Occupy Las Vegas Protestors Shout Down Erin Burnett’s CNN Show
During CNN’s pre-debate coverage, Erin Burnettwas audibly drowned out by boisterous Occupy Las Vegas protestors that shouted down her remarks by chanting “Banks got bailed out! We got sold out!” and “Hey hey, ho ho, corporate greed has got to go!”
“We’re seeing the American system in full swing,” Burnett exclaimed, being inundated by the overwhelmingly loud cacophony of the demonstrators.
Wolf Blitzer could barely contain himself and amusedly chimed in, “Occupy Las Vegas, that’s what they’re doing! Protesting, which is their right.”
“It’s nice to see all the different things that they’re talking about here,” Burnett sarcastically riffed as her show’s commentary became barely audible amongst the discord from the rabble.
Update: A tipster tells us that, given the situation of the live shot and location of the demonstration, the protesters had no idea who was on air as they were chanting.
Britney Spears Engagement Ring Pictures From Las Vegas
After news broke yesterday that pop singer Britney Spears was engaged to her boyfriend of three years, former manager Jason Trawick, we were dying to see the ring.
And Britney didn’t disappoint, celebrating her new betrothal (as well as Jason’s 40th birthday) at Planet Hollywood last night in Las Vegas.
Brit, who herself just turned 30 (check our her style evolution here!) looked pretty in a tan Herve Leger bandage dress as she and Trawick beamed for cameras next to Trawick’s gravity-defying birthday cake.
And Britney showed off her ring, of course: a dazzling three carat Neil Lane diamond, according to Us Weekly. The round stone reminds us of Anne Hathaway’s new diamond, no?

Darrell Armstrong Arrested: Mavericks Assistant Coach Arrested On Warrant From Las Vegas
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles County sheriff’s officials say an assistant coach for the Dallas Mavericks basketball team has been arrested on an outstanding warrant from Las Vegas.
Sgt. James Brown says Darrell Armstrong was arrested and booked Tuesday in a case involving non-sufficient funds. Details about the case weren’t immediately available.
Armstrong’s bail was set at $40,000, and someone posted it Wednesday morning.
Sheriff’s officials say Armstrong was a passenger in a vehicle that was stopped for a traffic violation in Marina Del Rey on Tuesday. A deputy determined there was an outstanding warrant for the 43-year-old.
The driver and another passenger were not detained.
The Mavericks declined to comment.
