TMZ is a celebrity news website that debuted on November 8, 2005. It was a collaboration between AOL and Telepictures Productions, a division of Warner Bros., until Time Warner divested AOL in 2009. The name TMZ stands for thirty-mile zone, the historic "studio zone" within a 30-mile (50 km) radius centered at the intersection of West Beverly Boulevard and North La Cienega Boulevard in Los Angeles, California.
TMZ's managing editor is Harvey Levin, a lawyer-turned-journalist who was previously a legal expert for the Los Angeles television station KCBS-TV. The site claims that it does not pay for stories or interviews; however, Levin has admitted that TMZ does "sometimes pay sources for leads on stories". Levin has stated that "everything is researched and vetted for accuracy." A companion television series, TMZ on TV, debuted on September 10, 2007.
Seven months prior to the official launch of TMZ, America Online (AOL) had hinted that it was planning to launch a Hollywood and entertainment-centric news site that would be produced in conjunction with Telepictures Productions and had shown interest in launching a website featuring a focus mainly on celebrities. At the time of the launch, AOL confirmed that the site would primarily feature and consist of Hollywood gossip, including interviews, photos and video footage of celebrities and information pertaining to industry news on movies, television shows, etc. The site was described as "an effort to further feed the current American obsession with celebrities". Mike Shields of MediaWeek.com wrote, "the site also boasts of an expansive collection of archived star photos and videos", allowing fans to "trace changing hairlines and waistlines of their favorites performers over the years".
Amelia Mary Earhart (/ˈɛərhɑːrt/; July 24, 1897 – disappeared July 2, 1937) was an American aviation pioneer and author. Earhart was the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. She received the U.S. Distinguished Flying Cross for this record. She set many other records, wrote best-selling books about her flying experiences and was instrumental in the formation of The Ninety-Nines, an organization for female pilots. Earhart joined the faculty of the Purdue University aviation department in 1935 as a visiting faculty member to counsel women on careers and help inspire others with her love for aviation. She was also a member of the National Woman's Party, and an early supporter of the Equal Rights Amendment.
During an attempt to make a circumnavigational flight of the globe in 1937 in a Purdue-funded Lockheed Model 10 Electra, Earhart disappeared over the central Pacific Ocean near Howland Island. Fascination with her life, career and disappearance continues to this day.
Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr. (born September 27, 1982), better known by his stage name Lil Wayne, is an American hip hop recording artist from New Orleans, Louisiana. In 1991, at the age of nine, Lil Wayne joined Cash Money Records as the youngest member of the label, and half of the duo The B.G.'z, alongside fellow New Orleans-based rapper Lil' Doogie.

Hot Boys debuted with Get It How U Live!, that same year. Most of the group's success came with their platinum-selling album Guerrilla Warfare (1999) and the 1999 single "Bling Bling". Along with being the flagship artist of Cash Money Records, Lil Wayne is also the chief executive officer (CEO) of his own label imprint, Young Money Entertainment, which he founded in 2005.

His subsequent albums, Lights Out (2000) and 500 Degreez (2002), went on to be certified gold. Wayne reached higher popularity with his fourth album Tha Carter (2004), which was led by the single "Go D.J." and his appearance on Destiny's Child's Top 10 single "Soldier", that same year. The album was followed by Tha Carter II (2005), as well as several mixtapes and collaborations throughout 2006 and 2007. Wayne gained more prominence with his sixth album Tha Carter III (2008), which became his most successful album to date, with first-week sales of over one million copies in the United States. The album won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album and includes the hit singles "Lollipop", "A Milli" and "Got Money".

We talk to Billy Boyd about a new theory that Emilia Earhart actually died as a castaway and in a plane crash.
21 Savage hit the streets of NYC with hundreds of thousands of bucks, and he wasn't afraid to display it. The "Red Opps" rapper had an insane amount of cash left AFTER dropping a bundle at Avianne & Co Jewelers. Keep those hits coming, Savage ... you need the cash flow.

