Per TMZ - San Diego's Merriman allegedly roughs up Tila Tequila

She was the "most popular person on myspace" back when those things mattered. Then she was in a bunch of mags/sites. then she got a dating show on MTV in which she dated boys AND girls. Then she apparently got choked out by Shawne Merriman.

Also, 27 my ass. She was the myspace girl a good decade ago. If not, it seems like it. But I'd be willing to bet a LOT of money she's not 27.

 

I think her claim to fame at one time was having the most page views on MySpace. I think.

 

Jerry Jones' best move was passing on Merriman at No. 11 in 2005 and taking DeMarcus Ware instead.

 

That was a hell of a move. Ware is a beast.

 

Has it been that long since she was 'the most popular person on myspace?'

 

Whatever happened to the good old days when people were famous because they had talent?

 

Given that MySpace didn't exist until 2003, that's extraordinarily unlikely.

 

I said, if not it seems like it.

 

There's a lights out joke in here somewhere.

 

God damn you, I was just about to say that.

 

I call bullshit. No one would want that skank to stay at their house would they?

 

I had the same thought right before I read this. I guess there's always been some of those (witness Zsa Zsa Gabor), but the reality TV/My Space society has truly made this the golden age for the "celebrities with no discernible talent" genre.

And I'd say this event ought to move Miss Tequila up in their rankings. She's still got a LONG way to go to approach Paris Hilton and Kardashian status but, give her credit, she's climbing.
