On a side note, speaking of "abnormal" and cryonics, apparently Britney Spears wants to sign up with Alcor: http://www.thaindian.com/newsportal/entertainment/britney-spears-wants-to-be-frozen-after-death_100369339.html

I think this can be filed under "any publicity is good publicity".

I'm surprised. Last time it was Paris Hilton and it turned out not to be true, but it looks like there's more detail this time.

This claims it's a false rumor.

That only cites a "source close to the singer" compared to the detail given by the original rumour. However given the small prior probability of this being true I guess it's probably still more likely to be false.
