  All the haters have to get over it and not be hypocrites ... you look at tmz everyday because people are made fun of! Deal with it. BTW i dont think tmz is gonna fail just because a few of you dont want to watch it anymore. Boo hoo, there are still millions of us who will watch so good f***ing riddance and get a sense of humor.

  What do you expect from the TV version of the National Enquirer? When are we gonna get over the whole "celebrity" thing. Just retarded. However, that said, it's what TMZ does. It wasn't even malicious. People need to get over themselves about as much as celebrity stalker sites/shows need to FOAD.

  That is the funniest comparison yet!!! TMZ you really have found a match on this one!! And all you people that think its hurtful and disrespectful to an Olympian are outside your minds. She is a great athlete and did our country proud, but I hate to break it to you guys, she looks like Topo Gigio!! And just cause she looks like the mouse doesnt take away from her accomplishments it just states a fact...the girl looks like a mouse. Who cares. Better a mouse than Mr. Ed or Alf. I doubt she goes to HS so she never experienced the "high school getting made fun of years". im sure this is good for her bc not every1 is gonna kiss her a$$ and say how great and wonderful she is. And 5 years from now she will look like that Carly girl from the 04 Olympics... Fat and singing on some stupid reality show that only lasted one season.So a lil dose of picking fun wont hurt her... it will only introduce her to what every person who attends high school actually goes through.

  Hell, if she'd been black and compared to a monkey, it would've been cool right? Double standards, how I loathe double standards. One last thought. When does a black man become a n(word)? When he leaves the room. I just left the room but I"llllllllllllll be back. Peace.

  I thought the comparison was cute and funny! Why are people whining so much...? "Oh no! They compared her to a cute little mouse puppet! OH MAH LAWD THAT THERE IS CHILD ABUSE!" Gimme a break, you losers. It's funny. They didn't call her names. It's cute. Man, people need to get over themselves and if you can't handle TMZ's deep content then go away. That's easy, isn't it? PLEASE TMZ, don't give in to the whiners! Don't take it down! If that Nina moron is allowed to rant about the Beyonce non-issue, this HAS to stay up! By the way... Nina, you suck.

  I just have to say - I LOVED the comparison between Shawn Johnson and the Mouse! That was funny as #!@$? I wasn't a fan of TMZ before I saw it, but am now going to start watching more often! I think the Olympics are awesome, but seriously - enough of Shawn Johnson...there ARE other athletes competing (in case no one was aware). I just hope that since she finally got the gold medal, she'll stop competing and figure out that reality and life are different when everything isn't handed to you on a silver platter. TMZ - find more funny ?@#!$ to poke fun at Shawn Johnson! There are those of us who love it!

  Whoa I never feel compelled to comment on any posts but I think the comparison was actualy kind of funny. Its just a joke! We're proud of Shawn Johnson, she's an amazing athlete, but the girl does kind of look like that mouse.

  This is not funny. Even as far as jokes go, this is the worst in mankind. It is not a joke. It is the supreme mark of idiocy and jealousy. You will never be forgiven for this atrocity. I myself would happily run over the person who wrote this article if I saw him in the street. That's what you people would consider as a "joke" right???? BURN IN HELL.

  Well, this to all you people: YOU ARE ALL F*CKING LOSERS WHO LOOK LIKE A DONKEY'S ASS AND YOUR PARENTS NEVER LOVED OR WANTED YOU. YOU ARE FAILURES IN EVERYONE'S MIND AND YOU MAKE UP FOR THAT BY ASSAULTING INNOCENT PEOPLE. YOU ARE CRUEL, DISRESPECTFUL, AND ABOVE ALL, ASSHOLES. YOU ARE ALL JEALOUS OF OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE ACCOMPLISHED SO MUCH MORE IN LIFE THAN YOU, AND THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN FEEL BETTER ABOUT YOUR WORTHLESS PATHETIC LIVES IS DESTROYING THEIR PRIDE AND REPUTATION. YOU ARE WORSE THAN DEVIL SPAWNS, AND I BELIEVE THAT EVEN CRAP HAS MORE VALUE THAN YOU. YOU SHOULD ALL GO TO HELL AND BURN FOR ETERNITY. NO FORGIVENESS SHOULD BE GIVEN FOR THIS. NONE.

  This is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen. First of all, it's not funny. At all. It makes me sick. Do you people seriously have nothing else to talk about? Shawn Johnson is an incredibly adorable girl, and you compare her to a rat? No, I'm sorry, you said... "Shawn Johnson is a RAT!!!" How is that f*cking funny????? Even if you idiotic lowlifes were making a joke, you don;t say it like that! Something that is 100% distasteful AND untrue. You wanna point at someone and say, oh, you look like a chipmunk. Well, you know what I think???? The people that thought of this and agree with this shitty idea are ugly losers who have done nothing in their lives but make fun of other people.

  This is typical low-life hollywood. Harvey Levin is a joke and this proves it. If you were a real man Harvey you first of all would not have allowed this trash on your media and secondly would immediately and publically, on a live news broadcast, apologize to this girl. But, I don't think you have the right equipment down there, do you?
