Lard Lad & Tubby Lady Killer Still Among the Living
Brandon Davis is not dead. The story got started through a report on Fox news about an anonymous 26 year old who got killed in a gas station explosion. Blogs like Perezhilton were quick to go with this starting a Google trends overload on Brandon Davis dead searches. However the anonymous gas station victim was not Davis, but some poor unfortunate. AS far as anyone knows, the man known as Greasybear, and who christened Lindsay Lohan Firecrotch, is still very much alive.
who's who
A little background for those unfamiliar with Davis - he's the heir to a billion dollar oil fortune who isn't bad looking when his glandular problems aren't acting up. He's also dated every young hottie in Hollywood from Mischa Barton to Lindsay Lohan - including Paris Hilton. He also got into some kind of bust up with Pink outside a LA nightclub over parking space. That got tweeted upon and Pink picked up some easy kudos for kicking Brandon in the buts or something. So if we've learned nothing else from Mr Davis it's that you can make yourself more popular by picking on some one that no one likes! Getting killed in a gas station explosion might have seemed like the ideal end to his colorful career as a celebrity, however that sort of thing only happens in pulp fiction.
don't go off half cocked
This is the latest in a long line of Dead on the Internet hoaxes that have taken in some very big names in media/blogging circles. If you're too quick on the draw and not thorough enough in your fact checking you can get taken - no matter who you are. However there have been enough of these Internet pranks by now that any one would be cautious when they see the world dead beside the name of some fairly famous person. Remember that credibility doesn't mean you're right. Don't believe it until it's wondertrash!
Now here's that FOX report that lead to the Brandon Davis Dead rumours that took in the likes of Perezhilton (now no longer the Internet's top gossip blog), TMZ, & Radaronline!
That's the trouble with FOX, even when they have their facts straight people still form the wrong conclusions. Now is that FOX's fault??
My Chemical Romance - bleary eyed melodrama continues
BTW for those still keeping track Lindsay Lohan is out on bail. She was taken directly to jail, in handcuffs on Friday. This was for some sort of violation involving alcohol, cocaine, & Twitter. Twitter seems more like an error in judgement - however you can easily see how it could be classed as a violation when taken too far, as it usually is and especially when in the hands of celebrities. Now the official word was that Lohan wasn't gonna be getting out this time because this wasn't a sentencing, but a hold over for a parole violation. She'd have to punch in her 30 days until a new court date could be set.red eyed theater
However Lohan's lawyer did some nifty and nimble legal work and filed a write of Habius Corpus. Now that means Lohan's right to due process had some how been violated. So with all the violations going on in both directions saner head thought that it would be better to get Lohan off their hands, like a hot potato. So they issued bail, that was promptly paid. As of now Lohan is cooling her heals in some rehab facility or another, awaiting her next high profile chemical indiscretion!
Now here's a little music video dedication for Brandon, Lindsay, and all those other poor wretched celebrities from A List down to triple Z, who haven't yet made the transition from tabloid fodder to pop culture legend by way of the usual route.
