#4 RIP Jeff Goldblum <hr style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" size="1"> <!-- / icon and title --> <!-- message --> New Zealand Police are reporting that Jeff Goldblum has fallen to his death on the set of his new movie... not confirmed at this time... Very sad day.
Reports of Jeff Goldblum's and Harrison Ford's deaths are grossly exaggerated. As the nation was hit with not one, but two tragic celebrity deaths on Thursday - Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson - the Internet seemed to suggest two more Hollywood demises had occurred that same day: "Jurassic Park" actor Goldblum and "Indiana Jones" himself, Harrison Ford. The rumors of Goldblum and Ford's untimely deaths turned out to be false, and were in fact well-known Internet pranks that once made similar claims of Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise. "Reports that Jeff Goldblum has passed away are completely untrue," said the actor's publicist in a statement Thursday night. "He is fine and in Los Angeles." According to Snopes.com, these stories are automatically generated with fake scenarios via prank websites. Users simply plug in any name - which in this case were Goldblum and Ford. For Goldblum, it was suggested he fell to his death while filming a movie in New Zealand. Ford supposedly disappeared while on a boat in the French Riviera. This kind of prank first appeared online in 2006, and targeted Hanks. Cruise was similarly reported "dead" in 2008. The still living and breathing Goldblum and Ford do have one thing in common, however. They will be sharing the big screen in 2010. The pair co-star in the New York-set "Morning Glory," a comedy about a failing morning news program, which also stars Rachel McAdams and Diane Keaton. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/200...stories_make_dire_claims.html#ixzz0JYN25qLr&D
