The US celebrity tabloid ‘news’ TV show and website TMZ has started using mobile phone technology to live stream video of celebrity goings-on.
And it’s all a great success Alan Citron, general manager of TMZ tells Beet TV.
And the real crowd pullers?
A courthouse appearance by Hulk Hogan’s son and a two hour stream of a car park where Britany was expected to arrive.
‘Hypnotic effect’ of the car park kept viewers interested says Citron.
Glam – this celeb business.

just strange that millions of people can playback or enounce somebody’s life whenever they want in videos…so if you get the big bucks in the movie business you pay it back by entertaining the public with your life and not just in your movies..is this still legal?
