    What is up with these people putting out reports of dead celebrities. Apparently there is a rumor going around that Owen Wilson has died in a Ski accident.

    http://www.hedgeaccording.ly/2010/12/actor-owen-wilson-dies-in-ski-accident

    Then People magazine just came out via Twitter saying how he is not dead and part of a Hoax.

    What do they get out of it, i guess a ton of buzz on their sites.

    There is actually a stock exchange for movies. I read in the past that releasing death rumors brings down the stock of the movie that star is in. Thus manipulating the stock lower so that the people releasing the rumors can buy up stock in that movie at a lower price. Then when the truth is found out the price of the stock returns to the previous price.

    Planned, but not actually in operation yet. Being debated in congress and argued against by the studios.

    Owen Wilson is one of the greatest actors of our generation and a national treasure. Not since Robert Deniro have we seen an actor able to play such an assortment of varying roles from movie to movie.

    From Wedding Crashers, where he played an aloof, blonde, "himbo" to You Me and Dupree, where he played an aloof, blonde, "himbo" to Marley and Me, where he played an aloof, blonde, "himbo", to Drillbit Taylor, where he played.....you get the picture.
