AOL Launches TMZ.com
Mike Shields
DECEMBER 08, 2005 -
AOL has officially launched TMZ.com, a Hollywood and entertainment-centric news site produced in conjunction with Telepictures Productions.
TMZ.com, which AOL officials had hinted at for several months, is named for a slang term which refers to the entertainment industry in Hollywood. The new site will feature a heavy dose of Hollywood gossip, including interviews, photos, and video footage of stars, along with industry news on movies, TV shows, and games.
In an effort to further feed the current American obsession with celebrities, the site also boasts of an expansive collection of archived star photos and videos, allowing fans to trace changing hairlines and waistlines of their favorites performers over the years.
Harvey Levin, the former executive producer of the syndicated entertainment newsmagazine "Celebrity Justice, will serve as TMZ.com's managing editor.
At launch, the site has signed on Revlon, Chrysler, Hilton Hotels and New Line Cinema as charter advertisers.
