Pop One: Ashley Tisdale, the blonde starlet from the Disney High Scholl Musical series was smacked in the face with reports that she has HIV. Reports that were basically unsubstantiated rumors claimed this weekend that the star contracted a disease when she had her nose job last year. They are not true. The hoax went so far that there was a fake statement from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles published as well. Cue the reps™: Cedars-Sinai spokesperson Simi Singer tells People: "We absolutely did not issue a release." Ashley's rep says ditto. The reports are "completely untrue," her rep, Scott Appel said. What a cruel hoax.


Pop Two: Are energy drinks dangerous for teens? A 16-year-old student in Palm Beach County, Fla., died last month after consuming alcohol and energy drinks, according to her family, the AP reports. Doctors are worried and at issue are the drinks' heavy caffeine and sugar content, the common practice of mixing them with alcohol, and advertising that seems to target minors for drinks with names like Cocaine, the report details. Even without the alcohol principals and teachers across the country and even in Britain are urging parents not to send their children to school with them. Some energy drinks have as much as 500 mg of caffeine in each 24-ounce can. Scoools are tired of the hyped up teens but officials say despite the warnings, it will be difficult to ban the drinks from kids.

Pop Three: Amy Winehouse is featured in some shocking pictures and video showing public sex and alleged drug use that has been published online by a British paper.

But the fact is all this will upset millions and millions of fans around the world." The link to the wild story is here at News of the World.
