Anybody heard of tmz.com? If you are not familiar with it, a description from Wikipedia:

Quote:

TMZ.com is a celebrity gossip website which debuted in December 2005, and is a collaboration between AOL and Telepictures Productions, a division of Warner Bros. (all of which are owned by Time Warner). TMZ's managing editor is Harvey Levin, a law graduate-turned-journalist who got his start as a legal expert on LA's KCBS-TV.

The letters TMZ stand for thirty-mile zone, referring to the "studio zone" within a thirty-mile (48.3 km) radius of the intersection of West Beverly Boulevard and North La Cienega Boulevard in Los Angeles.

While positioning itself as an independent celebrity news site, the site is more widely regarded as a tabloid journal (it has a mostly humorous approach to its reporting). The site claims that it does not pay for stories or interviews. Levin has stated that, "Everything is researched and vetted for accuracy." A companion TV series, TMZ on TV, debuted on September 10, 2007.

I think by watching some of their stuff on youtube, I get a great laugh.

It's a typical celeb gossip site, but this seems to be my fave.

My mother and brother are GLUED to the TV when the Fox Network version comes on. I like that they occasionally find famous people who aren't as active these days. But I usually don't watch it because I'm in one of my routines

I skimmed through it and saw an article about a baseball coach I've never heard of eating a sandwich.

Celebrity gossip is just not for me :lol:

The TV show is entertaining. I see the TMZ bus tour driving around a lot in the summer especially. I've talked to some of their "reporters" while out and about in Hollywood and Beverly Hills.

I go on TMZ a few times a day, just to see the happenings in pop culture world. More out of bordum than interest.
