Social media watchdogs thought Ellen DeGeneres had danced her last dance after logging onto Twitter Monday night to discover that the hashtag #RIPEllen was trending.
Not to worry, E.D. isn’t dead — the tweets were reportedly in reference to rumors last week that “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” might get axed, which spawned a viral death hoax.
“Is Ellen dead or not?! Y’all confusing tf out of me #ripellen,” tweeted one distraught fan amid false reports the 62-year-old comic and talk show host had jumped off the roof of a house.
Other Twitterati mocked the “late” entertainer with fake obituaries featuring pics of DeGeneres’ various celebrity doppelgängers.
