I am not buying a TMZ story until it is at least corroborated by the Weekly World News.

They trade in celebrity gossip/crime stories, so there's a substantial element of cheese and salaciousness in their reporting. OTOH, they broke the MJ death about an hour before everyone else. They had the Travolta extortion plot days before anyone else. They had the Prejean sex tape right. In short, they seem to be a whole lot more accurate than CBSABCNBCMSNBC.

I personally enjoy the site because they show celebrities in their natural habitat, warts and all - very much unlike the traditional broadcast networks and cable outlets who also produce movies and broadcast sporting events who tend to gloss over the most incriminating or damaging stories of their own cash cows.

You were saying ...

We need it confirmed by at least three more tabloids, so we can get some more juicy gossip out of it... LOL...
