Known for its celebrity gossip and paparazzi and obsession with all things Lindsey Lohan, TMZ will be starting star tours in New York City. The company has already been doing tours in Los Angeles for more than a year and founder, Harvey Levin has reported to The New York Times that he will be bringing the tours to NYC.
Reportedly the tours could start as early as next year. In Los Angeles, the tours include a red bus that visits secret celebrity hot spots and places where celebrities have made fools out of themselves to the media and where tragic celebrity instances have also occured. This includes everything from where Hugh Grant got caught with a prostitute, Divine Brown, the Viper Room club where River Phoenix died, the liquor store that Halle Berry crashed into and the place place where Avril Lavigne got beaten up in a street fight. They even show Chateau Marmont, a popular celebrity hangout, where apparently Josh Hartnett was staying when he called 911 with sever diarrhea.
The Hollywood media outlet often beats its competiting celebrity news outlets with scoops such as the recent nude photos of Prince Harry in Vegas and past news such as Michael Jackson's death.
In Los Angeles TMZ tours are equipped with a 24 seat van that have four tv screens that show material from TMZ's TV show. Tours are $49 for adults and $39 for children.
New York celebriies are a bit more under the radar so TMZ definitely has more research to do.
