First, TMZ might not report politics and/or world events, but they are very much a news organization.

I worked there for a brief time in 2008 and they take researching and breaking news very seriously.

They took it so seriously that I found it troubling. One thing I didn't care for was how much so many of the staff enjoyed taking people down though.

Soon after I started, I felt like Tom Cruise's character when he realized he worked for "The Firm."

Brittany Spears was in the midst of her infamous meltdown when I worked there and each day felt like Christmas morning to some of the employees who literally lived for that stuff.

Thankfully, I didn't dig up dirt or report that kind of stuff. My job was to write and produce the comical 60-90 second "stories" that appeared on the TV show. My favorite was a week-long "expose" on the man-crush Chris Farley's brother, Kevin, had on David Spade.

Second, I'm a million miles a way and this infidelity story made it to me weeks before it ended up on TMZ.  I heard this rumor - along with other tangents to the details noted - right around New Years Eve.

I'm not saying it's true - only that TMZ didn't pull this out of thin air.

Just because you may have heard the rumor today, doesn't mean others didn't hear it a month or more ago.
