Congratulations, Avril Lavigne: You're the first famous person to have a fake, shakily sourced story about your death spread far and wide on the Internet in 2011.

The 26-year-old singer is alive and nowhere near the reported site of her death in British Columbia; reports earlier in the week had her in Hawaii with boyfriend Brody Jenner, and she performed her new song "What the Hell" on the L.A. portion of ABC's "New Year's Rockin' Eve" special Friday night.

As has been the case with the last few death hoaxes, the source of the fake story is Global Associated News, the official-sounding "news" front of a prank site called Fake A Wish. It lets people plug a celeb's name into a generator that creates a story about their death usually in some sort of weird accident.

Lavigne's fake death, for example, supposedly happened while she was snowboarding at the Whistler ski resort in British Columbia. Similar fake snowboarding deaths have befallen Adam Sandler, Owen Wilson and Charlie Sheen in the past couple of weeks.

So, to reiterate: Avril Lavigne, not dead. Lots of Internet users, still gullible.

About Whistler Blackcomb Ski Resort - located 125 km north of Vancouver, in British Columbia, Canada. By many measures it is the largest ski resort in North America; it is 50% larger than its nearest competitor in terms of size, has the greatest uphill lift capacity, and until 2009, had the highest vertical skiable distance by a wide margin. The resort expanded extensively in the 1980s and 90s, becoming the centrepiece of a renewed bid on the part of nearby Vancouver. Vancouver/Whistler was selected as the winning bid for the 2010 Winter Olympics in July 2003. Whistler Blackcomb hosted the alpine skiing events, including the men's and women's Olympic and Paralympic alpine skiing disciplines of downhill, Super-G, giant slalom, super combined and slalom.
