Today's Evil Beet Gossip

Sarah Jessica Parker Dead?

No, despite the fact that this particular topic is currently the number one trend on both Google and Twitter, Sarah Jessica Parker is not pushing up daisies.

Where did the hoax originate?  Someone who posed as Perez Hilton yesterday thought that an awesome April Fool’s Day joke would be to announce SJP’s premature death. A day later, the hubbub surrounding the faux-report hasn’t died down a bit, even though reps for Parker state that she is, indeed, alive and well.

I’m all for April Fools’ pranks — I guess I’m infantile like that — but this is definitely crossing the line a little bit.  It’s actually sort of approaching the line, teasing that you’re going to cross it and then shitting on it and vaulting over it when everyone’s looking the other way. There’s nothing less funny about pretending that someone’s kicked. And someone like SJP … come on, completely unbelievable. The story would have had much more credibility if it involved, say, her mole coming back to life and attacking the whole of New York City.

Or something.

  • I’m so happy. For a minute there I thought I’d be thinking of her and crying every time I drive by some ugly assed mule standing out in a field eating from a hay bale.

  • I don’t really understand the comment that someone like SJP dying is “completely unbelievable.”

    • Context. Read the rest of the paragraph. “Completely unbelievable” because there is little to no media coverage. SJP is, bafflingly, ridiculously famous. If she kicked it, that noise would be on the news, not just on gossip blogs.

      • I didn’t get that from the context at all (and I did read the rest of the paragraph, thank you very much), but your explanation definitely makes sense. =)

  • I do not think this funny at all. She has family which this kind of information can hurt. Do not be should a jerk to get a laugh because O am not laughing.

  • That was really tacky considering that deadly car wreck she was involved in, in Ireland decades ago. Is anyone absolutely sure it was a poser and not the guy with an actual history of reporting false celeb deaths? Quite often?

  • I’m just pissed this site is giving that idiot lame excuse for a human being termite asswipe a shout out, even if it is to point out a lie.

    Yuck.
