Sure, we dish it out, and we can take it too -- but Illeana Douglas definitely crossed a line when she walked around Hollywood last night with a sign reading, "TMZ causes cancer. Stop filming celebrities, start filming poverty."
The irony -- or we're hoping, the point of this gutless stunt -- is that Douglas was at the premiere of and supporting the new season of "Dirt," the FX series starring Courteney Cox, which is all about filming celebrities.
16. Harvey Levin - The midget troll KING of "gutless stunts". What a joke. Suck it TMZ.

17. TMZ sound like you can't take it, she's making a valid point. You however are not by saying shes supporting the show Dirt, a fictional show about fictional celebrities. TMZ you just sound bitter that she's calling you out.
Would it kill you to do charitable work? I mean all you photogs do is hang out all day waiting, why not dish out some soup for the homeless while you wait? Who knows you may attract the celebrities your desperately waiting for...

18. If she wanted to make a real statement, she should have brought a homeless kid, given the kid a makeover and taken the kid shopping before the premeire.

23. Uh, TMZ... you do realize that 'Dirt' is a Satire? Sure, the show was created to make money, but mostly to point out that the media is more interested in dishing gossip about celebrities than actually using the power of the press for something good.

24. She is ridiculous. TMZ is here for ENTERTAINMENT purposes, not to shed light on the plight of the poverty stricken. What an idiot.

25. What line was it that she crossed that you haven't? I guess I am missing what you see as irony? You do know that "Dirt," the FX series starring Courteney Cox, is make believe, don't you? You have stalked Britney endlessly and seem to relish in the insanity surrounding her life..that makes sense due to the fact that you have made a fortune because of her. You belittle her every single day yet expect us to have compassion for Heath Ledger, another troubled entertainer, that committed suicide. The homeless you show us? That is only to get the cheap shot in on who gives who doesn't...
26. I told you guys...all your smarmy & unfunny commentary coupled with your 8 yeard old put downs are wearing thin on everyone! It's funny you put down all these narcisstic celebs and yet your site (really your TV show) just screams we're cool and you're not! Um yeah okay...if it makes you feel superior, great but people are growin weary of TMZ.

27. Finally someone in the US with a brain!!

28. So I looked her up online and there she was, wearing fashion crap (ie, clothes you throw away even if they still function), her hair, her nails, her botox - botox, when there are kids who can't even get the vaccinations they need! Everything was just her wasting resources. It's not TMZ or "negative energy" that causes cancer deaths, it's the fact that the USA's health care resources are allocated according to wealth, and the rich are willing to let 18,000 poor Americans die of treatable diseases every year so they can monopolize doctors and medical technology to get facelifts and other cosmetic surgery.

29. I've seen most of her movies, she is an AMAZING talent.

30. Why would you call her "gutless:? I think it's gutless to crawl all over the celebs and when they so much as bump you you guys cry foul and sue. TMZ and Americans suck. The whole world laughs at your once proud and now pathetic country . F u All
