Tila Tequila thinks she's responsible for the legalization of gay marriage in California. At the premiere for The Love Guru (classy), she said about her show, A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila:

 

“Before it came out, everyone was still a little apprehensive about (same sex relationships),” she said. “Then they realized, ‘Wow, everyone is really i...

This is not only a fantastic video, but also yet another example of how powerful a political tool the Internet can be.

 

My favorite?

An update: Today I spent approximately three to four consecutive hours on YouTube. I don't really know what to do with my time. I'm done with school, but I haven't graduated yet. YouTube seemed like the most logical facilitator of denial about my state of unemployment and unpreparedness. Though I also had a grilled cheese sandwich at Salonica, l

Yes. Lollapalooza happened this past weekend in Grant Park, apparently. I think I only know like three people who went, so that video is the only exciting thing that happened that I know of. But apparently Lollapalooza was the last public appearance Amy Winehouse made before going on a three-day bender as soon as she got back to England that lan

Summer Send-Offs are upon us. I never went to the one in my area, but I can't imagine any of the 28 send-offs across the country are any less awkward than you'd imagine, kind of like the gem of a photo above (found literally by Googling the phrase 'awkward party').

Interestingly, 10 of the alumni hosts of these little shindigs are married to ot
