There always seems to be celebrity death hoaxes that pop up online every couple of months, usually they are started by bored people on the internet who think it’s funny and other times it’s by the celebrity’s publicist looking to get a bit of publicity for the celeb. Here are 8 memorable ones that IBT came up with:
Hugh Hefner
Despite loads of recent Internet rumors, Hefner is not dead. For the past few years, celebrity death hoaxes virally spread faster to mass amounts of people with each new development in social media. Whether creating a celebrity death hoax is a fad done by bored Internet users or crafty publicists looking for free publicity for a stagnant star, it’s up to you to decide. Here are seven celebrities who falsely made it to heaven.
Justin Bieber
Pronounced dead twice in one day, a viral tweet spread around that Justin was shot by a publicist and then killed in a car accident back in June. He tweeted, “Wait … turns out I’m alive.”
Wesley Snipes
Again, Twitter users are the culprit for the latest scandal in fake Hollywood deaths, Snipes, who is said earlier this week to have been killed in a fight. The actor is alive in prison after being charged for defrauding the U.S. in 2006.
Lindsay Lohan
It’s debatable if she’s well, but LiLo is definitely alive, though she was reported dead on Wikipedia. Recently, she was targeted again by a Twitter user under a misspelled Kim Kardashian alias that she had died of an overdose.
Britney Spears
On the same day as Michael Jackson died, a hacker posted on Britney’s Twitter, “Britney has passed today. It is a sad day for everyone. More news to come.” Ellen Degeneres and P.Diddy were also attacked by the same hacker that day.
Tom Hanks
Back in November 2006 before Twitter, a fake news site said that Hanks fell from a cliff in New Zealand, citing police officials and an exact time.
Will Smith
After being reported dead in a car crash back in 2009, Smith was claimed dead again on the Internet from falling off a cliff in New Zealand. Sound familiar? Hint: See Tom Hanks above.
Paris Hilton
During her stay in the Los Angeles Twin Towers Correctional Facility, it was reported that Hilton was dead, either from suicide or being stabbed seven times, neither of which were true.
I think it’s disgusting for a person to come up with rumors like this. What do you think? Any that should have been on this list but were forgotten?

The Forbes’ Best Paid Celebrities Under 30 list is certainly an all-star cast!
Lady Gaga topped the list by grossing $170 million. She is followed by the youngest celeb to make the roll, 17-year-old teen heartthrob Justin Bieber, who raked in $53 million.
Miami Heat star LeBron James came in third with $48 million, fourth place went to tennis star Roger Federer with $47 million, while Taylor Swift rounded out the top five with $45 million.

Other celebs on the list include Katy Perry with $44 million, Rihanna with $29 million, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart who tied with $20 million and Miley Cyrus who earned $15 million.

In total the full 100 celebrities earned a combined total of $4.5 billion over the past year but the list doesn’t just go based on money, it also goes on social media and other stuff which is how GaGa bumped Oprah because let’s face it when it comes to the media GaGa is the most used name in the world at the moment.

01. Lady GaGa
02. Oprah
03. Justin Bieber
04. U2

This has to be the best quote about Justin Bieber that I’ve ever heard. Mos Def took to Twitter to talk about the boy’s junk….it’s classic, really.
He tweeted, “I heard Justin Bieber has a 10 inch dick, but its in his ass and belongs to Usher.”
Since Justin is still just a fetus, we’re not really going to speculate on the actual size of his junk…primarily because we just don’t care. That was a funny quote, though. It’s WINNING!
So we’ll leave you with that before Chris Hansen is knocking on our door, telling us to “have a seat right there.”
