And no, TMZ isn't a force for good. They are a celebrity gossip rag that pays for tips, scoops, pictures, and videos. They are not nice people. But they are generally spot on because they pay the people no one notices - servers, cabbies, janitors.
I remember when Kobe died, no one I know was surprised TMZ broke the story. It's a paid citizen snoop force.

@Cosmichomicide I feel like I should be wearing lab gloves if I look at their site.
But I occasionally do, because I am apparently a grubby little gossip-hound.
