A certain site, which we won't name because they're lame and don't deserve the attention, has been terrifying fans for years by falsely reporting the deaths of favorite celebrities. The latest victim of these death hoaxes is former Disney starlet Hilary Duff. Fans on Twitter were sent into a panic over the weekend when a site reported that Duff died by falling from the Kauri Cliffs at a luxury golf resort in New Zealand. The site has previously reported that Christian Slater and Will Smith also died on the cliffs. Apparently, they have special reincarnation powers, as Duff, Slater, and Smith are all alive and well.

YouTube sensation Rebecca Black, who's become something of a legitimate celebrity of late, is opening up about the abuse she's endured since her Friday video made her famous in March. "When I walk by they'll start singing 'Friday' in a really nasally voice," she tells ABC News. "Or, you know, they'll be like, 'Oh hey, Rebecca, guess what day it is?'" Not anymore, apparently. Black's mother pulled her from her Anaheim, CA, high school after bullying became too much this past spring. She's now home schooled. "I've had a lot of experience with not being liked and all that," she tells ABC News. "I think if I hadn't had to deal with that in the past then I totally would have handled this differently and I would have gone down in burning flames. But I've learned that you just can't let it get to you."
