They're a celebrity gossip TV show and website. Channel 5 here in Washington carries the show.
The host is Harvey Levin, an entertainment lawyer, who stands around in a cubicle farm while his employees report the juiciest gossip snippets about various celebrities, who's been where, questions they've been asked (sometimes embarrassing, sometimes funny.)
The top one they have today is how Alec Baldwin was thrown off an American Airlines flight for playing some video game when told to turn it off by the stewardess, and Baldwin reportedly said that American is such a horrible carrier that flying it is a "Greyhound Bus experience."
A running gag on the show is jokes that are making fun of Harvey, often by his own staff. (The two jokes I used here are from the show, i.e. some celebrity who didn't like him allegedly said, "What's a 12-letter-word that substitutes for 'Harvey Levin'? Motherfucker." "What's a 10-letter word..." well, you get the idea.)
Their website is
http://TMZ.COM, and would probably be something like a scandal sheet if they were a newspaper or an unreasonable facsimile thereof.
