Tila Tequila goes crazy live on Ustream, deletes it, but internet never forgets

MySpace celebrity Tila Tequila stripped off on Ustream early this morning and essentially went crazy, but unfortunately, the clip has since been yanked.

We expect it to re-surface at one point or another, but the basic gist was witnessed and recorded by many viewers. Perez Hilton transcribed one portion of the crazy, which we understand is actually only the tip of a crazy iceberg. Tila said:

“I am an angel … because I am here to save the world with my army,” said Tila. “People call me an attention whore .. or whatever … but excuse me I’m a grown ass woman and I’m confident in myself …I think a woman’s body is a beautiful thing … that’s why I’m a lesbian … I was born naked … anybody who is against that is gay and in denial.”

The ranting reportedly occurred for hours, covering everything from the cleanliness of her hoo-ha (Perez reports that at one point she removes a tampon on cam) to the alleged incident of domestic violence over which Tila is suing San Diego Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman for $1.5m.

D.A. Drops Charges against Shawne Merriman in Tila Tequila Assault Case

Paul Short — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 04:16:21 +0000

The charges alleging Shawne Merriman assaulted Tila Tequila by choking and assaulting her have been dropped by the San Diego District Attorney.

San Diego Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman was arrested September 6, for allegedly choking and restraining MySpace and MTV celebrity Tila Tequila. Tila Tequila (real name Tila Nguyen) made a 911 call at about 3:45am on the 6th saying she had been choked and restrained by her footballer boyfriend. When police arrived at her location, Tequila signed a “citizens arrest complaint” and Merriman was taken into custody pending charges.

On Friday September 11, San Diego District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis dropped the charges against Merriman because there was insufficent evidence to prove Tequila was actually assaulted.

But this is where it gets interesting – according to 10news.com, what led up to the fight between Merriman and Tequila was when Tequila walked in on Merriman and two other women in his bedroom. Tequila stormed out of the residence, threatening to have an affair with one of Merriman’s friends. That’s when the alleged choking and confinement happened.

But did the D.A. know something we don’t? Like did Tequila call the police as payback for Merriman’s infidelity? It would appear that way, wouldn’t it? Since there wasn’t enough evidence against Merriman for the D.A. to believe the charges would stick.

San Diego Chargers star Line backer Shawne Merriman was arrested early Sunday morning after reportedly choking his girl friend, reality TV star Tila Tequila. Merriman reportedly not only choked Tila, but was not allowing her to leave the house or restraining her in some way. For Merriman this could be the latest indiscretion that lands the NFL player in a ton of hot water not only with the law, but with the NFL itself.

Regardless of he is convicted or not Merriman is now starring a 4 game suspension for violating the leagues personal conduct rules. This is a move that could unravel he San Diego Chargers season; while many NFL pundits have the Chargers high on their list to make strong runs the loss of Merriman for a suspension could have a very serious impact on the team.

All this stems from an incident at that happened late Sunday night at Merriman’s suburban home. Tequila signed a citizen arrest warrant for battery and false imprisonment and those are the kinds of charges that could land Merriman in a heap of legal trouble.

Merriman was arrested and booked into the county jail, and was released shortly there after. It is not known if he posted bail or was simply released.

Tila Tequila threatens blog with legal action for mentioning her name

Duncan Riley — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 23:47:12 +0000

All publicity apparently isn’t good publicity if you’re a Z-list celebrity, with lawyers representing Tila Tequila threatening Nerve for the crime of mentioning her name without permission.

One post at Nerve mentioning Tequila didn’t even focus on her exclusively, instead mention her in passing with other news.

Tila Tequila’s lawyers claim that her name and image is subject to copyright, and can only be used with permission from Tequila, even in the context of reporting news about her.

Stupidity, and it wouldn’t last a minute in court, and so far Nerve is keeping the post up, but is seeking legal advice.

Celebrity gossip TMZ is reporting that Terry Semel’s daughter Courtenay, formerly linked with actress Lindsay Lohan and currently dating MySpace and reality show star Tila Tequila, was arrested in Las Vegas last night.

The incident occurred at the club Pure at Caesars Palace, and Courtenay is alleged to have hit a Pure security guard in the back of the head with her purse. Caesars’ security force detained Courtenay until police arrived and arrested her, issuing a citation for battery.

Daddy must be so proud. Then again, this sort of press may actually make him feel better about the press he got during his tenure at Yahoo.
