Judging by her every move she's rather insane.

Is she well loved in the US?

Not by anyone who has normal brain function.

Personally, I can't stand the little alien replica.

She got famous on myspace by adding everyone who'd accept her friend request, then the next thing I knew she was in some thing where she was trying to find a partner, male or female.

She's wierd...

Divided. Some people think she is sexy and hawt and all that. Other people think she's fug. I personally think she is fugly as all hell, but I guess I can understand why she's famous and why other people would think she's hot

meh, I guess that wouldn't suprise me...
it's things like this that make me have misanthropic thoughts.

(I don't find her that attractive either, and I'm usually into Asian girls)

She's a Myspace famewhore. If you google her, you'll find porn, reality tv, and a video of her dissing Rhianna and pulling a tampon out of her vag.

Yep. Amongst other things, it was an attempt to prove she was a woman, did not stand for her own abuse, etc. At 5 AM.

She's quite possibly one of the most disgusting individuals I have ever seen... inside and out.


I saw a news story (well, quite a few actually) about how she was using her "girlfriends" death to get even more attention... who the fuck does that?

Very serious!  yikes

Tila became "famous" from marketing on Myspace starting back in 2005. 
She has done some modeling, recorded some music, and seems to be famous for nothing but great marketing.  I don't hater her, but I can think of many other models, and musicians I'd rather work with or listen to.

A silly little "bisexual" attention seeking hoore? Who apparently things she can sing, and give people a "Shot at Love"?

I'd hit it, except I think if I did I'd wake up addicted to crack.

That is not true.   You might find her disgusting based on what the media says, but it is not true that she is using her girlfriends death in that manner.  I have a reporter in the network of my www.Backstage411.com who interviewed Tila before and after Casey Johnson's death.  Let's just say that many of those in the media have been instrumental in spreading gossip that is not true about many so called celebrities.

Andy Warhol said "15 minutes of fame", and that was when you had to have a bit of talent in something.
It's down to about a minute at the speed things move and you can be famous for absolutely nothing now.
She's over here in the US...done...

May I politely ask you exactly what got your "attention" in regards to Tila Tequila?

She is not extraordinary.  I personally don't love her or hate her, but I find it odd that people have such extreme feelings towards her one way or the other.  She and her team did a great job marketing herself on Myspace ... but her little adventure into the cyber space marketing is like a horse that got away and became wild.

Her own twitter page/posing for the paparazzi while mourning is totally the media spreading gossip about her.

lol  true dat! 

What people may not know is that Tila has worked very hard since she was a kid.  Nothing was ever handed to her!  She earned everything she has and not by committing any crimes, nor did she inherit anything.  She is very hard working for this status of  "famous for nothing."  I will defend her against the unfair criticism and lies that have been told about her.

Other than great marketing, Tila is not better than many of the models I would much rather photograph.  Her music is not something I would go buy, nor would I go out of my way to see a show.  I have no strong feelings about her one way or the other.

I think for the true answer to this question you need to ask somebody that truly knows her. Let's ask Shawn Merriman!

Becci, I think "what" in the title was very aptly chosen!!!

For me, she is a great representation of many of the problems in the USA of what people feel is worth paying attention to.

Waste of oxygen and waste of attention.
