Nikki Finke Gets Hoaxed By ‘Exclusive’ Hollywood Tip

PageSix: Entertainment blogger Nikki Finke was the victim of a Hollywood hoax involving one of her recent scoops, Page Six has learned.

Finke, who’s locked in a bitter battle with her former site Deadline.com, launched competing NikkiFinke.com in June and posted an “exclusive” in the site’s first week that Max Landis — son of John Landis — was rewriting long-gestating “Ghostbusters 3” with a “three-week turnaround.” That post was hastily taken down after Landis denied the report as having “zero truth.”
