It’s been over a month since we’ve seen a real “celebrity” death, so it’s about time we start inventing one. Enter Wikipedia, former home of extinct elephants, announcing that Jingle All the Way mega-star Sinbad kicked the bucket after suffering a heart attack. Luckily, the AP was able to track him down in heaven Los Angeles, where he managed to confirm that he is not, in fact, dead, but, now that you mention it, he would very much like to be reincarnated as a working actor.

“Saturday I rose from the dead and then died again,” said the 50-year-old actor, who was first alerted to the news of his death when his daughter called to ask if he was okay and not dead. He laughed about the mix-up. “It’s gonna be more commonplace as the Internet opens up more and more. It’s not that strange,” he said, adding that the folks spreading rumors of his death “may have confused me with my career.” I made that last part up, but I really wish he’d said it.
