There's been quite a convincing "Britney Spears dead" hoax doing the rounds.
It was found on the following URL:
http://www.cnn.com;2001;showbiz@205.134.190.239/britney/index.html
Note that this is NOT a CNN.com URL. It's actually a page at 205.134.190.239, but with login information: you can specify this within a URL like this:
http://user;password;area@server/index.html
It just looks like a CNN URL. Neat trick, especially if you're not familiar with the login information trick.
