 23, 2008
Orlando Brown (L) and his manager Ricky Romance in a recent photoshoot.According to various reports, actor Orlando Brown, best known for his stint on Disney’s That’s So Raven has been missing since early Tuesday morning.
The 20-year-old reportedly left his manager’s house around 10:20 a.m. to make a quick trip to 7-Eleven and has not been seen since. According to Brown’s publicist, Elayne Rivers, he had a full day of meetings and appointments in preparation for a photo shoot Wednesday.
Ricky Romance, Brown’s close friend and manager, has been calling all local hospitals and posting MySpace bulletins repeatedly, hoping someone somewhere might have seen or heard something about his whereabouts.
UPDATE: WORD IS, ORLANDO IS FINE. HE JUST CALLED INTO THE WENDY WILLIAMS SHOW (still waiting on audio). SO FROM NOW ON, ANYTHING RICKY ROMANCE RELATED IS HERBY BANNED FROM [SPAM].COM! & I AIN’T PLAYING.
Per Wikipedia:
On April 23, 2008, it was reported that Brown is missing. He had reportedly left a meeting with his manager to visit a 7-Eleven store in Studio City, California on the morning of April 22 and did not return. His disappearance was reported in the media on April 23. ***** This does appear to be pretty serious. I hope for the best for the young man, but if he was walking the streets with flashy, expensive jewelry, there is no telling what ruthless low life grabbed him. I seriously hope he is found alive and well.
The 20-year-old actor and aspiring musician disappeared Tuesday morning without word. He re-emerged Wednesday and issued a lengthy statement.
"It was wrong for me not to inform my manager ... about my whereabouts, especially when I am usually so routine and big on communication, but I felt a little lost and needed to get away," Brown said in a statement released Wednesday by his publicist, Elayne Rivers.
Brown went on to say he was upset at "how we as entertainers are so disrespected at times" after an incident at a nightclub where he had expected to open for the headlining act.
"I felt that that was my chance to prove that I was talented and I was really excited," Brown said. "When I was told that I couldn't perform... that really hurt. ... It got a bit overwhelming and I needed to be alone."
