Emma Watson NOT Dead In Car Crash

We usually steer clear of fake celebrity death stories, but we look out for our readers…because we LOVE you!!! However, we’d love to report Emma Watson Pregnant with Daniel Radcliffe’s baby, but I don’t count on that happening any time soon.

It seems that over the past 24 hours, the internet has become a frenzy of rumors that “Harry Potter” star Emma Watson died in a car accident. This rumor is, as usual, simply unture. Emma is alive and, from what we hear, well.

Here is the report made by a YouTube user:

Emma Watson dies on scene of fatal car collision
1 hour ago

Los Angeles, CA- Millions are in shock after Emma Watson died overnight in a car crash. The 19 year-old actress, most famous for her roles in the Harry Potter films, was killed while being driven back to hotel after a screening of her latest movie, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, when a car collided with her vehicle. Watson is reported to have died at the scene. Her relatives have so far refused to comment, only quoting that they are ‘too distraught’ to speak with the media.

Police are questioning witnesses about two men who reportedly fled the scene following the crash. The two men are said to be in their early twenties, one caucasian and the other hispanic. Anyone with information is urged to contact the authorities immediately.”

***”Harry Potter” Spoiler Alter***

This story likely began as a result of multiple internet searches from Potter fans seeking to find out if Watson’s character, Hermione Granger, dies at the end of the last book. We happily will let you know that, like Emma herself, Hermione is alive and well at the end of the Potter series.

However, the real danger with this story is that several URL links on this story are virus encrusted. That’s right kittens. It’s all an elaborate hoax designed to crash your computer—and bad.

Please steer clear of all stories about Emma’s possible death. Come to Hollywood Dame for your completely disease-free gossip (we take our antibiotics regularly). Huzzah for free clinics!

Note By The Dame: First of all if she were dead the big sites would be all over this and You Tube wouldn’t be out-scooping TMZ and the like. Someone claimed they are just waiting for details. No site or news outlet would wait. At the very least the announcement she was dead with they typical “story developing” tag would be up. So I am calling BS on this. Plus if you do go to the site claiming this you will be the lucky recipient of a virus. Finally several phone calls made to insiders have told me she is fine.

UPDATE: To further the hoax busting the Digg story that was making rounds claiming she died has been deleted. Likely do to the fact that it was a false story. Now, Emma’s rep, Jo has confirmed she is not dead stating that the hoax was “horrid nonsense clearly aimed at mischief making. I have to agree with her.
