Madonna is not dead. Yet Madonna fake death reports are swirling since Sunday. Madonna did not die, nor did Kanye West who was the previous notable victim to false celebrity death reports.

What makes Madonna fake dead report interesting is two factors. First there is acutally a book out entitled “Madonna Dead”, a 2007 page turner in the Loon Lane Mysteries. Second, the Madonna appears to have hit as the same time that virtually all fake celebrity death reports surface.

For LALATE readers, you know the analysis by now. Since Spring 2009, virtually all major false celebrity dead reports surface online at roughly 3 pm PST on Sunday. How fast they spread after that just depends. The logical reasoning why they surface then is the likely absence of significant media around on a Sunday night to shoot the reports down as wrong. By Monday morning, the stories remain.

Madonna’s false death report also returns to the most common victim – music celebrities. Most these stories have to do with music celebrities. And if you are wondering, yes, it’s pop and rap music stars that the false reports are limited to. You don’t see these stories striking opera singers or classical musicians.

Madonna is alive. Miley Cyrus is doing great. And Lil Wayne is perfectly fine.
