Britney Spears: R.I.P. Hoax. 2009
Rest assured pop fans, Britney Spears is NOT dead, she's just one of the latest on a long list of celebrity death hoaxes. The same day that Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett died, Internet rumors were flying that Jeff Goldblum fell to his death during an on-set accident in New Zealand (the same rumor had been spread about Tom Hanks in 2006 and Tom Cruise in 2008) and that Harrison Ford was lost at sea when his yacht capsized. Luckily neither proved to be true.
Over the weekend, somebody hacked into Britney's Twitter account and posted this message, "Britney has passed today. It is a sad day for everyone. More news to come." The news is this - not only is Britney alive, so are Ellen DeGeneres and P. Diddy (whose accounts were also hacked). So are George Clooney and Rick Astley who were reported dead this week, too. All of these stars join a long list of celebrities who have lived through rumors of their untimely demise – here are some of the most legendary.

On Worst Talk Shows in History...
fed-up said "Chevy Chase was very funny when he was on SNL. That was a very funny show during the 70s, with the first set of comedians but, like Magic Johnson, Chevy Chase was a flop when he got his own show. And Alf was just too strange--he was just awful--a disaster! I really hated Alf, really did not like that character! Wasn't cute or adorable. Didn't like him at all. Still don't!"

On Weird Facts About Nicolas Cage...Timo said "C'mon folks, the dude just a cool good actor. I don't care what kind of movie it is as long as Nicolas Cage or Denzel (my other obsession) are in it. His spending? I would buy all that shit especially the houses if I could afford it. Octopus and Cobra? NO. I laughed my ribs off from his admission ...."We come from a long lineage of robbers and highwaymen in Italy. Even killers." Go Nic just don't end up broke like Mike Tyson!"

On Weird Facts About Nicolas Cage...majik said "eBay was made for people like this. Some of the things owned by Nicholas will go for huge money as long as it does not appear to be a firesale. I enjoy all of his movies and do hope that Mr. Cage can continue to provide the entertainment on and off screen for a very long time to come."

On Weird Facts About Nicolas Cage...mickey_dees2009 said "It seems to me that some people are forgetting where we live. This is the United States of America! And as such we are entitled to freedoms. If we choose to spend our money on "weird" items, then so be it! Its our money and we can do with it as we wish. Put yourself in his shoes and you would more than likely buy what he is being criticized for. Would you like for the people or the government to tell you what you can and cannot buy or own? NO! Get off it! Nic Cage is a great actor. Period.And as far as 'helping charities , he does help by donating his time and money (money that he worked for) to charities and needy orginations. "Help the the children and people of Kenya"? For those of who still believe in God and doing what is morally right, Take care of what is in your own backyard. Clean up this country and then we will be in better shape to help others. Also, who was it that came up with the website godismichaeljackson, is a fool. Pure and simple.! That is blasphemy 100 % ! No human (dead or alive) can compare to God."

On Weird Facts About Nicolas Cage...dwightmlee said "You failed to mention that he has one of the biggest egos on the planet! There’s the answer to all your questions. His financial problems – all attributable to his massive ego – but of course he blames them on others – like all the egotists always blame everything – on others!"

On Weird Facts About Nicolas Cage...jeffreyw4 said "I've always been puzzled by this "brilliant actor" buzz. Nic Cage is a reasonably competent actor and has some emotional range. But he is a one character performer. That is, he ultimately only plays himself. And a lot of his delivery has a sort of monotone blandness to it. By contrast great actors like Philip Seymour Hoffman and Daniel Day Lewis not only can emote (much more convincingly, I would add) but can also take on truly diverse roles. "
-
On Weird Facts About Nicolas Cage...BRUT said "Mr. Cage is a brilliant actor who has every right to spend his hard earned money any way he wants. Eccentric lifestyle adds to his box office appeal and I would feel honored to have met the man someday. You try making that much money and not being a little quirky with it. Carry on Nick - your fans will not think less of you no matter what weird things they say about you. You have provided hours of high quality entertainment for all of us and I thank you."

On Weird Facts About Nicolas Cage...tweetysmom said "His only mistake was his financial adviser. As far as what they print and what we read and get out of it, that is up to us or is it up to what they want us to believe? The reason NC does not respond to any of this; his life and he did not ask us..."

SassyMomma, Miley Cyrus is a tramp in the making. I don't blame her, I blame her parents. From the dirty pictures she takes and leaks every couple of months, to the fact she is dating a 20 (something) year old. Its just sick and perverted. Her parents are riding the gravy train and letting her run wild. She is like trailer park trash with a credit card.

why would someone wish Miley Cyrus dead because she seems to be a good girl and not immoral like most of society prefers?

I guess some people find humor in strange ways but I think falsely reporting someone's death is a little on the sick side. I am glad they are all alive and well and hopefully have many more years to enjoy life.
