'TMZ' stands for "Thirty Mile Zone," a term which originated in the 1960's. Due to the growth of 'on location' shoots, studios established a "thirty mile zone" to monitor the regulations of shooting throughout Hollywood. The zone was originally centered in Los Angeles around the old offices of The Association of Motion Pictures and Television Producers at Beverly and La Cienega Boulevards in California. It was often said that "Everything entertainment happens in the 'Thirty Mile Zone.'" So essentially, the "Thirty Mile Zone" represents the epicenter of Hollywood. Also- you see/hear this reference on the celebrity gossip show/site "tmz.com"

The person whose ass i would most like to kick on a daily basis. I don't know him personally but, i am irritated by his galactic ignorance and narcissism. People that have a public forum such as TMZ and open their mouths whenever possible, whilst failing to realize they are idiots, chap my hide something fierce and make me violent.
TMZ is a guilty pleasure of mine. I watch mainly to see and hear the on-air employees display their lack of wit and knowledge. The group consists of various,dimwitted, 20-somethings, but their undisputed king is "Matt, the blond douche on TMZ."
