Re-Capping My New Year’s Party!!!

Tila Tequila Fan — Tue, 01 Jan 2008 18:22:24 +0000

So it’s 5am in NYC and I just got home from one of the wildest nights of my life! Hosting New Year’s Eve for 2008 has to be the best thing that has ever happened to me! I had the time of my life and I will be sure to tell my grandchildren and their children about this magical night!!!! And for me to come home and go straight to the computer to check in with you all….well….that just shows how passionate I am about my friends and fans! No matter what, you guys will always come first because I love you! YAYYYYY! and no that is not the bubbly talking! HAHA!

Anyway….the night was amazing except for the fact that Bobby had broken up with me a few days before all of this went down. I wasn’t expecting it at all because I thought I had finally found someone that I was compatible with, but I guess I was wrong. My hectic schedule was really hard on him and we both were getting frustrated, but at the same time…..I just wanted to find someone who would understand what a crazy lifestyle I have so it’s too bad that things didn’t work out between us. With that said I just want to make it known that I still think Bobby is a great guy and I wish him the best.

Now that 2008 is here…..I just want to keep looking ahead and know deep in my heart that I will find real love one day…..It’s a new year, a new life, and I am looking forward to sharing it all with you once again! You guys rock and always know that I will always be the same downass chick from the first day I signed up on myspace 4 years ago….nothing and no one will be able to change that! THIS YEAR IS GOING TO FUCKING KICK ASSSSSS FOR EVERYONE ON MY FRIENDS LIST! HAHAHA! I LOVE YOU!

Love
Tila

Tila’s Special Announcement
Yes! Everyone gather around and get ready for an exciting year in 2008. Tila officially announced that MTV will be airing a second season of A Shot at Love featuring our favorite bisexual star Tila Tequila! Will the internet’s most popular bisexual choose a girl this time?

Our favorite diva Tila Tequila hosted a great New Years Eve Masquerade Party on MTV tonight. The performances were great and the costumes were even hotter! Tila looked sexy her masquerade costumes, but where were her masks?! MTV definitely knows how to throw a party the right way with the most popular names in the entertainment industry.

It was great seeing Dani Campbell, Domenic Nesci, Vanessa Romanelli, and Ashley McNeely on the show with Tila! You can check out more about your favorite cast members from A Shot at Love by checking out the cast members page. Hopefully everyone out there had a great night, partied hard, and drank responsibly.

Tila Tequila and Bobby Banhart Break Up
On a sadder note, Tila Tequila informed everyone that her and Bobby Banhart broke up earlier that day before the show. Bobby told Tila that he couldn’t handle her hectic schedule. It seems quite unfortunate that only weeks after the reunion show that this happened! Tila’s 11 week long search for love didn’t last long. Who knows, maybe Tila will give everyone’s favorite A Shot at Love cast member Dani Campbell a call!

Tila Tequila Gets a New Haircut!

Tila Tequila Fan — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 18:19:50 +0000

According to Tila Tequila’s MySpace page and new default picture she just got herself a new haircut and highlights! Of course Tila had to take two sexy pictures of herself in a pink leopard bra showing off her cleavage! Too bad we couldn’t see more…

“All alone in my bedroom waiting for you…….Hurry up baby”

“Just got my hair cut and highlighted….do you like it?? =)”

Tila Tequila Featured in Maxim

Tila Tequila Fan — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 05:57:43 +0000

Tila Tequila has just been featured in Maxim’s December 2007 magazine. The page covers the topic about her bisexuality and being a pioneer of online media. Tila Tequila was also featured on the cover of the Maxim UK magazine in August of 2006. Maxim referred to Tila as a “net sensation” and the “sexy queen of MySpace,” which both describe her perfectly.

Born to Be Bi
“I’ve always been bisexual. Even before I was 10 years old, I would play around with other girls. I’ve been attracted to women my whole life, so I wasn’t, like, figuring myself out. As soon as I hit high school, I came out with it and didn’t care.”

