TMZ is constantly being updated by the hour. Not only is it a blog, but they also give bus tours in Hollywood, and the paparazzo have their own TV show of their encounters with celebrities while taking these photos.
Many of the online posts that TMZ uploads are very humorous. The tone portrays a sense of mockery towards certain kinds of celebrities. Big headlines include, Lindsey Lohan, Charlie Sheen, Lil Wayne, and Tom Cruise. For the most part, TMZ likes celebrity news on lawsuits, arrests, and divorces. The managing editor for the site, Harvey Levin, is a lawyer-turned-journalist which may be a factor as to why TMZ focuses a lot on these three main topics.
Obviously this site is for entertainment purposes only. It provides information to readers who spend their spare time surfing the web and informs them on the lives of celebrities. TMZ has rapidly gained popularity and as mentioned above, have branched out through television and celebrity tours. The mindless act of surfing the web for celebrities has now turned into a serious business venture for TMZ!
I am with you on this blog. I have this weird thing for keeping updated with celebrities. I dont know what it is about the ruck and famous that is so appealing? TMZ is defiantly a hilarious site and the television show is equally as funny. Good post!
ReplyDeleteI am not usually one to follow celebrities personal lives, however I have been a victim of believing things I read in magazines or on TV even though it could be completely false. Many websites like TMZ exaggerate stories or pictures to make the viewers believe certain things. I agree with your decision about this particular blog being about entertainment, because I don't see any true hard facts!
ReplyDeleteI do not usually follow celebrities, but its hard not to read the covers of magazines when your shopping. From just reading the cover I automatically believe what it says. Its good that you are saying that this blog IS for entertainment and you don't believe everything it says. Great blog!
ReplyDeleteUsually Celeb wise like a lot of people I do not religiously follow Tmz but I seem to constantly find myself looking on their site when I am with nothing to do. Especially late at night when the TV show comes on I usually tune in just for some of the funny comments all of them make. Good blog
ReplyDeleteLike you, I love the celebrity gossip. Some would say it's a pointless obsession but I can't help myself. I read TMZ a lot as well and think that you nailed it when it came to talking about the blog itslef!
ReplyDeleteSeems like it is a good blog to get into, and follow on a basis. Good conclusion of what the purpose might be. Perhaps another purpose is also for advertisements, and money, along with the entertainment? Because the blog still get publicity from these celebrities entertainment, and could be a goal behind all the posts as well.
ReplyDeleteGreat job!
