TMZ.com has launched StarVsStar.com, a celebrity-oriented take on fantasy sports team websites. Players join teams, assemble a roster of celebs and face off against other teams, with points given weekly based on celebrity coverage in the media (including TMZ). The site also offers star game cards, message boards and a weekly video webcast.

On Wednesday, TMZ.com expanded beyond its now ubiquitous entertainment and celebrity reporting and into the fantasy fray with the newly unveiled Web site http://www.StarVsStar.com.
