1. You guys are pieces of crap at TMZ for picking on a inocent 17yr old. Shawn Johnson is an amazing athlete that dedicated her entire life since age 3 to the sport and pushed her body to the physical and mental limit 6 days a week 4-5 hours a day to make it to the Olympics and represent the US. you guys should be thanking her and respecting her for her dedication. Did you happen to watch good morning america the other day and see all the adorable little gymnasts that came out to see SJ? They all look up to her and many other children and teens as an idol and rolemodel because she is so inspiring and positive. She gives 100% at everything she does. With all the training she does she still even made the honor role in highschool. You guys should be ashamed of yourself..DONT HATE ON SHAWN JOHNSON cause she is 10 times better on her worst day then any of you at TMZ are on your best day. You also owe her an apology!!

2. most men are filthy pigs. who cares what any of you say or care about. TMZ= MEN

3. It's true there is a resemblance, this is fact. Reporting a fact is not a problem. I like shawn and think she is sexy but that does not take away from the fact that there is a resemblance.

4. HAHAHA.....I support you guys fully on this piece loll not only because this show's based on the obvious "celebrity comedy" which this piece is obviously all about... and now people get mad?..GOD forbid you guys make a wise crack on the overrated Phelps without having the whole Olympic committee shutting the show down... I say some people don't have a sense of humor. YOU GUYS JUST SAY WHAT SOME PEOPLE ARE THINKING.... x)

5. TMZ Do not be ashamed of your comparison. It was cute, this was not bad or even mean, dont listen to these psychos . These are not patriots they are bored lonely friendless losers who think if they stick up for this young girl they will be saved by Jesus. They dont know her, they dont even know that your comment was cute!

6. I saw NOTHING offensive here. No one said this mouse was ugly! Its cute, shes cute, why are people so stupid. Why are they offended? Shes sixteen shes pretty and talented, give her some credit, shes not dumb enough to let THAT offend her!

7. ... and seriously who goes and brags about "being quite the perfect speller". what a dork!

8. kristina, you are the one who came on here critizing other's spelling and use of grammer when it wasn't required. but then you yourself go and make a typo or whatever, come on, that's funny!!! you hit the comment button after many long hours awake and then realized you made the mistake... uhhh go to bed and get off tmz!!! i never claimed to be "quite the perfect speller" like you did nor do i care when posting comments on a website like this.

9. you guys can all go @#$!? yourselfs get a real fuckin job you mother fuckin #@!?$ lickers ,leave shawn the #?!@$ alone, shes gorgeous and super talented your just fuckin jealous you fuckin ass holes.

10. To 'hahaha Kristina': First, really? You couldn't come up with a better name such as your own? Second, before you respond and try to correct someone, you should probably read other comments. I admitted to the mistake afterward in another comment. Third, you spelled 'grammar' wrong -- it's an 'a' not an 'e', and you used a comma where it wasn't required. I suggest you take lessons before you try teaching someone else one. Thanks! However, next time you should probably not waste the space. Okay? Great.=) Moving on: I suppose I should have also mentioned in a previous comment that there is a difference between a 'rat' and a 'mouse'. Either way, I still think the whole thing is funny. I really don't consider it to be an insult towards Shawn Johnson, because she is a pretty girl and mice are cute. Why so serious, people?

11. I'm glad freedom of speech isn't one of the hallmarks of the U.S.... oh wait.

12. I am curious about those writers who feel they need to repeatedly say "Take it down." I still await your justification as to why you feel that way. Sure, she represented the United States admirably. I respect her winning a gold medal. However, she's still a public figure. I'm guessing people don't realize even Nancy Kerrigan got teased for her reaction after being hit on the leg in 1994. Remember her crying out, saying, "Why?" Teasing Olympians is not a new concept in our country. And, "TMZ's" joke was a good one. Hopefully, your writings will encompass something more substantive than calling Harvey Levin and the "TMZ" staff homosexuals or bitches. Look, I don't always agree with the staffers at "TMZ," but I don't think a simple compare and contrast between Topo Gigio and Shawn Johnson justifies that remark, either.

13. She doesn't drive an $80,000 Range Rover, it's an LR2 that sells in the 30's. The Land Rover Dealer in Iowa gave it to her in exchange for making appearances at some of their Charity events. She is a very wealthy girl, with many endorsements even before she became a gold-medal winner. But she's certainly not the 1st or last Olympic athlete to do that. For all you American-bashers (like the one from Australia), I'm sure Ian Thorpe or any other non-American Olympic hero never made any money or got anything given to them due to their Olympic fame & achievments. So why is it bad for Shawn Johnson to do it? Lighten up!

14. At what point did it become ok to publically humiliate someone in the name of entertainment. Is that the "American way"? I got news for TMZ and anyone else who participates in public humiliation...it is not cool and is not entertaining. It is classless and trashy. But then again, since 99% of Americans are nothing but common street trash, I guess you guys feel right at home.

15. hahaha she does look like a rat.. totally, and the fact of her driving a $80,000 range.. who cares thats material objects, im sure there's a lot of kids out there that can afford it but dont flaunt it.. YOU AMERICANS need to get over yourselves.. so what she looks like a rat.. STOP DENYING IT hahahaha
