A disturbing rumor is making its way around X and other social media platforms today:
Quentin Tarantino, his wife, Daniella Pick, and their children reside in Israel for much of the year (Daniella is a native of the country), specifically in Tel Aviv.
The city was targeted by Iranian missiles over the weekend, and it was rumored that Quentin had been killed.
The reports came on the heels of photos that appeared to show Tarantino in a bomb shelter in Tel Aviv.
Thankfully, we can now report that that was just a rumor.
“Quentin is alive and well and his family is all good too,” a source close to the situation tells TMZ.
The outlet also reports that the photo showing Quentin and his family in a bomb shelter was AI-generated.
We’re sure to see a lot more of that sort of hoax in the years to come.
Celebrity death hoaxes are certainly nothing new, but the age of AI will make it more difficult to discern the real strories from the bogus ones.
“Quentin Tarantino has been killed by an Iranian missile in Tel Aviv,” reads one post on X (formerly Twitter) that has yet to be deleted.
Quentin Tarantino dead in Tel Aviv after missile strike, Likud says,” reads the top reply, referring to an alleged statement from the Israeli right-wing political party led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
TMZ reports that tweets about Tarantino’s alleged death received thousands of likes.
Thanifully, it now looks as though most of them have received community notes that clarify the matter.
Tarantino has not responded publicly to the reports of his death, but it seems that there’s no reason to believe that he or his loved ones are in any danger.
As the situation continues to escalate in the Middle East, President Trump has threatened Iran with even larger strikes.
We don’t know if the Tarantinos are currently in Tel Aviv or Los Angeles. But wherever they are, we hope they’re safe.
Not only is Quentin a family man now, he still has that tenth movie to make!

Time after time, fans declare a celebrity to be “unrecognizable.”
But what happens when a beloved actor is fully recognizable, but something seems vaguely off?
All sorts of rumors — some as unhinged as human cloning — circulated following Jim Carrey’s recent time on stage.
Did he send a stunt double to give a speech in another language and accept his award?
There’s just something a little different …
On Thursday, February 26, Carrey delighted the crowd at the César Awards in Paris.
There, he received honors and delivered a speech in French to the audience.
Director Michel Gondry introduced him on stage.
Carrey gave a shout-out to his partner, telling his girlfriend: “Thank you to my sublime companion, Min Ah. I love you.”
However, following his appearance at the show, a curious kind of buzz began to circulate online.
Simply put, Carrey looks a little different, here.
Most online commenters were sort of vague about what seemed different. Others were hyper-specific.
His cheekbones look very rounded and smooth. The sides of his jaw are, perhaps, a little more textured than they once were.
Not for nothing, but this is the best hair that Carrey has ever had.
On top of everything else, he moved his jaws differently when forcing his mouth to do the unthinkable — speak in French.
Was that not the real man? Was that an imposter? A stunt double? A CLONE?
We hope that we do not have to explain to anyone that human cloning is not real yet. The tech isn’t there.
(And, if we did have functional human cloning tech, we’d be using it to grow replacement organs — not impersonate celebrities for vague conspiratorial reasons that only make sense to those suffering from delusions.)
However, it is tragically normal for human bodies to age and, yes, even change over time. Especially when that person is 64.
That has not stopped wild speculation to suggest that, perhaps by means of Mission Impossible face mask technology, someone had stepped in to impersonate Carrey in front of the crowd, viewers at home, and his more-than-half-a-dozen guests.
A prank that makeup artist Alexis Stone — Elliot Joseph Rentz — played on Instagram after the fact didn’t help.
Stone’s Instagram post showed a combination of actual photos of Carrey alongside makeup props that one could conceivably use to mimic his appearance.
This included an elaborate face mask and even a wig.
Stone’s page is full of steal-their-look feats.
This, however, appears to have been merely a prank.
It fooled some people, though!
What is the truth?
It is wild to live through a time when it feels like the very concept of truth is actively being killed before our eyes. But the truth does exist.
Carrey’s publicist, Marleah Leslie, has confirmed to TMZ that “Jim Carrey attended the César Awards, where he accepted his Honorary César Award.”
We can’t think of a better place to accept a César Award, to be honest.
Additionally, a delegate of the César Awards confirmed his attendance to Variety.
It’s really useful to be able to differentiate between things that are real and pretend. Human cloning is not yet real. Mission Impossible face masks aren’t, either. What reason would he have for either even if he could?

