The Calling's Alex Band Violent Abduction/Beating HOAX to Promote Band's 'Big 2013 Comeback?' Singer Releases 'Severe' Injury PHOTOS/911 Call, 'Captors Took Mercy for My Baby!'

By Danica Bellini, Mstars Reporter | Aug 20, 2013 11:15 AM EDT

TMZ reports that over the weekend, Alex Band (lead singer of the popular rock band The Calling) was abducted on the streets of Michigan. The 32-year-old "Tonight" crooner was violently beaten, robbed, and abandoned by a crew of unidentified van bandits. Photos of Band's "severe" injuries have since gone viral online, and police are currently investigating the situation. But was the whole "kidnapping" scenario simply a stint to promote The Calling's "big" 2013 comeback? Band heatedly insists that his near-death experience was definitely NOT a hoax - the only reason his captors gave mercy is because his wife's expecting a baby soon, and the abductors allegedly said that they "don't kill fathers."

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.

Justin Bieber and Kylie Jenner Dating? 'Secret Romance' After Selena Gomez Split a Hoax, Instagram Pic of New Couple Photoshopped [PHOTO]

By Danica Bellini | Jan 23, 2013 04:11 PM EST

A suspicious photo of Justin Bieber holding hands with Kim Kardashian's little sis Kylie Jenner recently hit the web, sparking rumors that the Biebs is dating the 15-year-old reality starlet just a few weeks after breaking up with girlfriend Selena Gomez. But no worries, Jelena hopefuls, the rumors are a hoax thanks to the craftiness of one talented Photoshop mastermind. It turns out that the image, which was posted on Jenner' alleged "secret" Instagram account Iputthedistrictonmyback, is merely an old pic of Bieber and Gomez holding hands while trying to escape the paparazzi (with Kylie's head photoshopped over the "Spring Breakers" face).

Justin Bieber 'Smoking Weed' Photos Spark Morbid 'Cutting for Bieber' Twitter Hoax, Sparks Disturbing Fan Response and Outrage

By Danica Bellini | Jan 08, 2013 10:58 AM EST

Photos recently surfaced online of pop megastar Justin Bieber allegedly smoking weed with a group of friends at an L.A. hotel party - and such shady images have sparked an outrageous social media/networking outcry. In response to the alleged "Justin Bieber smoking marijuana" photos, hoaxers posing as fans started an online campaign entitled "Cutting for Bieber" and started posting several (supposedly) fabricated gruesome self-harm images. Unfortunately the morbid prank began trending on Twitter as #CutForBieber and #CuttingForBieber, with many loyal fans taking the social media hoax seriously and posting their own images of slashed wrists, blades, and blood. While the Biebs has yet to respond to the shocking and disturbing hashtag trend, fellow pop star Miley Cyrus took to Twitter, exclaiming that self-harm is a serious issue and not something to be joked about or taken lightly.

Hailie Mathers' Taylor Swift Twitter Rant a HOAX: Eminem's Daughter Didn't Tweet Songstress is a 'Whore,' Bogus Account Deactivated

By Danica Bellini | Dec 06, 2012 11:31 AM EST

A bogus Twitter hoax has caused viral hysteria once again - this time involving rapper Eminem's teenage daughter Hailie Jade Mathers and pop country songstress Taylor Swift. According to reports, 16-year-old Mathers allegedly tweeted the 22-year-old starlet on Monday (Dec. 3), exclaiming that she better "stop whoring around" with the "love of her life" (referring to One Direction heartthrob Harry Styles). The fake Twitter account even sent out an official apology following the viral Swift rant! But now reports confirm that it wasn't young Mathers who sent out the harsh tweets, but an impersonator (who quickly disabled the bogus Twitter account and quickly dissolved into cyber world oblivion). It was pretty odd that the daughter of a controversial "bad boy" rapper would be a diehard fan of the pop-boy band 1D, anyway! Read More »
