TMZ paid $62,500 for Rihanna photo
According to MediaBuffet, a TMZ defector claims the Rihanna police photo set the gossip site back $62,500. The same source reveals $22,000 was paid for the Octo-Mom pregnant belly photo and $165k for a hidden tape of the OJ break-in.
Since the photo’s release, a debate has sparked over the ethics of publishing such material. Rihanna’s father says it’s a good and bad thing and that at least now people will be able to grasp the situation.
In either case, $62 grand?! I would have bid at most $10 and a slice of pizza. It may seem a little on the low side, but I’ll have you know, it was a big slice of pizza and had almost three toppings.
TMZ is shittier than s**t (as I posted on another blog 4 days ago) and is now exposed as the reason why Rihanna’s photo (post-Chris Brown beating) was “leaked”…TMZ PAID $62,OOO+ to an LAPD officer! (I also posted my bet that I WAS SURE THAT TMZ WAS BEHIND IT – SURPRISE, SURPRISE!) SOOO, in reiteration, TMZ is lower than low, viler than vile, shittier than S**T…may their TV Show and Website be SHUT DOWN!!! (Harvey Levin: WTF???!!!…you should rot in HELLLLL!!!!!)
(continued)…Oh, guess what…TMZ has declined to comment on their despicable actions! (ironic, no?!) I say, EVERYONEWHO CAN: TAIL THEIR PATHETIC AND SCUMMY ASSES AND PUSH MICROPHONES AND CAMERAS INTO THEIR FACES AND ANNOY THE LIVING S**T OUT OF THEM!!! REALLY!!! I would gladly do it, but I live on the other side of the country.
really huge money, the police is really lucky, rihanna is cool artist,
Whoa, wait a second. TMZ is the reason any of you are reading this. There’s a lot we wouldn’t see without them paying the bucks so that much of this info becomes public. What about the LAPD officer who took the money for the photo? TMZ was just doing its JOB and they wouldn’t be around if not for so many people being INTERESTED! Who’s shittier than s**t? I would say the police officer who has an extra $62,000 sitting in his bank account right now. Was it worth losing his job when it all comes down to brass tacks?… Read more »
Exactly. .TMZ were doing there job. .don’t hate because they got the picture before you guys did. .and as for the comment up there. .had not it been for TMZ we would have known the caliber of Miss Prissy’s Beatdown. .we would have been in the dark. .oh and one more thing. .while everyone is critisizing TMZ. .you should be getting on the cop who gave up the pic. .because if he HAD been DOING HIS JOB. .you guys wouldn’t be tripping right about now. .get a grip on life people. .
I agree with lisa but I still think it shouldn’t have been published.
You wouldn’t want your picture out for the whole word to see if you got beat. Right?
I have lost all respect for Rihanna, she is not showing an example for todays youth, this is the time for her to stand up and speak out against this sort or behavior. and not condone it. Rihanna as soon as chris gets back what he lost (image if possible) he is going to kick you to the curb and move with his life and the next fool.
If you think that Rihanna had trouble with chris brown then you’ll need to here my story i thank GOD that i’m still here. and he have not served one day in jail for doing this to me.
LisaOn: YES, the police officer who sold the photo is shitty, too, and NEEDS TO BE PROSECUTED WITH FULL MEDIA COVERAGE; JUMP ON THAT, TMZ!!! But, TMZ is, and always has been shitty…and NO, Kesha B: I am NOT mad because TMZ “got the photo before me”…(WTF???!!!)…what an ignorant comment!