Does Your Mama Know?
“When I explained to MTV that it hasn’t been easy finding someone in my personal life and that I’m bisexual, they said, “Let’s capture that!” I was hesitant only because I hadn’t told my parents I was bi, but then I figured this would be a good way to let them know.”

Down With Haters
“People would call the police on us while we were shooting and say ‘There are two girls making out.’ I was like “Maybe I should call the cops because I see straight people holding hands!” Show or no show, there will be people who don’t want to open their minds.”

New Media Magnate
“I’m proud to be one of the pioneers of internet media. I joined MySpace because I kept getting kicked off Friendster–I had too many friends! With my music, I turned down major label offers and released my songs on iTunes instead. I call my sound gangsta pop. It’s a mix of pop and hip-hop, with lyrics about all kinds of things…Including sex, naturally.”

Rock Confidential: Tila (Tequila) Nguyen

Tila Tequila Fan — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 02:50:26 +0000

The Rock Confidential interview with Tila Tequila was mainly about her experience on the show “Surviving Nugent.” She definitely gives the viewers and her fans the insider about the taping of the show! If you enjoyed the reality show on VH1 you’ll enjoy this exclusive interview as well!

Source: Rock Confidential

Rock Confidential: There are a few things I want to discuss, but SURVIVING NUGENT has got to be the first! How were you approached to be on the show?
Tila Tequila: I don’t know how but these people called me out of nowhere. I guess they probably still had my profile from a while ago or something.

Rock Confidential: Did you know much about Ted Nugent’s personality before going on the show? I’m sure you knew a couple of his songs but did you have any idea he was so over-the-top with himself?
Tila Tequila: Yea, I knew of Ted Nugent and I heard a lot of crazy stuff about him. Prior to that I’d never met him or been to his concerts or anything so it made me kinda nervous.

Rock Confidential: What was the first thing you said to yourself the first time you met Ted?
Tila Tequila: This is going to be easy! haha!

Rock Confidential: Only the people like you who were there for the experience got to see IT ALL. What are some things editors cut out of the final production?
Tila Tequila: Oh god, they cut out A LOT! For instance, Joe (the black guy) quit the show on the first day, but they tried to make him stay so it wouldn’t mess up the show. Also, I got one of the camera guys fired…hahaha! But it wasn’t my fault man! =P I also DID jump into the pool to save the geese as well but they didn’t show that part dammit! I was pissed off! There was a lot of stuff they didn’t show…..

Rock Confidential: Ted’s been known to be quite the womanizer over the years…Shemane has finally calmed him down, though. Were you able to pick up on the reason(s) women are/were attracted to him?
Tila Tequila: Ummm…..maybe cuz he’s a rockstar?? lol….I have no idea…Ted was before my time.

Rock Confidential: Did you do anything on the show that you never in a million years thought you would have done?
Tila Tequila: Nah, they picked me to be on the show thinking that I was going to be like, “eww gross! Ewww!” But it was actually a lot of fun. It’s not everyday you get to gut and skin a boar you know? Or make your own shitter…haha!

Rock Confidential: The final round of the competition was pretty rough. Did you think the producers thought a female would have made it as far as you did? Do you think you would have had a chance to win?
Tila Tequila: I thought I should’ve won dammit! Darren (the guy that won) was crying like a little girl and complaining the whole time, and Joe (the black guy) quit on his first day of being there…but hey….maybe Shemane didn’t want to see me win?? haha!

Rock Confidential: Were you offended when Ted said you were a “rich bitch?”
Tila Tequila: Nah that’s more like a compliment. I mean, he couldn’t find anything else to say about me so that was his only excuse…how predictable that he was going to use that line.

Rock Confidential: What did you learn from the show?
Tila Tequila: That being away from the real world, not having watches or cell phones or hot guys around will drive you insane! lol….

