Prince has had a revelation: “the Internet is completely over,” says the singer. Billboard.com reports that the artist doesn’t want his new album, “2oTen,” to be available for digital download on Web sites such as iTunes.

The artist compared the Internet to MTV, saying both was once “hip” before becoming “outdated.” Prince also condemned computers and other “digital gadgets,” and has shut down his official Web site.

Currently Prince is marketing “2oTen” by giving away free copies in European newspapers. There are no confirmed plans of how he will distribute the album in the U.S. and in European retail stores.

Tweeps are wondering if Prince has gone crazy and are mocking his statement:

1. 
   gruber It’s only fair, because the Internet declared Prince to be over like 10 years ago.
2. 
   abigvictory Did anyone tell Prince it’s his career that’s over?
3. 
   shanethevein I was surfing the internet when I accidentally found out that Prince was still alive.

   hrheingold RT @lafix: Prince seems to be taking the demise of GeoCities harder than most.

   ShawnHockeybuzz RT @ThatKevinSmith: “Thoughts on Prince declaring internet dead” HE’S RIGHT! SHUT IT DOWN! (If you play dead Prince goes away; like a bear)
7. 
   SoulProduct Uh-oh, looks like my hero Prince is declaring the internet “dead”. He’s got “computer blues”.
8. 
   WadeFulp @FatFatlinson think Prince could convince Justin Bieber the Internet is dead? Prince, your career is dead, see ya!
9. 
   MichaelSalamone No, Prince wasn’t just slamming iTunes, he said the internet was dead because I hadn’t been online all day.

    Yapping1 No one buys physical music any more Prince. This is not the Purple Rain days. Failure is an option for you brotha.

According to Entertainment Weekly, rumors that actor Jeff Goldblum died yesterday are completely false, his publicist confirms. The reports were prompted by an internet hoax that started Thursday afternoon, the same day both Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson passed away.

Goldblum’s publicist issued the following statement: “Reports that Jeff Goldblum has passed away are completely untrue.  He is fine and in Los Angeles.”

Despite the confirmation that Goldblum is indeed alive and well, Twitterers are still unsure about the rumors:
