Halle BerryRolling Stone , one of the music industry's foremost publications, has found itself reporting false news gleaned from a Wikipedia article. The online edition of the magazine's Rock & Roll Daily released an article entitled " Halle Berry Set to Ruin Reputation..." on December 11, reporting on the news that the actor had announced her intentions to release a musical album. The story was quickly picked up by the Washington Post , All Headline News  and other news agencies eager to report on the Academy Award-winning actress' foray into the musical world. The only trouble is, according to one of the album's alleged producers, Scott Storch , there is no such album...and he definitely hasn't produced three songs for it. A Wikipedia editor known only as "Ciii" registered on the site on December 1, and then quietly updated the actress' article on the free encyclopaedia, to include mention of a fictitious interview allegedly given in the December issue of Ebony magazine , in which Berry allegedly was quoted saying "I've always loved to sing and this album will show people that I can do more than act."
