Rapper Lil Wayne allegedly fell into a dangerous coma on Friday evening (March 15) after experiencing severe seizure-like symptoms. Several shady reports quickly surfaced online, claiming that Weezy had died from consuming too much Sizzurp (a concoction made of flavored soda and Codeine syrup). Those claims are completely FALSE - the "Lollipop" crooner currently remains shacked up in the hospital in "good condition." But thanks to the infamous cyber death scare, rumors started resurfacing online that comedian Adam Sandler had died - AGAIN. The "Happy Gilmore" actor remains a constant victim of the morbid celebrity death hoax, most dealing with a "tragic snowboarding accident on the snowy mountains of Switzerland." Mstars is here to reiterate that Adam Sandler IS NOT DEAD, despite seedy rumors currently circulating on Twitter and Facebook. Read More »

Mickey Rourke Dead? NO! Internet Celebrity Death Hoax Claims Infamous Actor, Boxer Died in Tragic Snowboarding Accident, FALSE

By Danica Bellini | Jan 25, 2013 10:36 AM EST

The latest celebrity to fall victim to the infamously morbid internet death hoax - none other than "The Wrestler" star and former amateur boxer Mickey Rourke. To be clear, such death rumors are NOT true. The bogus report that began circulating on the web earlier this week claims that 60-year-old Rourke died in a tragic snowboarding accident on the icy slopes of Switzerland. If fans remember, this exact same report (originally posted by the pranksters over at Global Associated News) has falsely claimed the lives of several other Hollywood big-names including Adam Sandler, Jim Carry, and Sylvester Stallone. Although "R.I.P. Mickey Rourke" quickly began trending on popular social networking sites including Twitter and Facebook, Mstarz is here to confirm that the "Angel Heart" actor is indeed still alive and well.
