Radiohead Dragged into Wall Street Hoax
Filed under: Music, Celebrity Justice
Word spread like wildfire among thousands of "Occupy Wall Street" protesters today -- Radiohead was about to perform a FREE concert for the demonstrators -- but turns out it was a cruel joke.In case you're not up on low finances -- Wall Street has been overrun with protesters, who are complaining about sweeping injustices in corporate America.
Somehow, word got out that Radiohead would perform a concert for the demonstrators -- and it snowballed ... fast ... with multiple news outlets picking up the story.
Problem is ... no one told Radiohead -- so the band released this statement: "We wish the best of luck to the protesters there, but contrary to earlier rumuors, we will not be appearing today at Occupy Wall Street."
No word where the bogus announcement started.

A diamond isn't always forever ... sometimes it's only for 6 months -- especially for Hugh Hefner's ex-fiancee Crystal Harris ... who just put her engagement ring on a pretty famous auction block!

According to the listing, the ring is expected to sell somewhere in the range of $20 -$30k.
Sources close to Crystal tell us ... the former Playboy model "couldn't bear to look at the ring anymore because it brought back bad memories."
Think how the guy who paid for that rock feels ... right, Hef?

Filed under: Rob Kardashian, Cheryl Burke, Dancing with the Stars, The Kardashians
Rob Kardashian is like one of Pavlov's dogs ... a little praise from "Dancing with the Stars" judge Carrie Ann Inaba has him thinking he's got a shot to win the whole competition.
After Rob danced the jive on Monday ... Carrie Ann said, "It's official. Rob Kardashian is a better dancer than Kim Kardashian!"
Now sources close to the show tell us Rob is hitting the gym daily, practicing harder than ever -- and sucking up to his partner/teacher Cheryl Burke by bringing her lunch each day.
Rob's new attitude is a 180 from a few weeks ago -- when he was a total slacker.
What a difference a jive makes.

Rival Maccabee Producer: We're Gonna Beat Mel Gibson!
Filed under: Mel Gibson, Movies
Mel Gibson's Hanukkah movie is in trouble -- TMZ has learned, another company is currently making their own Judah Maccabee film ... and they're racing to beat Mel to the punch.
Sources close to the production tell us, the untitled Judah film -- by producer Bruce Nash and writer Scott Abbott -- was fast-tracked once news broke that Mel was putting together his own Maccabee homage.
We're told Nash believes Mel is the wrong person to helm such an important Jewish story -- telling friends, the Hanukkah tale should be told by someone who has respect for the Jewish community.
As we previously reported, Mel's been developing his J Macc film for 10 years -- and sources tell us Nash has been working on his for 15. Nash doesn't have a shoot date yet, but the race is on.
Shana Tova!
