Although TMZ has gotten a bit fluffy on the TV version (which airs at 7:30 nightly) occasionally the kids who do Harvey Levin's bidding trigger a guffaw or two.
For example, when a posse of TMZ staffers cornered Erin Andrews last night outside a nightclub, the moment appeared to be brimming with possibilities.
Bruno had just uttered up an "F" bomb in a passionate moment during the dazzling semi-finals broadcast - and if fate were to smile on them - a probe into her gut reaction might turn up a delicious coupe for the No. 1 tabloid-style gossip show.
But, try as they would, Erin was a tough hoe to row.
Wait a minute, did I get that backwards?
Well, you get the drift, I expect.
When one of the cub reporters asked the former news anchor what she thought of Bruno's naughty slip of the tongue, she shrugged in an annoyed fashion.
Where did this riff-raff come from, she appeared to be thinking to herself, as she gazed on them with disdain.
"Well, the remark wasn't aimed at me. So, I don't care," she snapped coldly.
From the look on her face, you'd think she was afraid she'd catch some dreaded social disease, if she didn't keep her distance from these rude overbearing interlopers running interference during her festive night out on-the-town.
A couple of rapid-fire questions didn't manage to penetrate the Ice Queen either.
In the final analysis, Ms. Andrews came off a trifle standoffish.
A cold fish, was the impression I got.
Later, at the TMZ lair, three of the newsies in the bull room were asked one by one about their thoughts on her demeanor last night.
The poll was unanimous.
"Bit**," one twenty-something male blurted out when asked.
"Bit**," a female staffer added with an edge in her voice when the camera zoomed in on her.
"Bit**," another miffed employee piped up.
It was one of those precious TV moments that shall remain etched in my memory for many moons to come.
Just bitchin', dudes!
Meanwhile, Ms. Goody two-shoes returns next week to kick up her heels and scratch her way to glory.
