"I thought it was awesome. I was really excited when I heard about it, and the fact that they are openly out there… they look so happy together. It's great that people are able to marry each other whether you are gay or straight." —Tila Tequila, reality show star and the reason gays are allowed to marry in California, seen here with girlfriend and Yahoo heiress Courtney Semel [Us]
Tila Tequila, the STD-ridden reality show loser who does the GLBT community no favors, is clearly delusional. At last night’s Hollywood premiere of The Love Guru, she announced that she played an integral part in California dropping the ban on gay marriage:
Sad, confused MySpace cewebrity and reality star Tila Tequila blames her unsuccessful quest to find true love on the media. Despite picking Bobby Banhart as the winner of A Shot At Love, the two quickly fell out of, ahem, love when, as this sort of things tends to happen with C-list celebrities, the media started attacking them.
"The media says something about him, and he retaliates, and I'm like 'That's not how it was.' And it ends up being, like, unfortunate," she told the Associated Press.
And also: There's the little part about Banhart being an egregious self-promoter. Totally in a not-like-Tila way. CONTINUED »
• Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson look just like you thought they would in bathing suits, which is to say, not that sexy.
• Tila Tequila dresses just like you thought she would, which is to say, immodestly.

• Daniel Radcliffe dates just who you thought he would, which is say, his co-stars.
• Amy Winehouse destroys her career just like you thought she would, which is to say, she won't attend the Grammy's because of her drug problems.
• Rihanna has all the body parts of a regular person, just like you thought she would, which is to say, there are pictures of her nipples available online.

Every week, there are so many eventful developments that we almost can’t keep track of them all. So for your convenience and ours, we’ve dispatched Intern Whitney to remind us what made the past week special.
• Obama and Huckabee won the Iowa primary in the election that has carried on for far too long already.

Tila Tequila is facile on camera, which makes her an appealing reality TV character.

Love is so strange. You’d think with cameras, cable backing and a dozen or so men and women, internet sensation Tila Tequila would be able to find love. And she did, very briefly, with a guy named Bobby.
Unbelievably, Tila Tequila has made herself emotionally available for a second season of the show. MTV and Tila Tequila have such great timing. Or maybe they're just trying to capitalize off of her sex appeal by creating fictitious relationships.
A SHOT AT RATINGS GOLD After choosing a man in her bi-sexual quest for love (and racking up 6.2 million viewers for the finale), MySpace cewebrity Tila Tequila will watch her Shot at Love show get spun-off with That's Amore, which follows Shot contestant Domenico Nesci in a Bachelor rip-off. [THR]
Keeping it real has its perks. Owing up to its lowest common dominator cultural values has boosted ratings for MTV.
Because of shows like The Hills and A Shot At Love with Tila Tequila, ratings for viewers aged 12 to 34 are up 13 percent, which is the first time MTV ratings have gone up in more than two years.
God, MTV.
First we hear that The Hills is fake, and now Tila Tequila is straight. What’s next, the Real World isn’t real?
A source close to the Shot At Love production claims Tila is not bi-sexual at all. In fact, she’s got a BF, and is just using her sexuality to springboard her career [Ed: since when is looking slutty on a social networking site a career?]. Get out!
Reports Page Six:
Tila has and has had a boyfriend for over a year, and she's not really bi. She's made out with some girls in her past, as all girls have, but she is not bi at all … This is a massive scam . . . That's why they are not continuing with the show [for a second season], because she won't dump him.
We know, we know. This looks bad. But if the source at Page Six thinks all girls have made out with other girls, Tila Tequila might still be a bit bi-curious.
• It's a bird! It's a plane! No wait, it's just Christian Slater's inordinately large/shiny forehead.
• Nicole Kidman's children refuse to respect her authority.
• Come on, Steve-O. Everybody knows when you smoke weed out of a soda can, you gotta go with Coca Cola classic.
• Not sure what to get your grandparents for question? Just ask yourselves, "What would Tila Tequila do?" Then go ahead and do the exact opposite.
• Hey Katie Holmes: Salisha from Top Model called. She wants her annoyingly perky bob haircut back.
Tyra Banks graciously hosts MySpace celeb (and MTV reality star) Tila Tequila on her show to find out more about this crazy thing called bisexuality. Among Tyra's hardhitting questions: "Who pays when two girls go out on a date?" Sigh. If only state legislatures and conservative Republican politicians could be as progressive/enlightened as Tyra. Oh, wait a sec! They already are. [Queerty]
Whatever your Halloween plans were, you probably had more fun than the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers and the Writers Guild of America.
The two groups failed to negotiate a new contract as the deadline expired last night. The scribes who create Dave Letterman’s Top 10 List and find the stupid headlines for Jay Leno are now working without a contract, but they probably won’t be for much longer. Last week, guild members authorized a strike anytime after their contract expired with a 90% majority.

When it's unexpected chilly outside and we're feeling frigid and unmotivated, there's nothing that gets us pumped up in the morning quite like reading a crotchety lament on the pitfalls of celebrity culture sponsored by the always-curmudgeonly New York Times. Like this one, from the Sunday paper.
How can Tila Tequila have become enormously famous having done little of note beyond appearing as Playboy’s Cyber Girl of the Week? When exactly in the Warholian arc of fame did we arrive at a point where we create celebrities of people so little accomplished that they make Paris Hilton look like Marie Curie?
And while we're guessing the aforementioned questions are rhetorical ones, we're just glad to see Gray Lady turn her venerable powers of authority, influence and unparalleled senior angst to yet another worthy cause: Hurting Tila Tequila's feelings.
If it seems as though practically everyone has their own reality show these days, it's probably because they do. Nowadays, reality show contestants are from all walks of life, from the snotty over-privileged walking rhinoplasties on The Hills, to the bisexual MySpace phenomenon Tila Tequila to the morbidly obese Queen of Mean (and Whiz Of Microsoft Paint!) Perez Hilton, seemingly interconnected only by means of their below-average intelligence quotient and above-average interest in becoming reality trainwrecks.
Which is why we're annoyed, but not exactly surprised, to hear that Chris Crocker (a.k.a. the screaming, crying, guyliner-wearing, self-appointed defender of Britney) has already inked a development deal with 44 Blue Prods.
"Chris first got on our radar a year ago," said 44 Blue prexy/co-founder Rasha Drachkovitch, who said he wants to develop a show that plays to Crocker's strengths.
And by "strengths" Drachkovitch presumably means "spontaneously weeping, stunted emotional development and overabundance of mascara."
