Is Tila Tequila a Fraud?

[DDM]

According to this (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,314116,00.html), Tila Tequila is a fraud since she has a steady boyfriend of 5 years & is straight as an arrow, not bisexual as she claims on the awful train wreck Shot of Love.

Tila also refuses to break up with said boyfriend.

Who's Tila Tequila?

This is the most appropriate and encouraging response that could possibly happen.

Unfortunately, I know who she is. I can ask another question along the same lines though. Who cares?

I do, and only because her 'show' (word used cautiously) gives LA morning radio so much ammo, its not even funny. Just listening to the clips and what kind of sad posers volunteered just make me doubt humanity more and more, yet gives me a few LOL moments at my desk.

A shame she couldn't just keep her Myspace noteriety there. I hope its not cause of her looks either - she looks like any other $.10/dozen club hopping Angeleno who thinks they're God's gift to men.

[Rattlehead]

Is this the broad that sings that dumb song about not messing with me, Ima f88k you up?

If so I hope she gets hit by a bus.

[blackdragon6]

its interesting that girls can get called out on not being really gay or bi.but guys don't get that kinda luxury.its funny how society works lol

Heh! That's how I know the show, too. From the clips they play, it's so bad that I've wondered before if it'd been faked. So really, the idea of the whole thing being a gag wouldn't surprise me, because I tend to think that about all such shows (really, how else do you assemble any number of women for the singular goal of nailing Flavor Flav?).

Dude, between "Shot of Love" and "I Love New York" minority women have taken 5 steps back. As a proud Asian American myself (TM) I can't stand what she's been doing. Asian American women have a hard enough time w/ the "Asian Doll"/submissive stereotype and she's gotta act the fool in front of thousands (millions?!?) week in and week out.

I don't need to know that she's 'dating' a dude for X amt of years to consider her a fraud. Her behavior already puts her on my 'list'.

Don't forget the damage that Bret Michaels' Rock of Love has done for the perception of faded white rock stars! :)

(Seriously, seeing him cry about his diabetes was pretty sad)

[the goddamn batman]

ummmm... pretty sure she's done pron... with girls. Maybe I'm wrong, i don't look at a lot of pron, but I seem to remember coming across that info somewhere.

That and I don't watch her show... no, I REFUSE to watch her show. SO maybe I'm thinking of someone else? Any big pron fans out there know?

[Jared]

Though I'm no expert, I think she's posed nude before, but she's not a porn star. Not even the "accidental" kind, AFAIK.

[the goddamn batman]

I don't think it was hard core or anything... but again, I don't know. I've not seen it, just read about it.

[The Xenos]

Holy crap! An MTV reality show is mostly a put on and its star is acting out a made up role? Wow. Didn't see that one coming.

Most of these reality shows are put ons and garbage. This one sounded especially fake and tacky.

As for easier for girls pretending to be bi or lesbian. Well, hell, just the mechanics of the acts are easier for women. Though I agree it is socially more acceptable.

As for her previous action with girls, barely soft core model shoots with other girls isn't quite pron. Though again, two girls making out and rubbing against each other isn't really that big of a deal. Okay.. my dirty mind may make a big deal of it, but really it's not that big of a deal.

Well, it's not not pron... but yeah, I don't know, some girls will do a lot of shit for money they wouldn't do out of any true desire.

Typing it correctly has a way of bringing about the spambots... so, I always type pron.;)

Also? It's kinda like 'teh'.

[maczero]

I'm ashamed to admit that I've seen the show (more than once). Well as far as the premise, I knew it was fake. However, the real interest is seeing the contestants make asses out of themselves. I was kind of surprised how average looking these folks were (some of them are downright fugly). Usually these shows are filled with wannabe actors/actresses and models.

I thought Tila Tequila is exactly a wannabe actor & professional non-porn model by being on this MTV show as a launching pad to get beyond the internet "fame"?

I am so glad I never watched this show, despite the multiple airings MTV laid it on. After a time, I thought MTV became Tila Tequila-TV they aired it so often...!

Real World must have lost its mojo...

[The Zapper]

She's a stuck up, self centered attention whore on the show.

I don't see any fraud there. Just a waste of flesh*


*This is Shuma-Gorath's burn. I just stole it.

[Shellhead]

Even with my Firefox defaulting to moderate filtration (my girlfriend wants it that way), my search for "Tela Tequila porn" got more than 1,000 hits. And Google helpfully asked if I meant "Tila Tequila porn" which yielded 583,000 hits.

