Over the weekend, the celebrity-gossip site TMZ rolled out a New York sightseeing tour for tabloid-obsessives. The two-hour bus ride will, according to the company, make around 70 stops. Not one to pass on a good scoop, the TMZ team has been coy so far about the route, except to say that it will “change constantly,” but with eight years of juicy Gotham intel at the guide’s disposal, tourgoers certainly won’t want for cheap thrills at the glitterati’s expense.
