Jackie Chan is NOT dead

Jackie Chan is not dead

There’s an hoax floating on the internet that claims actor/stuntman/singer Jackie Chan is dead. Twitter even has “RIP Jackie Chan” as a trending topic almost all day. Jackie Chan is infact NOT dead. So how do you counter the online rumors? Jackie Chan posted messages on various online platforms to stop the hoax.

On Facebook:

Jackie is alive and well. He did not suffer a heart attack and die, as was reported on many social networking sites and in online news reports.

Jackie is fine and is busy preparing for the filming of his next movie.

On his website:
He released a photo with the following caption:
Jackie Chan supporting Japanese relief efforts

On March 29, Jackie met with Yuji Kumamaru, Consul-General of Japan in Hong Kong to discuss the details of the “Love Without Borders 3/11 Candelight Gala.” The event, which is expected to feature up to 100 performers, is scheduled for April 1 at Victoria Park in Hong Kong. All proceeds from the event will benefit the victims of the March 11 earthquake/tsunami in Japan.

Although it’s premature for April Fool’s Day, we expect more hoaxes over the next few days. Jackie Chan did take the opportunity with all the buzz to talk about his charity work.

update: 8/17/11 – rumors surfaced again that Jackie Chan has once again died. This time he addressed the death rumors on Twitter and Facebook stating, “Jackie is alive and well and working hard on his next movie! Don’t believe the latest death rumors.” Jackie Chan knows how to use social media to quell the death hoaxes.

Gold by Kaile Goh x Paul Dateh x Ken Belcher

Pop Rock singer Kaile Goh connects with musicians Paul Dateh x Ken Belcher for an acoustic version of her song “Gold”. The track is Kaile’s first single, which is filled with raw energy. She’s definitely got a unique style going with a lot of heart. It’s hard to believe she’s only 15. Backing her up in the video is none other than Paul Dateh x Ken Belcher. Paul delivers on multiple violins along with back up vocals, while Ken handles the guitar. Paul Dateh is a one man string orchestra. BTW – Kaile is slated to drop her first album in 2011. Keep your eyes out.

Female rockers seem to get younger and younger. Check out Cheska Zaide from A+ Dropouts.

One by Pmac

Pmac dropped a music video for his track “One.” He goes hard on the single with the verses. Equally impressive is the video. It’s got fun transitional elements, kinetic typography, and lots of attention to details. Pay attention when you watch the video and find the easter eggs strewn throughout the scenes. You will see Pmac seamlessly move from location to location like the school, barbershop, and studio/bedroom. If you are familiar with the San Francisco/Daly City area some of the locations will look very familiar to you.

You can download the song FREE here as part of his First Impression album.

Trenches Preview by Gabe Bondoc

Trenches Preview by Gabe Bondoc

Gabe Bondoc gives you a peek at his upcoming EP with the track “Trenches”. There’s not need to fight to prove you’re right when you’re in a relationship. Remember what side you’re on. (Makes us think of Grenade by Bruno Mars. Sometimes love it like a war.) The one minute snippets and the past few original songs he’s released, we expect the EP to revolve around the ups and downs of relationships. There’s a thin line between love and hate. Listen to Little Black Book, Now I Know, and You’re It

Lyrics to Trenches by Gabe Bondoc

Verse 1:
girl tell me what, we’re fighting for,
i wanna hear it coming from you baby
this field of battle, this aimless war,
i’m dodging bullets waiting in the trenches,
this isn’t what i signed up for,
i don’t know how to change where happened,
who’s keeping track, who’s keeping score,
i don’t think anyone is counting the burns
there’s no harm in dropping arms,
i won’t fire if you don’t

Chorus:
there’s no need to fight, to prove your right 2x
there’s no need to fight, you know i’m on your side (your side)
there’s no need to fight, to prove your right 2x
there’s no need to fight, you know i’m on your side (your side)

Verse 2:
we’re treading lightly, this field of mines,
we got to keep an eye on where we’re going
let’s hold it steady, we’ll walk the line
girl if we stick together we’ll survive
i won’t keep secrets, don’t tell me lies
there ain’t a thing that’s gonna come between us
i know you’re ready, and so am i

come and take my hand you know you’ll feel high
there’s no harm in dropping arms, i won’t fire if you don’t .

Chorus:
there’s no need to fight, to prove your right 2x
there’s no need to fight, you know i’m on your side (your side)
there’s no need to fight, to prove your right 2x
there’s no need to fight, you know i’m on your side (your side)

Bridge:
you’ll do no more harm, i refuse not to defuse this
gotta be strong, drop arms, gotta stay calm,
gotta be strong, drop arms, gotta stay calm,
you’ll do no more harm . ohh .

GUITAR SOLO .

Chorus:
there’s no need to fight, to prove your right 2x
there’s no need to fight, you know i’m on your side (your side)
there’s no need to fight, to prove your right 2x
there’s no need to fight, you know i’m on your side (your side)
