Taylor Swift appears to be today’s Twitter death hoax victim.

The singer is just the latest celebrity to be “killed” by a prank in which Twitter users get “RIP [Celebrity Name]” to trend.

It is 100% false.

Swift is alive and well.

Drake was victimized by similar tactics on Friday night.

Earlier this week, it was Soulja Boy’s turn.

Meanwhile, a totally fabricated rumor about Eddie Murphy “dying” in an accident was revived by rapper Joe Budden on Friday when he tweeted, “RIP Eddie Murphy.”

That, too, led to a frenzy of panic and speculation on Twitter.

Hopefully, this tiresome and unfunny trend is on the downward slope.

“Taylor Swift & Zac Efron’s Relationship To Be Revealed Soon,” reads a headline on HollywoodLife.

The webloid goes on to explain, “Since going out for a romantic dinner, we’ve been wondering if Zaylor is a new item. Ellen DeGeneres will get to the bottom of it Feb. 21 on her TV show when they are both there!”

HollywoodLife then adds, “We all know Ellen DeGeneres is amazing at disarming people with her charm, so we have hope she’ll get to the bottom of Taylor, 22, and 24-year-old Zac’s relationship status.”

Wait a second.

Gossip Cop already got “to the bottom” of the stars’ “relationship status” last week, when HollywoodLife first tried peddling baseless claims that The Lorax co-stars are more than just friends.

It was wrong then, it’s wrong now and it’ll still be wrong when the pair appear on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” next month.

Gossip Cop looks forward to seeing HollywoodLife backtrack when its big “reveal” never materializes.

Perez “Scoop” Hilton strikes again!

The facts-challenged blogger breathlessly posted a story about Jennifer Aniston giving Taylor Swift “love advice” at last week’s People’s Choice Awards.

Perez says Aniston told Swift to “hang in there” and that “everything is gonna be okay.”

“They’ve reportedly never met before, but the source says Jen just had to tell her since she knows about it from experience,” explains the blogger.

He adds, “Hmm… inneresting… we’re not sure if we buy this or not…”

Ha!

Perez isn’t sure if he “buys” this story?

Well, here’s a good reason not to “buy” anything Perez is selling – he just cut and pasted a story from last year.

The whole Aniston/Swift conversation supposedly happened at the 2011 People’s Choice Awards.

NOT last week’s.

If Perez paid any attention to actual news, he’d know that Aniston and Swift did not even attend this year’s awards.

Of course, when a site’s primary strategy is to cut and paste stories without bothering to read them first, it’s no surprise that silly details like THE YEAR will fall through the cracks.

“Does Taylor Swift have a new man in her life to write a song about?” begins a piece from HollywoodLife, which reports that the singer had a “romantic date” with Zac Efron on January 6.

A so-called “insider” at L.A. restaurant Pace observes, “They were deep in conversation and very giggly,” adding, “They seemed very friendly.”

“Could it be love?” asks the clueless blog, which quotes another source as saying Swift “even drove to the dinner date together in an Audi that belongs to Zac.”

Wait — she was in his car?! How scandalous!

Anyway, the  site goes on to report, “Taylor thinks Zac’s cute,” and notes that three years ago, Efron referred to Swift as a “lovely girl.”

Oh, please.

There was absolutely NOTHING “romantic” about Swift and Efron’s dinner outing.

The pair was doing press for their upcoming movie, The Lorax, and decided to grab a bite to eat afterwards as friends.

HollywoodLife never fails to make a mountain of a molehill when it comes to new celebrity “romances.”

Which ex-boyfriend is Taylor Swift going to write a song about next?

The singer covers Vogue’s February issue, and tells the mag her next album will be about an “earth-shattering… absolute crash-and-burn heartbreak.”

While Swift doesn’t reveal the name of the heartbreaker, she does give a few clues, saying the romance was “not recent,” and alludes to the fact that she was very upset last Christmas, which was around the same time that Jake Gyllenhaal ended their relationship.

Asked if she’s currently dating anyone, the songstress divulges, “I got nothing going on! I just don’t really feel like dating. I really have this great life right now, and I’m not sad and I’m not crying this Christmas, so I am really stoked about that.”

When the interviewer questions her, “Were you crying last Christmas?” Swift responds, “I am not gonna go into it! It’s a sad story!”

The “Love Story” singer, whose exes include Taylor Lautner, Joe Jonas, and (allegedly) John Mayer, tells the mag she’s learned a few things about love along the way.

