I can't help you there. I took the links in your post as legit and followed up with a search about the band. If Radar was lying, it's not my responsibility.
Looking at some of their headlines, it does look like they are trying to be "satirical" with headlines like "Britain's Lady Cops Dressing Like Simon Cowell," "Deborah Gibson Embraces Her Has-Been Status" and "Lindsay Lohan Reports to the Morgue," but you could have put some kind of "satire warning" on this.
OMG

The stuff about Poker face is not satire. And only their headlines are jokes, they aren’t a humor site like the Onion or something.
BTW, even though it appears that the Jane’s Addiction thing was a joke, I greatly appreciate you trying to set me straight.
