    Missives TMZ Executive Producer, Evan Rosenblum Interview with a Celebrity Interviewer

    Malibu MISSIVES TMZ Executive Producer, Evan Rosenblum Interview with a Celebrity Interviewer TMZ, a relative newcomer, began in 2005 as the brainchild of Harvey Levin… you know, the “I’m a Lawyer” guy. TMZ made its way onto TV in 2007. For those who may have forgotten, “TMZ” is short for “The Thirty Mile Zone”; or Hol- lywood Producer short-speak for the 30-mile radius within which most Hollywood movie production occurs and the distance after which extra crew fees and travel expenses kick-in. While it’s described as a Celebrity Gossip, Entertain- ment and Celebrity News organization, I wouldn’t relegate TMZ to merely gossip news coverage. Almost immediately after launching, TMZ began earning its bones as journalists. TMZ is credited with breaking such global news as the Michael Jackson investigations and most tragically broke the news of Michael Jackson’s demise; as well as, the many times difficult-to-watch Donald Sterling-Clippers debacle. TMZ created its own sometimes tongue- in-cheek, good-humored, unique Entertainment News coverage style and format; at which many would agree they remain the best. Recently, I was able to speak with Evan Rosenblum, an Executive Producer at TMZ and TMZ Hollywood Sports where he also performs double-duty as its lead host. Evan has been with Harvey Levin from the beginning. He started as an intern while still pursuing his undergraduate degree in Journalism from Arizona State University. In a very short period, Evan has come a long way. During our conversation, I learned that Evan is credited with breaking some of TMZ’s biggest stories.

He says he supports restric- tions on certain firearms, but wouldn’t say whether he supports a ban on assault rifles, like the Bush- master AR-15 used by Adam Lanza to kill 20 chil- dren at Sandy Hook Elementary school. “There are clearly some very stupid guns out there, designed for — I’m not sure what they are designed for,” DeFazio said.
