Tmz News Celebrities Knowledge Base
Would you support a day of no celebrity news? With so much going on in the world that really matters, celebrity news takes up so much time, money, and resources that could go to researching and investigating real issues. Instead, reporters scramble to talk about celebrities and help them sell tickets to their movies or song downloads, and so much time is given to them that could be given to something more substinative. How about all of the money that pays for all of this reporting that could go into investigating scandals, corporate and government greed and waste? Would you support a day where no one could mention celebrity news except only dedicated outlets like TMZ or People Magazine?

Who is the hot blonde guy on TMZ? On the TV show TMZ, there is a paparazzi/reporter who usually gives news regarding celebrities that they saw week after week. He's the one with the long blonde hair. He can pass as an A&F model. I looked but I didn't find any information about him.
How Far Is Too Far When It Comes To Celebrities And Their Privacy? I must admit that I am addicted to celebrity websites like perezhilton.com and tmz.com. I love the no-nonsense, tell it like it is celebrity news. Afterall we know that they're just like us and who doesn't like to see a celebrity fall from grace? But today they both posted the 911 tape from Kayne West's mother's death. I thought that it was utterly tasteless. But not only that they allowed people to comment on the tapes!! I know that this is how they make their livings but people come on! That's morbid and disrespectful. I don't care who her son is, sometimes you gotta know when to say enough is enough. Following Britney's crazy a** around is halrious. Listening to Kayne's mom dying in her bed-uh, not so much. What do you think? People like me are not the cause. Like you don't glance at a magazine in the checkout or watch E! News once or twice a week. We all do it. I'm saying enough is enough. So don't generalize your statement because you do not know what kind of person I am. I'm just admitting that I do what we all do: Watch celebs rise and fall. We all love to hate our favorite celebs. Look at Britney. You think that if her album didn't sell that those paparazzi's would be following her? You think that if she didn't open herself up to that kind of attention that people would care what she did? What I'm saying is that Kayne didn't put himself out there so why should his mother's death but plastered across the internet. He was the celebrity she was not. So while you sit back and say people like me are the reason that he tape is played for people to listen know that I thought it was rude, disrespectful, morbid, tasteless and I hope they get sued because I have a heart and I know when things go to far.
Did you hear the phone msg that Alec Baldwin left on his 11 yr olds cell phone? On the recording, Baldwin can be heard berating his 11-year-old, Ireland, "You are a rude, thoughtless little pig." "You don't have the brains or the decency as a human being," he says, apparently upset that she did not answer her phone for a planned call. "I don't give a damn that you're 12 years old, or 11 years old, or that you're a child, or that your mother is a thoughtless pain in the *** who doesn't care about what you do as far as I'm concerned. You have humiliated me for the last time with this phone." He goes on to say that he plans to fly from New York to Los Angeles "for the day just to straighten you out on this issue." The recording was published by celebrity news site TMZ.com, which said that the call was placed on April 11. Do you think he should lose his visitation rights that he is fighting so hard for in court?
WTH #1 p4p Floyd Mayweather in dancing with the stars? TMZ.com, the popular celebrity news site, has obtained a leaked list of the contestants for the next season of ABC's "Dancing with The Stars," and WBC welterweight champ "Pretty Boy" Floyd Mayweather Jr. is on the list. For months, there were whispers that Mayweather would be a contestant on the show, but there was no confirmation as ABC kept the names under lock and key. Former four-time heavyweight champ Evander Holyfield was the first boxer to appear on the show and now Mayweather follows his lead. Not a bad move by the pound-for-pound fighter in the world since the reality program is one of the most popular shows on televsion. The full list, according to TMZ, are Aaron Carter, billionaire Mark Cuban, former Spelling co-star Jennie Garth, "Incredible Hulk" Lou Ferrigno, Nia Peeples, CNN correspondent Richard Quest, model Giselle Bundchen, racer Helio Castroneves, Floyd Mayweather Jr. and "Cheetah Girls" star Sabrina Bryan. The official announcement of contestants is going to be made on ABC on Wednesday.
