Sinead O'Connor is not dead -- in fact she's alive and still ranting on social media hours after reports that she was suicidal in Chicago.
On Friday, the outspoken singer took to Facebook to shoot down claims that she was suicidal -- and also to celebrate Britain's decision to leave the European Union.
The whole story is a bit odd -- apparently, Chicago police received a call from police in Ireland, saying that the singer was on a bridge in the Second City and threatening to jump off of it. The Irish police reportedly said, "Sinead O'Connor called and said 'I'm on a bridge in Chicago and I'm going to jump," and asked the Chicago authorities to check on the "Nothing Compares 2 U" singer.
However, O'Connor was quick to explain the situation, saying, "It's bull---t I jumped off a bridge. "Some stupid b---- up at Swords Garda station [an Irish police station] decided she'd like to throw a bit of false and malicious gossip about is all."
O'Connor said she was not suicidal because she is, "FAR TOO F-----G HAPPY FOR THAT." The controversial star has threatened suicide in the past before -- so this is not out of the real of possibilities given her unstable mental history.
Despite past issues, O'Connor says her end is not night -- and the reason that O'Connor cites her happiness is due to Britain's history-making vote on Thursday to leave the EU, which has been nicknamed "Brexit."
The Irish lady got passionate about her homeland's independence from the UK, writing, "IRELAND IS OFFICIALLY NO LONGER OWNED BY BRITAIN!!!! CONGRATS TO EVERY MAN, WOMAN AND CHILD WHO EVER DIED FOR THE CAUSE OF IRISH FREEDOM, AND ALSO TO ALL THOSE INCLUDING MYSELF, WHO HAVE BEEN PERSECUTED MERCILESSLY BY THE IRISH SO CALLED FREE-STATE FOR HAVING DECLARED SUPPORT FOR SINN FÉIN AND THE REPUBLICAN MOVEMENT."

Aww Saint West is such a cutie!
Proud mama Kim Kardashian posted a precious rare pic of her six-month-old son on social media on Thursday and boasted that he wee one was her "twin."
The mom of two tweeted, "Saint is my twin!" She then tweeted, "I mean North's baby pics look like mine too but Saint i think looks more like me and North like Kanye."
The 35-year-old also tweeted at a fan who commented about her son's eyes, writing, "Yeah we have the same eyes. Def a good mix of both of us but he is more me, I think."
This is only the third photo that the reality star has posted of the baby since his birth on Dec. 5, 2015.
Keep 'em coming, Kimbo! Saint is one cutie patootie!

Kate Hudson is known for her random and awesome sense of style, and on Thursday afternoon she mixed things up with a casual but totally sexy outfit. We're not sure what inspired this (or if she had any help from a stylist), but we totally dig the Birks, tattered denim overalls and sleeveless rocker tee! Not sure about the Aloha hat, but hey -- it's good for sun protection!
Kate has (sorta) kept a lid on her love life, and after confirming that she was "dating" (though not explicitly stating that she was getting it on with the much younger Nick Jonas), earlier this spring she also addressed rumors that she was seeing Houston Texans star J.J. Watt. Hudson chatted with Extra’s Charissa Thompson in April, and in response to a recent Snapchat video of the two, Kate said, “We were just at dinner with just a bunch of people. We have the same agent. He’s a nice dude, he's a nice guy… he’s enormous, he’s huge.â€
Hmm...we're not convinced that they're just friends...

Kesha jetted out of Los Angeles International Airport on Thursday afternoon, and the 29-year-old singer flashed some leg in a short floral dress and lace up sandals. Earlier this month K Money chilled in Palm Springs with her boyfriend, so we're not sure where she was off to this week, but we're loving the summery outfit.
In other news, Kesha recently took to her Instagram to slam a body shamer, and not only did she post their handle in the now-deleted post, but she uploaded a photo of herself in a bikini bending over. Sassy! She captioned the pic, "Dear @jackknife76, I see that you would very much like me to know that you think I'm ugly, and also a "wh**e". well, I understand that that is your opinion, but I disagree. I'm not perfect but I'm pretty f***ing magical. and also, I am not, in fact, a wh**e. also bullying someone who has struggled publicly with body issues is pretty mean. thank god I'm in a place in my life where I feel empowered to address your nasty comments instead of letting them destroy me. so. on behalf of anyone anywhere who struggles with body image, STOP IT. my body is not your business. in conclusion, kiss my magical imperfect a**."
We love that she is so vocal about standing up for herself! Now, if only we could resolve the Dr. Luke dramz...

