Tom Kummer (born January 14, 1963) is a Swiss journalist who published numerous fabricated celebrity profiles in Germany and Switzerland.〔Kniebe, Tobias. "(Im Kino: 'Bad Boy Kummer', 'Warum darf ich kein Dichter sein? )'", ''Süddeutsche Zeitung''. May 6, 2011.〕 Kummer never even met his subjects. His primary publisher, ''Süddeutsche Zeitung'' issued a public apology for running Kummer's stories, calling them "a betrayal of monumental proportions".〔 His work was also published in ''Der Spiegel'', ''Stern'', the ''Tagesanzeiger'', the ''Berner Zeitung'', and the ''Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung''. Because of the timespan in which his bogus reporting appeared in print, he has earned comparisons to Jayson Blair and Stephen Glass.〔 ==Celebrities profiled== Tom Kummer published fake interviews with the following celebrities: * Courtney Love * Mike Tyson * Sharon Stone * Brad Pitt〔Koltnow, Barry.
