The web is currently abuzz with false rumors circulating that Natalie Portman died this morning after falling off a cliff in New Zealand. This rumor came from the same news organization that claimed Jeff Goldblum died Thursday night following Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett’s deaths. The new source is Global Associated News, which at first glance looks like a legitimate international news outlet, but it’s really more like the National Enquirer.

Although there has been a recent surge in celebrity related deaths (i.e. Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson and Billy Mays) I can assure you Natalie Portman is very much alive. She was spotted a few nights ago in Los Angeles avoided paparazzi, while carrying on life as usual.

Sometimes I wonder if celebrities want to fake their deaths in order to get out of the spotlight. I can’t think of anyone who’s done that, but I’m sure it crossed a couple people’s minds. The paparazzi can take such a toll on these celebrities, but then again if they do fake their death, they’ll have more paparazzi in their face then ever before.
