Best Story Yet!
(Hey that scarf like familiar! Look at the dudes pants! Tila showed her true grit by going out there and facing that crowd!) Have you ever had a day in your life that you could categorically say was the best day of your life? The worst? What’s the funniest thing you have ever seen? I really have no idea, but I can say without hyperbole that the weirdest night of my life was last Friday. It started with me introducing Tom Green to Gallagher and ended with me watching Vanilla Ice perform to a crowd of thousands. And somewhere in the middle, Tila Tequila was assaulted by several hundred clowns. Oh, and I should also mention that Ron Jeremy was there the whole time. It was the second night of the Gathering of the Juggalos–five miles down a dirt road, over a ferry, and a three hour drive from Nashville in a 30 foot rented RV. I was covering this summer camp for the dammed for the Village Voice and I was waiting to meet Tom Green. My editor Camille and I had tried to arrange an interview with the Canadian funny man but it was impossible to meet up with him because no one gets cell phone reception in Cave-In-Rock, Illinois. So we were waiting for him back stage hoping to get a quote and a photo. (LOL Galleger's had the same hairstyle forever.) I had just met Gallagher. He was performing the next night and was hanging out by the comedy tent meeting juggalos and waiting for Tom Green to show up so he could see how the insane clowns reacted to his act. Gallagher is known for covering his audience with food, but the juggalos are known for throwing anything they can get their hands on at the performers on stage and he wanted to be prepared. When Tom Green finally showed up 30 minutes after he was scheduled to start, Ron Jeremy was standing about five feet from me signing very uncomfortable looking girls’ boobs. I introduced myself to Tom. He was expecting us and we arranged an interview for after his set. As he got ready to go on, we talked a bit about his tour and a mutual friend, and he told me he was late because he got stuck at an airport with none other than Tila Tequila. Before last weekend I had never thought twice about Tila Tequila. I knew that she was famous on MySpace and that she had some sort of reality show but not much more than that. Tom Green on the other hand, was a hero of mine ten years ago and I am still a big fan of his internet TV Show. So if you had told me a few days ago that I would be skipping out on a Tom Green set to see Tila Tequila sing I would have thought you were crazy. But that was before I heard the juggalos talking. Everyone at the Gathering was talking about Tila Tequila. To the juggalos she is everything they hate. She is pop culture, MTV, and the kids who picked on them in high school all rolled into one. She should not be at the Gathering and they were going to make that known. I had heard conversation after conversation about how juggalos were plotting to take down Ms. Tequila. One guy was collecting his shit in paper towels to throw at her and people were making piss water balloons. I thought it was mostly all talk but I figured if something did happen I should probably be there to document it. After a surreal moment where I introduced Tom Green to Gallagher I headed over to the second stage with Camille. Tila Tequila was about to go on and we were hoping to catch a few songs and make it back for most of Tom’s set. When we got there Ron Jeremy was already there creeping on some of the “ladies night” performers. Tila Tequila, on the other hand, was nowhere to be seen. Camille and I interviewed Sugar Slam the viral video star of the Gathering of the juggalos infomercials. She is the girlfriend of Violent J of the Insane Clown Posse, and she also happened to go to high school with Tila Tequila. She was hosting the ladies night and was actually a lot more interesting and intelligent than the infomercial would have you believe. When Tila got on stage I realized I was the only photographer there. There was very little media at the Gathering to begin with, and I was the only member to watch Tila Tequila run out on stage flanked by body guards and squirt silly string into the crowd. She told the juggalos how much she loved them as bottles started to fly. I shot photos from the side of the stage but I was only getting shots of her from the back. I asked one of the security guards if I could go out on the actual stage and he told me that I was insane to do it, but he wasn’t going to stop me. I walked out onto the front of the stage in between Tila and the crowd. She stayed back so she wouldn’t be near the crowd, so I could get good shots of her directly in front of me. As bottles and cans and god knows what else rained down on the stage I was hit over and over again. A few people