Are those kids (cub reporters) at TMZ feeling the pressure yet?
Time Warner, Inc. took full control of the tabloid-style gossip show this past week and intends to rustle up some advertising bucks on the strength of TMZ's frenzied popularity.
Since its inception, TMZ has been run as a joint partnership of AOL and Telepictures (Warner Brothers Division).
Now, the gossip gab-fest will be solely owned by the corproate giant Time Warner, Inc.
One has to wonder if aspects of the TMZ reporting style will change overnight just like that or if there will be a slow freeze on newsbites (gossip) that may turn-off potential advertisers.
TMZ staff may find the long arm of the boardroom reaching down from above to set things right when necessary if the gossip mavens go awry with their tawdry tales of misbehaving on the celeb circuit (which may throw a few noses out-of-whack).
What role does Harvey Levin play in all this?
Is his devil-may-care attitude for real or just a well-crafted mask to shield his innermost self from the slings and arrows of a fickle back-stabbing business?
Enquiring minds want to know!
