Tila Deletes Twitter Page, Starts New “Secret” One, Deletes THAT One — Aw @\?#!* It

Hey everybody! Look who’s back on Twitter! Did you miss her? Did ya? Did ya? Huh? Huh? Huh?

What?! You didn’t even know she’d left in the first place? What’s wrong with you?

After deleting her twitter account on Monday because she was sick of all the media attention (*cough*), Tila made it 4 whole days — yup, count ‘em, 1, 2, 3, 4… before starting a new, tippy-top secret “need to know only” site @TheRealTila. But shhhhhh! Don’t tell those mean ‘ol bloggers. ‘Cause they be hatin’!

On Thursday, Tila Tweeted:

Damn Twitter was f***ing BORING without me huh? I would be bored as hell if I were U and I wasn’t on twitter anymore! hahhaha jk xox.

And then:

Did ya;ll miss me?? I see all the OG’s here! YAY! No more filthy haters and Media peeps following! Secret page! xox

And of course:

Dont tell anyone I made a secret page ok?? Get the media & haters away from me! They like leeches!

But then, awww, you know what happened? Somehow her “secret” page leaked out to the media & haters. Could it have been, hang on… gimmie a second here… I can figure this out…. Oh yeah!

The public announcement on her blog?

Which she then deleted.

Lucky for us, Disgrasian got a screen shot before Tila got wise to how the haters were gettin’ wise.

Tila Tequila Shopping Pregnancy Ultrasound Pic

Tila Tequila, who most recently was heard on Twitter demanding privacy as she mourned the overdose death of her girlfriend Casey Johnson, has announced that she is pregnant and is selling her ultrasound photos to prove it. (So far, RadarOnline is the only one to bite.)

As TMZ skeptically reports:

We’ve learned Tila is shopping an ultrasound around she says proves she’s having a baby.

As for who the father is … God only knows.

Tila tells TMZ, “I hope it’s a boy but I’m not gonna find out ’cause I don’t wanna know. But if it’s a boy the name is Jayden. A girl – it’s Violet.”

She says the baby daddy is “a Swedish man – gorgeous.”

Tila seriously has the shortest memory of any celebutante out there. Not three weeks ago, she was howling at the moon about how much she loved her “wife,” all while knocked up by some Scandinavian dude whose name was not Casey Johnson.

And as of this morning, she has announced she’s retiring from Hollywood to be a full-time mom. And here I didn’t even know she had a job! So, Deceivers: The over/under on how long before she comes out of “retirement”?

Scott Baio Is the New Arbiter of What’s Racist

People are paying attention to Scott Baio again for all the wrong reasons. He first harnessed the power of Twitter this fall when he mocked Obama supporters for driving crappy cars. Recognizing a good PR move when he sees one, he returned to the Tweets this week to post a photo of Michelle Obama with the caption “WOW He wakes up to this every morning.”

Baio has only a couple thousand followers on Twitter but many of them called it a low blow. A few even questioned whether the bashing was racist, and that’s when it got ugly (no pun intended). Observe Baio’s freakout in action:

scott-baio-again

Ignoring for a second that he totally played the “I have family acquaintances who are black” card, Scott Baio is all about his Italian heritage and has been for years.

Tila Tequila’s Definitely NOT on a Pre-Funeral Press Tour.

If Tila Tequila’s behavior immediately following the death of her lover Casey Johnson wasn’t bizarre enough for you, the always pornographic “Shot At Love” pixie has re-emerged from the shadows — insisting, as always, that she’s definitely not milking the Johnson & Johnson heiress’s death for publicity.

Nuh-uh. Nosiree. Nothing to see here. And she’s certainly “not doing a press tour” like Perez Hilton. Or something.

tilatweet1

Lemme ask you this: If she were on a press tour, trying to make someone’s tragic death into a story about herself, what sorts of things would she (or her publicist) be doing?

A Political Two-Fer from the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy

Am I missing some nuance here? Or are these guys the front-runners for Deceiver Madness 2010?

Tila Tequila Can’t Even SPELL “Privacy”

Thanks to Deceiver reader Matt for the title. You’re right, Matt–sometimes these things write themselves.

Johnson & Johnson heiress (and alleged frequent abuser of the family pharmaceuticals) Casey Johnson has been found dead in her Hollywood home. The “out” lesbian socialite was reportedly engaged to … wait for it … Tila Tequila.

This is going to be wild.

Samantha Ronson tweeted it best today: “Am so sick of those 3 letters, so tired of losing friends to something as senseless as a drug overdose. WAKE UP people. Drugs will kill you.”

And then Lindsay Lohan retweeted it. Hello? Drug overdose? News flash for LiLo: That message was directed at you. Just you. It’s like David Letterman writing a memo telling other talk show hosts not to strip search their interns.

But the real hypocrite in this story has got to be Tila Tequila. Let’s go to the tweets, which started last night around dinnertime in L.A.:

Everyone please pray 4 my Wifey Casey Johnson. She has passed away. Thank u for all ur love and support but I will be offline to be w family

This is a very heartbreaking time for me. I just want some pricacy as I deal with the loss of my Fiance Casey Johnson. I’m heart is shredded

Sounds good. She needs space. This is not the time for mindless famewhoring, even if you’re too drunk to spell “privacy.”

