My roommate texted me to say that he read online that Jeff Goldblum has either been killed or injured while filming in New Zealand...?????

But with all the Michael Jackson hype I am having difficulties confirming online...anyone have a source?

I googled his name and got some hits under the "news" section but every time I tried to click on one of the links they came up broken.

WTF? Really?




I'm not believing anything until there's confirmation.

After the MJ news, unconfirmed reports of Jeff Goldblum and Harrison Ford both dying circulated. People have a sick sense of humor. Believe nothing until a reputable source reports it.

I hadn't heard about Harrison Ford

I have gotten to messages about Goldblum. Both from reputable sources. But with everthing going on, who knows if they even got the right info.

Isn't the movie he's currently working on in NY?

Plus, I am seeing some online chatter that the original report came from "FakeAWish.com," which apparently generates fake news stories you can plug names into, so...

The main source seems to be "Global Associated News," which if you Google, you can also see that they have a story about Paul Newman dying in a plane crash and the same falling in New Zealand story about Brad Pitt.

It's the Jeff Goldblum news vortex.

[Eris0303]

Well, darn

That one said that since it's already tomorrow in NZ Jeff only has hours to live

Here's SOMETHING

And Brad Pitt, apparently. While meanwhile, Paul Newman died in a plane crash.

Oh, and Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise also died in New Zealand in 2006/2008, apparently from plunging off the same cliff. Thetans?

Apparently the Jeff Goldblum hoax goes back to 1999. His Wikipedia page has been locked so no one can post, for the moment.

And apparently Perez Hilton spoke to his manager and reports that he's just fine, alive and well.

Well if Perez says he's fine...

That is just so not funny.

Kevin Spacey Twitters that Jeff is fine. Kevin claims to have spoken to his PR man.

Clearly they need to scout different locations in the future.

Meanwhile, one of CNN's front-page links of "Latest News" is a story of how Jason Ninant of "Naked Boy News" blog fame (never heard of it until now) exercised for six months and noticed results in his abs.
This is REAL news

He was skinny before, now he has 0% body fat...

Who cares?
