It started last night when some chick retweeted an obviously fake CNN tweet: “RT @CNN: American recording artist Cher dies at 65 years old. Found dead in Malibu home.”

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.

I’m already in love with this movie because Julie Roberts is absolutely killing it as the evil queen. Now after watching this new trailer I am in love with all of the 7 drawfs, the chick playing Snow White, Nathan Lane AND the kindly grandpa voice over guy.

I’m Not Sad That Katherine Heigl’s One For The Money Is Going To TANK – Lainey Gossip

I haven’t watched this show or this actor in YEARS, yet this news still makes me sad. Watching Welcome Back Kotter when I was a kid was probably the first time I realized that grown up comedy was funny. I even remember my mother having to explain some of the jokes to me. It was also the first time I got a glimpse into what life was like outside the tiny town in the deep South I grew up in. I could not believe that people lived in tiny apartments with one room, that they rode crazy looking-graffiti covered subways and most shocking that teenagers did bad things.

Of course I loved Vinnie Barbarino and was horrified to learn as a adult that I was crushing on John Travolta. And I cracked up like the kid that I was everytime Arnold Horshak did that laugh. So RIP Juan Epstein..you were part a great childhood memory for me. I’m sorry John Travolta made it and you didn’t.

Robert Hegyes, the actor best known for playing Jewish Puerto Rican student Juan Epstein on the 1970s TV show “Welcome Back Kotter” has died. He was 60. The Flynn & Son Funeral Home in Fords, N.J., said it was informed of Hegyes’ death Thursday by the actor’s family.

A spokesman at JFK Medical Center in Edison, N.J., told the Star-Ledger newspaper that Hegyes, of Metuchen, arrived at the hospital Thursday morning in full cardiac arrest and died.

Hegyes was appearing on Broadway in 1975 when he auditioned for “Kotter,” a TV series about a teacher who returns to the inner-city New York school of his youth to teach a group of irreverent remedial students nicknamed the “Sweathogs.” They included the character Vinnie Barbarino, played by John Travolta.

The music power couple chose Winfrey for the role because they did not want to select a blood relative, a source told the gossip website Media Take Out.

Jay-Z and Beyonce have chosen Oprah Winfrey as their baby girl Blue Ivy’s godmother. Most people thought it was going to be Beyonce’s sister or Gwyneth Paltrow. A source reported that they wanted to go outside their immediate family for Blue’s godparents and really…if you going to do the godparent thing…you really can’t pick one better than The Oprah.

The music power couple chose Winfrey for the role because they did not want to select a blood relative, a source told the gossip website Media Take Out. Jay-Z’s best friend and road manager, Tyran “Ty Ty” Smith, was asked to be the child’s godfather, the gossip site reported. The cable network CEO has been a close friend to the pair and reportedly sent baby Blue a trunk full of books after her birth.
