Napoleon Dynamite Star Not Dead
The latest celebrity death rumor going around is that Jon Heder, star of Napoleon Dynamite, died in a car accident while driving with a friend to Salem, Oregon. A website making this claim is here. People have also been speculating about this rumor on the IMDB message boards (Thanks to Ana for the link). Jon Heder, of course, is not dead (unless that person who looks like him and has been making media appearances is just an imposter). Michael Heaton, of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, noted in a recent column that he had heard the 'Heder is Dead' rumor from his daughter. Which prompted him to comment that "It is the zenith of cultural obsession to have false rumors of someone's death spread like goose grease across the land."Posted By: Alex | Date: Fri Feb 18, 2005 | Permalink |

He could have had an accident sharpening his bowstaff skillz, nunchuck skillz, or met face to face with a Liger, and lost.

I've actually heard of this one. Some teenagers at a local American Eagle were talking about it...one of the employees is my li'l sister's best friend. She called my sister and told her about it. Then my sister said..."I'm sorry, are you, like, the stupidest person, like, ever??" I knew it. My sister is not a total idiot. (The first thing my sister did when she got off the phone with her friend was to tell me. Then I told here to check online. She found here. She called her friend back and said, "Like, tell your co-workers that they're totally wrong.")

My friends told me last night that Napoleon had died in a car accident on friday. I guess it was on MTV news or something. They said that he burned alive. I don't know if I believe this. We need some truth to this rumor!

Ninja Pirate, you guys are frigen idiots.

First, if the star of one of the most popular movies of the year died, it would be on CNN.com and all the news sites and channels. It's not. Second, the only site that has confirmed his death is called ninjapirate.com, which after perusing his pages, doesn't look like a news site. Looks like a great plan to drum up site hits. Next expect to hear how the studio will secretly find a exact replica to cover up his death, you know, just like they did in the WWF when the Ultimate Warrior died?
(that was an urban legend too!)