Rock Confidential: As a child, you grew up in a gated religious community. You weren’t allowed access to the outside world. Do you think growing up this way made you into a go-getter and more open minded about doing what you wanted with your life?
Tila Tequlia: Of course it did! A lot of stuff that happened to me growing up and it gave me a LOT of street smart and being able to live out this thing we call life.

Rock Confidential: Besides being one of the most gorgeous women on the planet, you’re also a very talented individual. Tell me about your band, Beyond Betty Jean.
Tila Tequila: Good….the fun questions are here! haha! Anyway, people act surprised when they find out I sing for a rock band just because I model as well. I mean, people should really never judge a book by it’s cover, but then again I don’t really care because my work speaks for itself. Anyway, so right now we don’t have anything online yet, HOWEVER we have a mini tour set up for anybody who would like to come to our live shows to check us out. Then after this mini-tour we will be on hiatus for a while to finish writing and recording the rest of our album. Our major influences include the Pixies, My Bloody Valentine, and a little bit of punk…it’s different. You guys should definitely check us out. It’s a 4 piece band with 3 other guys and myself, the singer. It is definitely a lot of work and it can get stressful but once I’m on that stage performing for people….it’s a whole other story. You can get more info about my shows and stuff at my website for now, www.tilashotspot.com

Rock Confidential: Some bands are together for fun – Some are after record deals and worldwide fame. What do you want to do with Beyond Betty Jean?
Tila Tequila: Well first and foremost I’d like to have respect for my band. That comes first and then the getting signed comes after. I mean, to be honest? Who wouldn’t like to have some recognition for their hard work? And on top of that, making music costs money…so getting paid wouldn’t be so bad either.

Rock Confidential: Who are some of your influences? Can you remember the first time you heard someone on the radio and thought, “I’ve got to do that!”
Tila Tequila: It wasn’t on the radio. It was more like in my choir class in middle school and my drama class. Everytime we had to perform I loved every second of it. I knew that I had something special that I needed to show off to the world. Then when I was in highschool my friend took me to my first concert, which was actually a Janet Jackson concert! haha! But either way, I just loved the way she got to be onstage in front of thousands and had everyone singing to her stuff….must be a great damn feeling! But nothing beats a live band playing…it’s raw power and energy, none of that lip-singing shit..

Rock Confidential: Bands sometimes hate this question, others get a kick out of it. How would you describe your music to someone that’s never heard it?
Tila Tequila: I honestly have a problem with this all the time because I really don’t know what you would call us. I myself,hate labeling music however,it does help to kinda list influences and stuff, which I already covered in one of the questions. I mean, we are always working on new stuff and we only do what we feel is right…not what’s “in” or trying really hard to sound like someone else…I just sing and write what I feel is in my heart and I don’t care what anybody else thinks of it. I am damn proud because I get to do what I love most, and having other people appreciate my music will only be a super bonus. We had our first live show right here in L.A. on October 12th and it was packed! I was so appreciative of everyone that came out to support our band for our first show. I was nervous but it turned out awesome once I got onstage and saw how everyone was really diggin’ it. It was awesome! After a while I just forgot that there were people there….it was like I got lost in my own little world for a second and all my problems went away.

Which do you prefer, why:
Rock Confidential: Gibson or Fender?
Tila Tequila: Fender….only because my first guitar was a Fender and she’s my baby…haha!

Rock Confidential: Playboy or Maxim?
Tila Tequila: I’ve been in Playboy numerous times however I’m sorry to say I’d rather read Maxim. Playboy can have too much of the same types of women. It can get boring. I like some flava…haha!

Rock Confidential: Ted or Rocco?
Tila Tequila: Rocco, he’s easier to manipulate…haha!

Rock Confidential: MTV or VH1?
Tila Tequila: Ummm…..MTV like back in the 80’s when it was good…haha!

Rock Confidential: Recording in the studio or playing live?
Tila Tequila: oh playing live..for sure! Long hours in the studio with all the boys can be draining….

