With celebs dropping like flies…fans of Britney Spears were in a panic when her Twitter account said that she passed away!!!

No worries – Britney is ALIVE!

Someone hacked in to her Twitter account on Sunday (as well as accounts for Diddy, Ellen DeGeneres, Harrison Ford and Jeff Goldblum) and posted messages that they were dead and that details would follow.

They message on Britney’s account was immediately removed and fans were assured she was, “Fine and dandy and spending a quiet day at home relaxing.” 

No word if there are any leads on the evil hacker. Tons of so-called “news outlets” are coming out with all kinds of hoo-ha to get press (ex- Michael Jackson’s fake autopsy results, his will, etc) so make sure you have official info before you start mourning!

Today the world lost an icon in the music industry ~ Michael Jackson died this afternoon.

A 911 call was made from the Los Angeles mansion Michael was renting around Noon today. Paramedics arrived to find Michael in cardiac arrest without a pulse. Upon taking him to the hospital and working on him for close to 45 minutes doctors were never able to revive him and he was pronounced dead at 2:26pm.

An autopsy will be performed on him tomorrow morning. Several sources say that Michael had been in bad health the last few months. One source even said that today specifically he was “in really bad shape,” and was given a shot of Demerol (pain killer similar to Morphine) about an hour before he stopped breathing.

Michael was set to do 20 shows in London starting in July (to help pay back his millions of dollars in debt) Critics who saw him rehearsing in L.A. say he finally had gotten it right, and predicted the ‘comeback’ he’d been trying to make happen for decades.

Despite the personal scandal he’s encountered – Michael was undoubtably one of the greatest pop stars of our generation and is responsible for influencing just about ever star we play on B96 and beyond. He’s had 13 grammys, 13 #1 hits, and holds the record for the best selling album of all time with, “Thriller,” selling over 50 million copies worldwide.

Michael’s family is asking that the press respect their privacy at this time. Michael has 3 children: Michael Jr., Paris and Prince.

While lots of musicians try to play like their ballers…according to ‘Forbes’ magazine…these people really are! 

Madonna comes out on top with over $110 million dollars!!! (Includes endorsement deals…ah hem Louis Vuitton)…but check who they ACTUALLY put on the cover: 

Beyonce! What does Madonna have to say about this?! GIRLFIGHT??? Beyonce actually is #3 on the list with $87 million.

The remainder of the top 5 are Celine Dion (#2 w/$100 million),  Bruce Springstein (#4 w/$70 million) and Kenny Chesney (#5 w/$65 million).

If you were wondering where Beyonce’s other half landed on the list…he’s waaaaaay down at #32!
