'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.

Get the t.m.i. TMZ mug.by Tittyhawk October 19, 2011
Get the TMZ titties mug.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."

-a person (normally one who identifies as being male/man) of the larger African Diaspora who makes it their job/business (similar to that of thirty-mile-zoneTMZ) to be the first person to drop someone else's business with the intent to garner personal traction or glorification. This transcends a person/people who simply talks too much and is a personality trait where being the first person to drop someone else's business becomes fulfilling and natural.
-a TMZ person tends to display the following traits: getting mad when they are not the first person to know your business; tends to drop your business within minutes of you telling them; will go out of their way to drop your business; doesn't care to decipher between the truth and runs and tell even the most outlandish of information; gets mad when they tell your business and someone already knows what they are trying to drop; tends to be sensitive, arrogant, but will proclaim to subscribe to the most traditional characteristics of masculinity.

Big-D, old TMZ ass, called me at 3 in the morning just to be the first person to tell me about Mike's babymomma, and he got mad when I told him that I didn't care.