were clearly aiming for me, but I didn’t get it nearly as bad as Tila and her security did. She was hit in the face with an egg during her first song but she just kept going. Her security tried to knock things out of the air but she was getting pelted. As bad as it got, she would not relent. It was completely bad ass. Even the M-80s being thrown on stage every 15 seconds didn’t phase her. I never thought she was going to make it through her first song but she just kept going and some of the juggalos at the front of the crowd were clearly as impressed as I was. I almost thought she was going to turn them. (I hope Tom & Tila HOOK UP!!! I feel bad for Tom getting all this backlash & getting shit from the HATORS! Poor Tom. He'd be good for Tila, they'd be HILARIOUS together!! comments made after photos made by TTS) At some point during all of this Camille and Tom Green showed up. Tom ran out on stage with Tila and all the juggalos stopped throwing stuff and started cheering Tom. Things calmed down for a second but as soon as he left the stage shit just got worse. I circled to the other side of the stage to talk to Camille for a second and was on the right side of the stage when a juggalo tried to charge the stage and attack Tila. He was tackled by security immediately, as was the guy who tried to throw a large trash barrel at her. By this time I was getting hit by rocks and the stage was cluttered with garbage and rotten eggs and urine. I saw a mag light had been thrown at her and some rocks the size of grapefruits. It was getting really dangerous. (Tuff Tila T. She was badass, and this article confirms that! POW!) I guess she took her top off because she figured it might get the juggalos on her side but as soon as she got naked things just got worse. She kept telling the juggalos that she loved them and she defiantly sang her ass off while dodging rocks and full beer cans. I have no idea what hit her, she said it was a firework but I didn’t see it. She was covering her face with only her afghan. She never stopped singing though. She was holding this thing to her face as blood dripped down on her giant fake boobs. It was fucked up but she wouldn’t stop. It was the hottest thing I have ever seen. No B.S. that's NOT FAKE BLOOD! When she got hit in the face the second time and was bleeding out of both sides of her head the security guards put a stop to it and dragged her off stage, but I think if it were up to her the juggalos would have killed her before she left voluntarily. Even as security pulled her off, covered in blood, she kept talking shit to the audience and never gave up. I will forever have a great respect for Tila Tequila as both a person and as a front woman. There are very few bands that would put up with shit like that. She would have been at home at a GG Allin concert while supposed “rock bands” have to cancel shows because they are scared of birds shitting on them. (WOW! Thats crazy & TOTALLY disgusting.) Security took her to her trailer as she was followed by a mob of juggalos ready to kill her. They were shaking her trailer and trying to break in the windows. I don’t know exactly what happened after that, as I followed Tom Green and an actual clown to a secret location where Tom was picked up and taken to safety. It seemed like a bad time to do an interview. Camille and I started walking back to our RV totally speechless by what we had just seen. My back was killing me from all the stuff that I got hit with and I was covered in a combination of beer, Faygo, and urine. I just wanted to take a shower, but as I passed the “Freak Show Tent” I heard a familiar sound. “Go ninja, go ninja, go!” It was Vanilla Ice playing his hit from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 sound track. My mind almost exploded. I walked over, and as he finished the song he introduced one of his fellow Surreal Life cast members… Ron Jeremy. I walked back to my trailer with my head in my hands. Hours later I couldn’t sleep so I walked around the campsite to talk to people about what we had just witnessed. I talked to a few people, but mostly there were just juggalos walking around like zombies. I saw Ron Jeremy by the comedy tent. I’m pretty sure he was living in the makeshift green room. Then there was Gallagher holding court with juggalos at 8am. He was so high he couldn’t even look at me. It was a weird night. Woop woop…This story was written by an unbiased source that knew nothing much about tila before the gathering.
Some Stories being posted were written to "be cool because they were there" and naturally some things are exaggerated Or underplayed. Some videos made by people that said they were there but in fact were not. ThE Author of the following article was there on stage & has photos not seen before.

