Bad news guys. I just got off the phone with 20th Century Fox Rep Phyllis Ripple and she passed along the scoop that Jimmy Cameron passed away early in 2005.

I know this comes as a shock to those of you waiting anxiously on Avatar… but you gotta admit it makes perfect sense given he hasn’t been seen anywhere in like… a decade (when was Titanic?).

The really terrible part is that they’re going to make him do a press tour anyway. What a bunch of jerks.

Sigh. Anyway, keep it LOCKED here for more breaking news on AVATAR and JIMMY CAMERON’s CORPSE!
