LIVE EARTH: Concert in Rio cancelled?

A Brazilian judge has canceled Saturday's Live Earth concert in Rio because police said they do not have enough officers to guarantee crowd safety, according to the Associated Press.

However, organizers for Live Earth Brazil say they are trying to overturn the judge's order for the free show on Rio's Copacabana Beach that was scheduled to include performances from Lenny Kravitz, Macy Gray and Pharrell Williams. Cancelling the show would also end organizers' plan to host concerts on all seven continents on Saturday in an attempt to raise awareness of the problem of climate change.
