I dont really follow rumor sites so I dont know if this is old news or not:

the article has an interesting blip about the new star trek

on a related note, the voyager rumor was that a recurring cast member would die. it was assumed that it would be a main character but they killed Lt Carrey so I think that clears up that rumor
