She may be less known to the younger generation, but Gina Lollobrigida was one of the great film stars of the 20th century, which is probably why her death at the age of 95 may have caused a hectic confusion in the breaking news of the Tagesschau - and a clickbait page for additional chaos.
The photo confusion
The Tagesschau reported on the actress's death in a breaking news story, but in the first few minutes the wrong picture was accidentally used, which numerous users on Twitter documented with screenshots:
Instead of a photo of the actress, the Tagesschau apparently briefly showed a photo of the resigned Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht. This was corrected after a few minutes, but caused a lot of laughter online.

And clickbait beckons forever
When it comes to death reports, a certain clickbait site is not far away: If you enter “Gina Lollobrigida” in a search engine, you will often find this article among the first search results:

Apparently it was already spread on Twitter on Saturday evening (some search engines also show Sunday evening) that she had died, which is not true! The “mediamass” page, which can be seen as the source in the screenshot, is a special case: pre-generated reports about all kinds of celebrities.

Mediamass – A satire on Mass Media
The site Mediamass describes itself as a satire site. You can also read this yourself if you simply click on the link written in red in the article with the current addendum (see HERE ):
“The website mediamass.net is the medium for our satire, with which we want to draw attention to the mass production and mass consumption around us through humor, exaggerations and ridicule.
[…]
The 'Celebrity' section is a humorous parody of gossip magazines. Of course, none of these stories are true.”
There are plenty of articles about alleged death rumors on the site, for example about Sebastian Kurz , Helene Fischer and Jan Böhmermann - and also about Gina Lollobrigida . There are also other articles about celebrities there, all in the same style, all apparently current - but always fictitious and meant to be satirical .
However, there is no real satirical character in these ready-made articles, which declare the death of a prominent personality, in this case Gina Lollobrigida, to be a hoax; they only cause additional confusion among Internet users.
Conclusion
Therefore, pay close attention to reports: They should generally be confirmed by several reputable media outlets - and please also with the right illustrations, dear Tagesschau *wink wink*. If a single site claims the opposite, you should take a close look at what type of site it is - meant satirically, regardless.
Interesting in this context: According to circulating screenshots and an article, Greta Thunberg doesn't have to go hungry - she is the highest paid activist in the world.
Really? – Is Greta Thunberg really the highest paid activist in the world?
