Nicole Richie Fears TMZ
The New York Times has an article today about celebrity news site TMZ. 
TMZ has been so quick to get scoops, and has broken a lot of big Hollywood stories. It’s accuracy and reliability is changing the way tabloid news is done, and this is freaking some celebs — including Nicole — out.
From the article:
Even Hollywood criminal lawyers concede that dealing with TMZ has now become part of their legal strategy. Shawn Chapman Holley, who represents Nicole Richie, acknowledges that TMZ’s ability to get information has affected strategic decisions in Ms. Richie’s drunken-driving case.
“When we approach the bench, what we know and when TMZ will know it is a factor discussed with the judge,” said Ms. Holley. “Miss Richie’s case would be set for a particular day and to throw off TMZ.com, I would go in a day before. Unfortunately, TMZ.com figured out my strategy and were there when I arrived. So now I’m trying to figure out some other strategy.”
In the article, TMZ compares themselves to NBC in terms of news quality. They also say that they are THE news source for celebrity news. People apparently agree because it has been ranked the number one celeb site on the web for nine months.
How do you guys feel about this? Is TMZ ruthless, or is it fair because it tries not to post fabricated stories?

I think tmz is a great site, it doesnt post stories that are untrue it gets the facts unlike all the other sites. If I was a celebrity I would like tmz because i know that is one place that wouldnt make lies about me.