Rock Confidential: KISS or 50 Cent?
Tila Tequla: KISS!

Rock Confidential: Motley Crue or Eminem?
Tila Tequila: MOTLEY CRUE! All the hot strippers dance to their shit! haha! Me or …um, ME – Wait…how big is your cock?? lol….

Rock Confidential: Kissing ass or kicking ass?
Tila Tequila: How about kiss my ass or I’ll kick your ass??

Rock Confidential: Buying CDs or burning CDs?
Tila Tequila: Buying CD’s that are great albums and burning those one hit wonders…haha!

Rock Confidential: You’ve had quite an accomplished modeling career so far. What are some of your immediate plans?
Tila Tequila: My band…DUH! =P

Rock Confidential: You have an extremely involved website. You do a lot of writing and updates. How important is your website to you?
Tila Tequila: It’s pretty much my life…it’s a good way to let out whatever it is that I need to let out. Everything that there is to know about me you can pretty much find it on my website….that was the start of the whole Tila phenomenon afterall! haha!

Rock Confidential: What would you like everyone to know about Tila?
Tila Tequila: She can’t stand the winters, she has ADD, and she’s a very bad girl during the summertime. VERY BAD!

VH1’s Surviving Nugent Interview

Tila Tequila Fan — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 02:40:47 +0000

Tila Nguyen (Tila Tequila) was a contestant on VH1’s reality television show “Surviging Nugent.” Tila and six other contestants were competing for a $50,000 cash prize. The reality show premiered on October 1st 2003. Read more for Tila’s full experience and thoughts about being on the show!

Source: VH1 Surviving Nugent

Tila – Contestant

VH1: Why did you want to participate in the show?
Tila Tequila: I was tricked into it!! And that’s the truth! Hahaha! The casting people made it sound like some fantastic fantasy getaway at some exotic place or something, but I had no idea that it was what it was!

VH1: How many Ted Nugent records do you actually own?
Tila Tequila: Besides the one that he gave me at the end of the show? None, but of course everyone knows all his hit singles…Cat Scratch Fever…and ummm….what else?? Haha!

VH1: What was the hardest thing about being in front of the cameras?
Tila Tequila: It was hard for me not to punch them and tell them to f*ck off!

VH1: What was the worst thing Ted made you do?
Tila Tequila: I had to pretty much slaughter this poor, helpless dead Russian bore and made me eat it. SICK!

VH1: What was the one Nugent remark that infuriated you most?
Tila Tequila: Everything? If he wanted to talk politics, talking about it to 7 hungry, starving, and mentally abused people was not helping at all. And all that ass-kissing was getting on my last nerves!

VH1: What was the most humiliating moment of Surviving Nugent?
Tila Tequila: Mmmm….I couldn’t tell you because I will get some people into trouble and I don’t want to do that!

VH1: When were you most embarrassed?
Tila Tequila: I was never embarrassed…just starving to death and every human, animal, grass, trees, etc…started to look like hamburgers to me. I was dying for food! I was so ready to dig on the other people’s bags to see if they had any snacks stashed in there.

VH1: At what moment did you decide that you wanted to kill Ted Nugent?
Tila Tequila: When he was trying to be “Down with the boys” please c’mon…that’s so last year to be all understanding about the “hood” those of you out there know what I’m talking about….or maybe not…haha! It’s like, please…don’t try too hard to be down when you don’t know sh*t about the city life you know?

VH1: What was your best line to Ted himself?
Tila Tequila: I told him that he’s too much of a softy so then he made things tougher for me. That was my bad I guess, but whatever…

VH1: What rock artist would you like to have had in place of Nugent?
Tila Tequila: Damn, why didn’t you guys ask me this crap before I joined the show?? Haha! I would have j*zzed in my pants if it were a show called, “Partying with Riot Girl(Bikini Kill).” Homegurl rocks! She thinks sluts rule and that’s rad! Haha!

