Kimo Leopoldo Is Not Dead: Contrary to what you might have read on TMZ.com, the New York Daily News, Orange County Register, Las Vegas Sun and numerous mixed martial arts sites, former Ultimate Fighting Championship contender Kimo Leopoldo is not dead. "Kimo woke up to reports of his death," said publicist Bob Trieger. TMZ.Com pulled its "confirmed" story offline, which was reprinted by Huffington Post and others, but never published a retraction admitting the mistake.
TMZ sucks. I have confirmed that with sources close to the site.

TMZ got something wrong? That's a shocker!
TMZ, Perez Hilton... Scum, the lot of them.

Gosh, rcade, are you saying we can't trust TMZ.com to check facts and get it right? I mean, where the hell am I supposed to turn with Cronkite gone?
