A little boy who may or may not have been in a balloon yesterday (spoiler alert: he wasn't) captured the heart of all America - which gave B-rated celebrities a chance to think people cared about their opinion on the topic (spoiler alert: we didn't).

Falcon Heene may have been found safe and well in his parents' Colorado home, but when it was being reported that the 6-year-old boy might be floating through the sky in a silver balloon, celebrities pledged to help.

"Me and and couple of dudes are up in airwolf trying to track balloon boy down," Fall Out Boy rocker Pete Wentz wrote on his Twitter account shortly before authorities discovered the youngster never left his home. "Well chopper tow him in."

Later, the bassist admitted he had nothing to do with the super helicopter from the 1980s television series, once a fan noted the boy had been found.

"sweet cos i dont really own airwolf it went off the air in the 80s i think," Pete wrote.

Kirstie Alley jumped for joy when she heard news the little boy was OK.

"YAYYYY..THE LITTLE BOY ON THE BALLOON IS ALIVE AND WELL!!!" she wrote. "YAYYYY..happened to a friend of mine.Hid under bed,when bad, fell asleep,PANICK!!" (Access Hollywood)

Dear god, Kirstie Alley jumped! Screw the boy in the balloon, we've got a national tradgey on or hands - who knows what size earthquake that caused, and the ripple effect might be hitting us all in the near future. Get underneath doorways people, this is not a drill. THIS IS NOT A DRILL
