Megan Fox Joins Twitter Following Death Hoax

08:41, Saturday, 5 January 2013

Hollywood star Megan Fox has joined social networking site Twitter in the wake of a death hoax concerning her.

And her first post under the name @meganfox expressed uncertainty about the point of the whole thing.

She wrote: "I'm incredibly late to the party but I'm here nonetheless, so what now?"

Her second post was: "Hello twitter. How is everyones day going? 7:30am and we've watched 'A Bugs Life' twice...so mine has been action packed as per usual."

But she soon got the hang of the site, posting picture of her life-size R2D2 model and tweeting about a basketball game.

Hoaxers had repeated the term "RIP Megan Fox" enought times to get it "trending" on the site over the festive period.
