Get out your lashon hara meters

Heard about this on yestetday’s Pardon the Interruption.

From Newspostonline.com:

Going by the unprecedented gain acquired through the Tiger Wood’s tale, TMZ has decided to launch its full fledged sports website TMZSports.com may be very early next year.

Woods is said to be main inspiration behind the thoughtful decision of the blog to venture into the sports site. He once shared the celebrity status on TMZ gossip website along with other stalwarts such as Angelina Jolie and Alec Baldwin from other entertainment sections.

The detailed publishing of the transgression stories of Woods has very much increased the traffic for the blog phenomenally. This would have prompted the promoters to understand the booties involved in publishing about the stories of the sports persons, their achievements, romances, infidelities, drug addictions, celebrity stories and almost everything about their personal lives. TMZ is ready to offer a lot of money to get the rights to publish the spicy stories about the sports celebrities.

According to Bill Bastone, the editor of ‘The Smoking Gun’, once functional, TMZSports.com will be a leading channel offering huge amount of cash in exchange for tip offs and stories about the famous sports personalities likeTiger Woods.

PTI co-hosts Michael Wilbon and Tony Kornhesier pointed out that now athletes will treated like the rest of the entertainment world. Stories that might previously have been kept on the back burner now come to the fore as paparazzis and any nut with a cell pone camera will be looking to catch them doing something wrong.

Not that there aren’t plenty of sites and blogs just for sports gossip, but the TMZ brand carries a whole new level of sleaze.

And the gossip will fly.

By the way, according to the “Signs of the Apocalypse” column in this week’s Sports Illustrated,”Tiger Woods was mentioned on the cover of the New York Post for 20 consecutive days, surpassing the 9/11 attacks (19 days) for the longest streak in the paper’s history.”
