Charlie Sheen, Owen Wilson, Adam Sandler, Eddie Murphy and Morgan Freeman have all had rumours of their deaths greatly exaggerated over the last week.
The false reports began with fake news stories posted on the internet which were then picked up and spread by people using social networking websites.
In separate hoaxes several of the stars were said to have died in snowboarding accidents. It was not clear whether the same person or group was behind all of the hoaxes.
The false rumour of Charlie Sheen's death reached his ex-wife Denise Richards who issued a statement on the microblogging website Twitter, saying: "The rumour about Charlie Sheen is not true. He is alive and on his way over to see his daughters."

Maybe someone else could do a poll, my batteries have fun out, but this is interesting NASA has just published their top list of most absurd Hollywood Sci-fi films.
Top of the pile: 2012!

"Experts at America's National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and Science and Entertainment Exchange have put together a list of the least plausible science fiction movies ever made, and the big budget 2009 picture came top.

The film, which depicted Earth besieged by natural disasters, featured ahead of two more 'end-of-the-world' movies - 2003's The Core and 1998's Armageddon.

Donald Yeomans, head of NASA's Near-Earth Asteroid Rendezvous mission, says of 2012, "It's absurd. The film-makers took advantage of public worries about the so-called end of the world as apparently predicted by the Mayans of Central America, whose calendar ends on December 21, 2012.

"The agency is getting so many questions from people terrified that the world is going to end in 2012 that we have had to put up a special website to challenge the myths. We have never had to do this before."

Staff at the organisation also compiled a list of the top 10 most realistic sci-fi films, with 1997's Gattaca, starring Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman as space agency workers, winning the highest praise from the scientists. NASA experts also named dinosaur movie Jurassic Park and Jodie Foster's Contact among the most realistic sci-fi films."

Christ. Is it fair to say the voters must have been very young?

My thoughts exactly! At least for the movies, if not for the TV awards.

Crappiest award ceremony ever...
Go ahead, make my day - by visiting my blog: http://jacobthehobnob.wordpress.com/

Member number 33 of the "100 free films in 2012" club. I saw 32, which is rather delightful.. I beat Mr. Glass on free films but he narrowly inched me out on total films seen.

Member number 33 of the "100 free films in 2011" club. I saw 20, interestingly enough. My more realistic target was to see more free films than TheyCallMeMrGlass. I lost.