what do u think about this. man i cant wait until she turns 18 so cant hefner this is from www.tmz.com? Hefner Wants to See Hannah's Montanas Posted May 10th 2008 6:44AM by TMZ Staff Hugh Hefner doesn't get what the big deal is about 15-year-old Miley Cyrus showing a little skin. The Playboy founder told "Extra" (via NY Daily News) that he's open to having Miley really bare all and stop being a tease when she turns 18. Hef said the outcry over the Hannah Montana star revealing her back shows "how schizophrenic America is about sexuality." The spry 82-year-old is known for making public pleas to hot, young celebrities, to uncover their entire package. Hef said the Olsen twins, naked, together, is every young man's fantasy, but the bobble heads passed. Lindsay Lohan was even given the opportunity to pose for a spread after her stint in rehab, but opted instead for tame, nudie photos in NY Magazine.
help on essay about celebrity role models...10 pts!!? i need help with revising the second paragraph most. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!! Should Celebrities and Athletes take Responsibility in Being a Role Model? Why are there so many athletes and celebrities these days failing as role models? Should they bear any responsibility at all for being role models to society? After all, they are the people whom we look up to; especially children and young adults. At some point of our lives, (no matter how old) we have had some kind of role model, for most it was a celebrity or sports figure; a role model was anyone appealing. Now the sad thing is in today’s society, we put way too much emphasis on these role models. We manipulate or adopt what we see like clothing, behavior, hairstyles, and actions; the media. In other words, Hollywood sets the norms, and society follows. This is one of the reasons why it is critical that celebrities and athletes need to recognize their impact upon the public. Children are always watching and observing adult behavior partly because adults are the ones who have answers to questions. While parents can control what children are exposed to, they cannot completely shield children from the onslaught of Hollywood trends that flash in front of their eyes: commercials, billboards, movies, and on tv. “I am a role model and if I don’t step up or stand up for the issues that are important to the people, then I take just as much to blame as a 50 cent or a Snoop Dogg.” Rapper KRS-One once said during a telephone interview (McKevie 1). There are those celebrities out there who are willing to take the consequences and responsibility of their actions, and KRS-One is one of the few. As I was growing up, I remember that the major celebrities of that time were people like Britney Spears. I used to idolize Britney Spears like many others, up until the time she started going downhill. Back in the late 90’s, she was famous for her beauty, singing, and personality. But now she is popular for the opposite; to have a laugh out of her because of the sluttyness, drugs, and divorce, etc. When a junior high student was asked what he thought of Spears now, this is what he said: “I used to like Britney Spears when I was younger…I mean, she shaved her head for Pete’s sake. What’s going on with her?” (McKevie 2). So, why is it that the media publicizes more of the negative side of Hollywood? I think it is because in reality, people tend to be more interested and engaged in the Hollywood scandals. Hence, it also makes a lot of money and brings in millions of viewers. For example, the TV show, “TMZ” exposes celebrities and athletes in reality, and shows the ugly side of the famous. When it first aired on the Internet in 2005, it had 120 plus viewers per month, (an additional 9 million compared to “Extra” and “Access Hollywood”) (FOX news 1).

Celebrity Gossip in America? How do you feel about the Hollywood scene? Glamorous and exotic, crazy and trashy, I’d love to be in the middle of it, I like to enjoy it from afar, it’s fun to keep an eye on? What does visiting sites such as perezhilton.com, tmz.com and wwtdd.com do for you? Does it make you feel connected to celebrities, do you use it as an example of which to live (or of which not to live), do you like to make fun of the ridiculousness? How often do you visit celebrity gossip websites? Once a day, multiple times a day, when I think about it, once a week, when something big happens involving the entertainment industry? Have you ever commented on one of the articles? Think about the possibility of you being able to interview any famous person (living or dead). Is the person you picked well known for acting, singing, an entrepreneur, an heir(ess), a fashion designer, news anchor? Why would you choose to interview that person? Are you more likely to go to websites or printed news for current events?
