32-Year-Old Macaulay Culkin is having a bad day on twitter today…

Users all around the world on Sunday were trying to spread the rumor that the “Home Alone” actor had died from a heroin overdose.

The rumors of Culkin's death were just a hoax and just the latest celebrity to be killed off by Twitter.

Culkin has admitted to reporters that in the past he had struggled with drug and alcohol addiction but insists that today he is clean and sober – with the exception of a bad Red Bull habit.

Yes, at one point a few months back the actor was looking gaunt and unhealthy, but now he seems to have bounced back and actively participating in the New York art scene.

In fact, just last week the actor opened up his apartment and personal life to the press to describe his latest art project - promoting his new art exhibition called "Leisure Inferno" which runs from September 13th to December 15th at New York's Le Poisson Rouge gallery.

Macaulay Culkin and his two partners released a video describing their new art adventure and Culkin seemed more than lucid and quite healthy and in good spirits in the video.

Culkin once quipped that he had made enough money by the time he was 12-years-old to never have to work again.

With that kind of money and the amount of time Macaulay has on his hands now that he has backed away from the movie industry seems to have cultivated in a love for abstract and bizarre art.

Way to go Mac – we hope the exhibit is a success!

Justin Bieber Death Threats – “Stay Out of Peru or Else!”

Some days it just doesn’t pay to be a mega millionaire rock star.

Teen pop sensation Justin Bieber has barley left Mexico on his way to Brazil as part of his South American concert tour and he is already getting death threats about performing in Peru.

Bieber has been warned by a Facebook fan site (that we will not name here) that when he comes to Peru, someone will jump on stage and push him off into a frenzied front row crowd armed with eggs and glass bottles who will kill him.

Hmmm.

Usually when you plan to murder someone you don’t broadcast to the World exactly how you are going to do it, or when or where, but hey – we’ve never been to Peru and are not familiar with their local murdering customs.

We don’t really see it as a possibility and suspect Bieber is taking this all in stride.

By Monday afternoon the fight had moved to twitter as well as Facebook, with twitter fans begging Bieber to stay safe.

Trending the hashtag "#BiebsStayOutOfPeru" one follower begged,

"We don't want you to get killed. You mean everything to us. Please, it's for your own safety!"

Bieber is not a newbie when it comes to these sorts of things either.

He has been the subject of many death threats, and death hoaxes over the years. Who can forget the screaming headline last year of “Justin Bieber is Dead”.

His girlfriend Selena Gomez and other past girlfriends have also been the target of death threats.

Yawn…..

The closet anybody has ever came to ruffing up the pop sensation was in Australia last year when a teenage boy climbed in through the arena roof and threw eggs at the singer while on stage.

Of course the teen was quickly arrested and now must suffer them shame of the World for being known as the kid who threw eggs at Justin Bieber.

Anyway, we suspect this threat will quickly fade and the show in Peru will go over just fine.

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith Separate! – Heading For Divorce – Say it Ain’t So!

Here is another post we will have to file under “Didn’t see that coming…”

Undisputed Hollywood power broker Will Smith and his wife of 13 years Jada Pinkest Smith have reportedly announced they are separating.

They key word to focus on is “reportedly” as it sees there is little official word from the power couple.

The couple has two adorable, and famous, children Jaden Smith and Willow Smith.

Jaden is pals with Justin Bieber and appeared last year in the movie Karate Kid and in Bieber’s “Never Say Never” music video.

His sister, Willow, also appeared at several Bieber concerts promoting her hit single “Whip Your Hair Back and Forth.”

TMZ reported the story giving credit to In Touch Magazine, but it seems that nobody has been able to “independently” confirm any of this.

This could just be the next internet rumor or Hollywood hoax machine at work – so take it in with a grain of salt.

Will, a powerhouse actor and deal maker, got his start on the TV series “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” before appearing in some of the biggest movie block buster’s known to man.

