Inexplicably managing not to spray the room with gunfire or hurl himself out of the nearest open window, TMZ's Harvey Levin spoke to students enrolled at the "elite" Graduate School of Journalism at UC Berkeley. TMZ, for the few of you not in the know, is a fantastic celebrity news site where you can find images of a beaten Rhianna or a postmortem Anna Nicole Smith; and Levin, a former lawyer and television producer, runs the joint. A few revelations Levin unveiled at Wednesday's talk? He doesn't hire writers, prefers to employs reporters who look like this; was asked by a J-schooler if he would be doing "more serious stories" at TMZ (answer: no); and declared "local news is dying, newspapers are dying."

Harvey Levin is an insect who preys upon the life of the people. Celebrity professionals like him or, say, Dr. Drew Pinsky, should be rounded up.
But, but, but I need my Sober House.
I think you're confusing him with some other TV jew. This guy runs TMZ, he doesn't life coach strung out celebs. He harasses them until their lives become so unbearable that they become the train wrecks we demand. In other words, he creates the hot messes, he doesn't cure the hot messes.
I'm oddly attracted to Harvey Levin. It makes me feel bad about myself.