Have you read this? The young star is in a fight for her life against mental illness. By Asra Q. Nomani February 12, 2008 I'll never forget the first time I saw my brother strapped to a gurney. I was just a teen, and he'd been diagnosed with schizo-affective disorder, an illness akin to schizophrenia that causes mood swings, psychosis and violent outbursts. Our family had just committed him for psychiatric treatment, and I wept, shouting into the air, "I want my brother back." At home, my parents sobbed. But at least we went through this anguish in private. So it's impossible for me to find any entertainment value in the public harassment of Britney Spears, who was released from the psychiatric ward of UCLA Medical Center last week. And as a journalist, I doubt there is news value in it either. Mental illness doesn't always elicit compassion; it's hard to see, so it's hard to understand. Perhaps in the wake of Spears' breakdown, California mental health advocates will lobby to change the state's involuntary commitment laws so that those who are sick get treatment, even if they don't realize how badly they need it. In the meantime, all of us should reflect on the fact that we wouldn't be so cruel to somebody diagnosed with another disease. Would we make a sideshow of someone with a brain tumor? It's easy to blame the paparazzi and celebrity gossip websites, and, granted, they are the worst. TMZ promoted a video of Spears crying with the headline, "Britney Spears on Suicide Watch?" Over a photo of Spears sitting on a curb after her fight with her manager, PerezHilton.com scrawled "Britwreck." But the mainstream media are complicit. After Spears' release (over the objection of her family), A.J. Hammer, host of CNN's "Showbiz Tonight," stumbled over the pronunciation of Spears' supposed medications; the words "Burning Britney Questions!" rolled across the bottom of the screen. "Britney's Mental Illness" was the cover of a recent People magazine. The Daily Telegraph's website featured this headline: "Mad Britney Spears detoxed by doctors," with a link, "See pictures of the drama here." By exploiting Spears' moment of vulnerability, media companies have crossed the line of basic moral decency. To me, this includes Wenner Media, owner of US Weekly and Rolling Stone, which just published an expose of Spears' mental illness, and even Barbara Walters, who recently reported on Spears' mental health issues on "The View." Enough. Time Warner Inc. (parent of CNN, People, AOL and Entertainment Weekly), News Corp. (the Rupert Murdoch firm that owns Fox News and papers around the globe) and others should halt all coverage of Spears until she is healthy. Let's leave Britney and her family alone. Responsible journalists long ago came to the ethical determination not to publish the names of rape victims or to air the most gruesome of terrorist videos. We can do the same here. We can get off this maniacal roller coaster that is Britney Spears coverage to remember one important fact: This is a 27-year-old in a fight for her life. My role model in this debate is photographer Nick Stern, who quit his job Feb. 1 with the Splash news agency because he couldn't stomach shooting the Spears story any longer. "It's not journalism. Sooner or later, someone's going to get killed," he told the Independent in London. "Possibly Britney herself." Even aspiring journalists are making the right call. At Georgetown University's School of Continuing Studies, where I'm a journalism professor, senior Erin Delmore walked off the set of a campus TV talk show. "I'm so done with the Britney coverage," she said. "End it." Last week, I wrote to my editor at People and told her that I couldn't continue working as a stringer for the magazine. I'm not being holier than thou. I wasn't always kind to my brother about his illness. I scolded and nagged him. I called him lazy when he didn't make his bed, unmotivated when he didn't get a job and uncaring when he forgot our birthdays. It's taken more than 20 years for me to understand, deep within my soul, that his mental illness is like a brain tumor, or cancer, or diabetes. It is a disease. It has symptoms such as anosognosia, which means that a person doesn't think they have an illness, and flat affect, which saps emotional expressiveness. Right now, there is no cure. When I realized not long ago how cruel I had been, I told my brother what I now tell Britney and her family: "I'm sorry."
