| No, President Trump Wasn't 'Pronounced Dead' - Snopes.com Posted: 29 Jun 2020 05:12 PM PDT In late June 2020, social media users shared an apparent celebrity death hoax targeting U.S. President Donald Trump. The post originated on the mobile video app TikTok and features a fake New York Times article claiming that Trump died of a drug overdose on June 27, 2020. The following screenshot from that post also circulated on other social media platforms:
Trump is not dead, and The New York Times did not report that he was. For starters, if the president of the United States had died it would be a major news event. Notably, there are no credible news outlets reporting it. Trump is also more personally active on social media than any of his predecessors and, as of this writing, Trump is still posting to his Twitter account. Furthermore, Paul Krugman, whose byline is on the fake article, is an economist, and though he pens regular opinion columns for The New York Times, he isn't a breaking news reporter. It is highly unlikely Krugman would be assigned this sort of breaking news story. Celebrity death hoaxes are frequent fixtures online. Other targets have included actor Chuck Norris, WWE wrestler Big Show, and singer Demi Lovato.  |
| Carl Reiner dead: Ocean's Eleven and Toy Story 4 star dies aged 98 - Mirror Online Posted: 30 Jun 2020 07:21 AM PDT Carl Reiner has died at the age of 98. According to TMZ the entertainer - whose showbiz career spanned seven decades - died on Monday night at his Beverley Hills home surrounded by family. Reiner was best known as the creator, producer, writer and actor on The Dick Van Dyke Show in the 1960s. He cast then unknown actress Mary Tyler Moore to play Dick's wife and made huge stars of them both. He later formed a comedy duo with Mel Brooks in 2000 Year Old Man where he honed his talent for writing and moved into films. Reiner co-wrote and directed some of Steve Martin's most successful comedies including Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid, The Man with Two Brains and All of Me.   He also appeared in many silver screen hits himself including the popular Ocean's film franchise as Saul Bloom. Over his career, Reiner was awarded some of the industries top honours including nine Emmy Awards, a Grammy Award and The Mark Twain Prize. One of his last roles was providing the voice of Carl Reineroceros in Toy Story 4.   Reiner also made numerous appearances in TV shows including Two and a Half Men, Hot in Cleveland and House. After Reiner was inducted to the Television Academy Hall of Fame, former comedy partner Mel Brooks said: "I can't tell you enough about Carl. He's a loving, giving guy, to the point of insanity. If he had hair, I'd marry him." He leaves behind three children - one of whom is Rob Reiner who followed his dad into acting.   His other children are author Annie Reiner and artist Lucas Reiner. Carl's wife and the mother of his children Estelle Lebost, who he married in 1943, died in 2008. Estelle is another reconisable face on screen - most famously her one liner from When Harry Met Sally "I'll have what she's having" in the deli scene. Carl's death comes days after talent manager George Shapiro tweeted a photo of Carl and his daughter with Mel Brooks wearing Black Lives Matter t-shirts. Carl was renowned as one of the oldest celebrities on social media and continued to keep up with his Twitter account even at 98. Earlier this month he penned: "Nothing pleases me more than knowing that I have lived the best life possible by having met & marrying the gifted Estelle (Stella) Lebost---who partnered with me in bringing Rob, Annie & Lucas Reiner into to this needy & evolving world."  |
