Celebrity Death Hoax, Divorce Rumors

So what is the point in spreading rumors around the web about the death of a celebrity or a marriage that is supposedly headed for divorce?  Well it makes the entertainer relevant again that's for sure.  Celebrities we haven't heard from in years are suddenly back in the limelight after a false report that someone has died or rumors that a favorite couple is headed for divorce.

I think in recent years I have heard or viewed at least 20 plus false news reports of has-been entertainers who were resurrected through death or divorce.  That is one reason why I am hesitant to be one of the first people jumping on trending news.  Rather I like to wait a bit,  traffic isn't that important to me.  I prefer to know whether a news story is reasonably accurate before mentioning something about it.  I say reasonably because most news stories don't provide nearly enough details for us to know what is really going on.

A celebrity death hoax impact on the public will make the gullible want to go back and check the artist's work, possibly make a purchase, spread a website link about a new work, or even arrange to have the person show up as a guest on a show to boost ratings. 

Celebrity divorce rumors will create new story-lines for a couple, bring them back into the spotlight, make them marketable again for future movie or music projects and more.  The naïve public goes along with the hype while the masterminds of the well-orchestrated public relations campaign collect yet another check based on rumor spreading. 

Don't believe the hype and hold on to your wallet.  There the entertainment industry goes again selling us on yet another unimportant someone or something we really don't need in our lives to entertain us.
