It's just a bunch of "normal" young folks saying what celebrities are up to, and seems to dump on the dumb danger-creating paparazzi as much as it plays one of them. Different strokes...

And if we are stuck with this gossip/celebrity culture, they might as well get the tapes to us in near real time. It almost puts a human face on the Paparazzi to me, which ain't easy!

I can't watch another minute of Britney Spears pumping gas or some D list celebrity cussing at their cameras in a drunken slur. I don't care if its top rated or not - this is simply the worst thing on TV! This show is disgusting!

That rules out my theory that it's a generational thing. I'm not in the demo either, and I find the show unwatchable...incredibly boring after more than a few minutes. The triviality of it is what really gets to me quickly. Barney, you’re not in that younger demo? That rules out my theory that it’s a generational thing.

But their show runs after our Fox 10p news, and it's hard to turn away! It's fun, fresh, different and not just full of scandal but salutes celebs when they do nice things, etc. I'd rarely if ever pick up anything but People, maybe, to leaf through at the checkstand, but ... they basically have built the show around a variation of the AM news meeting (pitches, etc.) and ... I think it works, and I'm NOT in that younger demographic. I’m NOT a gossip-hound - I’ve been to TMZ’s Website maybe twice, and not on purpose.
