New York, NY – TMZ, the leading entertainment news brand, and On Location Tours, one of the world’s largest TV and movie tour companies, have joined together to launch TMZ Tour NYC, a new experience that’s way more than a tour…it’s a two hour show.

Beginning May 18, 2013, TMZ Tour NYC will take you on a tour that captures the fun, the edge and the secrets of TMZ. Breaking scores of stories, TMZ has blanketed New York City. We will take you to the places where the stories we have broken come to life. The tour showcases over 70 locations, including the hotel where Charlie Sheen trashed his room on a drug-fueled binge with a hooker; the restaurant where Jessica Simpson gets her Mexican fix every time she’s in town; the nightclub where Lindsay Lohan was arrested for punching a girl she called a “gypsy”; the dive bar where Lady Gaga got her start; the many locations that Gerard Butler has used his legendary charm to pick up ladies, and the world famous toy store where a well-known celebuspawn had a grand tantrum. This one-of-a-kind “show on wheels” will offer passengers a hysterical inside look at the people and stories that TMZ made famous.

Produced by the same team behind TMZ.COM, TMZ on TV and the groundbreaking TMZ Hollywood Tour, the tour takes place on a custom-designed, 52-passenger bus with a state-of-the-art audio/video system, and hosted by our humorous TMZ tour guides. Riders can enjoy a comfortable, enclosed bus with large screen video monitors featuring hysterical material created by the producers of TMZ. Experience New York like you have never seen it before…through the eyes of TMZ!
