Hollywood's Grand Dame of Gossip and Style
Happy Monday! It’s time for a sex tape from the 90’s. Possibly-still-alive-and-reclusive Tupac Shakur is still cranking out unreleased music and is adding lost sex tapes. Dancing, singing, a cameo from Money B and oral copulation ahoy!
Five minutes of Tupac enjoying groupies at house party has reportedly surfaced. TMZ pinky swears that footage of the slain rapper is being shopped around.
Despite the dinnertime shrieks of “OMG Zach Braff killed himself! I read it on Twitter!” that you might have heard, the actor is very much alive and well! Reports that the “Scrubs” actor had died of an apparent suicide have been spreading like wild fires yesterday, with the news even being reported on a fake CNN site and becoming a top trending topic on Twitter. The headline of the article said “Beloved Scrubs Actor Found Dead In His Home” and claimed he was found with an empty pill bottle by his side. The news of Braff’s so-called death was first reported on the hoax CNN page, which actually looked quite genuine, while another article appeared claiming that Braff had died while shooting a film in New Zealand. Thankfully, these turned out to be not true. However, if you did a little browsing on the fake CNN page it clearly gave away the hoax – all of the “top stories” on the right hand side were from 2007. Braff posted a video on Monday to his personal Facebook page, disputing the claim and calling out the person behind it.
Per PopEater:
“There was a big Internet rumor today that I was dead … that I OD’d on some pills. It’s not the case, I’m here at ‘Scrubs’ shooting the new ‘Scrubs’ title sequence, which is a little bit like dying, so I guess that was semi-accurate. A couple of inaccuracies you should have noticed when you saw the thing, if you believed it — the dude said I was found in my 32,000 square foot estate in Beverly Hills – but I’m not Oprah! That’s a big house! I just want to say to the douchebag who started this: You win my first ever douche of the day award for making my mom upset!”
Chris Laganella of New Jersey seems to be the lucky winner of that award. He has since removed the fake CNN page post and replaced it with an apology and explanation that I don’t quite understand. Laganella writes that he made the spoof page in 2007 for friends and fellow fans of “Scrubs,” but somehow it was made public without his knowledge.
Per ChrisBox:
“So let’s just clear some stuff up. I did not make this page to intentionally fool everyone on the internet. I didn’t expect it to even be made public. Ever. I’m sorry if I scared everyone out there. Zach, sorry if you got offended by me posting a fake suicide about you on the internet. Your 32,000 square foot house would be pretty empty without you. Thanks for (apparently) taking it lightly, since I haven’t gotten a letter about a lawsuit yet. Just so you know, I’m a huge fan; that’s the only reason I made this page, believe it or not. Also, sorry for upsetting your mother.”
There’s a new one of these fake troll-inspired death rumors every week. I think only school kids are fooled by it any more. Sometimes it’s the oddest celebs, which the pranksters do on purpose to make it more believable. While we’ve debunked this one, its only a matter of time before the next one pops up.

Seriously Kittens, this is getting out of control.
We have all been overwhelmed this week with the number of beloved celebs who have passed. We are also overwhelmed with the number of false death reports we have received for other celebs who are alive and well like Miley Cyrus and Jeff Goldblum.

And now, the liars have taken it a step too far by reporting that my first boo, Rick Astley, is dead.
Via The Examiner:
“There’s a purported Associated Press release doing the rounds on the internet stating that Rick Astley is dead. The release is very well done, it’s in the house style, it looks real. However, it didn’t actually appear on the Associated Press wire itself. It’s only circulating second hand.”
Don’t worry-he’s alive and well. The original story, which stated the “Never Gonna Give You Up” singer was found dead in a Berlin hotel room, has since been taken off the internet. A sure sign it was a fake.
Via Idolator:
“The phony story was submitted to CNN’s user-generated, non-edited iReport.com, which, because it carries the imprimatur of the cable news network, gets extra ‘cred’ from credulous readers.”
Make fun of Cyrus and Goldblum all you want, but leave your dirty lyin’ hands off Agent Orange.
Which is false. Patrick Swayze is alive.
A Florida radion station, KissFM, has reported that Patrick Swayze has died. A rep confirmed the rumor is complete crap and has stated he is still alive, but thanks for being news hungry whores. The rumor started at Twitter with a headlines being tossed around centering around the Floridian station via BNO.
“Florida-based radio station KissFM reports that Patrick Swayze has reportedly died. BNO News is working to get more info.”
This is the second false alarm and goes to show you that you truly can’t believe the homeless guy who lives in the alley behind Pizza Hut.
UPDATE: The station is now denying any reports of his death being made despite hundreds of people hearing the report. A rep stands by the fact that Swayze is ALIVE.
I am a child of the 90’s. Ok who am I kidding. I am 80’s girl through and through. But I still recall the west vs. east costal feud.
The war seemed to involve everyone from Sean ‘Puff Daddy’ Combs and Biggie Smalls to Tupac Shakur and Suge Knight. The first notable shooting was in November of 1994. Shakur was shot 5 times after heading into the lobby of Quad Recording Studios in Manhattan. Surviving, he implicated Sean Combs, Andre Harrell, and Biggie Smalls. The rapper then headed to jail and still managed to crank out albums. “Me Against the World” went multi-platinum. After serving his sentence he then cranked out the popular tune “California Love.”
Then on September 7th of 1996 Shakur went to the Mike Tyson VS. Bruce Seldon match at the MGM Grand in Vegas. After a member of the Crips was found in the lobby, Tupac attacked the offending gang member along with his entourage and Suge Knight. After the fight he and Suge were reroute to Club 662 (later renamed Seven) when a white Cadillac pulled up to the passenger side of Suge’s vehicle and fired over 12 shots. 4 of the bullets hit the rapper and reportedly took his life. His body was said to be cremated and his ashes were then rumored to be mixed with marijuana and smoked by members of the Outlawz.
Since then theories that the rapper actually survived the attack and is living in hiding have run rampant. Some fans and friends believe he still out there and left several clues that he faked his death. He was heavily into the philosophy of Niccol Machiavelli. The Italian philosopher also was rumored to fake his own death. Tupac went as far to dub himself ‘Makaveli’ and cranked out and album titled “Makaveli: Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory” after he died. After that, “R U Still Down?” was released in November of 1997. He even appeared in the videos for the songs. Managers insisted all the footage was taken 2 months before the fatal shooting.
A year later, “2pac’s Greatest” with 6 NEW tracks released. In several songs he made the mistake of referencing events that happened AFTER he died. Shakur talked about the movie “Armageddon” in one track and in another he applauds the Denver Broncos on winning the Super Bowl – both events taking place after he was supposedly dead. Then 1999 he released “Still I Rise” and “The Rose that Grew from Concrete” in 2000. He also performed live for an album called “Funkmaster Flex & Big Kap: The Tunnel” and new tracks once again came up on “Cellblock Compilation: Face Off II” and “Too Gangsta for Radio.” Finally, in 2001 a full album of all brand new Tupac tracks called “Until the End of Time” was released.
TMZ recently caught photos of what is said to be Tupac in a sighting in a New Orleans bar. Either this guy is a really good look-a-like or the actual rapper.
