And then it spread like wildfire from there. It spread so fast that even a few celebrities got duped. Kim Kardashian was tweeting, “Did I juist hear Cher has passed away? Is this real? OMG” and “I hope this is a twitter joke and not true. I don’t see it on the news anywhere. I’m praying its not true…”

I’m not sure why people think this sort of stuff is funny. It’s sad that someone gets a bizarre power trip watching a lie spread. I always wonder who these people are that they have so much free freakin’ time on their hands that they sit around and decide to do something so stupid.

Cher Is Not Dead – Latest Celebrity Death Hoax is a post from: Uberbitching Latest Hollywood Gossip

The 49ers fell to the Giants yesterday in the NFC Championship Game and - like Billy Cundiff on the Ravens - most of the blame lies at the feet of one player: Kyle Williams, who turned the ball over TWICE on punt returns, including one fumble that led to an easy New York field goal in overtime.

Williams has taken responsibility for the mishaps, but that isn't enough for some crazed fans.

Kyle Williams Fumbles, 49ers Lose

Many have taken to Twitter and issued death threat against the little-used wide receiver, who was only pressed in to duty due to an injury.

"It certainly makes you question our culture of sports as it stands," said Kyle's dad, Chicago White Sox General Manager Kenny Williams, while kicker David Akers also stood up for his teammate:

"I'm irritated with the way people are treating him, absolutely. I think it's ridiculous. You know, get a grip on what life's about. He went out and he put his soul out there. That's what he does. He was not trying to do anything other than make an incredible play for this team."

We agree. And fans ought to be thanking Williams for helping to set up a Giants/Patriots Super Bowl. It's gonna be epic!

Kyle Williams Takes Blame for San Francisco Defeat, Faces Death Threats is a post from: Uberbitching Latest Hollywood Gossip

Former Penn State football coach Joe Paterno, the all-time Division I leader in wins, and who resigned amid the university's child molestation scandal just months ago, is reportedly near death due to complications from lung cancer.

On Saturday, as friends and family were being summoned to State College, Pa., Hospital, a family spokesman said the coach had taken a turn for the worse.

Penn State student website Onward State reported that PSU team members were notified of Paterno's passing via email. However, a Paterno family spokesperson denied the report and his son tweeted that his father "continues to fight."

Known for his "success with honor" motto, thick glasses, rolled-up pants and black cleats, Paterno left an indelible mark on Penn State and college football in general.

Joe, 85, has five children with wife Sue and 17 grandchidlren.

A Brooklyn native and Brown University graduate, Paterno began coaching the Nittany Lions in 1966 and his tenure stretched to October of this year.

In his 46 years as head coach, Paterno holds the all-time Division I record for football coaching wins with a 409-136-3 record and two national titles.

After a highly celebrated career and iconic status, Paterno's career as coach ended as a result of a scandal involving former assistant Jerry Sandusky.

Sandusky allegedly sexually assaulted young boys, including a 10-year-old. Paterno was fired over his handling (or lack of handling) of the scandal.

Announcing his retirement, he said, “This is a tragedy. It is one of the great sorrows of my life. With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I had done more."

"I'm sick about it. I didn’t know exactly how to handle it, and I was afraid to do something that might jeopardize what the university procedure was."

"So I backed away and turned it over to some other people, people I thought would have a little more expertise than I did. It didn’t work out that way."

In November, he was diagnosed with lung cancer and his health rapidly deteriorated.

Though the scandal sullied Paterno's image in his final days, the coach enjoyed decades of success and reverence on the campus he and his wife helped build.

That's not likely to change anytime soon.

Not only that, but…

The creeps behind the site also promised the winner that he or she would not only be crowned Mr. or Mrs. Death, but would be given an iPod Touch.

The creeps behind the site also promised the winner that he or she would not only be crowned Mr. or Mrs. Death, but would be given an iPod Touch.

On the day of her death, the website posted, “Amy Winehouse has passed away. Let’s hope her demise is an example for young people in how not to deal with your problems. May she Rest In Peace and her music live on.”

Oh, so the site is an educational tool for young people not to use drugs. Lame.

Fortunately, the site doesn’t represent how most people probably feel, says Robert Thompson, a professor of popular culture at Syracuse University, because statistically speaking, the number of entries is insignificant when compared to gazillion people who use the web.

“It’s macabre and somewhat sick, I suppose,” Thompson said. “But we in an odd sort of way, we treat celebrities and talk about them in a way we would never talk about people that we know. They get categorized in this almost nonhuman sort of way, and we talk about them in mean-spirited ways, and we’ll take odds on their death…. All bets are off and all rules are moot.”

9 Celebrity Tweets on Bin Laden’s Death is a post from: Uberbitching Latest Hollywood Gossip

Joe Jackson unleashed a legal action suit against his son’s personal physician Dr. Conrad Murray in August this year, claiming that he administered a fatal dose of anesthetic Propofol, which led to the singer’s death in June 2009.

