Is "she is gone" grammatically correct? as opposed to the I suppose more formal "she has gone"?

I hear it all the time, and some places I've looked at online say it is routine/grammatical.

If it is correct, does one convey something different from the other?

@perennialloner,

Usually you can say "she is gone" without direction, implying she's gone away, is dead.
"She has gone" is commonly used with a direction as in "she has gone home" or "she has gone to the airport"....
