Celebrities unharmed by earthquake
A 5.8 magnitude earthquake shook the Los Angeles area late Tuesday morning, leaving millions of Americans worried about whether any of their favorite celebrities suffered minor injuries or if their personal property or children were harmed.
"Are Reese and Jake OK? This earthquake couldn't have come at a worse time with them just starting their relationship!" frantic Oklahoma housewife Jeanne Fodlinger wrote on a message board. "What about Brangelina and all their kids? And that nice new vase I heard she bought in France? Why hasn't TMZ told us?!?!?!?!"
However, the U.S. Geological Survey's Hollywood star Bureau confirmed to Dateline Hollywood that it did not track any seismic activity higher than 3.0 at the homes of any prominent celebs, making the chances of injury or damage extremely low.
"We are quite certain that no famous people ranked more important than Wil Wheaton were impacted by this quake," said the USGS's Dan Golisano. "We also think several dozen non-celebrities were severely injured, though we haven't had time to look into that yet.
