John Goodman Isn’t Dead
A fake news story about the death of actor John Goodman raced around the internet today. It's hard to understand why people believed this for a second, since the story was filled with spelling mistakes and bad grammar. Here's a sample:LOS ANGELES, California (AP) - Actor John Goodman, star of such hits as Monsters Inc and Beyond the Sea, found dead today in his home. Cause of death is not known. Recently seen in the Kevin Spacey epik Beyond the Sea, Goodman was deemed in fine health by his doctor just three days ago. Cause of death is not yet known, but it is suspected natural causes. Goodman was most notably known as the blue-collar patriarch Dan Conner on the hit TV show Roseanne. Goodman also lent his vocal talents to such films as The Emperor's New Groove and Mosnters Inc, as well as being a semi-regular guest on Saturday Night Live.
Defamer debunked this pretty quickly, even managing to grab a screen shot of the original fake news story before it disappeared. I'll add this to my growing list of celebrity death hoaxes.

I love how the authors misspells 'epic' but manages 'patriarch" just fine.

John Goodman is the funniest guy ever. I never miss watching Roseanne on Oxygen. No matter how many times I watch an episode it always makes me laugh. I hope he lives a long time.

Apparently this rumour got around fast because I heard it from a resident @ the nursing home I used to work at.

Yes ! John Goodman is the funniest guy ever. I like so much his play in Roseanne but I remember also a movie with Melanie G. where his play was very interresting. Well, what Pooky said, I'm saying the same, I agreed:"No matter how many times I watch an episode it always makes me laugh. I hope he lives a long time."
So, I like him as actor, so, so much !
Please, do whatever, everything you need to do for your health and be there to play, to enjoy those who like you !

Don't know about John Goodman, but I did hear that Ken Dodd's Dad's dog's dead. Is this true ?

The rumour probably got started because a relative of mine past away on the 9th and his name is John Goodman from the St Louis area and thats where John Goodman the actor is from.
