If there's a problem with entertainment reporting, it's that the balance between entertainment and reporting too often tips in the wrong direction.

Meanwhile, thanks to the Internet -- you know, the series of tubes that you're using to read this -- bad information travels around the world with what used to be called lightning speed, back when we thought there was nothing faster than lightning.

So after hearing over a lunch with Alex O'Loughlin, the Aussie who's playing a vampire in CBS' "Moonlight," that he isn't actually the son of the late Bon Scott, of AC/DC fame -- as you might think, if you got most of your information from Wikipedia and the since-corrected IMDB.com (which, let's face it, some of us have been known to do) -- I thought he might want to clear that up in front of a couple of hundred reporters.

O'Loughlin admits he relished the rumor when it first popped up, at least until his mother called, unhappy at being branded a "groupie" and a "hussy."

No word on what his actual father thought, but since he teaches astronomy and physics at a private boys school in Sydney, while Scott is mostly famous for having died 27 years ago after a night of heavy drinking, I'm guessing he's just glad he wasn't the AC/DC guy.

Some reports, by the way, suggest Scott choked to death on his own vomit, but I wasn't there, and I'm tired of repeating rumors about people I don't even know.
