3. Not Funny. Not even slightly humorous. Not even worth a wry-smile.
Your subject? One of the GREATEST vocalists, in the history of recorded music.
THIS, is how your treat an American LEGEND?
I KNOW, Mr. Levin is a better Mensch, than THIS.

4. That is a look of disapproval from a talented lady as she sees your pap with his camera. She was famous before paps got all up in people's personal everyday lives. She doesn't have time to mess with your foolishness.

5. # 2 - yes she is an Icon. But she is morbidly obese, and if she cares about her fans at all, she would start taking care of herself instead of killing herself. I for one do not care what kind of Diva she is, i would NOT want to sit next to her in a restaurant. I bet she breathes super heavy just using the energy to eat.

7. Wow, this is really interesting NEWS TMZ.

And I thought Harvey Levinz use to say that TMZ was going to be the anti-tabloid entertainment news outlet.

Now they've become even bigger scum than the tabloids they use to say they were going to be better than.

WTG for hitting a new low.

Tho its not as bad as insulting someone who has just died or whose mother had passed away like you have in the past.

12. #5..............YOU'RE RACIST ( OBESE ) .

I KNOW PEOPLE WHO'S NOT OBESE AND THEY BREATHE

SUPER HEAVY .............

EVERYONE SHOULD EXERCISE ...............BUT YOU'VE TO

LEAVE THAT TO THERE BUSINESS , NOT YOURS ( BUSINESS.)

( LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT )

Posted at 3:42PM on Aug 19th 2008 by IT'S THERE BUSINESS AND NONE OF YOURS

13. Well it's not as low as when you insulted someone's dead mother, or made fun of someone who had just died... but it's still pretty low.

For one, she's old... she's rich... what does she care if she has gained weight?

Also... didn't TMZ say when they first started that they were better that those sleezy tabloids because they were going to deliver truthful and accurate news?

What happened to that? Now they're WORSE than those sleezy tabloids.

Their photogs know nothing about entertainment and usually don't know who they're even talking to, the editors of the new stories aren't very good at their job. (Waste as in garbage vs. waist as in just above your hips... they don't know the difference)...

and now this. This is news how? All this is, is a slightly unflattering photo of a musical icon that you're making fun of. How is this news? Or even entertainment?

Harvey Levin has gone from respected lawyer to a big joke. Congrats.

14. C'mon people, she is F-A-T......

Have you seen her sing lately? She is terrible! She can't catch her breath, and she sweats like a hog in the summer.

Her health is out of control and she will DIE because she eats too much and gets no exercise.

Forget being PC, she is FAT and UNHEALTHY.... No disrespect, but that's tha facts.

15. It's very sad to see her dying like this.
Obesity is an awful disease, which lots of people have.
Making fun of her isn't the right path. It just isn't.
This crap is going to kill her without some help. She doesn't need
more shaming.
