    I agree, we would have heard it by now. Another death hoax imo, I hope so at least...

    i am just watching Willie Wonka with Johnny depp on tv, so i dont think its true ...Bobby Farell died in St Petersburg yesterday , and thats not a HOAX just saying <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? --> Also strange ...they dont know yet what happened to him..
  • I guess just because you read it in a magazine, or see it on the tv screen, or on the internet...particularly the internet, don't make it factual. I am glad that it is a fake report, as I like Johnny and feel that he and MJ have spiritual connection of some sort.

    I wish there was a Make a Wish/Global Associated News site, where we can tell the story of Michael hoaxing his death and then returning to billions of screaming, crying people all over the world. <!-- s:o -->:o<!-- s:o --> <!-- s:cry: -->:cry:<!-- s:cry: --> <!-- s:shock: -->:shock:<!-- s:shock: --> <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D --> <!-- s8-) -->8-)<!-- s8-) -->
  • Johnny Depp is featured at the tail end of Dmovie27's latest video (Bashir Code VII). The clip is from "From Hell", which is about Jack the Ripper. 2001 film. This post crosses over to the TMP thread discussions. <!-- s:shock: -->:shock:<!-- s:shock: -->

    I still think Johnny had a role in TII and Mike had a role in Alice in Wonderland. Might be a nutter's thought, but it would be brilliant.

    It looks like a rumor. I hope to God he's safe, it can't be. There were rumors about Johnny dying last year too, bogus as well. That site looks like a f***ing joke. It can't be real.

    That's a f***ing bad taste joke, it seems that Russel Crowe died too, last June, in some mountain area, also in Austria, just like Johnny "dies" now, exactly in the same mountains.



    "By midafternoon on June 10, rumors were running rampant on the internet that Russell Crowe had died in Austria on a movie set. Reports like the one found on "My Views and Reviews" said that Austrian police said Crowe had died while filming a scene for a movie on the remote mountain of Hahnenkamm. Other reports, like the one on UssPost.com, added more details, such as he fell 50 feet down a mountain to his death in Kitzbuhel, Austria.

    Kitzbuhel is a ancient city in Austria now known worldwide for its ski resort. It is situated between the mountains Hahnenkamm and Kitbuhler Horn and is a popular area for filming movies."

    Dang there have been so many celebrity hoax deaths lately. The other day there was a rumor that Aretha Franklin had died as well but obviously it was not true. I find it kinda odd that when singer Teena Marie died the other day TMZ was not the first to confirm her death I believe Roland Martin was. However they had first dibs on the MJ death story. I thought TMZ knew everything first.lol Are they slacking lately? Anyway that is really sweet what Johnny Depp says about MJ. I think he got respect for MJ because he is eccentric as well and very talented just like MJ. I like Johnny because he doesn't try to fit the mold of Hollywood and play off his good looks. He use his talent unlike some of these other actors.

    They also said that Adam sandler and Charlie Sheen died, and it wasn't true. I don't believe anything they say.

    I guess if we hear nothing of it in the next day or so that it's bunk. He's on my list of favorite actors.

    No one bothers to read the copy-pasted above. It's a bad joke.

  • Death Hoax – Owen Wilson, Adam Sandler and Charlie Sheen Not Dead
    Published: December 29, 2010 @ 12:59 pm7 CommentsPrint this page EmailShare32Share24 By Dominic PattenAnother one bites the dust … or rather the powder.

    Twitter and other social media flared up Wednesday afternoon with news that Owen Wilson died in a snowboarding accident in Switzerland.

    It turned out to be utter nonsense, of course -- just like earlier reports that Charlie Sheen and Adam Sandler suffered the exact same fate this holiday season.

    "Absolutely false,” Ina Treciokas, Wilson’s spokesperson, told TheWrap. “I spoke with him earlier. He's not in Europe.”

    Still, for a good 30 minutes -- just like with Sandler on Dec. 28 and Sheen on Dec. 26 -- Twitter lit up with shock over Wilson’s supposed passing. “Guys like I'm genuinely sad hey! Owen Wilson can't be dead!!” tweeted Sihle Sogawala.

    In the case of the hard-partying Sheen, the rumors reached such a fever pitch the day after Christmas that the “Two and a Half Men” star’s ex-wife Denise Richards even took to tweeting herself at 1:11p.m. PST on Sunday. “The rumor about Charlie Sheen is not true,” Richards wrote. “He is alive and on his way over to see his daughters. Thank u for all your concern ... .”

    Wilson’s hoaxed death comes also on the heels of Soul Queen Aretha Franklin's; earlier this week she was reported to have died from the cancer she actually does have, Eddie Murphy and Morgan Freeman, whose supposedly died on Dec. 16 according to a fake CNN re-tweet. Real celebrity deaths, like the passing of Brittney Murphy just before last Christmas and James Brown back in 2006, provided just enough factual traction for these hoaxes to get the wheels spinning.

    In the case of the 42-year old Wilson, tweeters bought into the hype or the hoax by linking to a fake story posted by a prankster news site.

    Some social mediaheads pounced. “Owen Wilson = not dead,” tweeted AOL’s Social Media Director Matthew Knell at around 11:40 a.m. PST. “At least not in a living sense. Movie career, however...”

    (Wilson’s last two movies, the recently released “How Do You Know” and “Little Fockers,” haven’t been what one could call critical favorites.)

    As the re-tweets that the actor was alive and well started to spread, hoax turned to jokes; Greg Horowitz, Mediabistro’s Product Development Director, tweeted: “The creepiest thing about that Owen Wilson rumor is that it appears to be some sort of macabre viral marketing for a ski resort.”

    And so are Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, Jeff Goldblum, Harrison Ford, George Clooney, Louie Anderson, Miley Cyrus, Ellen DeGeneres, Britney Spears, Nathalie Portman, Rick Astley, James Caan, Russel Crowe and now Johnny Depp. The last 2 "died" in the popular ski-resort Kitzbuhel, Austria. Weird, not a coincidence. I was in the Pillersee area and Kitzbuhel in March 2010. What about it? It's striking that all mentioned "died" artists are succesfull Hollywood artists.