Some of the “red flags” she’s come to recognize as deal-breakers are if a guy is “obsessed with privacy,” falls in love with her based on her Wikipedia page, is threatened by her or “if they make me feel like I am some sort of princessy diva.”

The mag hits newsstands January 24.

LISTEN:

Taylor Swift is so “lonely” and “desperate to find a romance that lasts,” she’s taken to starving herself, reports Life & Style.

The mag says the country singer “has lost a whopping 20 pounds in recent months,” and quotes a nutritional therapist — who has never treated Swift and only seen photos of the star — as saying, “Her waistline has gotten smaller, her breasts have shrunk… it’s clear she’s not eating enough.”

Life & Style goes on to claim that Swift’s supposedly drastic weight loss is the result of “a series of failed romances — and the fear that she’ll end up alone.”

Swift “had her heart broken by Joe Jonas, John Mayer and Jake Gyllenhaal,” says the tab, which speculates that she believes “starving herself will help her win a man.”

The tabloid then consults a “relationship expert,” who explains, “When women are hurt over and over, they tend not to eat… Sometimes they think their body is to blame for the break ups.”

And a so-called “music source” adds, “I never see her eat. People are wondering whether she’s headed for a breakdown.”

Well Gossip Cop is wondering how this ridiculous story made it to print.

For starters, Swift is NOT scary skinny — she looks the same as she always has, give or take a few pounds.

And she is only 22 years old, so we’re pretty confident she’s not stressing about “winding up alone” in life.

In any case, a source extremely close to Swift tells us there’s absolutely “no truth” to the mag’s weight loss and loneliness claims.

As usual, Life & Style is just starving for drama.

Taylor Swift is the latest star to have a cosmetics ad pulled.

But it has nothing to do with anything the 22-year-old singer did.

The singer’s CoverGirl print spot for NatureLuxe Mousse Mascara is among a group of advertisements that Procter & Gamble (P&G) has discontinued after the National Advertising Division (NAD) watchdog group cited them for excessive Photoshopping.

RELATED – Julia Roberts Ad Pulled for Excessive Airbrushing

At the heart of the matter are allegations that post-production enhancement – not the beauty product itself – created Swift’s appearance in the ads.

The NAD, which serves as the advertising industry’s self-regulatory forum, asked P&G to substantiate “superior performance claims” about the mascara, including boasts that it creates “2X more volume” and is “20% lighter” than competing brands.

After receiving the inquiry, the company agreed to pull the ads.

According to the NAD, it is “well-established that product demonstrations in advertisements must be truthful and accurate and cannot be enhanced.”

What do you think?

Should ads Photoshopped to achieve a certain effect be pulled?

“EXCLUSIVE! Has Taylor Swift Found A New Beau???” reads the headline of a piece from Perez Hilton.

According to the blogger, Swift spent Thanksgiving in Nashville, where “she spent time with some ‘friends,’ including Will Anderson from Parachute.

Perez goes on to say he hears “exclusively that Taylor and Will are MORE than just friends!!!!” and adds, that “whenever T-Swizz is in Nashville, she spends ‘at least 3-4 times a week’ at Will’s house.”

What’s more, claims Perez, is that he’s “been informed that the two made snowglobes together! How romantic!”

Not enough?

Perez even says that at some unknown concert, Anderson told the crowd he wrote the song, “White Dress” for a “good friend” who’s a singer.

But before you call a caterer and book a chapel, Gossip Cop looked into this report, and while it’s true Swift and Anderson hang out, they are not dating.

HollywoodLife is obsessed with spreading the idea that Taylor Swift habitually slams Miley Cyrus for being a poor role model.

First, there was Swift’s “60 Minutes” interview in which she talks about being “conscious” of her responsibility as a public figure to whom many young women look.

HollywoodLife saw that as a direct diss of Cyrus, who gave an interview two years ago in which she said, “My job isn’t to tell your kids how to act or how not to act because I’m still figuring that out for myself.”

It was a lame webloid attempt to make Swift’s perfectly reasonable comments seem like a calculated slam of Cyrus’ equally reasonable comments.

Now the site is going down that path again, citing Swift’s interview with Katie Couric on Friday as evidence of a “new dig” at Cyrus.

During her chat at the Billboard Women of the Year Awards, Swift mentioned that she “doesn’t feel like getting any tattoos” and has no “burning desire to be drunk right now.”

