Seriously. I think he crawled out of the gutter in Times Square and The People's Court signed him up for a full time gig.
And then he gets some funding from AO-fucking-L and he's all of a sudden an expert on celebrities and their goings on. TMZ is only about dirt. TMZ only wants to show "celebrities" when they're down.
Take for example this story. Now, I have a very good friend who worked for Richie's agent for years and I would think the personal stories she has are a tad more accurate than the interns TMZ has scanning mug shots and police reports. And after "some research" they found that, hey, Richie might not have endangered his kid and release some lame attempt of a retraction (on a Saturday!). But it doesn't matter. It's already out there and people think he's a bad dad and should have his kid taken away. Not that public opinion matters, right? Truth is that Richie is one of the nicest people you will meet, got taken advantage of by the ex-whore of Charlie Sheen and has been trying to get his life back on track. But the love for his kid has always been his number 1 priority.
Fuck you, Harvey. Fuck TMZ. You could care less about ruining a person's life, only about the page views. Wonder what your goons will shoot when they finally do destroy someone. And I have no doubt it will all be "caught on camera".
