Troy was leaving Red O restaurant in L.A. when he broke the news.

It's pretty unusual for a celeb to spill the beans before ABC makes its official announcement ... so if he was being serious, there might be some hell to pay down the line.

Calls to ABC have not yet been returned.

UPDATE: Apparently, Troy was kidding ... and posted the following message on his Twitter page -- "I will not be on DWTS ... interferes with American Idol auditions."

In the photos -- which were taken around 6:15 PM on Tuesday at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh -- you can see the plane veer to one side while attempting to land ... and then violently crash.

Roush -- who's the owner of Roush Fenway Racing -- and his only passenger Brenda Strickland were both transported to a local hospital and treated for non-life threatening injuries.

Apparently, somebody forgot to remove Bush from the Heisman count the first time around ... so they posted a brand new media guide online this morning ... with the anti-Reggie math.

As everyone on the planet reported -- USC is removing all traces of Bush from the university after the NCAA ruled that Reggie received improper benefits while playing for the Trojans.

According to our friends at ProFootballTalk.com -- which broke the story -- Owens signed a one year deal and will earn a base salary of $2 million ... with an opportunity to make an extra $2 mil if he hits certain performance-based incentives.

We spoke to T.O. yesterday in L.A. - and he told us he definitely wants to play for a contender (and alongside his buddy Chad Ochocinco) -- but the money's got to be right too. Owens made $6.5 million last year in Buffalo.

Earlier today, a self-shot camera phone nudie pic began circulating on the web -- but Bennett's rep tells us the NFL star has no idea who could have posted it ... or when it was even taken.

Bennett's rep tells us they're pretty confident the mystery poster is not a bitter ex-GF ... telling us, "Martellus has been single – openly single – for quite some time."

It all went down -- hard -- during a skate demonstration at the Action Sports Weekend event at Downtown Disney's Main Plaza in Anaheim, CA -- where Tony attempted to land a 540 ... and failed.

Tony was forced to roll on over to the UC Irvine Trauma Center, where according to Tony's blog, he was treated for a sheared pelvis and hematoma.

LBJ decided to party it up at TAO Las Vegas at the Venetian Hotel and Casino last night.

Owens is famously tight with current Bengals star WR Chad Ochocinco and has expressed interest in the past about joining the squad.

The Dallas Cowboys legend was leaving STK in L.A. last night when we asked him about Johnson -- who's currently in Nicaragua to compete on the next season of "Survivor."

Piven shot alongside L.A. Lakers hero Rick Fox ... who missed all three of his attempts.

Rogers made the call around 11:08 PM on July 15 -- warning that he was following a car that was swerving all over Interstate 71 ... and had blown a tire after smashing into the center divider.

During the call, Rogers directs law enforcement to his exact location -- and when the perp's car came to a stop in the middle of traffic, Rogers pulled up behind the other ride and activated his emergency lights to prevent a collision.

The suspect was eventually arrested on suspicion of DUI after blowing "extremely high" on a breath test.

Rogers was hailed as a hero by the local chief of police -- who sent the NFL star

A source with knowledge of the inquiry says Ingram attended the party on May 12th at District nightclub. Ingram was photographed (left) at the celebration for college stars who had just been drafted by NFL teams -- including Florida's Joe Haden (center).

Ingram is a returning junior this year and we're told the NCAA wants to know if agents paid for anything involved with his DC trip -- which could be a violation of NCAA rules.

The University of Alabama says Ingram is on the up and up. The Compliance Department tells us, "Mark asked if he could visit Joe Haden at his home in Baltimore. We checked with the NCAA and they approved this trip as long as Mark provided receipts for his expenses."

It's unclear whether those receipts were submitted, but clearly the NCAA has unanswered questions.

Seismologists warn of a massive crack near the ocean floor.

A source closely connected to Georgia's athletic department tells TMZ the wide receiver allegedly attended a party at the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami on Memorial Day weekend. Partying alone isn't a crime under NCAA rules -- Green is 21 years old -- but if someone (like an agent or financial advisor) paid for anything related to Green's trip ... that could be a violation.

We're told a member of the coaching staff spoke directly to Green to ask him about the party -- and he denied being in Miami at all that weekend.

According to SI.com the NCAA plans to look into sports agent violations at UGA. It's unclear if Green is part of that investigation.

The University's Compliance Department told TMZ on Tuesday, "This is the first we've heard of anything involving A.J. Green."
