mtv vmas 41 No, Cher Isnt Dead

No, Cher fans?I?m assuming that some of you actually exist?don?t worry.  The ?I Got You Babe? and ?Believe? singer is still alive, despite a rumor that has spread on wildfire that the singer/actress (real name: Cherilyn Sarkisian, which actually sounds cooler than just ?Cher,? in a supervillain kind of way) had died.

Apperently, Twitter user @Lorraine_Star faked a retweet from CNN that read ?RT @CNN: American recording artist Cher dies at 65 years old. Found dead in Malibu home,? and then spread throughout Twitter like a virus, as fans and people who just like to retweet stuff about dead celebrities constantly hit ?retweet? on the news.

Even Kim Kardashian was moved to take time out from constructing false marriages to toss down to her hungry followers like shreds of beef tossed to starved and ravenous pigs to mention how distraught she was at the news:

?Did I just hear Cher has passed away? Is this real? OMG?

Yes, Kim.  OMG, indeed.  Totes OMG.

Luckily, for Kim, and I guess for Cher, the singer isn?t dead, just the victim of an odd and quite random dead celeb hoax.  Hopefully, with that settled, our brief national nightmare and end and we call all return to some kind of normalcy.  Whew.

What do you think of the Cher news?

<P>Etta James died on Friday (January 20) at the age of 73 after a lengthy battle with leukemia. The singer is being remembered by Beyoncé, who has quite the history with her. </p><div class="player-placeholder right" id="vid:727109.id:1677649" width="240" height="211"></div><p> "This is a huge loss. Etta James was one of the greatest vocalists of our time. I am so fortunate to have met such a queen," Beyonc&#233; wrote on her blog. "Her musical contributions will last a lifetime. Playing Etta James taught me so much about myself, and singing her music inspired me to be a stronger artist. When she effortlessly opened her mouth, you could hear her pain and triumph. Her deeply emotional way of delivering a song told her story with no filter. She was fearless, and had guts. She will be missed." Photos: The life and career of Etta James.</b> B famously portrayed the blond jazz singer in the 2008 biopic "Cadillac Records." Her version of "At Last" from the film's soundtrack would later win a Grammy for Best Traditional R&B Performance. Beyonc&#233;'s version of James' iconic ballad once-again made headlines when she performed the track at President Obama's inaugural ball in 2009. The performance was initially met with some criticism from the always-outspoken James, but she later came around. Beyonc&#233; is the latest in a long line of celebrities paying tribute to James. "Showing respect, appreciation and love for all the wonderful music and joy #ettajames brought to the world...#ettajamesforever," Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am wrote on Twitter. Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams recalled how James' music influenced her. "#EttaJames, I will be forever grateful for your voice and your soul. Rest in peace." Rapper Flo Rida &#8212; whose latest hit, "Good Feeling," samples James' "Something's Got a Hold on Me" &#8212; wrote, "I'm deeply saddened by the passing of the Great Etta James and I will be forever grateful for the gift she Blessed me with." <i>Share your condolences with Etta James' friends and family on our Facebook page.</i></p>

Florida Primary Voters Tune Out Negative Ads

'I think it's kind of ugly, and I don't really agree with it all,' young voter tells MTV News.

TAMPA, Florida — The one excuse Florida voters can't use is the weather. That was especially true Tuesday (January 31), a picture-perfect day for voting in the Republican primary in the always-important swing state.

With 50 delegates at stake in this winner-take-all state, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney was tipped to win after spending nearly four times as much on negative ads (with the help of some SuperPAC surrogates) than his rival Newt Gingrich.

Despite the deluge of attack ads that blanketed the airwaves over the past few weeks, anesthesiology assistant student Ricky Varlotta, 24, said he saw a lot of the commercials but tried not to let them affect his decision. "I think it's kind of ugly, and I don't really agree with it all," he said after casting his vote for Romney at the Kate Jackson Memorial Center in downtown Tampa. "If they think that's the best way they can win, it says a lot about them."

Varlotta said a number of his friends with jobs voted early to make sure their ballots got counted, but that some are also so disenchanted with the political process that they've decided to just sit it out this time. "That's their choice, and I think if you're really concerned about it, you would come out and do something about it, and that's why I'm out here voting," he shared. This is the first presidential primary campaign that has felt the impact of SuperPAC money, and from what the voters who spoke to MTV's Power of 12 could tell, so far, it was not for the good.

Though her chosen candidate, U.S. Representative Ron Paul, chose not to mount a campaign in Florida, Tessa McKenna, 21, singer for the "country shoegaze" band Sleepy Vikings, has been bowled over by all the negative Florida campaign ads she's been inundated with when watching shows on Hulu. Because they don't really educate her on the candidates, McKenna has also tuned out the din of the commercials.

"In politics, I guess you never really know who's right and who's wrong," she said. McKenna, who registered as a Republican at 16 when she got her license, felt that her personal politics don't really match those of the party anymore, but she likes to stay politically involved and feels that Libertarian-leaning Paul is the "lesser of all evils" in this election cycle.

"Kids really need to get out and make change for their country," she said.

Despite the more than $20 million spent in the primary on the spots, Amy Hightower said she's never been influenced by them, because she's more focused on the issues than the personalities.

