Is James Earl Jones Dead?

Rumors are circulating on the internet that acting legend James Earl Jones has died. His death was reportedly announced on radio station Hot 107.9 in Atlanta, but nothing on their website would seem to substantiate the rumor.

The only news regarding Jones in the last few days has been much more upbeat: he has been selected by the Screen Actors Guild as the latest recipient of its Life Achievement Award for his thespian and humanitarian accomplishments.

This isn't the first time there's been a rumor circulating about Jones' demise: in 1998 Pittsburgh Pirates announcer Lanny Frattare mistakenly told listeners that James Earl Jones had passed away when, in fact, it was Martin Luther King Jr. assassin James Earl Ray who had died.

Must be unsettling for Jones' family and loved ones, especially wife Cecilia and son Flynn.

No official statement has come from Jones indicating that he's still alive, but I imagine when it does it will be in a deep, booming voice and sound like Darth Vadar.

According to E-Poll Market Research, after conducting a nationwide survery among 1,107 kids, ranging in age from 2-17, wanted to know who they thought would make Santa's list of "naughty" or "nice."

Kids, in their own words said:

Topping Santa's "Nice List:" Hannah Montana was overwhelmingly thought of as the "nicest" celeb among kids between the ages of 2-12. Teenagers between 13-17, thought actress and star of Beowulf, Angelina Jolie was the "nicest" celebrity in 2007.

Oh and guess who topped the "naughty" list? Britney Spears. Now that's a surprise. Both younger and older children ranked her top, followed by Paris Hilton. And, just to put icing on the cake, Britney and Paris beat out Swiper the Fox from Dora the Explorer! They also beat out the Grinch and Darth Vader. The force certainly isn't with Spears and Hilton now is it? Lindsay Lohan and Beyonce also made the "naughty" list (but Britney and Paris beat them too, ha).

Hannah Montana (played by Miley Cyrus) is top for "Barbie" dolls that kids want for the holiday season.

Actress Joely Fisher, of Ellen fame and other television series and movies, and her young daughter, survived a horrific car crash. Fisher and her daughter, True, were hit head-on by a 91 year old man who fell asleep at the wheel. Sorry, no offense to the elderly but when you're 91 years old, you have no business driving! The 40 year old is certainly counting her blessings.

Fisher said, "It was a head-on collision with someone who ran a light and it was a mess. I had my daughter in the car with me and we both sat on the sidewalk sobbing. But I feel so blessed that both of us and the driver of the other vehicle were unharmed. It was a miracle, and I'm just so grateful to be here."

Joely is married to cinemotographer, Christopher Duddy and they have two girls, Skylar Grace, 6, and True Harlow, almost 2 years old. Fisher currently stars on the sitcom, 'Til Death.