DEAR VICE - I GOT STONED BY THE JUGGALOS - Viceland Today 
Thirty minutes later there was still no sign of Tila and the juggalos were getting restless and were already throwing bottles and empty beer cans on stage. Camille left to make sure she met up with Tom and I was left to wait for Tila. As I was flirting with an adorable one-legged girl named Amber Amputee, a liquor bottle hit me in the back. It hurt like hell and it was my first realization that something was probably really going to go down if Tila showed up. It was getting late and I had my doubts that she would have the balls to show up but after another ten minutes security came out and started clearing everyone off the stage. Everyone but me and Amber.

Tila Pulled Over in Lambo -- Heckled Relentlessly
Go Tila Go!
She's a pro, she knows wtf she's doing. She drove Jeff Gordon's car all the time (and him too).
She hung out at the track a lot.
A Lambo is like a PT Cruiser to her.

Nooooooooooooooo doubt about it folks. The cat is out of the bag. Ya'll need to call the padded cell on each other, besides fight & out people! So amusing, yet really, really weird.

Time Magazine article on Tila Tequila
Tila Nguyen was 1 year old when she moved to the U.S. from Singapore, but she's Vietnamese by heritage and blond by choice. As for what she does for a living, there isn't really a word for it yet. Nguyen, 25, who goes by Tila Tequila professionally, is some combination of rapper, singer, model, blogger and actress. But what she mostly is is the queen of the massive social-networking website MySpace.
Read more: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1570728,00.html#ixzz0vZ8nEzvg
Nguyen—or, oh, fine, Tequila—may be the least lonely girl on the Internet. She has more than 1.5 million MySpace friends. Her MySpace profile has been viewed more than 50 million times. Her self-published single, the profane and attitudinous F___ Ya Man, now playing on her MySpace page, has logged 13 million spins. (To listen to it is to hear the sound track of a million parents' dreams dying.) She gets somewhere from 3,000 to 5,000 new friend requests every day. She is something entirely new, a celebrity created not by a studio or a network but fan by fan, click by click, from the ground up on MySpace.
Before she hit it big, Nguyen had posed for Playboy.com—its first Asian Cyber Girl of the Month—and modeled for car shows and auto mags and formed girl bands. But her big break came three years ago when MySpace founder Tom Anderson invited Nguyen over to his new site. She had spent plenty of time on websites like Friendster, but her outsize, confrontational personality kept getting her kicked off. She says Friendster booted her five times. "I joined MySpace in September 2003," Nguyen recalls. "At that time no one was on there at all. I felt like a loser while all the cool kids were at some other school. So I mass e-mailed between 30,000 and 50,000 people and told them to come over. Everybody joined overnight."
Pre-Tila, your MySpace friends were mostly people you actually knew. Post-Tila, the biggest game on the site became Who Has the Most Friends, period, whoever they might be. "Once they saw how I worked it, everyone did what I did and started promoting themselves," she says. Not everybody would call this a change for the better; there are those who might even prefer a friendly community to a global popularity contest. Not Nguyen. Over the next couple of years she turned her online persona into a full-fledged business. "This is my job," she says. "That's how you maintain your popularity and keep it alive."
Nguyen clearly grasps the logic of Web 2.0 in a way that would make many ceos weep. She sells Tila posters, calendars, a clothing line of hoodies and shirts. She has been on the cover of British Maxim. She has a single due to be released online. She has a cameo in next summer's Adam Sandler movie. She has four managers, a publicist and a part-time assistant. It's hard to know how to read the rise of Tila Tequila. Does she represent the triumph of a new democratic starmaking medium or its crass exploitation for maximum personal gain? It's not clear that even Tila knows. But she knows why it works. "There's a million hot naked chicks on the Internet," she says. "There's a difference between those girls and me. Those chicks don't talk back to you."

Anyway, so that’s the most up to date schedule for my stay in the UK! So I hope to meet all of you who are in the the UK at any of these events! Especially at all the parties, and live performances!!! IT will be LOADS of fun!!! ANd the reason why I put on “JULY 22ND” Travel back as a question mark, is because after all this work, and back to back things happening to me this past year, and non stop work, no vacation….. I feel like it’s time for me to relax for the first time in a long time to get my head right and relax and enjoy my life once again. Soooooooo initially, I was supposed to travel back to Los Angeles, but then I thought about it, and since I missed out on so much of “STOP AND SMELL THE FLOWERS” I have decided to spontaneously, at last minute, meaning TONIGHT last minute, that I am going to fly straight to ITALY after London, instead of coming back home. I need to get away. I need to feel happy. I want to enjoy life again. I want to meet and see the world and relax. I want to fall in love, I want to just LIVE! I’m tired of working all the time, and I work so much to the point where I don’t realize that I’m forgetting that I have a life. I’m forgetting that I don’t have to always try to please other people all the time. NOW, it is time to PLEASE ME, and LOVE ME! Girl Next Door...Traveling the world...Finding love for myself! =) So I spoke to a friend tonight about something totally different, and he just said “Hey you should come to Italy!” That’s when I decided: “You know what Tila? You need a vacation. It’s going to lift your spirits and soul. It will be good for you and make you appreciate life again.” And right now it’s a crucial stage in my life where I really need to let go. Let it all go, and just travel and live my life before it’s all gone to waste and all I can think back is how much I work! Not that I don’t enjoy my job, but I do need to get away for a while, and just be able to be a normal girl, who is just like everyone else, and be at beautiful places where I can meet new, amazing, people! That sounds so magical, and IT WILL BE! So after London, I spontaneously decided to fly to Florence, Italy, then after that I want to go somewhere else. I’m not sure where, but I know I want to go somewhere else. This trip for me, will be just that… FOR ME! This is “ME TIME!” So who knows where I will end up after London, Italy…. mabe Paris? Sweden? St. Barths? St. Tropez??? Either way, I know I will be traveling all over the world to enjoy myself and fly out a few friends along the way to enjoy this life with me. But don’t worry, Since I do love you guys as well, and consider most of you my internet friends… I will make sure to document my journey and adventures and where I will be next!!!!!!!!!!!! Now……… It is 6am now and I REALLY need to get my ass packing!!!!! I AM GOING TO BE IN LONDON TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I REALLY HOPE TO MEET ALL OF MY UK TILA ARMY! I WILL MISS EVERYONE ELSE, BUT I WILL TRY TO BLOG AS MUCH AS I CAN SO WE CAN KEEP IN TOUCH WHILE I AM AWAY!!! OK I GOTTA GO PACK NOW! I LOVE U! xoxox Miss Tila