A few of his biggies include Independence Day, Men in Black, Wild Wild West, The Legend of Bagger Vance, Ali, Bad Boys II, I, Robot, Hitch, The Pursuit of Happyness, I am Legend, Hancock, and Seven Pounds.

Smith is currently filming “Men in Black III” due in theaters in May of 2012 and starring Will, Tommy Lee Jones and Josh Brolin.

Jada Pinkett Smith got her start as Lena James in the TV series “A Different World” then went on to star on the big screen in hits like The Nutty Professor , Scream 2, The Matrix Reloaded , Madagascar, and Reign Over Me.

She is currently working on “Madagascar II” lending her voice to the character of Gloria, and is appearing as Christina Hawthorne on the hit television series “Hawthorne”.

It was reported earlier this month that Will and Jada just purchased a new 25,000 square foot mansion in Calabasas California and was quoted by Architectural Digest as saying,

“We wanted the house to have no dead ends…to create an infinite cycle that represented what Jada and I hoped for our love. For us this home was always a spiritual endeavor…we’re very earthy, organic people. We wanted to create a family retreat, something made by hand and as natural as possible, and something that ties back to the land."

These words seem genuine and don’t sound like the words of a couple getting ready to divorce.

Bottom Line:

We suspect this whole separation and divorce news is just another grand hoax and rumor mongering.

If we’re wrong – we’ll eat crow.

But for now we’re calling foul and saying it just isn’t true.

** UPDATE **

Will's son from a previous marriage, Trey, has taken to his twitter page saying his dad is not getting a divorce saying,

"Will and Jada getting a DIVORCE ..NOT TRUE AT ALL !! RETWEET."

** UPDATE #2 **

Will and Jada have just released a statement saying,

"Although we are reluctant to respond to these types of press reports, the rumors circulating about our relationship are completely false. We are still together, and our marriage is intact."

We didn't think it was true, and it is looking more like a hoax by the hour.

FOX News Twitter Hacked – Announces Death of President Obama - Photo

Boy, when people say FOX News has made enemies they’re not kidding.

In what seems to be a pretty serious hack Monday morning of the news organizations twitter account @foxnewspolitics, hackers tweeted that President Barack Obama had been shot twice and killed.

The original FOX logo was altered and the text "H4CK3D BY TH3 5CR1PT K1DD3S" added.

The photo below shows the progression of the hoax, first saying the President had been assassinated by two gunshot wounds to the pelvic and neck area and bled out, and later congratulating Vice President Joe Biden in his new role as Commander in Chief.

The hackers said that Obama had been shot at Ross Restaurant in Iowa while on a campaign function, and later tweeted condolences to the country for the assassination that occurred on the fourth of July Holiday.

FOX later responded with a news release indicating they were aware of the problem saying,

“Fox News Twitter feed for political news was hacked early Monday morning.

Hackers sent out several malicious and false tweets claiming that President Obama had been assassinated. Those reports are incorrect, of course, and the president is spending the July 4 holiday with his family.

The hacking is being investigated, and FoxNews.com regrets any distress the false tweets may have created.”

We can only imagine the initial panic people felt after seeing the original comments and there was, indeed, quite a stir when this news broke.

Note to hackers:

Next time, please try to hack into Sarah Palins account – she needs to be knocked down a couple pegs.

American Idol James Durbin Arrested? NO – It’s a Hoax

Okay American Idol Fans. No need to get excited.

Everybody calm down. Take a deep breath.

The current rumor mill of the day has suggested that American Idol contestant James Durbin has been - or was arrested.

NOT TRUE. It is a hoax.

This is similar to the rumors that had Justin Bieber being a 50 year old man, and Lady Gaga as a hermaphrodite, and Lindsay Lohan dying in a car crash.

It just aint true folks.

However, since we’re talking about American Idol contestants, perhaps everybody has James confused with this season's Jacob Lusk.

It is TRUE that American Idol contestant Jacob Lusk was arrested in L.A. before the season started taping and InfoStar even has the mug shot!

So there, everybody can relax because the arrest of James is nothing but a rumor.
