Posted by LTPA Staff | Posted in Real Hodges, TMZ | Posted on 09-01-2009


Harvey Levin does a shocked double take to get a better look at someone he thought was Helen Hunt walking out of a hotel lobby.

Sources report TMZ Toolmaster Harvey Levin is enjoying some much needed time away from Los Angeles… much needed by the rest of LA, that is. A friend says that Levin, who reportedly maintains a ridiculously strict tanning regiment, is frolicking around the Hawaiian Islands and likely enjoying alcoholic beverages. It is believed that Horrible Harvey will also be partaking in a variety of other activities typically of great interest to TMZ reporters:

-Eating at restaurants
-Riding in cabs
-Going to the beach
-Walking through airports
-Buying pants
-and much, much more…

Stay tuned for developments in this EXCITING piece of non-news to see who will get to hold Harvey’s dry erase marker today!

8/31/09: Chubby Spikey Speaks: What’s in Harvey’s Mug

Posted by LTPA Staff | Posted in Real Hodges, TMZ | Posted on 08-31-2009


Chubby Spikey sports last Thursday’s black T while refusing to admit what his paymaster is guzzling down each morning.


TMZ’s often underrated and always overweight Chubby Spikey fielded some questions in a wide angle live stream just moments ago. In the broadcast’s strange and desperate last moments, the sweaty beast went to great lengths assuring viewers that Toolmaster Harvey Levin is not drunk during morning meetings. Levin’s overly dramatic reactions to things like celebrities eating sandwiches and walking to their cars seem to have made viewers suspicious about what’s in his sippy cup. According to Chub Spike, the contents of Harvey’s secret sauce cocktail may be revealed next season. … Sadly, this comment hints that there may be another “season” of TMZ on the way after this one. Damn.

7/15/09: Yesterday’s Story Count – Overshadowed By Shocking Report!!!

Posted by LTPA Staff | Posted in Story Counts, TMZ | Posted on 07-15-2009

Yesterday we all watched with unwavering attention as TMZ presented possibly the most fascinating piece of celebrity news journalism the world has ever known: A Celebrity Walking to His Car with White Pants On! Merely days after Toolmaster Harvey Levin and Fan Favorite MAX HODGES wondered aloud why anyone should care when a celebrity walks to their car, another celebrity captured their journalistic hearts by walking to his car in white pants! Please, allow us to elaborate further on the development of this ground-breaking story:

The TMZ exclusive footage showed a celebrity walking to his car with his family. The celebrity’s pants were white. The celebrity got in his car. It seemed that he hesitated for a split second before closing the car door, and then he closed the car door.

This is one of the finest pieces of in depth reporting we’ve ever seen. The journalism on display here is of the highest caliber, helping ensure that people know when celebrities are walking to their cars and what color their pants are. Good work, TMZ!

-Droop Doggy Dog: 5

7/14/09: Story Count Shock – Chubby Ballcap Wins!!!

Posted by LTPA Staff | Posted in Hodges in Trouble, Story Counts, TMZ | Posted on 07-14-2009

TMZ’s fan favorite “reporter” MAX HODGES dug deep on Monday, pathetically searching for any way to salvage a story count victory. As we’ve been seeing more and more, however, Hodges could not capture the coveted title. This time the champion was Chubby Ballcap, the sweaty, pudgy, pigeon-toed smoker. Reports suggest Ballcap turns his black t-shirts inside out after several days worth of wearing them so he can continue dawning the fattering attire for several more days. True or not, we congratulate this bulbous behemoth of bad non-news on his first ever story count victory.


Chubby Ballcap vs. Max Hodges, 7/13/2009
Monday’s Story Count, 7/13/09
-Chubby Ballcap: 6
-Max Hodges: 5
-Dax Fashion: 3
-Gold Digging Slut: 3
-Nasal Spray Bandit: 3
-Curly Squeaky: 3
-Droop Doggy Dog: 2
-Lane Meyer: 2
-Pippi Longstalker: 1
-Chubby Glasses: 1
-Chubby Spikey: 1
-Balding Lisping: 1
-Nameless Moron: 1

Due to feedback regarding today’s ruling in favor of Max Hodges for Friday’s story count matchup against Dax Fashion, we would like to clarify the decision by examining how the story count rules originated. From this day forth to be referred to as the “Horse in Pool Rule,” a story about an animal doing something unusual is given more consideration than a story about a person doing something people typically do.

7/14/09: TMZ’s Minds “Not Rooted In Reality!”

Posted by LTPA Staff | Posted in In Hodges' Words, Max Hodges Reports!, TMZ | Posted on 07-14-2009

Last week TMZ’s fan favorite “reporter” MAX HODGES seemingly wondered aloud if a celebrity walking to his car is really such a big deal. In the video, Hodges is heard saying “I cannot believe there are still hundreds of girls waiting to see Robert Pattinson… it’s insane, I just can’t believe it! He walks to the car, THAT’S IT! The comments are unexpected coming from someone who earns his meager livelihood reporting non-news minutia about celebrities walking to their cars every day.

Hodges’ analysis of the footage is strikingly similar to LTPA Spokesperson Gus’ description of paparazzi harassing John Mayer in the LTPA Introductory Video, even ending with the same bewildered “that’s it! Toolmaster Harvey Levin went on to explain that people who become obsessed with actors and wait around to catch a glimpse of them doing mundane things have minds “not rooted in reality.” This is a pretty good description of his entire staff.

7/14/09: Story Count – Last Week’s Wrap-Up

Posted by LTPA Staff | Posted in Story Counts, TMZ | Posted on 07-14-2009


In keeping with our “better late than never” journalism philosophy, here’s a quick update on the story count battles that took place at the end of last week.

On Thursday MAX HODGES reclaimed his title as Non-News’ Most Fancy Boy with a disgraceful score of nine, narrowly edging out hair gel bandit Dax Fashion’s hefty seven points. Judge Dreads and his Droop Doggy Dog each earned five points.

On Friday it was business as usual as Max and Dax battled it out, each trying to worst the other. In the end, Hodges won by a nose… a baby elephant’s nose, that is. Despite TMZ striving to “own the best stories in Hollywood,” Harvey’s henchmen are well aware that story count regulations state the following: “stories about horses are worth more than stories about people, and in a tie, a horse story can decide the winner.” Although an elephant is most decidedly not a horse, story count officials have ruled that the elephant story breaks the tie in favor of Hodges.

Thursday’s Story Count
-MAX HODGES: 9:
-Dax Fashion: 7
-Judge Dreads: 5
-Droop Doggy Dog: 5
-Gold Digging Slut: 2
-Cake Decorator: 1
-Count Mustachio: 1
-Chubby Ballcap: 1
-Nasal Spray Bandit: 1
-Nameless Moron: 1
-Curly Squeaky: 1
Friday’s Story Count
-MAX HODGES: 5.5
-Dax Fashion: 5
-Droop Doggy Dog: 4
-Judge Dreads: 3
-Groucho Glasses: 2
-Nasal Spray Bandit: 2
-Cake Decorator: 1
-Chubby Spikey: 1
-Balding Lisping: 1
-Deliverance: 1
-Count Mustachio: 1