So I clicked on the first link, and got to see her playing the rusty trombone. Ugh. When I got a look at her face later in that same clip, it looked very much like her, judging by the long space between her eyes.

[howyadoin]

Are you sure it was her and not one of the 18 million other southeast Asians in porn? From what I'd heard, she'd never done any hardcore (a friend of mine always laments this). Or were you talking about an actual trombone?

I think my post was pretty specific, though not giving the exact link. Do a google search like mine, and you should get to the same Pornotube site that I got. It might not be her, but I used to have a real thing for asian women, and I can tell you that this Pornotube girl and Tila both have eyes that are unusually far apart for asian women.

[Nyssane]

Not surprised, but I too did not know who Tila Tequila was before the show. I am ashamed to say, however, that I love the show and I watch it religiously. It's too bad that Tila isn't half as entertaining as her reality cast mates.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

I saw a clip on The Soup and some dude was making an idiot of himself for her. I wonder if the contestants know their there for the amusement of us and Tila since theres no way she'll ever be with one of them ?

Strange, I would have thought she was a lesbian pretending to be bi on the tv show.

[Magneto_X]

its interesting that girls can get called out on not being really gay or bi.but guys don't get that kinda luxury.its funny how society works lol

Because everyone loves lipstick lesbians. :D

[Weapon Ick]

What is the goal of the show? I never understand what, specifically, the contestants on these "blank of love" shows are competing for. Most of these shows have sequels and I believe that most of the contestants understand that they are not getting a committed relationship by winning the show.

If the contestants are still able to win the prize on Shot of Love while Tila has a boyfriend then she is not making any fraudulent claims.

[kmeyers]

It's funny that dumbasses are starting to realise that the crazier they act equals more screen time for their "future stardom."

It's much like American idol. Those people really don't think they're good, they're that bad on purpose to be on tv.

[Sean Walsh]

Seriously, why isn't there a "Who?" option in the poll. I really can't answer either question because "Who?" REALLY needs to be up there.

"Internet celebrity" is just a sad term, too. Makes me pity them, whoever they are, because their significance will soon be gone. It also makes me hate the world around me, because they help create said significance.

[the goddamn batman]

I think you've just condemned yourself there.

I'm ok with that. What a bunch of random strangers on the internet think of me matters very little to me in the end.;)

Also? I think it's funny.

Also also? What's wrong with teh pron?

[xnef1025]

Wait, so this chick's "claim to fame" is that she has the most myspace friends of anyone on myspace? That's such bullcrap... if I allowed even half the spambots that email me to be added to my friends list on myspace I'd look like I have about a billion friends... and I don't even use my myspace page.

Shows like this (I don't watch this one) are great as a social study of our (USA) nation. I watched Rock of Love and I'm watching I Love New York, and for me, I feel as if I'm a Roman citizen sitting atop a hill watching Rome burn.

Burn baby. BURN!

Who's Tila Tequila?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tila_Tequila

In short:
Tila Nguyen (born October 24, 1981), better known by her stage name Tila Tequila, is an American model, entertainer, and singer residing in West Hollywood, California. She is known for her appearances in Stuff, Maxim, Time, Penthouse, her role as host of the Fuse TV show Pants-Off Dance-Off and her position as the most popular person on MySpace as of April 2006.[1] She was raised in Houston, Texas. Her MTV show A Shot at Love With Tila Tequila premiered on October 9, 2007.

Google is your friend.

[drwho]

Its hard to believe if what they are saying is true. Only one person had come out and said it about the show. Maybe she has an open relationship with her boyfriend which would really suck of her for leading the other people on. Also you can be bi and have a straight relationship for years. Not like you have to always have both at the same time.

[Erik Lehnsherr]

Her ass is too flat for me to care.

[lboinyamouf4sho]

Don't get me wrong; I'm not telling you how to live your life or anything. But you should be aware that saying stuff like that makes you sound a bit simple.

well this might make me sound extremely simple, but i like porn.

anyways i couldn't help come across the show here and there while flipping channels but 1 part my girlriend insisted i see was the fight durring an elimination. that said the only good thing i've seen on the show was the face that stupid looking itallian guy made durring the fight, that was awesome.

Most of them don't care about getting with the supposed object of their affections. Make a fool out of yourself and you can stretch your 15 minutes of fame into your own show (New York) or pop culture notoriety (Puck or Omarosa).

For some reason 12 year old girls love to watch rich socialite idiots act poorly in badly written but supposed to be real tv shows.

