TMZ and Starline Tours announced today the offspring of their beautifully unholy union: a sensational new Hollywood Tour called 'Secrets and Celebrity Hot Spots.' More than a Star Map on wheels, this tourist adventure of scandal-soaked dreams promises a custom Starline bus that stops at such locations as Winona Ryder's least favorite department store, and the legendary Laugh Factory, "where 'Seinfeld' star Michael Richards went on his famed racist rant," reports CBS Local.
According to TMZ and Starline, throughout the tour, "shocking and never-before-seen” video from the TMZ archive will help guide the action, while clips of TMZ staffers will provide "an inside look at selected Hollywood hot spots." Naturally, tour guides will be equipped with cameras in case a gossip emergency breaks out during the sightseeing gawkfest.
The TMZ tour begins May 1 and tickets go on sale beginning March 28 on the Starline Tours and TMZ websites.