Joe alleges he was being supported by his son at the time of his passing, a claim which provides him the necessary legal standing to pursue a wrongful death suit. He is said to be seeking damages between $10 million and $500 million for loss of support, emotional distress and “loss of comfort, aid, society and companionship.”

At a federal court hearing on Monday, November 1, Jackson’s attorney, Brian Oxman, agreed to dismiss a claim alleging the King of Pop’s rights were violated under the Americans with Disabilities Act – prompting U.S. District Judge John F. Walter to rule the remaining issues needed to be handled in a state court.

The federal judge also said he would not delay the case until after the January 2011 criminal trial of Dr. Murray, who has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter in the “Thriller” hitmaker’s June 2009 death.

Federal Judge Won’t Take on Michael Jackson’s Wrongful Death Case is a post from: Uberbitching Latest Hollywood Gossip

Gay, lesbian and transgender youth have a MUCH higher suicide rate than their heterosexual peers. Fact.

SOMETHING must be done to reach out to them more!!!!

Billy Lucas, Asher Brown, Seth Walsh, Tyler Clementi and now Raymond Chase, 19, from Monticello, New York.

We have just lost a 5th young soul this week - that we know of - who is either gay or the victim or gay bullying. The 5th suicide in less than three weeks and the 3rd death just this week alone!

It is just devastating for us to report that we have learned that Raymond Chase, an openly gay sophomore at Johnson and Wales University in Providence, Rhode Island , studying culinary arts committed suicide on Wednesday, several students have informed us.

The 19 year old is believed to have hung himself in his dormitory.

Ronald Martel, Ph.D., Vice President of Student Affairs and Dean of Students, sent the following email to students on Thursday.

Today I contact you with the deeply sad news of the passing of Raymond Chase, sophomore, 19, culinary arts major. The campus community is mourning the loss of this vibrant young man who leaves many JWU friends and teachers, and a loving family of Monticello, New York.

Funeral arrangements are not available at this time. As we obtain more information that can be shared, we will do so. Ray's JWU friends and the university are planning a memorial service for the campus community. Those details will be forthcoming.

In the meantime, I encourage anyone who is having a difficult time to seek the services available at Student Counseling. Our staff of professionals is here to work with all of you during this sorrowful time. Their help and confidentiality is a benefit that you should consider.

Student Counseling services are available at the The Friedman Center, 2nd floor, Harborside Campus and at Wales (formerly Plantations) Hall, 2nd Floor, Downcity Campus. Call 401-598-1016 to reach both locations.

By expressing the university community's condolences to Ray's family, I join you during this time of bereavement.

THIS HAS TO STOP!!!!!

This is a trend that is NOT FASHIONABLE!

Suicide is never an option!

Please, please, please, TALK to your sons, brothers, cousins, friends, roommates! If someone you know is gay or questioning and going through a hard time, OFFER YOUR HELP.

Sometimes people just want to know someone is there to listen.

And, if you need someone to talk to yourself, please call the trained professionals at The Trevor Project and speak anonymously!

One life lost is bad enough but 3 in one week and 5 in less than three weeks is unacceptable!!!

America In CRISIS! A 3rd Teenage Boy Dies This Week! 5th Death From Suicide In Less Than Three Weeks!!!! is a post from: Uberbitching Latest Hollywood Gossip

Throughout this season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Danielle Staub has been referred to as a "coke whore" by her cast mates.

But spurned ex-convict Daniel Aguilar went one step further this week, telling Radar Online the troubled reality star is a "snitchin’ coke whore." And, according to sworn testimony by Aguilar, he should know.

Last Thursday, Aguilar was deposed under oath as part of Kevin Maher's defamation lawsuit against Staub.

A former drug dealer who was arrested in a kidnapping and drug distribution scheme with Staub three decades ago, Aguilar went to jail because Staub turned on him.

He said he met Staub when she worked as a prostitute and used the names Beverly Merrill and Angela Minelli. The pair started dating and working together, with Staub approaching Aguilar at one point and asking for four kilograms of cocaine to sell to her neighbor.

Aguilar provided the drugs.

But the neighbor never paid for the cocaine, and Aguilar believes he was ripped off by Staub and this man.

In order to cover her tracks, though, Staub allegedly began beating the neighbor over the head with a 9mm Beretta, threatening the man's life. She told the man's father that his son would die unless at least $25,000 was paid.

Both Staub and Aguilar were arrested for the incident and charged with extortion and intent to distribute cocaine. Via a plea bargain, Staub avoided jail time and flipped on Aguilar, sending him to prison for years.

Under oath, Aguilar admitted "I wanted to kill her because of what she did, but I realize that if she’s dead I’m not going to get paid," referring to the $100,000 he's still owed for the original cocaine shipment.

Aguilar even says he contacted Staub last month to demand the money, but she insists she owes him nothing.

It's a complicated, layered story - and a lot of it rests on the word of a convicted drug dealer. Still, that doesn't change the fact that Danielle Staub is rewarded for her incredibly shady, illegal behavior throughout the years with a six-figure salary and a starring reality show role.