The young mother added that it has been hard lately being a Republican because she is pro-choice and for gay marriage and social programs. Despite those leanings, she cast an absentee ballot for Gingrich because, "He's no bullsh--. He just says it how it is, and he's not afraid of his flaws. I feel like a lot of the other ones are so slick ... and the others were too far to the religious right."

MTV is on the scene in Florida! Check back for up-to-the-minute coverage of the primaries and stick with PowerOf12.org throughout the 2012 presidential election season.

'X-Factor' Bloodbath And Other Shocking TV Exits

MTV News takes a look at other shows that have suffered behind-the-scenes talent shakeups like the recent 'X-Factor' departures.

Paula Abdul, Nicole Scherzinger and Steve Jones no longer have the "X-Factor."

Hot on the heels of its freshman season, the Simon Cowell-led U.S. "X-Factor" has removed three of its core ingredients from the equation, with word breaking late Monday night about Abdul, Scherzinger and Jones' exits.. While fans watching the Fox reality singing competition's behind-the-scenes developments closely might have seen this coming — network chief Kevin Reilly promised "some tweaks to the show" during the TCA press tour earlier this year — the simultaneous ousting of all three talents is still likely to leave onlookers a little bit stunned.

For photos of other shocking television exits, click here.

Alas, that's show business. Behind-the-scenes shakeups are par for the course in Tinseltown, with small-screen endeavors constantly excising seemingly critical players in surprising, one-fell-swoop moves — and it's not just in the world of reality television where this takes place. Indeed, there have been a lot of moves and shakes in the past year for scripted series. Keep reading for some of the recent shocking TV exits that rocked popular dramas to their core, but a warning: Some spoilers lie ahead.

Christopher Meloni, "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit"
Twelve seasons of cracking down on pedophiles, rapists and other parties guilty of sexually based offenses was apparently enough for detective Elliot Stabler. The imposing New York City lawman and his notorious short fuse burned out quicker than fans had hoped for when actor Christopher Meloni, who had been with "SVU" since its 1999 beginning, opted out of further investigations late last year over irreconcilable contract disputes. Meloni's sudden departure left little to no room for resolution for Stabler, who had left season 12 on a cliff-hanger involving the justified shooting of a child. But even if Stabler's continued days on the street are over, the fan-favorite character will never die — not as long as TNT and USA keep their "SVU" marathons in rotation!

Lisa Edelstein, "House"
Team Huddy fans around the world were left nursing a broken heart over the summer when it was revealed that Lisa Edelstein would not be returning to "House." Like Meloni, Edelstein, who played series mainstay and Hugh Laurie's love interest Dr. Lisa Cuddy, left the Fox hospital drama for contractual reasons. And, like Meloni, Edelstein's exit came at a precarious moment in the show's narrative, with Cuddy's final appearance featuring a cliff-hanger involving House driving his car through her, well, house. To make things worse, the loss of Cuddy came right before what is very likely to be the show's final season, leaving little room for resolution for Huddy fans.

Sean Bean, "Game of Thrones"
Not all exits are due to creative differences or behind-the-scenes negotiations or other forms of squabbling. Sometimes it all comes down to telling a story truly and faithfully, no matter the possible outrage. Such was the case in HBO's "Game of Thrones," which saw the early demise of series lead Eddard "Ned" Stark just before the end of its first season. Ned's beheading at the hands — or command, at least — of cruel boy-king Joffrey stunned viewers new to the land of Westeros, even if it was a long time coming for fans of the George R.R. Martin novels the show is based upon. The Lord of Winterfell's gruesome, dishonorable death set the dangerous precedent that on "Game of Thrones," the old saying really is true: You either win or you die, no matter your star power.

Michael Pitt, "Boardwalk Empire"
Bean's "Thrones" demise wasn't the only shocking death to rock both the small screen and HBO in the past year. "Boardwalk Empire" writers made a bold statement in killing aspiring Atlantic City crime boss Jimmy Darmody in the second season finale, just as the character was really getting interesting. Jimmy's death was controversial for any number of reasons, not excluding reports of behind-the-scenes turmoil between actor Michael Pitt and "Boardwalk" producers. Both the show's writers and Pitt himself publicly maintain that the split was mutual, made solely for creative reasons.

Frank Darabont, "The Walking Dead"
Behind the scenes, there's been no greater scripted drama shakeup in recent memory than the unceremonious ousting of show creator Frank Darabont from "The Walking Dead." Despite Darabont delivering a critically acclaimed genre series with record-setting ratings to boot, AMC executives nonetheless made the shocking decision to cast the show-runner aside like walker bait, just days after the colorful filmmaker's Comic-Con appearance this past summer. The series continues to rake in unprecedented cable numbers with nearly each passing episode, but die-hard fans and casual viewers alike seem to agree that the show's quality has dipped noticeably without Darabont in command of the "Dead."

Everybody, "American Horror Story"
They didn't call it Murder House for nothing! "American Horror Story" fans were rightfully horrified by the FX thriller's critically acclaimed first season, which left the three lead characters dead as disco before all was said and done. But creator Ryan Murphy did not clean house without a reason: In a press conference held shortly after the season finale, Murphy and FX chief John Landgraf revealed that "AHS" was secretly planned as an anthology series, with every single season featuring entirely new story lines and actors. Bye-bye Harmon family, bye-bye Constance, bye-bye Murder House, in other words. We'll miss them dearly — yes, we'll even miss creepy Tate — but we applaud Murphy's decision to keep things fresh all the same.