As you very likely know by now, Eric Dane died last month at the age of 53.
As you also likely know at this point, the veteran actor — best known for roles in Grey’s Anatomy and Euphoria — had been diagnosed with Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
According to the star’s official death certificate, meanwhile, we can now confirm that Dane died from respiratory failure… with ALS listed as an underlying cause of death.
Dane is survived by his wife, Rebecca Gayheart, and their two kids: Billie Beatrice, 15, and Georgia Geraldine, 13.
Dane’s family previously confirmed the actor’s death on February 19.
“With heavy hearts, we share that Eric Dane passed on Thursday afternoon following a courageous battle with ALS,” his family wrote at the time.
“He spent his final days surrounded by dear friends, his devoted wife and his two beautiful daughters, Billie and Georgia, who were the center of his world. Throughout his journey with ALS, Eric became a passionate advocate for awareness and research, determined to make a difference for others facing the same fight.
“He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered always. Eric adored his fans and is forever grateful for the outpouring of love and support he’s received.
“The family has asked for privacy as they navigate this impossible time.”
Also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, ALS is a progressive degenerative disease that affects the nerve cells, leading to eventual paralysis of the muscles, according to the Mayo Clinic. There is no cure.
Toward the end of his life, Dane had basically lost the ability to speak.
“I have been diagnosed with ALS,” Dane said in April 2025. “I am grateful to have my loving family by my side as we navigate this next chapter.
“I feel fortunate that I am able to continue working and am looking forward to returning to set of Euphoria next week. I kindly ask that you give my family and I privacy during this time.”
Since Dane’s passing, a number of celebrities have posted messages of sympathy and sorrow on social media.
“I have no reason to be in a good spirit at any time, on any given day, I don’t think anybody would blame me if I went upstairs in my bedroom, crawled under the sheets, and spent the next two weeks crying,” Dane said in a virtual panel featuring I AM ALS and Synapticure co-founders Brian Wallach and Sandra Abrevaya for Giving Tuesday on December 2.
“I was a little bit pleasantly surprised when I realized that I wasn’t built like that, because I thought for sure that was gonna be me…
“It’s imperative that I share my journey with as many people as I can because I don’t feel like my life is about me anymore.”

We have tragic news to report from the world of reality television today.
Todd Meadows — a cast member on the popular Discovery reality show Deadliest Catch — has passed away.
He was just 25 years old.
News of Meadows’ passing comes courtesy of a social media post from another of the show’s stars, Captain Rick Shelford.
According to Shelford, Meadows died Wednesday aboard the Aleutian Lady on the Bering Sea.
“February 25, 2026 was the most tragic day in the history of the Aleutian Lady on the Bering Sea,” Shelford’s post reads.
“We lost our brother, Todd Meadows. Todd was the newest member of our crew, he quickly became family. His love for fishing and his strong work ethic earned everyone’s respect right away,” Shelford continued, adding:
Though little is known about Meadows’ personal life, Shelford revealed that he was a father:
“His smile was contagious, and the sound of his laughter coming up the wheelhouse stairs or over the deck hailer is something we will carry with us always,” Shelford wrote.
“Todd’s love for his children, his family, and his life was evident in everything he did. He worked hard, loved deeply, and brought joy to those around him,” he continued, adding:
“Right now, our hearts are broken in a way that words can’t fully express. We ask that you lift Todd’s children and family in prayer and keep them in your thoughts as they face the days ahead without him.
“Todd will forever be part of this boat, this crew, and this brotherhood. Though we lost him far too soon, his legacy will live on through his children and in every memory we carry of him. Rest easy brother, till we meet again.”
A GoFundMe page launched in Todd’s memory has already raised more than $12,000.
Our thoughts are with Todd Meadows’ family as they begin to try and process this terrible tragedy.
