Last night I saw a couple people around the internet talking about the death of Morgan Freeman. Then I saw one of my Facebook friends liked a paged called R.I.P Morgan Freeman.

My first thought was, “my goodness how did I not know about this and why is it not on MovieByte?” So I started looking for the story. Turns out this is a complete hoax. Mr. Freeman has been the victim of a fake death scandal as he is actually alive and well.

The Examiner reports:

Morgan Freeman is a staple in pop culture so it only makes sense that word of his death would spread quickly. That is exactly what…

With relatively little fanfare, A Christmas Story has spawned a sequel, with Ralphie this time eying a car instead or an air rifle, which has the elements of a disturbing trend of materialism by the little imp.

No, no no no no no no no no. Please tell me this is a joke, a bad dream, not happening.

This looks like a truly horrible film.

Oscar-nominated actor Michael Clarke Duncan passed away on Monday, seven weeks after suffering a heart attack, his fiancée Omarosa Manigault said in a statement to The Associated Press. He was 54.

Duncan was admitted to the hospital in mid-July after suffering a myocardial infarction, from which he never recovered; three weeks later, he was moved out of ICU but remained hospitalized.

Well, that’s a bummer. The Finder wasn’t my favorite TV show ever, but it was enjoyable and Michael’s Leo Knox was defintely a great character.

Bones exec producers Hart Hanson and Stephen Nathan — a.k.a. Team Hathan — took time away from plotting their next grisly death to chat with reporters about the show’s upcoming eighth season (premiering Monday, Sept. 17 at 8/7c).

Herewith are the 10 scoopiest highlights from the call.

Don’t click through if you don’t want spoilers for this new season of Bones. That said, they aren’t earth shattering or big, revealing spoilers, just small ones.

Also, here’s one. Again, this is a spoiler.

This season’s landmark 150th episode is a “weird episode,” said Hanson. “It’s going to be an…

Fringe‘s latest Observer-centric teaser comes with a haunting message for anyone planning to rise against the fedora’d future-dwellers: “Heed. Obey. Serve.” — else be subject to a full cerebral scan, or (gulp) worse.

Press PLAY below for a first look at the PSA of sorts from the Fox drama’s fifth and final season (bowing Sept. 28 at 9/8c), and then hit the comments with your snappy judgements!

With Fringe heading into its final season, the series’ JJ Abrams and J.H. Wyman have set up a new futuristic drama at Fox.

In a competitive situation, the network has nabbed the untitled Warner Bros. TV/Bad Robot-produced project with a pilot production commitment. It is described as an action-packed buddy cop show, set in the near future, when all LAPD officers are partnered with highly evolved human-like androids. Wyman is writing and will executive produce with Bad Robot’s Abrams and Bryan Burk. Kathy Lingg is co-exec producing.

Umm, okay… this will either be really good or really…

More from my “politics in Hollywood” series, here’s three stars speaking at the DNC.

Oscar-winner George Clooney lent his voice to President Obama’s campaign for a video introduction Thursday night to close out the Democratic National Convention, but it was a trio of leading ladies — Kerry Washington, Scarlett Johansson, and Eva Longoria — who gave the DNC a rousing jolt of star power in Charlotte, NC.

Washington, who manages political crises on ABC’s Scandal, introduced herself as “not just as an actress but as a woman, an African-American, a granddaughter of immigrants who came…

Negotiations between Apple and the media companies have reportedly stumbled over the software interface for any new television product from Apple, with cable companies wanting to have control over the software. The two sides are also at loggerheads over whether Apple would sell a new set-top box directly to consumers or if the device would be distributed by the cable companies.

Because the software coming out of the industry has been so stellar… OH WAIT! Seriously, that’s the stupidest thing I have ever heard. What would be the point of an Apple TV if these stupid companies were allowed…

I’ll leave the jokes about how Monsters, Inc 3D has a new eye-popping look to Billy Crystal and, instead, ask if you remember where your head was at in November 2001 when this Pixar classic was released. If you lived in New York City and had a young child (as I did), you were probably extremely grateful  for Monsters, Inc. because, even if your kid was too young to grasp what had happened at Ground Zero, you were not.Sitting in the cool dark of a movie theater  with my four-year-old and watching this funny film was a brief, welcome respite from the daily barrage of news reports about…
