CBS News Logo Harvey Levin: TMZ reported Nancy Reagan’s death before her own daughter knew
TMZ has developed a nearly unparalleled reputation for breaking the news of the deaths of celebrities and luminaries before other outlets -- and, to hear founder Harvey Levin tell it, sometimes even before family members. That's exactly what happened, according to Levin, earlier this year with the passing of Nancy Reagan. TMZ was able to break the story before even the late former first lady's own daughter knew of the passing. Former first lady Nancy Reagan dead at 94 "I was at the gym on Sunday, and Patti Davis, [Reagan's] daughter came up to me and asked 'How did you get this before I found out?'" Levin said Wednesday at the Code Conference, according to Recode. As a means to mollify the grieving Davis, Levin told her, "We got a tip, and it happens to be someone I know, and we started making calls," he explained. But apparently that wasn't good enough. "She said, 'What did you do?'" Levin was a bit mystified. "It's like, 'Patti, do you think I paid Betsy Bloomingdale?' We … [Read more...] about CBS News Logo Harvey Levin: TMZ reported Nancy Reagan’s death before her own daughter knew

Shkreli, who is the owns the only copy of the Wu-Tang album "Once Upon a Time in Shaolin," created a video in which he threatened to remove all of Ghostface Killah's work from the album.

"Most people don't ever try to beef with me," warns Shkreli. "Do you know why? Why do you guys think?" Shkreli turns to his hype men and one shouts, "They ain't stupid!" while Shkreli responds, "Because my buddy [Ghostface] is that dumb." "That's a big mistake," Shkreli continues. "You're trying to reclaim your spotlight from my spotlight. That's not going to work, Ghost." Then Shkreli threatens to erase Ghostface from the album. "You're my son," he says.

Investigation exposes how TMZ gets the celebrity scoops
Entertainment news website TMZ has broken some of the biggest celebrity scandals, including actor Mel Gibson's anti-Semitic comments during his drunk-driving arrest, Michael Jackson's death and a phone recording capturing racial comments by former Clippers owner Donald Sterling. The website also posted video of Baltimore Ravens' running back Ray Rice hitting his fiancé, and another in the same year of Beyonce's sister, Solange, attacking Jay-Z in an elevator. But now, the celebrity gossip powerhouse is in the hot seat, thanks to an investigation by The New Yorker magazine. In the article, "The Digital Dirt: How TMZ gets the videos and photos that celebrities want to hide," writer Nicholas Schmidle investigates how TMZ gets the celebrity scoops. Schmidle spoke to over a hundred employees off the record for the investigation and also had leaked TMZ emails that showed how tips flow in and operate.

TMZ: Stripper hit Ravens WR with giant champagne bottle after Bryant McKinnie’s birthday party
Per TMZ: Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Jacoby Jones was hurt early this morning after a brawl erupted on a party bus filled with his Ravens teammates, TMZ has learned. It happened after a night of partying in Washington D.C. celebrating Bryant McKinnie's birthday. ... Our sources say a stripper named Sweet Pea is the one who hit Jacoby with a gigantic Ace of Spades bottle and this may have triggered the brawl. We're told the bottle smashed over his head and he was "bleeding everywhere." Jones has only three catches this season, but that doesn't mean you don't want him on your fantasy team. Approximately none of this is shocking, if true, by the way. We direct you back to a Q&A we did with McKinnie in 2009, when he was still with the Vikings, about his record label: Q I read you had some big thing in Miami over the summer. A Yeah, it was something called Miami Standup. It was special to the label. We wanted everyone in the industry to … [Read more...] about TMZ: Stripper hit Ravens WR with giant champagne bottle after Bryant McKinnie’s birthday party
TMZ’s Harvey Levin: O.J. Simpson ‘Confessed’ to Murder in 2006 Interview
Fox aired what it described as O.J. Simpson’s “Lost Confession?” Sunday night, but TMZ’s Harvey Levin has removed the question mark and is flat-out declaring the 2006 interview a full confession. The TMZ headline reads, “O.J. Simpson Confesses to Murder.” Obviously, Levin is not buying the interview in the way Simpson advertised it, as a cynical cash grab where he “hypothetically” recounts how the murder would have gone down “if” he did it.Levin explains, “He confessed. He said he was speaking hypothetically but very shortly into it, especially describing the night of the murders, he lapses into the first person.” Levin acknowledges that Simpson goes to “great pains” to use the word “hypothetically,” but once Simpson starts to talk about the actual murder — that began with a confrontation with his ex-wife Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman, a young man who was reportedly there to return … [Read more...] about TMZ’s Harvey Levin: O.J.
