Me + TMZ = Frenemies for life

My feelings were always pretty neutral about TMZ. I wasn't a huge fan, but usually browsed the page daily, regardless. But after their obsessive-to-the-point-of-being-obscene minute-by-minute Paris Hilton-jail-fiasco coverage, I had to proclaim my absolute contempt and disgust. "I hate you, TMZ," I said. I didn't actually stop checking the site daily, though; I mean, when has absolute abhorrence of something ever stopped me from being curious about if before? And what do you know: today, they made me smile with this clever and quite humorous "what celebrities would look like in real life" gallery. (And by "in real life," they mean if they were overweight, with bad hair and ugly clothes.) Here's a sample:


Ashlee Simpson, Wal-Mart Manager/NASCAR collector, Daytona Beach, FL.


J.C. Penney portrait of Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones, your Albuquerque real estate professionals.


The Olsen Twins -- on a Twin Falls girls football team.

Good stuff. So I guess I don't hate you, TMZ. (I'm still pissed off about all that Paris coverage, though; that s**t was ridiculous.)