Before we get into freedom of speech and all that, let's keep in mind Lindsay Lohan was born in America, not in the U.K.
On Thursday night the starlet live-tweeted and Instagrammed the referendum coverage before it was confirmed that Britain voted to leave the European Union -- the only country ever to leave the EU since its formation.
First Lilo posted an Instagram video of a Chanel bag before showing a clip of BBC's televised referendum coverage, writing, "#besmart pay attention and work hard to buy @chanelofficial #remain where's Sunderland? Does Sarah Palin live there? Lol." She later added, "This goes for the USA too #besmart I am getting extremely tired and off to sleep. With that being said, I am praying for the uk to #remain as it will have an effect on our next American president as well. Do your research."
She then posted the selfie above and added, "#remain #IAMIRISH #iloveuk #iloveEu #iloveusa #onelove #freetrade don't let me down in the UK as a loving member of your beautiful country during #hermajestythequeen 's birthday time." She also made a point of tweeting that she hadn't been hacked.
Meanwhile, a number of politicians tweeted famous lines from Mean Girls in response to Lilo's commentary. Stuart Donaldson joked, "She doesn't even go here," while "Stewart McDonald quipped, "You can't sit with us." BURN!

Is she or isn't she preggers?!
Wearing a billowing tank top, army green pants and wedges, Jennifer Aniston was walking it out in the Big Apple after reports have swirled that the former Friends star is reportedly pregnant with her first child at age 47. Well if she is knocked up -- she looks amazing!
The superstar was heading into an office building in New York City on Thursday and she looked cool as ever despite all the hubbub being made about her body.
Last week, In Touch obtained pics of the actress and her hubby Justin Theroux on the beach in the Bahamas, and the notoriously fit star appeared to be sporting the beginnings of a baby bump.
A source dished to the outlet, "She's pregnant. She and Justin are ecstatic. Jen has wanted to have a baby with Justin for years." The source added, "Their baby news came at a bad time in her life, too. She just lost her mother, and she and Justin almost broke up. But now this surprise pregnancy has turned the worst of times into the best of times," the source added.

Kendall Jenner certainly looks alluring after her photo shoot for Allure!
After wrapping up her photoshoot for the cover of Allure magazine, the reality star looked gorgeous as she strutted her stuff through the streets of New York City in her hippie chic look on Wednesday.
The leggy lady donned a black Balmain midriff top and matching bell bottoms, paired with an ice blue quilted jacket with a red floral print.
It looks like yesterday was a big day of fashion for the "It" girl. Marc Jacobs debuted his latest campaign on Instagram, which featured the brunette beauty in a over-the-top goth look for the designer's Fall 2016 collection.
In the lengthy post, Jacobs describes the teen as a “goth goddess†and outfits a barely recognizable Jenner i sky high platform boots, crimped hair and one supremely gothed out ballgown.
While we dig the snap, we think we prefer her a bit more au natural!

Call off the bump watch!
Jennifer Garner hit the gym for an early morning workout in Brentwood today, and her tight exercise clothing made it glaringly obvious that she most certainly does not have a bun in the oven! Rumors have been swirling for months that the actress was pregnant with estranged hubby Ben Affleck's baby and they were going to call off the divorce, but now we don't know what their next move is!
The former couple has remained super close since their split, and the Batman star is even still calling Jen his "wife!"
The A-list hunk made an appearance on Any Given Wednesday with Bill Simmons yesterday, and referred to the mother-of-three as his spouse while talking about a rough patch he endured in his career.
"If you went by what people said… I wasn’t cool and I wasn’t talented, and I was like the lowest rung of cool and talented that you could possibly be in the public consciousness at that time. I had broken up with Jennifer Lopez and I had like three or four movies in a row that had bombed. I was so uncool that I was literally a punchline in… Arliss’s straight to United Airlines video standup bit. So that guy had to look around and go ‘Who’s below me that I can sh-t on?’ and he picked me. He did a whole bit about me that I saw on United Airlines and I [thought] ‘This is it, it really doesn’t get much worse than this.’ That was where I found myself when I thought ‘hey I want to take up directing,’ which is for people that are taken seriously. That became my mantra ‘I’m just going to work harder than everybody else…’ My wife was really instrumental and helpful in me doing a lot of that work because I was just so focused [on it] and it was harder to balance family and all that,†he explained.
