[Hollywood Dame] De*th hoaxes aren’t always started by some random Twitter user or obscure foreign media outlet. They conveniently bring celebs back into interest without much work. Which celebrity’s PR team has used multiple de*th hoaxes for attention?
Elvis’?
lol!!!
Best.Comment.Ever!
Oh my gosh! The noise that I made after reading this wasn’t human! I absolutely support this guess!
But if it isn’t Elvis, I’m willing to bring up the “Paul is Dead” conspiracy again.
Thank you! I have to admit, I snorted (with laughter) when I typed it!
I totally agree with this comment. LOL
LIKE!!!!
I usually don’t scroll down much farther than the first response because 9 times out of 10, it’s correct. Glad I wasn’t disappointed this time!
So THAT explains his prolonged absence and all of those silly rumors about him.
Eddie Murphy is my guess. He was rumored to have died in a snowboarding accident recently.
A few celebs have, not just Eddie.
Recently Jon Bon Jovi was thought to be dead. But this could refer Macauley Calkin?
Have you seen the new pics of Mac? The next time the death rumors come out about him, we should probably double check. Sadly, may be true.
I saw this…and agree!
Cher?
I heard something about Eddie Murphy being dead?
Jon Bon Jovi?
Roger & Cowan PR…for Eddie Murphy.
Miley Cyrus has had a few death rumours
Eddie Murphy (new movie coming out pretty soon, right?)
Edie Murphy
Eddie Murphy
No idea…Justin Bieber?
Or Drake, maybe?!
Charlie Sheen, Jon Bon Jovi, and Jackie Chan were 3 very big ‘death hoaxes’ on twitter recently. So maybe one of them?
Yes — according to the BBC these gentlemen are the top three twitter’ed online death hoaxes.
If I’m not mistaken, there have been multiple Bon Jovi ones as of late. I remember reading it twice, if not 3 times.
Eddie Murphy
Eddie Murphy seems to have death reports made about him every so often.
Skrillex?
Funny thing is that I didn’t know Sonny Moore was Skrillex until a couple of days ago, and I used to be a FFTL fan haha. The ex-fan part of me is ashamed. The rest of me is ashamed to know who Sonny Moore is…
Kevin Bacon’s PR team?
Kim Jong Un?
Charlie Sheen
Cher
I see Eddie Murphy a lot.
Jeff Goldblum
Eddie Murphy?
Errrr… David Hasselhoff?
Eddie Murphy
Eddie Murphy
Pauly Shore
Madonna! Halle Berry!
Kim jun il or whatever
my guess
Kim Jong Un.
I guessed it yesterday, but it didn’t show up. Am I doing something wrong, Ace?
BETTY WHITE’S!! LOL! Actually I think this one is “Abe Vigoda”. Almost every year we hear that he died, only to find that he is still alive and than he start getting parts in tv commercial and on tv shows
Like Perry dies in a snowmobiling accident every few months, is he still considered a celeb?
Pbbbbttt!!!!
Amateurs! It’s Zsa Zsa Gabor, LOL! She’s cheated the grim reaper a dozen times in the last couple years.
Yep, her PR folks — or more accurately, her Prince husband’s PR folks — regularly are planting news items about each impending step toward death.
Jeff Goldblum is a very popular death hoax; it keeps popping up on the internet.
Kim Jong Un, you sly Stalinist devil…
Bill Cosby
Almost from the beginning of his career, Elvis death rumors abounded. They usually told of his death by drugs. Drugs was the biggest “hush, hush” cause of death in the rumors back in the day.
Others like rock ‘n roller, Fats Domino was supposed to have died in a car crash.
Other rumors were not so tragic, depending; like the one that Clint Eastwood is the illegitimate son of Stan Laurel, of the comedy team of Laurel & Hardy.
Another popular attention-getter is when a celeb says something offensive about an individual, or group, then aplogizes for it, later.
Some actually believe that any publicity is good publicity.
Eddie Murphy
Sure hope it’s not Whitney Houston considering she was just reported dead. That’d be pretty low.
Seriously, it was a little creepy to come here almost immediately after reading that she’d died and have this be the top blind.
No kidding
I think her death is real, guys. I don’t think this is fake. There was some footage of her at a club recently trying to sing. It was so depressing to watch. She supposedly slit her wrists.
Oh, really? Is that what happened? I hadn’t heard that in any of the news reports.
Now they’re saying she took too much xanax and drowned.
photos of her looking disheveled and being led out of a club with a slit wrist and streaks of dripping blood on her legs, just a few days before her death. Another entertainment show showed her popping in on Clive Davis, Brandy and Monica doing press for a Boy Is Mine revamp, and her wig was drenched with sweat, she was jittery, had dk glasses on and everyone looked super uncomfortable. I believe that was the day before her death. In other words she was effed up bad.
Being that Whtitney was reported dead, this could be her.
Wow. Awkward timing.
That was my first thought too!
Seriously.
I guess I’m not the only one who didn’t believe the Whitney story because I kept thinking about this blind.
Ya, I keep half expecting/hoping to learn Whitney was a hoax. Too bad that’s just wishful thinking.
I saw this blind this morning before work, but as soon as I heard the news of Whitney’s passing I had to check this again to see if anyone guessed her.
Same here.
I was reading this in the late afternoon pacific time and saw the maybe Whitney post, then like 10 min later it came on the news! It is shocking they can tell you on the news within 2 hours or less of a death. Anyway, any of the above answers that have hit the “top 3 Google answers”, funny.

After hearing about Whitney’s death BG was the first site I went too. I prayed that this post would read ‘solved’ with Whitney’s name…. Sadly not :’-(
Rainn Wilson dies a lot.
long time lurker, second post
) looks sure like MJs gold coffin, so maybe one of the jackson family?
Keanu reeves.

Jeff Goldblum has had at least a few death hoaxes. He even parodied it on either the daily Show or the Colbert Report once.
