I hope that's a mistake. Just checked the entry and there's no mention of her passing. Glad that was corrected. | |

yeah, looks like someone changed it back. right after her name was her birth date and a death date (October 4, 2009). | |

Maya Angelou hospitalized? Not so fast, TMZ BY MARK W. SMITH FREE PRESS WEB EDITOR Contrary to a Saturday night TMZ.com report, literary giant Maya Angelou was not hospitalized while in Los Angeles, CNN reported this morning. CNN news editor Saeed Ahmed shared this on Twitter earlier today: "Contrary to TMZ report, Maya Angelou is fine, at home, & wasn't even in LA Sat nite, said her literary agent Helen Brann." TMZ has gained a reputation for scooping traditional news outlets with news of celebrity ailments, famously reporting Michael Jackson's death long before other outlets. TMZ's Saturday night report -- branded as an exclusive -- was brief, saying that the story was developing. | |

No such thing as responsible news or journalism anymore. This shit had already spread across Twitter to thousands of people by the time this thread was started on the org. I do not trust TMZ as far as I can throw them. They're a gossip site that will jump on any tidbit of information without confirming their sources. They might as well just start going into theaters and yelling "Fire" every time they smell burned popcorn  | |

Here's a headline for TMZ:
"TMZ tries to euthanize Maya Angelou! (And we'd have done it too if weren't for those meddling facts!)" Bastards. [Edited 10/4/09 12:22pm] | |

Doctor Angelou asked me to pass this message onto you all..
You may read Stuff in the papers Or on the 'net If you're in the loop And sometimes Through god-damned laziness There's no check on the facts In the rush for a scoop So tweet my condition Like a bird Scrabbling for crumbs Amongst the gravel Because I'll be inspired To write more shit poetry And get paid top dollar For my babble  | |

Please God, take care of Maya and heal her. I've lost the use of my heart, But I'm still alive, Still looking for the life, The endless pool on the other side, It's a wild wild west, I'm doing my best, I'm a soldier of love, Every day and night, I'm soldier of love, All the days of my life. | |
