Tila Takes Credit for Gay Marriage

Tila Tequila: Thank Me for Gay Marriage Ruling
If you ask Tila Tequila, she’s the reason gay marriages are now legal in California. “I definitely think (my show) has helped the movement,” Tequila told US Weekly. “Before it came out, everyone was still a little apprehensive about (same sex relationships). Then they realized, ‘Wow, everyone is really into this stuff, and it is fine.’ The next thing you know, (gay marriage) is legal.” Right, that’s why we’re putting a bronze bust of her at San Francisco City Hall and not Harvey Milk. You tell yourself that, Tila.

MIA One Ups Oprah
Sri Lankan indie queen MIA got a lot of flack for charging $100,000 to do a show at the MTV Awards afterparty, but she’s not keeping it all to herself. Like Oprah Winfrey, she plans to build a school in Liberia. The West African country suffered through a seven-year civil war, and a 2000 UNICEF report showed 85 percent of the nation was permanently unemployed with only a 37 percent literacy rate. MIA might need to take a lesson from Winfrey and check in often with her school administrators. The Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy in South Africa was discovered to have a beauty salon and yoga classes, but forbid the girls to speak their native language.
Karen O is a Total Cat Lady
The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are inspired by cats. Singer Karen O revealed in her blog that the upcoming third album was made with the help of “fuzzy, soft muses, aka kittens,” and that they’ve always been there for their past records. “Our last album Show Your Bones was written in Sam Spiegel’s home studio amidst the birth of a litter of kittens, little gold lions scrambling around.” She says cats are “amazingly therapeutic; nothing turns a frown upside down (there are many frowns in the record writing process) as a purring kitten in your lap.” Their third album is expected this fall.
Taboo Proud of Martial Arts Moves
The Black Eyed Peas’ Jaime Luis Gomez, aka Taboo, wants you to know that the upcoming Street Fighter movie “kicks a–,” largely because of his literal butt-whooping martial arts moves. Taboo plays Vega, the Indian guru cum street fighter, opposite Smallville’s Kristen Kreuk, who won the role of Chun-Li after some online controversy over Jessica Biel’s original casting for the role of the Chinese assassin. “I’m the first Latino martial artist on the big screen. There’s none in the caliber of movie that Street Fighter is.” he told Female First UK that he had trained for muay Thai kickboxing and had done tae kwon do since he was 12. “I’ve never considered myself a full-fledged martial artist, but I incorporated that in my dancing, so people would always say, ‘Oh, that’s the ninja dude! That’s the crazy martial arts cat!’”
NICOLE SCHERZINGER: LOVELESS IN THE CITY
Nicole Scherzinger admits she has sacrificed relationships for her career and her music. “I have had to make sacrifices for my career and I would say those have mostly been in my relationships. I am working on so many different projects, it is difficult to maintain a relationship,” the loveless diva said. Maybe she should be even more bummed as her solo album release last fall didn’t even spark any interest, and she was spotting dancing by herself at a nightclub when the song came on. (sad face) Scherzinger admitted to Hello! magazine that she’s so desperate, she’ll even settle for the fake stuff. “I would really love to do a romantic comedy, or maybe a comedy - Will Ferrell, Ali G., Adam Sadler, all these guys make me laugh out loud and I’d like to be part of something like that.” Uh-huh, you do that.
CBS TV’s Kwon Prefers Harlots for Mid-Life Mixer
CBS-5 TV reporter, Sue Kwon, threw a private party for friends and family in the upstairs mezzanine of Harlot (46 Minna Street) to ring in her 40th birthday party with Michael Meadows and Danny Guillory. The ’80s-themed party was kicked off with a special remix CD set, created by Kwon, that included one hit wonders Bow Wow Wow and Lisa Lisa. “Try not to hurt yourself dancing,” Kwon laughed as guests arrived sans ’80s attire — save one fabulous friend whose teased hair endured both endless Lemondrop cocktails and DJ Jerry Ross’ mix. “I was inspired by Something About Mary,” she told me. “The trick is to tease, tease, tease, and tons of hairspray.” Guests under 28 were advised not to attend, “unless accompanied by an adult, haha,” Kwon wrote in her invitations, and even fashion designer Colleen Quen arrived with her husband, furniture designer Rick Lee. Guests dined on a satay and cucumber salad with pad thai, and noshed on a very chic display of gourmet mini-cupcakes throughout the night. Quen will be debuting her commissioned dress on Wednesday’s Asian Art Museum gala for “Power and Glory,” June 25, 6:30 p.m.
Jenner and Seacrest Production Deemed Gayer than Tila Tequila
MTV is rolling out the newest line of reality TV focused on insecure wannabe celebrities in search of an entourage, because buying friendship is too expensive and paying for a male escort will get you on the front page of Star magazine. The Hills’ star, Brody Jenner, and Ryan Seacrest are banking on Bromance — which has a lot of Hollywood insiders snickering about Seacrest’s dubious sexual orientation, and others crying foul over the Entourage-esque storyline. Contestants will be expected to go skydiving, play wingman at night clubs, group date at Spago, and spend lots of “alone time” with Jenner … that is, when he’s not fleeing the Papps. Did I mention the “Hot Tub elimination ceremony”. If anything else could be more wet, hot, and in spandex, it’d get its own float in the Gay Pride Parade.
