I went to high school with a guy who now produces for TMZ. How would I describe him, you ask? Misogynistic, sexist, and incredibly popular.

That's it. I am coming out and saying it- I shall suffer the fires of hatred but I can't hold it in any longer.

1) I am sorry, I hate this woman. I don't feel sorry for her at all and do not think that TLC or anyone else needs to give her a show.

2) I hate TMZ and Perez just in case that my hatred of Nadya would equal me liking TMZ in anyone's mind.

3) I hate that the fact there is bailout money going to others is used to justify Nadya's or anyone else's use of government aid. This is such a "if everyone else jumped off a bridge would you" scenario.

4) Jezebel, you are like getting drunk on a Friday night and having a massive hangover Saturday morning. You seem like a good idea until I get here and then I just feel shitty afterwards. But I look forward to you anyways and keep coming back to your sweet sweet arms :)

I don't know, when you're irresponsibly holding your hand out for govt. aid, bailout or FOURTEEN KIDS (even if Angelina Jolie herself did that I'd be put off), SOME ridicule SHOULD be in order.

I never visit the site, and sometimes I, unfortunately, see part of the show whilst flipping channels. When I begin to hear some asshole photog scream at a celeb saying something asinine, I run for the mute or channel changer buttons. The sound... oh, the horrible sound of empty souls...

Someone should start a site snarking TMZ and following them around asking asinine questions.

I have to admit I watch TMZ every night. It's right after my Seinfeld re-runs and I can't help but look! It's the same kind of instinct that compels me to read trashy magazines sometimes, despite the fact that I am perfectly aware of their trashiness.

Never visit the website, though.

I find recently that I have lost interest in celebrities, and it is almost totally because the coverage of them, so frequently, looks like this.

@PilgrimSoul: Bump that statement up to, "nearly everything in mass media" and you'll have how I've been feeling for the past few months. Seriously, how long to we have to over-cover Jessica Simpson, the "Octomom", What Michelle Wears/ Eats/ Exercises/ Breathes, airline flights (regardless of the crew heroics), etc before the dank sponge of the societal mind begins to grow mold on the corner and leak dirty water?*

@goldengirl11 (is way too earnest): I think she was referring specifically to the crash where no one died -- you know, the water-landing in the Hudson? The one where the pilot is getting People covers and whatnot.

@Penny Plastic: I do too. I can't help myself, he's just too funny to avoid. I also think he tends to give pretty much everyone an equal amount of shit, so it makes me feel better. I've condensed all my gossip down to Jez and Dlisted at this point and I think that's not so bad...

@KittenFluff: Hopefully, and if so, I really am sorry- but Megan certainly wasn't when she posted this gem in the "News at 11" last Friday:

"if our tips line is any indication, y'all would really, really like to discuss the plane crash in Buffalo. The Sri Lankan government could be seeking foreign aid to set up concentration camps for more than 200,000 ethnic Tamil refugees, but 50 relatively privileged Americans died in a plane crash and it'll be headlines for days and days with photos of the fire and the tail being sprayed down and long obituaries to each nameless face that died in this accident that we can all look at and feel momentarily sad about while ignoring politics and world affairs."

Very sensitive. Not nameless when you have friends and family who have lost people they are close to on this flight. And we're just so privileged here in Buffalo. And yes, I know we are supposed to write the editors emails when we have issues with something they wrote, but last time I did, Megan's return email was excruciatingly condescending. I guess I just thought that pandorasmittens might have read that comment a week ago, and thrown "airline flights" in with Jessica Simpson's weight in agreeance with Megan's comments, which were pretty fucking awful.

I feel totally guilty now. I feel compelled to admit that I called her that on a post about a week or so back. I have to say that although I think what she's done is completely irresponsible, for no other reason then she does not have a job to support one kid let alone 14, I let my contempt for the situation and my ongoing desire for cheap laughs get in the way of my posting judgement. Add on the fact that I think she may have some psychological issues, and I feel really bad.

My occassional visits to TMZ is what taught me that (some) men are even worse body snarkers than the worst female body snarkers. It is a cesspit of misogyny.

@clevernamehere: Yeah, when we get someone over here being all emo about how dudes aren't all bad, perhaps we should just redirect them to the comments over there, or at YouTube.

It's like a litmus test of their qualifications as allies. If they return from the United States of Misogyny with anything less than a burning desire to hack their own nuts off, they may not quite be up to feminism's "respecting women" standards yet.
