After the tragic passing of Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett yesterday, some pranksters thought it would be a good idea to see who else the internet would believe was dead, and for some reason they picked Jeff Goldblum.

Various websites cited an erroneous report coming out of New Zealand that the 56-year-old actor had plunged to his death in a fall on the set of his next movie.

"Reports that Jeff Goldblum has passed away are completely untrue. He is fine and in Los Angeles," publicist Lisa Kasteler said.

New Zealand police are saying that there appears to be false information circulating. In fact, they haven't even heard anything about Goldblum shooting a film in their country. (Source)

It must have been quite a day for Jeff Goldblum yesterday. Not only did he have to hear rumors about him being dead but on top of that, rumors that he was starring in a movie. That second part was just mean.
