Ever since they got the scoop on the Michael Jackson death, the rest of the media just reprints TMZ articles as gospel on entertainment, even though plenty of articles before and since have been made up dogshit.
It also shows just how damn lazy most websites and journalists are these days, once one site runs a story all the rest just quote it or copy it verbatim. Or re-write it slightly chinese whispers style removing even more of the facts, like the Richie story has morphed from the original version to leaving the whole tour just due to bad writing. We saw the same on another forum I'm on, someone had a domain name and made a spoof website, hawked the story about and only The Sun were bothered, paid him for the story took a few quotes and then ran it the next day- then all the others ran with it- publications the world over! Yet only 1 paper took the original story, every other one just copied it.
Anyway, back to the holiday stories :p
