UPDATE: Diana Ross Dead? Baby Bump 'Fat-Shaming' PHOTO Sparks Scary Twitter Death Hoax, NOT Pregnant!

The image (originally posted by The Shade Room) shows Ross casually walking down the street in Los Angeles, and she appears to be flaunting a rather large baby bump!

Twitter fans immediately started spreading rumors online. Obviously, several tweeters strongly believe the The Supremes goddess just gained a few extra pounds in her old age:

@wilkravitz: "Is Diana Ross pregnant with the medically implanted genetic clone of Michael Jackson? That would be a wonderful thing."

@DeMarko_Gage: "Diana Ross isn't pregnant. She just eating good."

@xMelCole: "Why is Diana Ross pregnant ? She's all of 170 years old."

@mixedupboy: "Yeah right, Diana Ross is pregnant at 71. People are stupid."

@zekiddd: "Diana Ross is 71 & she's pregnant... That's really sick..."

@SugarJones: "Diana Ross is NOT dead or pregnant. She just has a big tummy. Given that she's SEVENTY-ONE, I think we can cut her some slack."

@Camyyy__: "I'm confused. Is Diana Ross pregnant? Did I miss something?"

@MrWordsWorth: "All of you tweeting about Diana Ross being pregnant: Stop, in the name of love."

@Maxine_Million: "Wait diana ross is pregnant? So much for that love hangover."

@CrystalLewis: "Y'all, Diana Ross is 70+ years old. The only thing that woman is pregnant with is purpose."

But calm the hysteria! The popular entertainment webloid GossipCop.com recently confirmed that these shocking pregnancy rumors are simply "not true." An alleged source actually "laughed-off" such claims.

But what would MstarsNews readers think if Ross DID snag the title of "world's oldest pregnant woman" from India native Rajo Devi Lohan (who conceived at 70)? Sound-off in the comments section below!

Ross married second husband Arne Næss, Jr. in 1986 and always considered him the true "love of her life." He later died during a South African mountain climbing accident in 2004.
