Al Goldstein Is\u00a0Not<\/em>\u00a0Dead<\/h1>\n

By\u00a0Matthew Kassel<\/a>
\n\"Al<\/a>Contrary to what you may have heard, Al Goldstein, founder and former publisher of\u00a0Screw\u00a0<\/em>magazine, did not die yesterday.<\/p>\n

Although the website Real Porn Wiki Leaks\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a0that Mr. Goldstein had died, the news was\u00a0retracted<\/a>\u00a0when Bleeding Cool\u00a0wrote earlier today<\/a>\u00a0that the death could not be independently confirmed.<\/p>\n

Author Larry \u201cRatso\u201d Sloman, who has notably worked with Howard Stern, told Bleeding Cool that Mr. Goldstein, 77, is alive and stable; he is, however, in a hospital in the city.<\/p>\n

Though Real Porn reported the wrong information, the website could not be blamed for making up Mr. Goldstein\u2019s death out of thin air.<\/p>\n

Last night, magician Penn Jillette, a friend of Goldstein\u2019s,\u00a0tweeted<\/a>, \u201cI\u2019m in NYC. Today I visited my hero and friend Al Goldstein as he dies in the hospital, and tomorrow night I celebrate Lou Reed\u2019s Life. NYC.\u201d<\/p>\n

A misinterpretation of the present tense, perhaps. Earlier today, Mr. Jillette clarified his message on Twitter:\u00a0\u201dMy buddy and hero, Al Goldstein is NOT dead,\u201d\u00a0he wrote<\/a>. \u201cHe is unresponsive and not doing well, but he is alive. Try to stop the rumors. Thanks.\u201d<\/p>\n
