death is not funny and whoever started this hoax should be ashamed of themselves. it takes a really sick(as in mental) to do something like this! Get real you moron!!!!
RIP Jeff Goldblum. A great actor and singer.
Yeah ! the Fly is still alive !
This such bs.
Why even entertain ‘rumors’?
Adam, it might be a shock to you, but yesterday we did not lose two, but hundred thousands (and averagely 6,646 only in the US)
But there will be a 3rd – always is.
But there will be a 3rd – always is!

Jeff has been on Colbert twice this week. Looked very much alive to me. But wait, come to think of it, the back of his hair was messed up in a weird way; like he’d been laying down for a long time. Has he risen from the dead?
Yeah, Jafh, I’ll always remember where I was and what I was doing when those hundred thousand people died.
I saw this on a message board last night, but couldn’t find any other info on it, so I am glad to see that EW confirmed it was a hoax. Sick, though, that someone would do that.
Clearly this was someone’s idea of a joke gone horribly wrong. Probably along the lines of “Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, and now Michael Jackson. Celebrities are dropping like flies. Who next?” Then a joke reply of “Jeff Goldblum” referring to his title role in “The Fly”.
terrible… they need to find out whose been killing all these celebrities and stop them before they strike again!!!
There is only one word to describe Jeff Goldblum: sublime. OK, maybe there are two words…sublime and ALIVE.http://www.getback.com/gallery/jeff-goldblum-flipbook/2985756
I LOVE Jeff Goldblum. I am so gald that he is fine.
This is the first time I had heard about it.
Did a dinosaur eat him?
O.K., which is it? “Fine” or “in Los Angeles”. One CANNOT be both!
I’ll always remember where I was and what I was doing when L learned that Jeff Goldblum is still alive.
why would you say that? thats just stupid!
I love me some Jeff Goldblum so when I heard that someone started this hoax, yesterday of all days mind you, I was beyond disgusted. How can anyone joke about someone’s death be they famous or not?
Mark Twain, on the other hand, really is dead.
I feel that people have no humility anymore. I have received so many cruel so called jokes via txt about MJ that I am just beyond disgusted. What happened to letting the dead rest in peace?
Farrah Fawcett died and went to heaven, she met God and he gave her 1 wish. She asked for all of the children of the world to be safe. So God killed Michael Jackson, that sick mother fuc*er!!!
sky saxon really died june 25th
HAHA I know who started it!!
This comment is to justice. calling somebody like MJ a sick m*** just makes you the typical extremely jealous hateful Caucasion that wanna believe what is a straight up lie about MJ! who r u 2 pass judgement on anybody when your far from a saint, and would never-ever be one to begin with! what have u done lately huh? froze some ppl’s hea** in your fridge and pot stewed them, then served your pals up!
To sus7637: While I agree with you that Justice’s joke was in extremely poor taste, I have to ask, why did you feel the need to make it about race? How do you even know if he/she is Caucasian?
Someone just heard that Obama killed the Fly and it just spun out of control from there.
I wonder why some white people NOT ALL just believe all the lies they hear so much about blacks.They are not convicted but still these set of white people will show wilfull hatred towards them.On the other hand people like Farrar whose drug use has been well documented,whose house sitter was a drug buyer for her and who cheated on her previous husband,Lee Major appears to these insane people as an angel and flawless
