TMZ Poll Invites Readers to Weigh Week’s Celebrity and Political Stories
TMZ Poll Invites Readers to Weigh Week’s Celebrity and Political Stories
A brief “Stars and Scars” feature asks readers to judge current stories involving Hayden Panettiere, Brian Hickerson, Dolly Parton and other public figures.
TMZ’s weekly “Stars and Scars” poll offered readers a series of questions tied to prominent entertainment, culture and political stories. The introduction said evidence was increasing that Brian Hickerson, the boyfriend of Hayden Panettiere, had been under the influence in the months before her death.
The feature also highlighted Dolly Parton as a figure capable of unifying Americans. It presented no extended reported narrative, instead directing readers to vote on subjects associated with the week’s coverage.
Topics linked to the poll included Panettiere’s death, Hickerson, Parton, President Trump, Jed York, the Kardashians, the Lindsay Clancy trial, arrests and internet culture. The page functioned as an audience survey rather than a conventional article and did not publish conclusions from the voting.