Spears Shows Her Pussycat in Music Video
Britney Spears: she’s only MILF who still made it to Maxim magazine’s Hot 100 list while apparently subsisting on a diet of Cheetohs and Frapps, while mistaking tunic tops for sundresses. Nevertheless, the “Gimme More” singer is reprising her fame via The Pussycat Dolls, and was spotted in Burbank on the set of their newest music video on June 4. Nicole Scherzinger and Carmit Bachar, the only two Asian American members of The Pussycat Dolls, made both the Maxim Hot 100 list as well as FHM magazine’s Top 100 Sexiest Women. Maybe Spears just wants to be sexy by association? Keep it classy, L.A.
Sharon Stone In More Hot Water
Oh, Sharon Stone … Word has it that the back-tracking actress has been dropped by a Chinese film, Mermaid Island, largely in part to her insensitive comments recorded at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. Stones had indicated that the recent earthquake in Sichuan Province was “karmic,” and that it was done in retribution to the nation’s political stance against Tibetan independence. Although Stone admitted that she was pretty stupid and a victim of “news sensationalism,” it’s not going to bring back her contract with the film or Dior anytime soon.
KT Tunstall: Glastonbury Festival Prejudiced to Jay-Z
Scottish artist KT Tunstall thinks that Oasis‘ Noel Gallagher is an a** … but so does the rest of the world. The only difference is that, this time, Tunstall came to the aid of Gallagher’s recent nasty remarks about Jay-Z’s inclusion in a traditionally rock music festival. “People need to get a f*****g grip - Jay-Z is one of the biggest stars in the world. Of course he should be headlining,” she told Britain’s Daily Star of the June 28th event. “Glastonbury is about diversity and introducing new people to stuff they maybe haven’t seen before. It’s prejudice against hip-hop. So does that mean we should get rid of the world music and dance stages?” Tunstall also called out that nobody cared when Kylie Minogue, clearly NOT rock n’ roll, was included on the roster. Gallagher just got PWND.
KILMER ACCEPTS 50 CENT PAYOUT AND MORE
We know 50 Cent is a pretty passionate guy — I mean, the dude’s house was burned down! But, when it comes to friends, he’s just as hot: 50 Cent treated Val Kilmer to a $100,000 1965 Chevy Impala after they became friends shooting Streets of Blood in Louisiana. They both adore vintage cars, according to In Touch Weekly. “Val was shocked. 50 is an amazing guy and incredibly generous,” said 50 Cent’s producing partner Randall Emmett.
WAHLBERG: GET YOUR A** BACK TO ENGLAND!
Mark Wahlberg wants David and Victoria Beckham to leave Los Angeles, even if Kate Beckinsale insists that the Beckams are just normal and “a hoot” to hang out with. The Boogie Nights actor is sick of the Papp love, and want some privacy. Wahlberg admits never having met the Beckams, “but that f***er lives down the road from me, man! He has to go back to the UK, because he has the paparazzi all over my house. I was in the UK for the last week and they don’t want him back there. They said, ‘Keep him over there!’ ” So much for family values!
Naomi Campbell Has Mystery Op to Get Preggers
I’m not sure if the procedure included an organ donor, but Naomi Campbell apparently wants children even more than a pregnant man, and has also undergone an operation to help her become a mother. “Now I can have a child I would like one. I’m even willing to have one without a father. I know that I am ready. I know that with a baby I would change, I’d calm down. With a child you cannot accept compromises. You have to give your full self.” Uh, yeah, they said that about rehab, too. Friends have offered artificial insemination, because we all know what happens to the male praying mantis, right?
ANTM WINNER CARIDEE ENGLISH ATTEMPTS SUICIDE. FOUND ON THE TOILET, FEELING CRAPPY.
If there’s anything that Lindsay Lohan has ever taught us, it’s that “dehydration” is just code for “screwed up”. CariDee English, winner of cycle 7, was hospitalized just hours after joining other celebrities for the MGM Grand Foxwoods casino opening in Connecticut, and The National Enquirer discovered that English had actually attempted suicide by swallowing pills. “She was so scared,” an insider said. “She kept saying that she didn’t mean to do what she did.” Sounds like she almost pulled a Heath Ledger. She had apparently been drinking too much, and returned to her hotel room — only to be found at 4 a.m. sitting on the toilet in sweatpants and a T-shirt mumbling about how she took 10 pills for depression and anxiety. English blamed her boyfriend for the pills. English is reportedly dating TYSON BECKFORD; she hung out with P. Diddy that night. (June 9)

Got something to say?
Ugh. Can I punch her, please?
Nicole Scherzinger is classy? Well, she can’t write music any better than Britney can, ROTFL! And what’s up with her cloning Tina Turner’s vocal style? Anyhoo, maybe she’ll have better luck charting with Rio, a classic tune written by somebody else.
