Please make it stop

Nowadays, I wouldn't bother posting about Tila Tequila. My adoration for her and her show skedaddled when she passed up Dani on the first season of "Shot at Love."

But I noticed that she's coming out with a new music album and the title had me doubled over in pain. The album, which Tila promises will be "the dopest album of the year," will be called "I HAVE TOURETTE'S!"

"PS-PLEASE REMEMBER THE TITLE OF THIS ALBUM SO YOU DON'T GET CONFUSED WITH OTHER STUFF THAT THE MEDIA TRIES TO PUT OUT OK???? MUAH! " she writes on her MySpace page, followed by a number of expletives, presumably in an attempt to show that she might actually have the disorder...? I don't know.

Does anyone else find that appalling? Or are you all just shaking your heads in disbelief that I can still be surprised by garbage like this?

And in other awful --but related-- news... MTV is currently casting for "A Shot at Love 3," only it looks like Tila will not be the subject of suitors' adoration this time around. Fill out an application here.

Tila's exclusion from the show might have something to do with her ass getting dumped at the end of season two, or the fact that she's got a new (and very rich) girlfriend. Courtney Semel, who is the heir of Yahoo! CEO Terry Semel, looks like a bore, though-- Team Dani for life!

Going to the chapel...

If graduating from college, landing a full-time job, paying student loans and owning a car weren't enough to mark my journey into adulthood, today will.

Today, I will be attending Mike and Lisa's wedding--my first two friends to officially tie the knot. And they're certainly not the last. Boy, am I getting old...

Anyway, somewhat fittingly, I heard this on the radio last week: The "Should You Be Invited to My Wedding Test."

How many of your friends do you think would pass your test? And how many guest lists would you be kicked off if this test were issued as a right of passage?

Types of questions include:
  • Name the city I live in now (If they're not smart enough to check out to return address for this answer, they don't deserve to come).
  • Name my current employer.
  • Do you know where my parents are and whether they are still alive? (Rule #16 - Always have an up-to-date family tree)

And for shots (open bar, yes) and giggles, check out this video below. Apparently it's become a big trend to spoof your "first dance" (more than likely amplified by the allure of YouTube), but this is one of the better ones I've seen. Enjoy! And congrats to Mike and Lisa!

I guess they didn't live happily ever after...

Well despite the thousands of New Yorkers and hopeless romantics in their corner, the real-life fairytale 'subway couple' has ended their relationship.


You might recall a post from November in which I easily convinced myself that love at first sight does actually exist by way of NYGirlOfMyDreams.com.

Web designer Patrick Moberg, then 21, from Brooklyn, created the Web site after he fell in love with a girl with a flower in her hair and blue tights under her shorts on the subway. He sketched a picture of her, posted his e-mail address and cell phone and encouraged anyone who knew the girl to contact him.

It took only two days for Moberg to officially meet Australian native Camille Hayton --with the help of some surprisingly sympathetic and romantic New Yorkers. The two dated for about two months, but apparently love at first sight isn't as eternal as some may like to think.
"I think the situation was so intense that it bonded us....[it] bonded us in a way that you could mistake, I guess, for being more romantic than it was. I don't know. But I wanted to give it a go so I didn't wonder what if, what if?"-- Camille Hayton
Moberg has refused to comment on the relationship. He went through all that trouble for her and didn't find love. He should probably start another Web site lamenting about the situation. I'm sure women would fall all over themselves for him.

Ordering up another round of 'Shot'

Surprise, surprise. Tila Tequila and her selected suitor, Bobby, couldn't make their relationship work and MTV has the bi-sexual dating show signed up for another season.

Tila, who hosted a New Year's Eve show for the network, announced Monday that Bobby had broken up with her because he couldn't handle her schedule or dating a "celebrity."
"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."- from Tila's MySpace page.
On the other hand, a MySpace bulletin posted by the boy wonder claims that Tila just stopped calling him after the reunion show, which aired Dec. 23.
"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." - from Bobby's MySpace page.
...which should lead us all to believe that MTV demanded that the two end their relationship, especially because the finale of "Shot at Love" drew 6 million viewers--the highest of the network since November 2002.

And come on, Bobby was pretty silly, but he's not a moron (though, after reading his horrendous grammar and spelling on the post, I might reconsider). Who would land MySpace's hottest vixen (and eat animal testicles for her) and then dump her two weeks later? I had an unnatural love for this silly show, but I don't want it to turn into Flavor of Love, which is coming out with it's like, 17th episode this season. It was pretty unreal before, but it's going to be uber fake now! Come on, MTV...

The show is rumored to begin in the spring of this year and will follow the same format of straight and lesbian hopefuls vying for Tila's affection. And be on the look out for Domenico's spinoff: That's Amore! featuring the Italian stallion and the moronic cowboy, Ashley.

Once upon a time, in the city of New York...

A real-life romantic fairytale came out of New York last week when New Yorkers helped (yes, completely against their nature, they actually helped) a man reunite with a mystery woman he fell in love with at first sight on the subway.

It's almost hard to believe, but Patrick Moberg, 21, constructed a Web site called NYGirlOfMyDreams.com, where he described the encounter both pictorially and literatim--everything from the way her hair was done (fancy braided hair, flower in the back) to her blue shorts with tights underneath. Moherg listed his cell phone number and e-mail address on the Web and encouraged anyone fitting the description to contact him.
On Tuesday, a friend of the girl who had come across the site contacted the modern day romeo and sent a picture of Camille Hayton, an Australia native who interns at BlackBook in NYC.

The two are meeting up and though Moberg is "pulling the shuters on his love life" and declining to update the Web site, we'll just pretend they live happily ever after (and hope for Camille's sake he's not some psycopath cannibal).
