TMZ has learned there was a bomb scare today on the set of "The Green Hornet" with Seth Rogen.

It happened at a parking lot in the Mid-Wilshire area of Los Angeles. The crew found an unidentified metal object and called authorities.
We're told the LAPD bomb squad responded and blew up the object with a robot. It was not a bomb. Hopefully, the movie isn't either.

An attempt to win a Mountain Dew video competition has just landed three dudes in jail -- and the words "homemade," "bomb" and "parking garage" are the reasons why.

The three guys are now facing second degree felony charges after they allegedly set up bombs made out of "two liter bottles, fireworks and Styrofoam cups" on top of parking garage in Lakeland, Fla. on Monday. The bombs were props the morons were using for a video competition sponsored by Mountain Dew and the TV show "24" called "24 Seconds to Save the World."
Cops told us the morons turned themselves in after a parking garage attendant noticed the devices -- and then alerted pretty much the entire Lakeland law enforcement. The bomb squad ended up "neutralizing" one of the bombs and detonating the other.
The three amigos each face a charge of "making, possessing, throwing, projecting, placing, or discharging a destructive device or attempt to do so" -- a far cry from the $2,400 cash prize and trip to L.A. they were trying to win.

A large police force responded to a threat against popular celeb-stop Robertson Blvd. Friday, and while the bomb squad conducted their investigation, eatery the Ivy -- which was directly across the street -- didn't miss a beat. Their food must be da bomb!
Police cars blocked off the boulevard, while a legion of officers in protective outfits searched around Robertson Plaza. Meanwhile, the Ivy stayed busy, making sure food was served to their undaunted customers.
The LAPD had no information available as to why the bomb squad was at the scene.
