Melissa Gilbert had a scary wake-up call this morning. That is because she got a Google alert saying she had passed away.
The actress took to social media to let us know she is still alive. “’Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated,'” she wrote. “It would be funny if I didn’t have a husband, mom, sister, kids, grandkids, friends and a career….whomever is doing this, knock it off! #deathhoax”
Gilbert is not the only actress who is rumored to be dead from Little House on the Prairie. According to a post by Alison Arngrim, several other actors from the series, including Karen Grassle, Melissa Sue Anderson, and Melissa Francis were also rumored to have died.
Thankfully, all of the actors are alive and well. And will continue to remain that way.
BTW Killing off celebrities as a joke is not funny, so stop doing it.
Back in 1974, Melissa Gilbert landed the role of a lifetime. Michael Landon asked her to Laura Ingalls Wilder as a child. Wilder grew up to be an author, and her books were turned into Little House on the Prarie. It is a show that lives on in syndication and in our hearts.
You think after over 45 years, Gilbert would have visited the house of the person whom she played lived. Believe it or not, she hadn’t been there until this weekend.
“I had the pleasure of finally going to #lauraingallswilder‘s home site in Mansfield Missouri,” she wrote. “If you have a chance to go, you must! The museum itself is fantastic and very comprehensive. But for me, walking through Laura and Almanzo’s homes was so so moving. Thank you to everyone at the Laura Ingalls Wilder Historic Home and museum for allowing my husband and I such extraordinary access. #littlehouseontheprairie #halfpint #whatanexperience #roadtrip”
I am sure they were more thankful to have her there. I mean, in a way, she is more famous for playing Wilder than Wilder is for being herself.
Either way, aren’t these photos and the story behind them so awesome. I just find moments like this so interesting.

That was not a problem because she had two really big ones. It turns out, they were too big. Therefore, eating the pasta dish was like sucking on a lemon.
Her face as the sourness sunk in is hilarious. Then just as she thought it was over, it came back to bite her in the tongue. Do you think she learned her lesson? Nope, she went in for a second bite. After that and the warning from her husband, she was done.
Hopefully, she will make it again and let us know if it works better with smaller lemons.
BTW I love that her husband Busfield couldn’t stop laughing at her. When life handed him lemons, he made lemonade!

Before Melissa Gilbert had simple Christmases on Little House on the Prairie, she was part of The Dean Martin Show’s Christmas extravaganza. How precious is the 4-year-old in that 1968 Christmas special?
It has been a while since Comedy Central has Roasted someone, and they finally announced who their next Brat is going to be. Nope, they are not going to Roast Justin Bieber again, instead they are going to Roast someone who’s more than twice his age. The original Brat…Packer, Rob Lowe.
The pretty boy with the eyes said, “What a thrill to once again be following in Justin Bieber’s footsteps. I look forward to a night of hilarious jokes recycled from the James Franco Roast. I would like to express my gratitude to the members of my family who have passed away and therefore will not have to endure what promises to be a very special evening.”
As special as the evening he had with the teenage girl in Atlanta? I hope the Dais can bring up his 1988 sex tape. Not only because it is the best celebrity one out there, but because it is the best thing for them to go off on. Well that and he had not 1, not 2, but 3 shows cancelled this year.
When it comes to who will be Roasting him, I hope they get his brother Chad Lowe, his former TV brother Fred Savage, John Stamos who gets mistaken for him and his ex Melissa Gilbert to name a few. Who do you want to see up their ripping him a new one?
