Tila Tequila Begs for Rent Money, Actually Gets It

Tila Tequila may be an alleged Nazi sympathizer who dresses her daughter up like Hitler.


But she’s still a human being!



This must be the line of thinking taken by a handful of folks out there who have gathered online in order to help Tequila overcome her latest financial troubles.


The former Celebrity Big Brother contestant opened a GoFundMe page last week, asking fans to donate so that she could afford rent and furniture for her and her young daughter.


It’s not surprising that Tila would make such a request.


But it has taken us aback that she surpassed her goal of $ 2,500 in just six days.


“The reason why I am creating this GoFundMe campaign is because they have raised the rent at my old home to $ 4,500 a month,” she wrote, explaining:


“And being a single mother without any support from the father, it can sometimes be very tough taking care of 2 people with only a 1 person income.”


That’s not an abnormal statement on its own of course.


“Right now I need to raise some money so that I can move into my new home and get it furnished for my daughter and I,” she added.


“The last apt I was at came fully furnished and that’s why it was so expensive, but I’d rather save money for my daughter than keep wasting money each month like that.


“So I basically need to buy all the furniture and beddings from scratch to start over if we are to move. It is going to cost a lot to start off, and that is why I am asking you all for your help!”



Incredibly, the troubled Z-Lister – who believes the Earth is flat and who may very be an alien messiah who has seen Jesus – somehow convinced people out there to put money into her account.


“Most people would be so ashamed or embarrassed, but I’m not,” she said of her online begging.


“This is for my daughter so we won’t be homeless and she won’t starve.”


Upon surging past her stated fiscal goal, Tila once again took to Twitter and said she plans on calling every single person who donated in order to thank them for their kindness.


“Oh my God! I cannot believe we actually not only reached our goal, but have actually gone PAST it! This is truly a humbling experience,” she concluded.

Keeping Up with the Kardashians Recap: Khloe Gets Real, Scott Gets Suicidal

Momager of the Millennium Kris Jenner asked something of her brood on Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 11 Episode 9.


Something that, if you watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians online, may take you aback, given the seriousness of the topic at hand …



A major plot line of Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 11 Episode 9 was Kris wanting the kids to take a special genetic test.


One designed to determine their respective risks for cancer. Heavy.


Khloe Kardashian, most notably, had this response: “I don’t really care. Fact: I’m going to die. You’re going to die. We’re all going to die.”


YOLO, right? Why live in fear of a gene that may cause cancer?


She raises a valid point, but also showed compassion in agreeing to take the test anyway so she could make her grandma, MJ, happy.


Dr. Paul Nassif (obviously) administered the test and found that they are BRCA negative, or less likely to get breast and ovarian cancer.


Meanwhile, Scott Disick plummeted to a new low point – even by his standards – while Kourtney Kardashian was out of town with friends.


On the phone, he told Khloe, “I just can’t do this.”


“I’ll never f–king meet anybody more beautiful than her, and I love her,” Disick told Khloe through tears. “And she doesn’t love me.”


“My life is officially over. I just want it over.”


His frazzled state had Kim Kardashian – listening on speaker – urging Khloe to “call the police,” but luckily it did not escalate that far.



Kris Jenner was able to get family friend Chris Reda to check on him, and he’s alright. But we kid not when we call this a low point.


Given that this was filmed months ago, we have the benefit of knowing that The Lord has been finding redemption, slowly but surely.


By all accounts, Scott is still trying to win Kourtney back, and she’s not having it (romantically), but relations have improved drastically.


As long as he’s committed to being sober and being a good father, everything else will work itself out, as a single parent or a family.


Finally, supermodel Kendall Jenner lamented her fading connection with father Caitlyn Jenner and the “boyish” time they spent together.


“I definitely miss the connection that my dad and I used to have,” Kendall told the E! cameras. “He was kinda the reason I was a tomboy.”


Fortunately, Caitlyn understands and agrees.


“You know I just love hanging out with you, we have the best time together,” Caitlyn told Kendall during a really sweet heart to heart.


“If you’re ever upset with something that’s happening, maybe changes that have gone on, I want you to talk directly to me,” she said.


Is it dusty in here or is it just us?


Rowan Blanchard, Girl Meets World Star, Comes Out as "Queer"

Rowan Blanchard has become a household name due to her starring role on Girl Meets World.


But the young Disney Channel address made headlines over the weekend for admitting she’s a girl… who is open to all the world has to offer.



“In my life – only ever liked boys,” the 14-year-old Tweeted on January 16.


“However I personally don’t wanna label myself as straight, gay or whateva so I am not gonna give myself labels to stick with – just existing.”


The admirable star then elaborated when a follower questioned her statement, writing that she is “open to liking any gender in future,” and that “is why I identify as queer.”


Blanchard, who is more mature than we’ll ever be, has also received credit of late for a piece she wrote in Rookie Magazine.


It deals with her ongoing battle with self-esteem and how she’s sick of apologizing for her emotions.



“My codependent relationship with self-blame and self-deprecation, as a means of self-defense has held me tightly since I can remember,” she wrote.


“It has felt safer and less terrifying to silence myself to a degree, than to actually engage with people, and make them take responsibility for their own actions.”


When it comes to her bisexual status, Blandchared has unfortunately been hit by a tidal wave of social media criticism.


“I thought I was being brave and was proud of myself and then everyone attacks me… Cool,” she Tweeted at one point.


But we just hope Rowan takes her own advice and follows the words of wisdom she laid out for Rookie:


“If you listen closely to the tiny voice in your head, the calm one, that is you talking.


“And if you turn up the volume on it and try to listen, it blocks all the other voices out.”

The Real Housewives of Potomac Premiere Recap: WTH is Potomac?!

Yes, the Real Housewives of Potomac is a real show.


The latest spinoff of Bravo’s Housewives franchise follows the lives of women in Potomac, Maryland, just outside our nation’s capital.


There, six affluent area divas battle for supremacy.



Yes, the formula is pretty boilerplate, and clearly successful. The only question is whether fans care about getting to know a new cast.


To wit, The Real Housewives of Potomac Season 1 Episode 1, titled “Mind Your Manners,” did its best to introduce us to them in style.


That style is a little different than what we’re used to.


The requisite introductions to Karen Huger, Charrisse Jackson Jordan, Katie Rost, Gizelle Bryant and Ashley Darby told us a fair amount.


About their personalities, yes, but also the show – the location, the culture – in general. Folks are obsessed with etiquette like whoa.


Let’s just say Brooks Ayers faking cancer or Aviva Drescher throwing her leg aren’t likely to be storylines seen in Potomac this year.


Just outside Washington, D.C., Potomac is “a town where entry is granted only through class, pedigree, and lineage,” or so we’re told.


It’s all about “etiquette,” through and through.


There are those who follow the rules and those who don’t, and that divide leads to some conflict … we know, we’re as shocked as you.


So will RHOP stick around and become a hit for the network like its Orange County, Atlanta, Beverly Hills and New York counterparts?