MTV has dozens of these. They're got to be ding well ratings wise.

Some of their "reality" shows are good, though. Like Real World/Road Rules and America's Next Top Model.

Is Tila Tequila a Fraud?

Aside from her fake tits and her fake hair color, I'm afraid that Tila Tequila is all too real. Real greedy, real obnoxious, and really, really opportunistic. Still, who can blame her? She doesn't seem to have any particular skills aside from self-promotion, so she needs to make as much money as possible before she loses her looks in her early 30s. It's the same deal with these pro football players, they have an average of 4 years to make their fortune before that career-ending injury or bad season.

I guess cause of her name i keep thinking shes latina, oh well.
i don't watch much tv nowadays but all those reality dating type shows are fake but just because she has a steady boyfriend doesn't mean shes not bi.
and i guess shes kinda cute in a way.

I recently heard this quote from the movie Network.

You're beginning to believe the illusions we're spinning here, you're beginning to believe that the tube is reality and your own lives are unreal. You do. Why, whatever the tube tells you: you dress like the tube, you eat like the tube, you raise your children like the tube, you even think like the tube. This is mass madness, you maniacs. In God's name, you people are the real thing, WE are the illusion.

The Real World "cast" knows what to do given it has been on for so long. The same applies to other long standing reality shows such as Road Rules. However, I'm waiting to hear about one of these cast members getting murdered by another cast member at some point...

What would MTV do then? Panic. And fight a monstrous lawsuit, despite the contracts the "cast" is forced to sign. It may well signal the end of such trashy shows...

I doubt Real World/RW is anywhere near as scripted as most of MTV's "reality" series. Mostly it looks like ordinary people who are manipulated off-camera by the producers then they sit back to watch the cast react to each other and/or scenes are edited to make them look more dramatic then they really are. Same with ANTM.

[Magneto_X]

I chalk it up to using the same script-writers on every show.

Makes sense. All the shows sound exactly the same and as boring as watching paint dry.

[Black Atom]

As someone else pointed out, while it might not be outright fake, it's quite staged. This has been going on with Real World for a while. They usually grab the same archetypes: a bitch, a basketcase, a slut, a gay guy, a country boy who hates gay guys, and a nice guy with a horrible temper. Wash, rinse repeat. Like any other type of TV, reality TV has a formula.

Heidi and Spencer Fake It on The Hills

Get your tissues out, Hills fans, because here’s a depressing tidbit that wasn’t included in Monday night’s crapola cram session: The Hills is one big sexy pile of fake. Admit it - you already knew this but just couldn’t bring yourself to acknowledge the (fake) truth. Sadly, our fave reality show is as made up as Santa Claus - just in a pair of Ray Bans with a lovely Louis Vuitton bag. Check out these pics taken yesterday of Heidi and Spencer staging an airport drop off and pick up at LAX. They change shirts to make it look like two different occasions, but the rest of their outfits are exactly the same.

This should come as no surprise, especially when the show’s executive producer has basically revealed that the show is staged. But rest assured dear fans, everything Lo does is 100% real, baby! There’s nothing fake about the way she says “Justin Bobby” or flashes her crotch for the cameras. She can’t help but be real - real effing nuts. Team Lo(co)! [Getty]

The producers antagonize the cast by giving them copious amounts of free booze & they also isolate each cast member to believe someone else or a group of cast members to spark more "outrage." The producers & director essentially pull the cast's strings. I would not believe anything that comes out of the producers/directors mouths.

Between the booze & the easy manipulation of each cast member, it might as well be written.

I haven't been watching the Real World as much as I used to in recent past but I checked the last couple of episodes where that girl got kicked off for trying to fight the Brunette exotic girl and then the other girls got all catty and started spitting on the glass of that room of where the Brunette girl was having a phone call. I kept wondering..."who in the HELL would put up with something like that?". They weren't that tough in their hometowns but NOW they're tough on television? The brunette should of hung the phone up and straight BACKSLAPPED them quick. Put a complete stop to it. I can't IMAGINE ever having to deal with something that insane. Mind boggling. It's a damn shame that you have to act like daddies to girls who are in college.

[Lord of Denial]

I normally don't wish this kind of thing on people, but Spencer Pratt really needs to be cockpunched. Repeatedly. And hard.

Is he the one with the flesh colored beard?

[Magneto_X]

The brunette can't backslap anyone.

Any violence that hurts any other cast member means said cast member who did will automatically be kicked off the show.

