A Former "Baywatch" Actor Erroneously Reports the Death of "7th Heaven" Actor Stephen Collins

And here we thought those were two television shows that had lost all cultural relevance by 2002.

Actor Stephen Collins, recently accused sex predator, lives in the same neighborhood as Donna D'Errico, a former Baywatch star. When she heard gunshots and saw police activity, she rushed to tweet about word from a neighbor that Stephen Collins had shot himself. As it turns out, no such thing happened, but not before the celebrity blogosphere went nuts for a few hours.
