Natalie Portman is alive and well. It is the second false death rumour to sweep the internet in the last few days, after jeff Goldblum. According to mashable.com, the source of the stories is a web site known as faheawish.com, which actually will generate a story around the celebrity of your choice. Mashable.com reports as follows.
“As it turns out, there’s actually one site responsible for all of these stories – fakeawish.com. The site lets you input the name of a celebrity, and then generates a fictitious story about their untimely demise. The news story actually somewhat resembles a Yahoo News page, which is perhaps why these stories get wings and spread.”
So be forewarned. There are a lot of bogus death stories floating around. The reasons people would want to spread such twaddle would make for interesting speculation.
