Eddie Murphy Dead? No, Just Another Hoax

The Internet is abuzz with reports that Eddie Murphy is dead. He is not.

We repeat: Twitter is not a news source. Eddie Murphy is 100% alive.

Sources close to the Tower Heist star have already debunked the hoax, just the latest in a long line of online pranks designed to fake kill a star for some reason.

The frenzy was initially sparked by MediaFetcher (dot) com, then spread like wildfire thanks to Twitter. This site is believed to be responsible for spinning bogus stories about other numerous celebrities they claim are dead but are not.
The Bon Jovi death hoax was a different guy, but Cher, Charlie Sheen, TooShort, The Rock, Kevin Bacon, Luke Perry, Jack Black, Will Smith, Jaden Smith, Tom Green, Tiger Woods, George Clooney and others have fallen victim of late.
All are still alive and kicking. Thank goodness.

Rihanna and Chris Brown: Following Each Other on Twitter!!!

Chris Brown is totally following Rihanna on Twitter! And vice versa! Let's hear it for letting bygones be bygones and patching things up via social media!

According to an impromptu investigation, both are not only following each other, but added each other very recently. Makes you wonder, doesn't it?!?!?

Asked by a fan why she would follow Brown and if this meant something significant, Rihanna Tweeted back, "its fu**in twitter, not the alter! calm down."

A judge recently lifted the restraining order prohibiting them from having contact. It had been in place since he beat her up more than two years prior.
Rihanna basically said at the time that she was doing him a favor - no restraining order makes it easier for him to attend award shows and the like.
Just the same, she clarified that they have no relationship. If nothing else, following each other's Tweets implies some kind of relationship. Right?

Justin Bieber on Marg Helgenberger Comments: Kinda Lame!

The criticism lobbed at Justin Bieber by Marg Helgenberger came out of nowhere this weekend, and apparently came as a big surprise to Bieber himself.

Bieber seems to be pretty shocked that the CSI actress said he was a "brat" on the set, citing numerous examples of the youngster's behavior.

He finds it especially odd, since they never actually worked together.

Bieber just went on Twitter and said in response, "it's kinda lame when someone you met briefly and never worked with comments on you."
Still, he added, "I will continue to wish them luck and be kind."
"rumors are just that...rumors. In the end if you just be kind and be yourself people will know who you are. That goes for anyone i think."
Biebs also said, "I know who i am and sometimes people r just going 2 say what they want. Keep ur head up and be the man ur mama raised."
You tell 'em, JB. And u b the man ur fans luv 4 ever 2.
