Maya Angelou has been hospitilized today, but contrary to numerous online reports the 81-year-old poet has not died. The rumors of Mays Angelou's death that are believed to have started on Twitter.com are false.
Maya Angelou was in L.A. to attend the "BraveHeart Awards." It is not known why Maya Angelou was taken to the hospital or what her current condition is, but when there is an official announcement I'll be posting it here on Daily News Scoop.
UPDATE - Maya Angelou has come forward to put online rumors of her sickness to rest, saying that she was never sick and never hospitalized. The rumors of Maya Angelou being hospitalized began online at TMZ.com, an established celebrity gossip site who apparently made a mistake.
Since TMZ.com's information is normally reliable many legitimate online news websites reported Maya Angelou's hospitalization as fact, causing hardship and heartache for Maya Angelou and her family and friends.