^^It needed to be done if you are gonna get harassed like a piece of garbage on national television.

Which is the other problem. In the real world (not to be confused with The Real World, TM) you get your face stomped in good for half the stuff these people say/do to eachother, which is usually what prevents people from doing it to begin with. On shows like these, people know they have a safety net so they act out.

i still can't believe that black comedian got booted off for that so called rape,
i'm still not over that.

[Erik Lehnsherr]

Oh yes..the David situation from season 2 in LA. And who pushed it to the forefront? Why the filthy joke known as Beth. She became a reality TV loser while he did some roles in Hollywood where he didn't need to rely on his reality television status.

and most people don't exactly have successfull careers after the real world or any reality show television.
i know Eric Neiss had some success early on and judd winnick but i can't think of anybody else that has been successfull outside of reality tv.

i always wondered what happened to that cowboy from that season, i always felt like he could have been succesful for some reason.

[Erik Lehnsherr]

What happened to Joe from the Miami season? He was a business graduate, right?

Kim Stoltz from season 5 of ANTM is now a reporter for MTV and E!, had a guest role on Veronica Mars and is a model for Elite Model Management. She didn't even win the season she was in. The girl who did was Nicole Linkletter.
Kim even came back for a cameo in season 8 for ANTM.

Kimberley Caldwell (American Idol) and Rosanna Tavarez (Pop Idol) both host reality show/s together on TV Guide's channel.

Doesn't one Tonya from Road Rules or The Real World do softcore porn?

[Magneto_X]

Uh huh thats only three Mags out of how many reality shows?

I'm sure there are others but most don't get that fame. One even became a one hit wonder with a band in the 90's but I can't remember who it was or what band/song they had.

Tim from Road Rules has a tv show on Discovery, I think.

The brunette from Real World Paris is a model now, too.

However, they can get instant money from MTV by touring universities talking about their experiences on the show IIRC.

LOD:

First I've heard. I'd have thought Trishelle would have gone that route. But it makes sense. Tonya suffers from chronic biological problems so she's always in dept so I guess it does make sense.

The chick from RW Paris was one of the female leads in Poseidon. And she has been in some other major movies.

[pariah-1972]

I know Trishelle has done playboy but thats not softcore porn at least imo and there have been two girls from survivor that posed nude too.

[Jade_GL]

What reality tv star isn't a fraud?

I mean, I haven't seen but .5 seconds of the show myself, but I knew her from her picture spread in Maxim (my BF Gets it, not me ya freaks). I always thought she was weird looking and an attention whore. Guess I was right on the second part.

I don't get these shows. I like some reality tv (Top Chef, Project Runway) but this celebrity dating stuff is just lame to me.

[Magneto_X]

Yep that's her.

I meant Mallory Snyder.

I had a crush on her the second I saw her on RW:Paris. :D

She has a nice personality on the show, too.

[Jared]

Trishelle is on Dr. Steve-O. I could have sworn I've seen her in a commercial for a restaurant chain, maybe Applebees's or Ruby Tuesday's.

Tonya Cooley did at least one skinemax flick, and I have to say, she may damn well have found her calling. I think she appeared in, maybe hosting, a Girls Gone Wild Video. (I only saw a commercial, honest).

Both girls, and a host of other reality stars, are in the B-movie The Scorned, which was made as part of a show on VH1 (or was it E?). I actually liked that show more than any of the others from which the participants came.

Is she the one with the weird eyes?

[Erik Lehnsherr]

She's the one that has sex with any and everyone. I'm surprised she's not doing porno. I mean she does have those nympomaniac traits.

Well, she does have some standards. I remember Andy Dick getting all pissed off on the Surreal Life that she apparently spurned him, while drunk no less!

well either way the winner of her show and tila broke up

suprising? no

The winner believed in the show's hype; he really thought he "won" her as his girlfriend. Tila had other ideas.

The guy went and told the press that he didn't even get her phone number. I laughed out loud when I heard that on the radio. What was he thinking, that she really liked him? That it was real?

Yes, MTV is running it sometime on the network as I type. I forget what it is called. I don't think they are re-running his show into the ground like Tila Tequila's show.

Tila is worried about Tila. Everyone else seems to be fleas to her.

He just learned a very rough lesson on national television.

He posted about the show on his MySpace page. Warning: This guy spells even worse than you do, Supe.

