jurassic park: kick ass movie!


Prolific actor Jeff Goldblum (The Fly, Jurassic Park) is alive and well despite false reports that he too passed away today along with wildly popular and beloved TV icon Farrah Fawcett and worldwide music sensation Michael Jackson.

“Reports that Jeff Goldblum has passed away are completely untrue,” said the actor’s publicist in a statement released this evening. “He is fine and in Los Angeles.”

In what some see as a sad attempt to drive traffic to their sites, stories of Goldblum’s fabricated demise hit the blogosphere shortly after the Michael Jackson story began to hit a fever pitch.

Megastar Harrison Ford was also a victim of a similar hoax. According to the New York Daily News, these false stories are generated by prank websites. A user simply plugs in someone’s name, and off to the wild blue yonder it goes.

Really, people? The internet is a pure, magical place for honest businesses like gossip blogging and porn. Shame shame.
