UFC 115, (un) Dead Celebrities and Stonehenge Apocalypse

After a brief burst of interest in the England vs. USA match (which ended 1-1) and a flurry of searches on 'Robert Green mistake' (which we really won't talk about!), the trends settled down into more traditional patterns...

UFC 115 (Ultimate Fighting Championship for the uninitiated) dominated the headlines due to the fight between Chuck Liddell and Rich Franklin (billed as a meeting between 'two legends). Certainly, it was a fight that fired the imagination of UFC fans, meaning that UFC 115, held in Vancouver, was much anticipated. The result, for those interested, saw Rich Franklin brutally KO Chuck Liddell in the very first round. Which doesn't sound like terribly good value for money to me, but then I'm not a UFC fan so, perhaps, not a good judge.

A mention has to go to the - just peaking - trend that is suggesting that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are dead. Now, at this point in time - since it's a brand new rumour - it is impossible to official confirm or deny it but, based upon the evidence of the last week, I'm going to stick my neck out (not particularly far, it must be said) and say that this is yet another celebrity death hoax.

If so, it's merely the latest in a LONG line of celebrity death hoaxes this week (that I feel may well deserve a regular (Un)dead Celebrities spot on the Pulse). After all, yesterday news broke that Justin Bieber had died and this followed up a week in which Russell Crowe, The Undertaker and Uncle Phil all were rumoured to have met their maker. Just to reassure you; no celebrities have been harmed in writing this paragraph...

And, finally, mention must go to Stonehenge Apocalypse which is not, as it might sound, the new album from Spinal Tap but - instead - a low budget, made-for-TV film starring Misha Collins (of Supernatural fame). Apparently, Stonehenge is part of an ancient alien mechanism to terraform the world and, when it is accidentally activated, it begins a chain of events that will end life as we know it. I won't spoil the plot by giving too much away but, to be honest, I'm not sure there is a whole lot of plot to be spoiled. But, as bad as it may be, it still surely pales into insignificance in comparison to the gloriously bad Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus...
