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.