VH1: What was the thing that all your friends wanted to know about the show?Tell us what you told them.
Tila Tequila: My friends all wanted to know who won, of course, and what the hell I was doing there! I told them to leave me alone about it because I still needed time to recuperate from my mental abuse.

VH1: Did he ever agree with you or was it always a losing battle?
Tila Tequila: You know what? He left me starving on his ranch/farm/hell hole or whatever you want to call it so I was so hungry that I couldn’t really comprehend what the hell was going on. I just wanted to kill something so I could eat. All the others could do the ass-kissing for me cuz that’s not my thing. I could give a rat’s ass what the hell everyone was yacking about.

VH1: What experience of this show is going to demand a lot of time in therapy?
Tila Tequila: I actually had a lot of fun. You guys should’ve picked a lot more hot dudes so that way if I couldn’t eat, at least I could be making out with somebody or something. That place was driving me nuts! I was losing my mind and I didn’t care….hell, I would’ve humped the pigs if I had to stay there any longer! Hahahhaha! OK just joking, but I definitely would’ve killed them again to eat. You don’t understand…I was STARVING! Every now and then we’ll pick berries off trees as food or eat hay, but that wasn’t cutting it. I had to eat! Oh and by the way, my only freakin’ pair of tennis shoes blew up in the fire that we built to keep warm. I should start suing people! Ok just kidding..don’t cut me off! =P

Up Close and Personal: Tila Nguyen

Tila Tequila Fan — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 02:22:22 +0000

Here’s an interview Tila Tequila did for Import Tuner a while back. The exact date is unknown, if anyone knows when the interview took place please let us know in the comments! If you think you have a shot at winning Tila’s heart there’s some valuable information in the interview such as whether or not she likes the top or bottom. Read the interview now!

Source: Import Tuner

The saying, “Don’t mess with Texas!” is 100-percent true when it comes to Houston bad girl Tila Nguyen. Tila’s been in the import scene for quite some time now, and judging by the inquiring e-mail we’ve received she is a hottie that is way overdue gracing the Tuner cover. Tila started out in the import scene with Houston-based promoters for the Import Expo shows. Her popularity from there skyrocketed and she’s gone on to bigger things, such as the Island Eyes calendars and Playboy. Tila now resides in Los Angeles, and according to her it’s been a non-stop party out here. Making her debut in Import Tuner is Miss Tila Nguyen from Houston, Texas. By the way, this is probably the only girl that is more perverted than us.

Import Tuner: I read on your website that you were a bad girl when you were younger.
Tila Nguyen: Yes, I was a gangster chick. I was really confused then, ’cause at first I thought I was black, then I thought I was Hispanic and joined a cholo gang. I’m not gonna say what gang I was in, but I even tried to do the Spanish accent. (Laughs) I think what got me really deep into the gang scene was the fact that I got sent away to the “Bad Kid” school. It was weird, because we were forced to dress up nice. A lot of the kids there had to take medication to calm them down, and we were constantly being watched. But the fact that I was sent to a place where all the kids were bad influenced me to be even worse than before. I remember the first day of school this big black girl wanted to beat me up. She was all saying, “I’m gonna beat your ass!” I’m only five feet tall but I used to kick ass! (Laughs)

Import Tuner: Run us though one of your victories.
Tila Nguyen: I use to get into fights a lot when I was younger. This one time in middle school my friends didn’t like this one cheerleader chick, so I told my friends that I was gonna hit her in the mouth ’cause she had braces. I also said I was gonna rub her face in the ground so her braces would cut her up even more and make her bleed really bad. Sure enough, I did everything I said I was gonna do and she was all bloody. Here’s the weird part though. By the time I was in high school I happened to see her at a club one night, so I went up to her to apologize. I told her, “I don’t know if you remember me, but we got in a fight in middle school, and I just want to apologize.” She remembered and was fine with the whole thing, but then she started checking me out and saying, “Damn girl, you look good. I wanna eat you out!” I was all thinking, OK, I beat you up and now you want to get it on. That’s weird! I think it all started when I was much younger though. When I was in middle school my older sister was in high school, and I used to hang out with her and all of her friends. She also hung with the bad kids, and when I used to tag along I would jump into their fights and throw in my cheap shots. I was only eleven, but to my friends in middle school I was considered pretty bad-ass since I kicked it with the older kids. In middle school all the kids’ parents would pick them up after school, but I always had a carload of my sister’s friends from high school pick me up. Now I look at it much differently. The bad kid in me comes out every once in a while, but I’m trying to change that. It’s not as cool when you get older.