Oh, who are we kidding. Tila Tequila couldn’t stay “offline” if her life depended on it. More tweets, less than an hour later:

Tiger Woods Cut a Deal With the National Enquirer in 2007

tiger-woods-finger-pointingA month ago it would have been unthinkable, but Tiger Woods and Michael Vick now have two things in common: problems with bitches who won’t stay quiet, and too much pride to admit to their mistakes in time to save their public images.

In 2007, Woods had some PR advice for Vick as the dogfighting scandal broke:

“If you made that big a mistake, you’ve got to come out and just be contrite, be honest and just tell the public that ‘I was wrong.’

“Waiting a long time got a lot of people polarized. … If he would have come out earlier, he would’ve diffused a little more of it.”

In case you missed it, The Wall Street Journal this weekend ran an explosive story that pretty much torpedoes Tiger’s whole stance on why you should cop to your failures quickly to save your image. Adultery supersleuths The National Enquirer knew about Tiger Woods’ unending line-up of blonde starf-ckers two years ago, but the tabloid quashed the story when he agreed to an exclusive interview with its sister publication, Men’s Fitness:

Mr. Woods had cut an unusual deal with American Media Inc., the owner of both Men’s Fitness magazine and the National Enquirer tabloid newspaper. Mr. Woods agreed to the cover shot and photo spread in Men’s Fitness, whose circulation of about 700,000 per issue is less than half of Golf Digest’s nearly 1.7 million, in return for the National Enquirer squelching a story and photographs purportedly showing Mr. Woods in a liaison with a woman who wasn’t his wife, according to people directly involved in the arrangement.

Pardon the pun, but Tiger got off easy in 2007.

Courtney Love Slams Daughter for Not Being a ‘Private Person’

frances-bean-courtney-loveCourtney Love’s lawyers advised her to quit Twitter in October after she was slapped with a libel suit from a designer she bashed in Tweets. But apparently they never mentioned anything about Facebook, which is where she now posts her ill-conceived rants against the people who done her wrong.

The latest person to suffer her rants? None other than 17-year-old daughter Frances Bean Cobain, over whom she has now lost legal guardianship at Frances Bean’s request.

So like any good mom who totally deserves custody, Love retaliated by posting on her own wall:

“I hate to sound cold but any kid of mine who pulls this shit has lost her position. She was deceptive, she lied and she’s lying to herself. My daughter is not always honest. She is clearly deluded if she thinks she can buy her grandmother a small house in L.A. I’d love to see how that works. She thinks she has all this money. The point is, I have all the money she has.”

And today?

“this is like a hand grenade got thrown into our lives and its not Frances! i am angry at these people not Frances id just prefer she not become Jaimie L Spears, she should go be a writer or an a…rtist wich i support 100% but this is a circus and it pains me cos i know she hates it.

“and i very uch miss my daughter being a private person, and i very much miss my daighter, i know she knows how miserable i am im despairing and so sad, so so sad, but i just want to help her be happy, thats it, get her house and get her school and thats all ive ever wanted,”

All things considered, I think Frances Bean has done a great job choosing to avoid the spotlight. Her mom, on the other hand…

Hey, Remember Rielle Hunter?

It’s been a while since we’ve heard anything about her. Not that we’d have heard of her in the first place if the media had their way. But now the National Enquirer, which made fools of all of them, has this update:

When Rielle Hunter, the mother of John Edwards’ love child, demanded more money in child support from the disgraced two-time Presidential loser, he tossed her and their daughter out on the street, sources tell the ENQUIRER exclusively!

Top secret documents obtained exclusively by The ENQUIRER provide undeniable proof that John Edwards is the father of his mistress’ love child – and show that she’s asking for nearly $18,000 a month in support!

But Rielle Hunter’s cash grab so infuriated the disgraced presidential candidate that, sources say, he basically tossed her and their daughter out on the street just days before they were set to move into a house he’d bought for them!

Usually I don’t like a lot of exclamation marks! But then again, these are the guys who broke the story! And kept it alive even as their more “respectable” brethren in newsrooms across the country were trying to sweep it under the rug! So I’ll allow it!

Al Gore Is as Awesome at Math as He Is at Science

I’m going to start calling him Dysfunction Al. He’s a nervous-making stiff even under the best of circumstances, and when you confront him with the end of all his dreams, you have to wipe the flopsweat off the lens:

“These are private e-mails, more than 10 years old…” He made the same claim in a Slate interview today, but they didn’t call him on it like this CNN guy did.

Putting aside the fact that these “private” e-mails are work product from a publicly funded institution, and are evidence that the science is far from settled, they’re not all 10 years old. They do span the last 13 years, but the most recent e-mail is from just last month. They’re evidence of an ongoing effort to hide and manipulate the data, and to suppress dissent. It’s been going on for a long time, and they’re still trying to get away with it. Al’s doing it right here.

There’s no possible way he can admit any of that, of course. His financial and psychological investment in this crap is way too deep for him to acknowledge such, ahem, inconvenient truths. The only way to deal with such a massive blow to his ego is to just bull through it. Pretend it’s not happening. He is, to borrow a phrase, a Climategate denier.

He used to really irritate me, but now he just makes me sad.

No, I guess it’s both.