Rick Springfield has a love for dogs so there’s no surprise when he tells our photog there better be dogs in heaven because if there isn’t he would rather be in hell.
Kendall Jenner turned 21 with a bang Wednesday night, with a whole bunch of celebs and one of the most inappropriate/hilarious questions to Kylie.
Though he probably would if he knew what it was.
Our photog Charlie made quite the impression on Tyra Banks! She couldn’t help flirting with him and it was all because of his accent.
Wiz Khalifa was irritated Friday night, when the paparazzi tried to divert him from his mission of the night ... getting laid. Wiz was leaving Catch when the paps asked about his second favorite thing ... weed, but he wasn't havin' it! Full Story: http://www.tmz.com/2016/11/05/wiz-khalifa-paparazzi-weed/
Kris Jenner had some star power at one of her weekend birthday parties Friday night, but the big guns were nowhere to be seen. Kris celebrated #61 at Catch with Kourtney Kardashian, Scott Disick and his pal, Chris Brown. The actual birthday is Saturday. Here's to a more robust turnout!

Kevin James was at Billy's concert in Madison Square Garden and looked beyond PUMPED to be in the Piano Man's presence. Not only was he singing along to all his hits he even got to sing with Billy!
Steve Wilkos knows polling locations could look like an episode of 'Springer' this year -- with Trump and Clinton supporters so fired up -- but just like his old gig, he's ready for action. We got the talk show host at LAX and talked about the palpable tension leading up to Tuesday's vote. He agrees America's options might not be the best this time around, but as a former Marine ... he has an interesting perspective on what happens Wednesday morning.

James Corden isn't always the jolly host he plays on TV ... and that's probably 'cause he can't always get the guests he wants for his sing-along shtick. We got James leaving Craig's Sunday where he got short and defensive when asked what songs he would have sung with The Rolling Stones for "Carpool Karaoke" -- assuming the rumors he got snubbed by them are true. Watch -- he has another question on his mind entirely ... and a bitchy answer too.

You're sort of famous
a minor celebrity
and so it only makes sense
the world would be
obsessed with every
single thing you do
They're running 'round
with their camcorders in the night
they lurk impatienly
in hope that they just might
see something really embarrassing
you do
The bad hair day and sweat-stained t-shirts
that's the story that
they are gonna feature
with exclusive pics
of your flabby behind
you think you're all alone
but that's right when you'll find
A bunch of paparazzi
popping out of nowhere
cameras in your face
and then suddenly
you're on TMZ
you're on TMZ
Following you
when you're walking down the street
and asking stupid questions
while you're trying to eat
so you cover your face
thinking to yourself
"Hey, isn't this creepy?"
And they are there praying
you'll have a big meltdown
and take a mono-lethal car chase
through this whole town
they'll be there with you
when you're going to jail
first on the scene
for every wardrobe fail
You just picked up some transvestite
seconds later
it's up on the website
get a vegas wedding
a quickie divorce
and they'll be
sneaking in
snapping pictures, of course
And if they ever catch you
picking your nose
or storming down the street
in a drunken spree
you're on TMZ
Stalking you, just waiting by your front door
trailing you through
airport security
they were TMZ
they were TMZ
[We caught this oscar nominee picking up DOG POOP
is that a baby back there?
I pronounce you guilty, of leaving the house while FAT
Look Who's drinking COFFEE,
everything celebrities do is FASCINATING]
Oh, let me tell you
it's getting to the point
where a famous person can't
even get a D.U.I
or go on a racist rant
those guys are all around
so you really shouldn't dare
go to every club in town
if you just lost your underwear
Seems that every single time
a star decides to shave her hair
or ram their car into a tree
they're on TMZ
If they catch you peeing in the bushes
later on, that night
well, I guarantee
you're on TMZ
you're on TMZ
you're on TMZ
Every single celebrity
knows they're gonna be