HollywoodLife interprets Swift’s remarks as an attack on Cyrus, “who appears to embrace her naughty side,” citing, for example, the recent birthday video in which Cyrus jokes about being a “stoner.”

It’s true that Swift and Cyrus have slightly different public personas and views about fame.

But to speculate that Swift is directly ripping Cyrus anytime she happens to bring up the responsibilities of stardom is absolutely ridiculous.

It obviously makes for good headlines to fan the flames of a faux feud, but HollywoodLife is just propping up its earlier story with more empty sensationalism.

Neither Swift nor Cyrus is particularly shy about sharing her feelings in public.

If either one wanted to “diss” the other, HollywoodLife wouldn’t be the only one to notice.

The two superstars duetted on Gomez’s “Who Says.”

But that was not all.

Swift concluded her sold-out show with a performance with legendary singer/songwriter James Taylor, who Swift told the audience she was sort of named after.

The two played guitar and sang to the elder Taylor’s mega-hit “Fire and Rain” and then performed Swift’s “Fifteen.”

Once again, HollywoodLife tries to start a feud and just embarrasses itself.

The site, which would rather create controversy than cover actual news, wants to inflame some kind of Taylor Swift-Miley Cyrus war, and uses a clip of Swift’s appearance on “60 Minutes” to do so.

And… it’s absolutely ridiculous.

In the footage, Swift talks about being a role model, and how she’s “conscious” of the responsibility she has to the millions of young people who hear her lyrics and look up to her.

Perfectly reasonable, perfectly benign.

VIDEO BELOW

But HollywoodLife sees it as a direct attack on Cyrus.

Swift “totally disses” Cyrus, who is “NOT going to be happy” about the comments, says the site.

Um… what?

According to HollywoodLife, Swift “comes out clearly slamming Miley’s comments about NOT wanting to be a role model.”

Are we missing something?

Well, HollywoodLife is referring to quotes that Cyrus gave to Harper’s Bazaar about the topic – nearly two years ago.

At the time, Cyrus said, “My job isn’t to tell your kids how to act or how not to act because I’m still figuring that out for myself.”

Only HollywoodLife, panting for any sort of conflict between the two star singers, would think Swift’s “60 Minutes” results were “clearly slamming” Cyrus’ February 2010 magazine interview.

In short, the outlet’s declaration that Swift “totally disses” Cyrus is totally bogus, totally ridiculous and totally lame.

The full Swift interview airs on “60 Minutes” on Sunday.

We can’t wait to see how HollywoodLife twists the rest of it.

Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal dated only briefly last year, but the tabloids are still hopelessly clinging to their past relationship as a source of drama.

In Touch has a story this week with the headline, “Jake Dumps Taylor… Again!” claiming Swift begged the actor to “rekindle their romance,” but “he shot her down.”

According to a supposed “friend” of Gyllenhaal, “Taylor still reaches out to him and he wants nothing to do with her.”

The reason given is that Swift is now friendly with Gyllenhaal’s ex, Reese Witherspoon.

“Jake’s normally an easygoing guy, but the thought of Taylor telling Reese everything she knows about him just puts a knot in his stomach,” says In Touch‘s source.

Adds the so-called friend, “He really wanted to marry Reese, and he doesn’t want any girl-talk about him.”

There’s just one major problem with this story.

Swift is NOT trying to get back together with Gyllenhaal.

They dated a year ago, and have both moved on.

A source close to the singer tells Gossip Cop the tab’s story is completely untrue.

Oh, and one more thing – when Swift and Witherspoon do get together, which isn’t often, they don’t spend their time gossiping about Gyllenhaal.

“More than nine months after a painful split, heartbroken country songbird Taylor Swift is determined to win back the love of Jake Gyllenhaal,” reports the National Enquirer.

The supermarket tabloid quotes a so-called Swift “friend” as saying, “She hasn’t given up the idea that Jake will one day be back in her arms,” noting that “she calls and texts him all the time.”

According to the Enquirer‘s source, a “brokenhearted” Swift is “still holding out hope that he is going to take her back… And she’s doing everything in her power to get Jake’s attention.”

Nevertheless, says the mag, Gyllenhaal is “resisting her pretty obvious advances to get back together.”

The only thing that’s “obvious” here is that the Enquirer is wrong.

Swift is not “heartbroken” or trying to “win back” Gyllenhaal. And she doesn’t call and text him, hoping he’s “going to take her back.”

The singer has moved on.

A source close to Swift assures Gossip Cop this tab tale is “not true.”
