RIP Jeff Goldblum. A great actor and singer.

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
