ONE OF AMERICA'S "HOTTEST" ENTERTAINMENT BRANDS, TMZ, COMES TO REELZ

'TMZ HOLLYWOOD SPORTS' ORIGINAL SERIES TO AIR WEEKDAYS IN PRIMETIME EXCLUSIVELY ON REELZ

The Worlds of Pop Culture, Celebrity, Hollywood and Sports Collide in an Irreverent, Hilarious and Candid Look at Athletes ... Off the Field!

Series Premieres Monday, September 29, 2014

(Albuquerque, NM) Wednesday, September 17, 2014 - REELZ today announced that one of the freshest, most respected and energizing journalism brands in the country will anchor the network's weekday primetime line up with new original series TMZ Hollywood Sports which will air at 8pm ET/ 5pm PT exclusively on REELZ beginning Monday, September 29, 2014.

TMZ Hollywood Sports - the organization that exposed Donald Sterling and revealed what really happened in the Ray Rice case all in the past four months - has a new daily home on television. This is sports without scores ... and the highlights are what happen when athletes and celebrity culture collide off the field!

Whether they're partying with the stars, breaking into TV and movie roles, or behaving badly, TMZ Hollywood Sports will be there. With executive producer and host Evan Rosenblum leading a free-flowing TMZ ensemble discussing everything from athletes' dating lives, cars, homes, toys and jewelry to social media gaffes, hilarious endorsement deals and public missteps, TMZ Hollywood Sports will dive head-first into the wild, off-the-field world where athletes and celebrities mix.

TMZ is known for redefining Hollywood journalism and has excelled like no other at feeding America's insatiable appetite for stories about the people we all know, from Hollywood actors to the titans of sports. With eye-popping - or sometimes just amusing and eye-rolling - revelations and headlines, TMZ has captivated viewers for almost a decade with stories and "did-I-really-just-see-that?" footage captured by its street fleet of tireless video jockeys who seem to be everywhere...because they are.

Said Harvey Levin: "This is an especially exciting venture for us because we think we can attract sports fans who love athletes and non-sports fans who are interested in athletes who have become some of the biggest celebrities in the world."

"TMZ Hollywood Sports is a natural extension of REELZ's Hollywood Happens Here(TM) brand," said Stan E. Hubbard, REELZ CEO. "TMZ is an amazing partner for REELZ and, together, we will deliver a fast-paced, hard-hitting and fun look at a collision of worlds where sports (with no Xs and Os) meets celebrity meets Hollywood."

TMZ Hollywood Sports will also report on celebrities whose lives intersect with the sports world, including business partnerships between A-list movie stars and Hall of Fame athletes. The TMZ Hollywood Sports forum style format also includes one-on-one interviews with celebrities and industry experts commenting on buzzworthy stories and major events from Hollywood red carpets to the Final Four to the Super Bowl.
