Reba McEntire Is Alive And Well – Death Rumors Were 100% Fake

January 31, 2012 By 1 Comment

If you were like me, you were shocked, but highly skeptical last night when news of Reba McEntire’s death started circulating around Twitter and Facebook. Unfortunately for Reba and her followers, she was the victim of a fake death hoax for “entertainment purposes” on a website.

If you didn’t hear about it, here’s what the site published:

Actress Reba Mcentire died while filming a movie in Kitzbühel, Austria early this morning – January 30, 2012

Preliminary reports from Austrian Police officials indicate that the actress fell more than 100 feet to her death in a remote area of the Hahnenkamm mountains while on-set during the filming of a movie. Specific details are not yet available.

The accident occurred at approximately 4:30 a.m. (UTC/GMT +12).

Additional details and information will be forthcoming.

Unfortunately, most of Reba’s fans who read this, didn’t see this in the fine print at the bottom of the site that also said:

about FakeAWish.com. FAKE… THIS STORY IS 100% FAKE! this is an entertainment website, and this is a totally fake article based on zero truth and is a complete work of fiction for entertainment purposes! this story was dynamically generated using a generic ‘template’ and is not factual. Any reference to specific individuals has been 100% fabricated by web site visitors who have created fake stories by entering a name into a blank ‘non-specific’ template for the purpose of entertainment.

We’re just glad that Reba is alive and well and sorry that she and her fans had to deal with this.

Photo – Zac Brown With One Of America’s Finest In Iraq

January 22, 2012 By Leave a Comment

This photo means a lot to me. The soldier shaking Zac Brown’s hand is one of my fraternity brothers from Alabama. The photo was taken back in 2009 at Forward Operating Base (FOB) Stryker. Zac and the boys missed the CMA’s that year to tour Iraq. I can’t say enough about the men and women who risk their lives to insure you and I continue living the wonderful life we live in America. And, I applaud and thank the Zac Brown Band for meeting, greeting and entertaining our troops. Well done Zac!

P.S. Stay safe Chad. Miss ya brother!
