***DIRK ROCKWELL BLOWS - UP, THAT IS***

Hollyweird, July 17, 2009
His co-pilot, navigator, airport security and inflight service attendant couldn't save Hollyweird B-lister Dirk Rockwell. En route to a San Francisco orphan oncology center in an experimental hydrogen-and-coal powered prop/jet hybrid plane, Rockwell exploded in a fireball over Bakersfield. He tweeted just before the explosion about finding a package on board from rival actor Phoenix MacAllister, which contained a lump of clay and a clock.

Last communication from Rockwell had him declaring his undying love for estranged girl friend, avant-garde artist Lilli LeMue. A message for Rockwell's ex-wife, former model Carissa Ainsley, was cut off by the explosion.

Hollyweird Detective Harry Ballzac had questioned Rockwell recently for the murders of reporter Samantha Marlowe and Rockwell's alleged love child, Coffee Boy. Rockwell's agent, Alex Berkley, and his "cousin" Riva, Berkley's wife, also died this week under mysterious circumstances. Rockwell, Marlowe, Ainsley, and others had received threatening tweets from special effects artist Hanna Bleckter, mother of Coffee Boy.

Rockwell's assistant, Miss Plupp, refused to answer questions. She was last seen rubbing ash into her scalp while sitting amid the rubble of Rockwell's beachhouse - which, like several other places linked to Rockwell, burned down this week.
