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.
Yesterday, there were reports that actress Tanya Roberts had passed away. However, when Inside Edition was interviewing her boyfriend, Lance O’Brien, he got a phone call that she is still alive. O’Brien didn’t know how to react to the news, but he cried happy tears that she is still with us.
Roberts has been hospitalized at Cedars Sinai Medical Center since Christmas Eve. The actress suddenly collapsed in her home after walking her two dogs and was rushed to the hospital. While she was there, she was placed on a ventilator because she has breathing problems not related to COVID-19.
Doctors thought she was on her deathbed, so they let O’Brien say goodbye to her in person. “When she saw me and I was there, I saw her eyes open up. I felt good. I said, ‘Hey, her eyes are opening. Her eyes are opening.’ They told me that’s just a reflex,” O’Brien told the magazine show. It sounds like it was something more.
Let’s pray that Roberts continues to stay alive and improve. Just like Larry King, 87, who is suffering from coronavirus. NBC News is reporting that he was moved out of the ICU yesterday. He is in the same hospital as Roberts.
Yesterday, for some reason, Tim Allen was trending on Twitter. That normally means he is dead. However, he is still alive. Therefore, we still don’t know why he was trending. Thus, the actor made his guess about what happened. He posted the above photo, and wrote, “Ok, I figured it out. Some nosey neighbor saw what I was having for lunch and ‘figured’ I was going to die.”
There you have it. The Last Man Standing is still standing. Although, after eating those hot dogs he might be sitting on the porcelain throne.
BTW If he is trying to prove to us that he is still alive, shouldn’t he post a photo holding with today’s newspaper showing us his face. You know, like that kidnapped people do in movies and on television shows?
There is a vital rumor that Dick Van Dyke passed away and his donating $59 million to Donald Trump. When the beloved actor heard about that, he took to social media to declare he is still alive.
The 92-year-old wrote, “I may be circling the drain, but I ain’t dead yet!” Then he added, “As for the 59 million dollars?!? If I had it, I would give it to anyone who could do something about the non-existence of affordable housing. So many at the end of their rope. I live in a 2 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath house and wouldn’t trade it for anything.”
And that is why we still love him after all of these decades. Well that and all of the memorable roles he has had in his wonderful career in shows like The Dick Van Dyke Show and Diagnosis Murder and movies like Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
Gordon Lightfoot played Stagecoach this weekend and he wanted to let the audience know something. That thing is, “the reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.”
The If You Could Read Mind singer might be 79, but he is still alive and playing. At least I think that is him and not a hologram.
Anyways, I hate to say this, and it defeats this post, but until Yahoo posted this video, I could have sworn he was dead. I know there were rumors that he died in 2010, but I thought it was more recently than that. Well, I guess now we can put that misconception of his death to rest. Not rest in peace, but, well I don’t know!
Now that you know Gordon Lightfoot is alive, you can see him alive and in person. He has several dates coming up for the rest of the year throughout the US and Canada. He is not letting those rumors of his demise stop him from touring. That and being 6 months away from his 80th.
Way to go. I guess you can say he is no light foot. Oh wait, you have to! You get where I was going with the bad joke! Right?