Import Tuner: When was the last time the bad girl came out?
Tila Nguyen: Last weekend! (Laughs) I was at this club and this girl was all talking shit about me to my friend because of what I was wearing. I was all in this Goth-looking outfit, and my friend told me what she was saying, so when she walked by I tripped her and she turned to look at me and I was like, “Bitch!”

Import Tuner: Hey good job of controlling your anger, huh? Since you were raised in Houston and now live in Hollywood, what are some of the differences between the two?
Tila Nguyen: I love the weather out here, and there are endless things to do, but at the same time I miss my family and friends in Houston. I love the simplicity that Houston has to offer. It’s the small things, like how well you can see the stars at night and the sound of crickets when you go to sleep. It seems really hard to find down-to-earth people in L.A. It seems like a lot of people move out here to get noticed, so that tends to create a lot of competition. When I eventually have kids I would probably want to raise them in California, but somewhere away from the city.

Import Tuner: Now that you know a lot of celebrities, are there any you want to get it on with?
Tila Nguyen: The one that I don’t know but have seen in concert is Gavin Rossdale from Bush. He’s engaged to Gwen from No Doubt. Oh man, if I ever met him I would just shit in my pants. Another person I think is hot–though he’s not even my type–is Prince William. I would love to jump his bones. I just think he would make a great victim! Because he has to live by all kinds of rules and is raised well I would love to be the one that could say to him, “Come here and let me yank your wanker!”(Laughs) I like challenges.

Import Tuner: What type of physical attraction do you look at in guys?
Tila Nguyen: I pay attention to what guys wear; it’s a certain look that I like. Like I said, I hate pretty boys, but I like it when guys wear stuff like Converse, old thrift store shirts, chain wallets and beanies. I also like it when guys have really shaggy, greasy hair.

Import Tuner: I’m gonna throw you a few quick questions. Is there a boyfriend?
Tila Nguyen: What’s a boyfriend? (Laughs) No, I don’t have a boyfriend. I don’t want one for a while.

Import Tuner: Real or fake?
Tila Nguyen: Real on the outside! They’re fake, but they are proportioned to my body very well.

Import Tuner: Top or bottom?
Tila Nguyen: Oh, are those the only choices? (Laughs) Just kidding, it depends on the level of experience.

Import Tuner: How did you get started in the import industry?
Tila Nguyen: I know the guys from Import Expo and they’ve been wanting me to do it for a while, and I finally decided to do it. From that one show I started getting a lot of people that wanted to fly me out for calendar shoots and stuff. Originally I started going to these things just to travel around, but now I travel too much and it gets tiring.

Import Tuner: Now that you have a fan base, what do you love and hate about being in the spotlight?
Tila Nguyen: I absolutely love my fans! But I wish that some of them would understand that when I’m at a car show and I’m taking thousands of pictures it can get very tiring. So one, don’t try and feel me up and think I don’t notice, and two, when the show’s over I really just want to get to sleep–so when the show’s over that means the pictures are over. I think that goes for a lot of models. And last, concerning my website, I want people to know that I do answer all the e-mail sent to me but I get tons of it. Sometimes I don’t write that much, and sometimes it takes a long time for me to respond, so please just cope with me. I appreciate the e-mail, and I love answering it, but there is just so much.
