If you notice, the first bit of the URL isn't the BBC's official website address. http://www.lobatt.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/ seems to be some sort of jokesite. I think. There's a big floaty head of what appears to be GWB.

...of course, this did not stop me from having the biggest heart attack in the history of Ever. I think I need a lie down.

Thank you for pointing that out! Usually I would notice that kind of thing right off the bat, but for some reason today I was oblivious. ::wipes brow:: The sad thing is just how ready I was to believe this news. Tells you something, doesn't it?

I know. I figured it wasn't the most realistic story ever, but I damn near keeled over just reading it. *gets done with her minor stroke and wanders off*

sounded damn realistic - except for the funny "you know something is wrong when gary oldman is not the biggest drug user on set" ...

That's what made me go, "Wait a second ..." Up until that point, I was hovering perilously close to a coronary episode. Sheesh.

and he loves the libertines, who are seperated coz the singer is deeply addicted to heroin.
plus, at times dan lookes like that prince, not harry, the other, so the drugs were even more believable to me.
if that makes sense.

whoa. i noticed that when i followed the link but didn't think about it. thanks for pointing it out.

also, i don't think a REAL news agency would make comments about gary oldman's drug use like that.

That one is just freaky enough that I'm going to hold off until I see it reported in a second source. Cause it doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

This isn't Hilary Duff here.

It isn't hosted on the BBC News site.

And the Entertainment page says nothing.

I was this close to hysteria and posting it in my lj until I read the comments on this post. Whew.

That almost has the feel of an April Fool's joke.... hopefully, anyway.

I freaked for a second...until I saw that they spelled "Shrek" wrong. The url should have been a clue too. How'd you find this?

But what did it say?

...that Daniel Radcliffe had OD'd on heroin and that many of the young stars of the movies were often too drugged to do their scenes.

It appears to be a joke and one in really bad taste.

Yes, very.

Boo and hiss.
