I received an urgent email from A.F.T.R.A late last night and caught my attention.
NO CONTRACT, NO WORK
Order in Effect for ‘TMZ’Effective September 20, 2007, members of the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists are advised that TMZ Productions Inc., Harvey Levin Productions Inc., and paraMedia inc.—producers of the syndicated TV series “TMZ”—are not signed to an AFTRA contract covering this program. AFTRA members may NOT accept employment, including recording in-show and/or promotional announcements, on “TMZ” until and unless a fair contract between AFTRA and the producers is achieved…
Makes me wonder if Hollywood is trying to blacklist TMZ for all of the celebrity slamming.
