Everybody Makes Mistakes
And Now It's TMZ's Turn.......
In case you're not familiar with TMZ it is a show that comes on the Fox Station and is about celebrities. The "TMZ" is supposed to stand for "Three Mile Zone" which I'm guessing has to do with the area around Hollywood.
The show includes things like celebrity gossip, celebrity photos and celebrity headlines.
How it seems to operate is that the celebrity gossip stories with the most interest are the ones that are mentioned on the show. What seems to get a lot of interest are the celebrities who are trying to avoid the photographers and papparazi and those celebrities that say something wrong or stupid in front of the cameras.
So it came as quite a shock to me that this show would mention a little gem of a secret that has to do with the papparazi itself. Since there are a lot of those who are considered "papparazi" make their money by getting celebrity photographs any potential "secret" that could get in the way of them getting their celebrity or "money-making" shot could be very damaging to them professionally as well as financially.
This episode aired a few days ago and I am surprised that nobody has caught on to it. It is a potentially valuable piece of information that celebrities can use to help avoid getting photographed by the papparazi. It may not stop the papparazi completely but it will give them "pause" for thought! If they can't get that "shot" then they can't get paid!
Just think about how much fun the celebrities would have if they knew this bit of information. I thought maybe that some eagle-eyed assistant might have caught it but so far I haven't seen any evidence of it.
Someone like Britney Spears would probably love to have this kind of information judging by the number of times I have seen her being surrounded by the papparazi.
I'm wondering if any of TMZ's competition knows about this little secret that TMZ has let loose?
When this information comes out it will cause quite a stir in the celebrity and papparazi worlds!
It will even give the celebrites a chance to fight back or get their revenge from the papparazi........
And who do we have to thank for this?
TMZ!
January 2009 Update!
It's just amazing what kind of information that one can find online! I have already mentioned about one way that the celebrities could possibly decrease the ability of the paps and here I find yet another way to help "discourage" such a camera frenzy! This would be a GREAT way for the celebrities to make the photogs mad! It is a great idea!
I have been ready online about allegations that TMZ is getting people to use video cameras to provoke celebrities plus there are rumors of current investigations pending.
2/20/08 - Update: One the average - TMZ gets around 631,530 hits per day! and still nobody has mentioned the "mistake" that they broadcasted. Could it be that I was the only one that saw it?
