Photographer dies after taking pictures of Lady Gaga

Who knew Lady Gaga was weird enough to kill?

Lady Gaga stepped onto the red carpet on Monday night at the ACE awards sporting a widow-esque black veil, and minutes later, celebrity photographer A.J. Sokalner was dead. Sokalner was working the red carpet at the ACE Awards that the ‘Poker Face’ singer was attending in New York City when he collapsed just minutes after Gaga took to the carpet. He was pronounced dead at Bellevue Hospital shortly after, and the owner of ACE Pictures, who Sokalner worked for, says emergency workers said he had suffered a heart attack. He was only in his late 50s.

(Okay okay, it was a coincidence, but doesn’t it make you think just a little bit?)

Kanye West = Not dead

Just like every other celebrity death rumor, this one is a hoax too. Somehow the hoax of West being involved in a car accident last night spread like wildfire, mostly thanks to Twitter. As of this morning, ‘RIP Kanye West’ was the #1 trending topic on Twitter.

And, interestingly enough, most of the comments weren’t sad. Guess everyone isn’t forgetting that VMA stunt any time soon.