Bobby Banhart: well everyone wants to know so here it is she never called me after the last show and no one would give me her number so pretty much I feel like and ass but we are not 2gather u cant have a realationship bye urself ya know so now you all know and sometimes no matter how bad you want things to work out they dont and theres nothing you can do i tryed… thank you all

Wow. What is he, a 14-year-old girl?

[Khan Zor-El]

She's an ugly pug-faced piece of gutter trash that ranks with scum like Anna Nicole Smith.

[Karl H]

It's a "Reality" TV show. The concept of reality TV is effectively a stage managed myth anyway. No-one is EVER who they seem. It's all a big fat joke on the public who believe this excrement

Some examples,

Ryan Seacrest's ex-girlfriend appearing on the Amazing Race.
The placement of people with genuine talent in UK shows such as Search for a Joseph in order to ensure that the winner is acceptable.
Leona Lewis' sleeping with Simon Cowell years before appearing on X-Factor.

The list goes on.

Sadly, if you believe everything on 'Reality' TV your own 'Reality' is pretty flawed. It's just not worth getting wound up over.

The fake skank is back for Shot of Love 2 (http://www.mtv.com/ontv/dyn/tila_tequila/series.jhtml)...:rolleyes:

MTV should really call the show, Shot of Self-Promotion or Narcissistic Candy Egos. I would really like to see Tila Tequila to have the joke at her expense with all of the contestants & crew "in" on the joke while Tila Tequila has all of the public humiliation aimed at her hollow ego. She more than deserves it.

[Nyssane]

She's an ugly pug-faced piece of gutter trash that ranks with scum like Anna Nicole Smith.

At least Anna Nicole was entertaining comedically, what does Tila have to offer? Really, the contestants on her show are 100% more interesting than her herself. She doesn't even have the extravagant New York appeal to her, either.

[Agent_Torpor]

Oh god, of course she is, like any other reality-based star or starlet on basic cable nowadays.

No more of a fraud than LC on The Hills, though.

You mean Flavor Flav, and Brett Michaels aren't really looking for true love on their shows either?

[DDM]

You mean Flavor Flav, and Brett Michaels aren't really looking for true love on their shows either?

Brett Michaels has a new CD & Flavor Flav has a new sitcom in the can. These "love" shows are promotional vehicles for the stars to keep them in the public consciousness. Therefore, the answer to question is no. He's not really looking love.

[DDM]

From the commercials, Tila says the guy who won her "didn't work out." How can it work out if she refuses to speak to him afterwards? And she did not give him her number? She is total scum.

At the end when she does the pick the person, I would like to see the winner reject her on national television & calling her out for her narcissism. It would be great for her boyfriend of several years show up too & start asking embarrassing questions to her.

[Domo Goddess]

I watched a couple of Tila's music videos and I wasn't impressed.
That I Love U song is a bit obnoxious.

Her girl on girl videos, and photos pretty much made me a a believer in that she is bi and has been so for a while.

Lol didn't the first season of I Love NY end like that? The winner rejected her?

Was it ever stated what happened to Tila and Bobby?

[The Xenos]

Why tease us with acting so slutty yet still making things PG-13 or even R rated. Give us a hardcore pornography already or quit teasing us.

That's the thing about sex scenes and sexy models in TV shows and even movies. They act like it's controvertial. Pfff. If I wanted to I could go download some movies or go to some porn store and buy some real porn if I want titilation. This fake pornography that MTV is selling is a joke. Another joke is this this Unrated DVD scam the MPAA and the studios are yanking us with.

To quote Tom Leher, Give me smut and nothing but!

[DDM]

Lol didn't the first season of I Love NY end like that? The winner rejected her?

The relationship "never worked out" because Tila Tequila is not interested in any relationship since she has a boyfriend of several years; Shot of Love is simply a publicity machine for her. Bobby believed it was real & never even got her phone number. She's a fake. Plastic has more skin than this woman claiming to be a human being.

[Conn Seanery]

I hadn't even heard of her until a couple of weeks ago when I happened to catch a bit of the first season of her car wreck of a show. And while I can't go back to not knowing who she was, I can certainly go back to not caring.

I don't see how it's anything to get bent out of shape over either, it's trash TV. If she's a fraud, she's a fraud. Change the channel and watch something else. If you can't handle the fact that she's making money off of this, seek therapy. I can't believe this thread is 153 posts long...

my level of care for this person is the same as my level of care for the girls who willingly participate in the girls gone wild videos/commercials. which is to say, none.

What I don't get is how anyone believes that ANY of these reality dating shows are real in any way.
