Zach Braff Is Not Dead

by

The 34-year-old Scrubs actor is alive and well, thank you very much. A prankster created a fake internet report page saying that he has committed suicide. The phony CNN page circulated all over Twitter, alleging that he has been found dead next to an empty pill bottle.

Yesterday, the actor denied the rumors by posting this message on his official Facebook page:

[Sic] “Hi. I’m very much alive. Total internet rumor. Amazing how fast one douche can spread a lie. Be careful out there on the internets friends. Please spread the word… Video of me holding todays paper to follow… Love, zb”

Two hours later he posted the promised video, explaining: “I’m alive. I’m here at Scrubs shooting the new Scrubs title sequence, which is a little bit like dying so I guess that was semi-accurate. Also, I would never off myself with pills. If I had to do it, I would do it the way that everyone else would do it—by hitting myself with pots and pans.”

He also sent this shout-out to the anonymous person who started the rumor: “I just want to say to the douche bag who started this: You win my first every douche of the day award for making my mum upset.”


Don’t believe everything you read on the internet. This fake CNN page circulated all over twitter on October 12.

Pete Wentz: From Emo to Skinhead

by

“This is the death of the emo swoosh,” Pete Wentz twitted on October 4. The Fall Out Boy rocker had his friend Mark Hoppus of Blink 182 shave his head onstage at the Madison Square Garden.

According to Splash News Online, his haircut was part of a promise that Wentz made saying that he would do anything to get on the bus—the Blink 182 bus.

Soon after fans reacted to his new ‘do, Wentz twitted to Hoppus: “Haha dude u are quite the barber. Talk of the town.”

What do you think about his new crop?

Teen Stars Fire Up “We Day”

by

It’s like a Bono humanitarian concert for teens and tweens. We Day is an annual youth empowered rally by Free The Children, an organization that aims to fight child labor. This year, We Day started out in two different venues and dates in Canada—September 29 at Vancouver’s GM Place and October 5 at Toronto’s Air Canada Centre. The third and final set will be on November 5 at the Hamilton Place.

Some 16,000 students and teachers attended the musical event. Guest performers such as The Jonas Brothers, Justin Bieber, Hedley and dancers from So You Think You Can Dance Canada were received with ear-splitting cheers from the crowd.

The event wasn’t just about a cool concert. The kids and teens in attendance were in full support of the organization’s cause—to make tangible actions that make a better world, especially for children. Humanitarians, environmentalists, motivational speakers and politicians were greeted like rockstars at the event.


SOS call: The Jonas Brothers made a surprise appearance.


Justin Bieber performed the acoustic version of his hit “One Time” at We Day.

“We share with our team and we truly believe it’s not about us. It’s about the issues and we share that with all the young people,” said Marc Kielburger, one of the founders of Free The Children. “We’re just happy that the young people feel that it’s really cool to get socially engaged and what we’re fighting most of all is we’re fighting apathy.”

“Everyday action is our message and people respond to that message because they’re really searching to bring about a positive change in this world,” added co-founder Craig Kielburger.

With the success of the rally, it looks like the kids heard the message loud and clear.

Edward Furlong: Judgment Day

by

Back in the day he was a teen heartthrob, thanks to movies such as Terminator 2, Pecker, and American History X. Now, Edward Furlong is fighting a battle far more toxic than cyborgs—his ex wife, Rachael Bella (a.k.a Rachael Kneeland).

Citing irreconcilable differences, she filed for divorce last summer and in usual Hollywood fashion, things are turning for the worse. She recently won a restraining order against him because of alleged violent acts.

Kneeland said in an interview, “he grabbed me, bruised me, pushed me, made threats of more violence, [and] left messages saying he would hire people to come and beat me with chains and bats.” She also claimed that Furlong abuses illegal drugs such as cocaine.

Furlong’s representative, R.J. Rousso, recently told People that the allegations are false. “Mr. Furlong vehemently denies all allegations that have been made and is currently working with his legal team to have this temporary restraining order extinguished,” Rousso said. “Unfortunately, the two parties are going through a very contentious divorce and custody battle. Eddie’s main concern is his son, Ethan, and moving forward with his life.”

As for the drug accusations, Rousso rebuts, “Eddie has been sober for more than five years and is preparing to begin production on a new film.” He began shooting the adaptation of The Green Hornet last weekend with fellow actors Seth Rogen, Cameron Diaz, Jay Chou, Edward James Olmos, David Harbour, Tom Wilkinson and Christoph Waltz.

On September 25, the Superior Court has ordered Furlong to stay 100 yards away from Kneeland. The 32-year-old actor was also stripped of visitation rights for his 3-year-old son. Furlong is fighting to have the temporary order revoked.

This isn’t Furlong’s first relationship that ended in court. In 1998, his former girlfriend-manager Jacqueline Louise Domac, 14 years his senior, sued him for abuse and breach of contract.

We wonder what Judgment Day has in store for Furlong this time around.
