Johnny Depp is (contrary to Internet reports) not dead

Johnny Depp is alive and well, as you would suspect. Internet rumors killed him off but the Associated Press sets everyone straight:

LOS ANGELES (AP) - A publicist says Johnny Depp is still very much alive after being the subject of an online hoax.

Robin Baum, who represents the 46-year-old actor, said Monday that Internet reports of Depp's death over the weekend in France were a horrible rumor.

Baum calls the hoax the work of an irresponsible and unconscionable person, especially since children and families are involved.

Depp has two children with his partner, Vanessa Paradis.
