Mom of Former "Idol" Finalist Sings "My Way"

226. Stating it this way is inexcusable. I'm not reading any more on TMZ, and I am recommending that my friends do not read it wither. The writers do not know when they have crossed the lines. Not everything is fodder for sarcasm. Harvey should be ashamed to be affiliated with TMZ.

My sympathies to Elliot. I know he did not deserve a slam in an article like this. My respects to his mother.

227. OMG, TMZ. He is a very talented singer...just because he didn't win doesn't mean he sucks....But you guys DO suck. How rude can you be? His mother died, you J A's.

228. Sorry for Elliott's loss. His Mom seemed like such a sweetheart when she was on the show. I'm glad she got to see him have a huge hit song before she died.

And TMZ- shame on you. Is it impossible for you to have an ounce of common decency? Do you think making snarky remarks about a person who has just died helps your website to be successful?

229. You know, I've lost all respect I once had for Harvey Levin. He went from respectable Lawyer to media whore.

How cruel can you be with that uncalled for last line? "Like Yamin's mother will never be heard from again"

THE GUY JUST LOST HIS MOTHER!! HE'S GRIEVING.


Shame on TMZ!!!

RIP, Claudette Yamin.

232. Because of this story I will no longer be a visitor to your site...bad taste....

233. Hey Harvey, would you right a rude remark like that about your mom? Don't be a douche!

234. Wow, TMZ, that comment was rude and tasteless, even for you. I would suggest to the people who agree to not read this site anymore, because the more comments it gets, the more money it makes from advertisers. You know, bad publicity is better than no publicity. So anyone who visits this site is encouraging posts of this nature. You know this site is rude and nasty; why do you visit it? Set an example for TMZ; don't read this crap.

235. TMZ you are so thoughtless, no sympathy for anyone. No wonder all of Hollywood hates you. Anything for a story...SHAME ON YOU.....You don't have to answer to us, but you will have to answer to GOD one day....Elliott my prayers are with you..God Bless

236. TMZ:

I am done here.


And that's no April Fool joke.


Good riddance, you disgusting bottom-feeding worms.

Posted at 4:48PM on Apr 1st 2008 by TMZ should be shut down

237. The Elliott Yamin comments were beyond disrespectful to his mother and him. I am from Richmond and Elliott & family were nothing but classy and giving people. I am embarrassed a website would suggest that Elliott is talentless never to be heard from again, being attacked when he has just lost his mother.....I will not be back to TMZ's website because of this aggregious slap in the face to our home town hero during his time of grief...how would it feel if it were said of you to millions of readers by complete strangers?????brad

240. Obviously written by some snot nosed kid who has never lost anyone close to them. I hope they dont have any stories like this to face when their mother dies. Karma is a *itch.
