It was also announced in the spring of 2011 that TMZ would be launching ‘TMZ Live’ in a partnership with Sirius XM Radio. "TMZ is the undisputed leader in breaking celebrity and entertainment news," said SiriusXM President and COO, Scott Greenstein. "This fast-paced and entertaining one-hour program will keep our listeners connected to the biggest stories of the day. TMZ Live is an exciting addition to our robust news and talk lineup."

And as TMZ has grown, so has Levine's cache and influence. He has become an outspoken advocate for gay rights in the media and he's even engaged in a feud with news powerhouse CNN. Levine was even invited to roast troubled Hollywood star Charlie Sheen, but was unavailable and had to decline the invitation. He's also been asked to speak on the ongoing issues concerning privacy and the media, proving that more and more people are interested on what he has to say.
