Here's tiny 16-year-old women's gymnastics individual all-around Olympic silver medalist Shawn Johnson (left) -- and "The Ed Sullivan Show's" favorite soft foam Italian mouse Topo Gigio (right).
Only one of them is a puppet.
We're just sayin'...

4. That's messed up! Why would you make fun of someone who performed so beautifully and represented our country so well? She doesn't look like the rat anyway. Shame on you!

6. you should take this down tmz.
i love your sight but shes a 16 year old girl who didn't put herself in the public eye to be ridiculed. shes worked hard to compete for her country and shouldn't have to put up with being compared to a mouse on a website that most of her peers probably log onto.
my two cents

7. Isn't there some sort of law against rooting against and making fun of someone under the age of 16? This girl has devoted her time talent and energy to winning on behalf of every American and you want to put her down?
Whats next? I know I know......why not put pictures of the troops that are serving for our freedom in Iraq picture up when they come home disfigured. All so you have the freedom to do this crap!
REALLY DISTASTEFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

10.
Well, TMZ. That was certainly unnecessary and rude. This young woman has performed exceptionally well, has behaved in a way to make America proud and she is rewarded by you in such a low fashion.
Again, unnecessary and rude.

12. you're just saying......THAT TMZ IS A BUNCH OF RUDE JEALOUS PEOPLE FOR PICKING ON AN USA OLYMPIAN,,,

13. Why don't you stick to talking trash about celebrities instead of a 16 year old girl who has done nothing but represent the United States of America in the best possible light. These athletes have worked so hard and have done so well at the games that the last thing they need is a Hollywood gossip website/tv show to make fun of them over something so childish. Is there really nothing going on in Hollywood so you have to resort to this? I usually don't mind this website and check it during the day but come on, this is a little ridiculous. Leave the young olympians alone and find an attention craving celebrity to make fun of.

14. She is great, and has made her country very proud...actually the total opposite of what TMZ does...

15. You're making fun of a girl who has performed great, carried herself with class and made her country proud... yet, you parade Spencer and Heidi around on here like they are heroes? Stop trying to be outrageous Harvey, you self-hating media wh*re!
