R.I.P. Drew Barrymore rumor?

I got TheSpark.com’s newsletter this morning with the note at the top:

What the heck? I could find any news reference to her being anything other than alive and/or kicking. Is it a reference to bizarre Canadian comedian, Tom Green’s (A.K.A. Obi One-Cajone) claim that they’re engaged.

Jesus, I certainly hope that’s not true, I like Drew! A lot of potential as an actress, and generally a sweet (if dippy) person. That would really depress the hell out of me. Nothing yet on the AP Newswire.

I want to write a bio of her great-gradnmother, Georgiana Drew Barrymore, someday, and hope Drew will help me on it.

I’ll keep checking and let you know if I hear anything! We had two major show-biz deaths recently: Walter Matthau and Harold Nicholas. Hope Drew’s not #3!!!

I checked AP, BBC and 1010 WINS. Nothing. Hope it’s just an Urban legend!

I’ve had Sky News channel on in the background for large bits of today. No mention there. Maybe it’s just a joke?

Of course it’s a joke. This is TheSpark we’re talking about…

That wouldn’t be out of line from what I have read here about thespark. Wasn’t there talk that people who did the surveys there were later contacted thru email about their answers?

“Of course it’s a joke. This is TheSpark we’re talking about…”

–So what is TheSpark? Never heard of them, but they seem to be a band of idiots.
