Warning: TMZ Causes Cancer

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.

31. whats interesting about this is TMZ never even had to post this story - all of us the read the webpsite wouldn't be at the premiere and wouldn't even have known about it - now we know - so if anything, if you don't want people to respond to it, why put it on the web? is it the celebrities that visit here that you are trying to impress, or are you that bitter about it that you let everyone on in about it and we would have not even known? makes no sense - just sayen.....

32. Touchy, touchy people. "Gutless stunt"? Seems pretty gutsy to me for a celebrity to stand in front of the cameras and tell you guys the truth.

What's that you say? You can't handle the truth?

33. Yeah, doesn't seem like you can take criticism very well TMZ. For all the hits you dish out on people, your exponentially more bitchy when it comes to taking it.

35. Perhaps the idea of the show Dirt is to expose how "dirty" the business is that you do. Her demonstartion is merely supporting that fact.

36. I think it's a great idea. I'd love to rip into skinny children and bad looking homes.

Ta!

38. TMZ - get a clue!!!! Why don't you take her up on her offer??? Why don't you start doing something that matters and that people actually care about???? Why don't you go out there and capture images that would truely touch American hearts and begin a campaign cause????? Why you don't - because YOU are the ones that are GUTLESS - it's much easier to stalk and harass than it is to actually put effort into something that might need a generous heart, hard work and some follow-up to try to make other peoples lives better!!! I guarantee that you'll sleep much better at night though if you do decide to actually have some character and moral!!!

39. So, she is complaining about the REAL THING when she is promoting a show about THIS SAME THING? I was going to jump on TMZ, but this is really stupid. Just like Courtney Cox not liking the paps, when she plays one on tv. Stupid is as stupid does.

40. That wasn't gutless. *

That takes balls, and most stars won't dare to say what they really think.

Brava, Ileana.

41. I sure hope those TMZER'S that Harvey has on at night are going to college during the day preparing for the REAL world.

42. I just checked and my H.M.O. doesn't cover TMZ cancer. I may have to see a specialist.

43. STFU TMZ. You cross the line daily with your retardation and you have the gall to bitch about this lady's sign? Seriously.

Posted at 1:24PM on Feb 29th 2008 by Crossed the line... haha

44. Is Ms. Douglas going to quit all acting to go over and work at a mission anywhere, full time, instead?
People ought to put their money where their mouth is. Acting is also unadulterated fluff; it's adults pretending.

45. I had TMZ cancer, but am in recovery. Please Don't tell anyone I snuck a peek here today....but why don't I believe that reading bad news instead will help me get better?
