Is TMZ Losing It's Charm?

Jamie Lynn Spears Is Pregnant

(breaking news story by TMZ)

More and more people are starting to complain about how TMZ is invading the privacy of celebrities.

Of course that hasn't meant that they have stopped doing it though and apparently the show has been so popular that a "spin-off" show is being created.

They recently showed an unflattering picture of Jennifer Love Hewitt's backside. This caused a small "uproar". Judging by the comments that have appeared there are more people who have blasted TMZ for showing the photo than who have not. JLH has said herself that she feels sorry for those women who already have a poor body image of themselves. The unflattering picture that was taken just makes things worse. Here is a link to JLH's Myspace Page.

Here is a list of criticism towards TMZ:

• AFTRA, the union that represents on-air television talent, has prohibited its members from working for TMZ on TV because the TMZ producers refuse to give talent standard union contracts
  
  
  • NO CONTRACT, NO WORK Order in Effect for ‘TMZ’
    Effective September 20, 2007, members of the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists are advised that TMZ Productions Inc., Harvey Levin Productions Inc., and paraMedia inc.—producers of the syndicated TV series “TMZ”—are not signed to an AFTRA contract covering this program. AFTRA members may NOT accept employment, including recording in-show and/or promotional announcements, on “TMZ” until and unless a fair contract between AFTRA and the producers is achieved. If you are contacted for employment on “TMZ”, please contact Joan Halpern Weise, Assistant National Executive Director, at 323.634.8174 (jweise@aftra.com) or David Besbris, Los Angeles Local Director of Television, 323.634.8116 (dbesbris@aftra.com). All calls are confidential.

• Broadcasting Stolen Material - TMZ was criticized for purchasing stolen items pertaining to the upcoming Indiana Jones 4. On October 2, 2007, IESB reported that a number of production photos and sensitive documents pertaining to the production budget were stolen from Steven Spielberg’s production office.[2] According to IESB, TMZ obtained some of the stolen property and were on the verge of running the story on its TV division until Paramount lawyers stepped in. After IESB broke this story, TMZ TV did indeed broadcast details about the Indiana Jones production budget on the October 3, 2007 program.

Hulk Hogan Getting A Divorce?

Is Hulk Hogan getting a divorce? According to my local news it was said that a reporter asked Hulk Hogan about his divorce and The Hulk didn't know anything about it.

Apparently it was his wife, Linda, who filed for divorce.

The most recent news story about it appears at E-Online.

So far there is no news as to what prompted Hulk Hogan's wife to file for divorce.

Currently her last post as of November 18, 2007 is an entry about her mother who has recently passed away.

You can add comments to her blog but the comments are moderated. I mention this because the blog says that she has received many comments about her mother passing away and that it will take some time for all the comments to be gone through.

Rosie O'Donnell's Personal Blog

Rosie O'Donnell's Personal Blog

I'm not too much of a fan of Rosie O'Donnell. At the beginning I was because she showed that you didn't have to look like a stick-thin model in order to be in the movies. I even liked her role in the movie "Exit To Eden". I liked the whole movie as a matter of fact because the message was as long as you are not hurting anyone - to each his (or her) own.

But lately she has become a little bit too outspoken for my tastes. I started not to like her when she berated Donald Trump. Now I know Donald Trump isn't a saint but if he is the owner of something he can do with it whatever he wants. He doesn't have to abide by anybody else's rules but his own!

Perez Hilton

Perez Hilton is a very good example of a blogger who has become famous and has been able to make a living because of their blog. He is a very good example that can be used for inspiration for those of you that are wondering whether or not one can become famous because of their blog.

Perez Hilton has his own celebrity gossip blog and he is becoming a celebrity of his own!

Read more about him on Wikipedia

He has said in his interviews that he started his blog because it was something that he loves to do and then his blog started to become popular. Then he started showing up on tv doing interviews and now he has his own TV show!

I have read online that he pulls in about $1 Million dollars a year! He has direct advertising on his website and he can ask for "top dollar" because his blog has become very popular!

Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan has a great deal of acting talent – so why does she keep finding herself in the media spotlight for drug- or alcohol-related offenses? According to my friend Dr. Harlan Kilstein, Lindsay just can’t handle success. And because she can’t handle success, says Dr. Kilstein, she’s sabotaging her life.

Is any part of you – even a small part – afraid of success? Unless you've been living on a deserted island without radio, television, or internet, you've probably heard of Lindsay Lohan's latest fiasco.

Just recently, Lindsay was arrested for driving while over the legal alcohol limit and for cocaine possession.

Of course, the best part was, she just got out of rehab.

Despite her wailing "It's not my cocaine" the police were not impressed.

Into the slammer she went.

It makes you kind of wonder...

She has good looks.

She has the admiration of hundreds of thousands of fans.

She gets to star in her choice of movies.

She's a pop music star with people buying everything she puts out.

She hangs out with all the Hollywood stars and all she has to do is wiggle her nose and gorgeous young men will come running.

So why is she addicted to drugs and alcohol?

I bet you know the answer.

Sometimes people can't handle success.

They fear it and self sabotage their lives.

Yep, that's what Lindsay is doing.

She's throwing it all away.

The people working with her in rehab are just leaving her in her trance.

No one has been able to break through this massive self sabotage.

Now, you know I'm NOT just talking about Lindsay Lohan here.

I'm talking about you.

I hope you aren't doing the drugs and alcohol she is, but almost everyone is limiting their life because part of them is afraid of success.

Too Legit To Quit - MC Hammer's Blog!

Monday, October 8, 2007 - There is no truth to the rumors going around that MC Hammer has died from a car accident. This seems to be an internet hoax and it has been report that MC Hammer posted to his blog last Friday!

MC Hammer's Blog

Well here is the first celebrity blog that I have put here.

It's MC Hammer's own blog! You remember MC Hammer don't you? If the term "too legit to quit" doesn't ring a bell then here is some more info about him.

According to his own blog, MC Hammer got started around 1986. He had a quick rise to fame but then he had a quick fall as well! He bought a multi-million dollar mansion, had a huge staff that also cost him a lot of money and his records were starting to fall in sales. He had to give up the mansion and his "star" fell.

But from reading his blog he has been making a comeback. There are lots of photos and videos on this blog. He does a lot of blogging from his sidekick and the man doesn't look like he is living too shabbily now.

He does go on tirades about the media and reporters and the music industry - which is the same industry that he is trying to get back into.

Welcome!

I was just browsing on the internet when I saw the mention of a celebrity blog. It took me quite a while to find it. Then I did a google search for celebrity blogs and didn't find anything - so I decided to start one of my own!
