• DJ Khaled Has Not Been Killed in a High-Speed Bentley Chase, DJ Khaled Claims

  In one of the more outrageous celebrity-death rumors we've heard (FYI: Eminem, Blossom, and Doogie Howser are indeed alive) various blogs have been reporting that Miami pseudo-star DJ Khaled led cops on a three-hour Bentley chase through Los Angeles streets before killing himself.

First Chris Brown was said to be the driver, and then DJ Khaled, probably because he sort of looks l
