An Official Announcement Is Coming

Filed under: Exclusives! > Politik

afidel_castro.jpg

Sources reveal exclusively to PerezHilton.com that U.S. officials will be holding a press conference shortly to announce the death of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro.

South Florida police organizations are calling in reinforcements before the announcement is made, we're told.

PerezHilton.com was the first media outlet in the world to break the news of Castro's death. We posted THIS ITEM on it last week!!!!

A Cuban broke the story of the oppressive ogre's passing. We are soooo proud and happy!!!

We're so sad we can't be in Miami this weekend.

There's gonna be a big ol' party en Calle Ocho, mi gente!!!!

In the words of Gloria Estefan

"Quiero my Cuba libre pa que la gente pueda - pa que mi gente pueda bailar!"

Listen to this while you dance.

      They can say, anything they want to say but until its official im just going to label this news as a sweet, sweet fantasy baby. Because i would give my all for this to be true but who knows if it is. But just remember my little lambs, dont give up hope, even if hes not dead theres a hero, if you look inside your heart. You dont have to be afraid of Castro.

      This should be interesting…the Cuban foreign minister announced yesterday that he was doing fine and 'recovering well'…can't wait to see what happens next

      i vacation every winter in Cuba and find that the people there love their country and don't really have a problem with Castro. it's the people who no longer live there that are so reactionary, and after that incident where they tried to keep Elián González from being with his father in Cuba, i have a hard time respecting the opinions of Cuban americans.

    55. Lindsay says – reply to this


      55

      Of course you americans would celebrate with his death - why dont you all just shut up and look at your own stupid president - GEORGE BUSH should die! Hopefully Perez you celebrate when this happens.

It would be nice if America provided free housing, health care and post secondary education to their people…if ya'all werent so damn clueless maybe you might earn the right to visit the beautiful country of Cuba!

    96. Larry says – reply to this


      96

      The Cuban people know what Fidel did to them but they could never say anything, unless they lived in Miami and then they said plenty. Why did the world press maintain such a wall of silence around his oppression and suppression and around the truth that the Cuban people could not speak unless they were outside of Cuba? It was a great injustice all around, and there is blame to be placed everywhere. But maybe now at last Cuba can be free and prosperous, with normal political parties and elections, and can return to being what it once was, and always should be, the jewel of the Caribbean.
