You might want to sit down for this. We know that as a city we take pride in the fact that anyone, with just time and determination, can become a New Yorker (transplant nonsense be damned). But with news that famewhore Tila Tequila is moving to New York City next weekend...we would like permission to reconsider that rule. Because the next thing you know Casey Anthony is going to move to Astoria.
"I'm looking forward to starting a new life in NYC. A clean slate and a fresh start," the former host of MTV's bisexual dating show A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila told TMZ. "I just want to be a normal girl with a normal life for a while. I just want to meet new friends, fall in love, get married, have babies, and call it a day!"
But maybe (we can hope) it isn't true? Tequila, who rose to fame via MySpace—why, oh why, didn't she go away when it did?—loves attention to the point she'll fake a suicide attempt for it. And since her last real media exposure came after her ill-fated "engagement" with the late Johnson & Johnson heiress Casey Johnson, this announcement might just be another grab for a headline (good job!).
So, while we wait for her imminent arrival (and make sure all of our vaccinations are in order) we wonder what stunts the little fameball will do when/if she gets here "to conquer NYC?" Perhaps she'll expose herself in front of H&M? Give the Naked Cowboy a run for his money in Times Square? Or maybe she'll just climb a lamppost and try and start a rap career.
