TMZ
Definition
TMZ: A prominent American tabloid news website and syndicated TV show specializing in celebrity gossip, entertainment scoops, and viral Hollywood scandals, often credited with breaking major stories before mainstream outlets.
Originally an acronym for 'Thirty-Mile Zone,' referring to the historic radius around Hollywood where studios were clustered, now synonymous with paparazzi-fueled celebrity takedowns.
Examples
Caught myself doomscrolling TMZ at 2 AM again—turns out my life choices are weirder than the celeb feuds they cover.
TMZ just TMZ'd that pop star's latest meltdown; who knew glitter tears could go viral so fast?
Forget the news—TMZ is where the real drama lives, like that time they exposed a superhero actor's secret fast-food addiction.
She whispered, 'Don't TMZ me,' right before tripping into the fountain—classic rom-com fail.
