As a former STI counselor, I would like to ask Tila to shut the fuck up. It's people like her that make it so hard for people like me to do their jobs. Also, it makes it hard for people really dealing with these issues to not feel like some sort of social pariah. Herpes can be sexually transmitted. But you can also get it from kissing your Granny. Skin-to-skin contact is the culprit. Which means that anybody can get it; nuns, kids, and your slutty sister, Sarah. ANYBODY. A large portion of the population is exposed to HSV I and HSV II. Even more, for some people, the symptoms lie dormant and may never appear. Which goes to show, that just because you don't have lumps on your lips or lesions on your nethers, you still may carry the virus (this means you too, Tila). For others symptoms pop up during times of stress, illness or hormonal changes. My only concern is not WHO has it, but whether or not they do what they can to take care of themselves and their partners.
@Ulookinatmyjunk, JOC: This is a very wonderful comment- very informative and exactly what Tila needs to be schooled on.
Having said that, I'd hate to get herpes from kissing my Granny. It's like when you break your leg cleaning out the gutters, and have that temptation to make up some wonderful story about daring motorbiking.
Team Roker. Give it up Speidi. People may not necessarily like Al Roker but no on actively hates him. People actively, vocally, and enthusiastically hate both of you twats. Geez, it's like you've made a career out of being hated... wait a minute... oh geez.
I'm not telling Italian-Americans to not be offended, but honestly NOBODY thinks the mo-rons on "Jersey Shore" represent anybody except tacky fools.
Miley Cyrus got a new tattoo of the words "Just Breathe" under her left boob.
@mariamariamaria: Is it written so that she can read it, or for some unknown multitude?
Miss Cyrus: are you that boring that anyone that close to you needs reading material?
What the hell *is with* your father, anyway?
Well thank goodness. Ever since the Chris Brown/Rihanna story broke, I've been waiting with bated breath to hear Tila Tequila's opinion. As a paragon of class and virtue, it falls to her to let us know just whose shit stinks. Now that I know, I can move on with my life. So servicey, Tila!
@CherriSpryte: I'm an inch shorter and ten pounds heavier. I'm not pregnant. Nor am I miserable. I'm me and Jenny McCarthy is who she is- a marginalizing, close-minded, judgmental idiot who has never been funny, charming, intelligent, or plastic surgery-free (in my recent memory, anyhow).
She's just dumb, and it almost makes me embarrassed for her.
@CherriSpryte & @boss_lady: Why does it make her an idiot that she felt miserable at that weight? It's not like she said everyone else has to feel that way if they weighed the same, just that she can empathize with anyone who *does*.
@angelesque: She's clearly implying that all three go together. Also, the phrase "I was obese and fat" is repetitive and idiotic, unless she was making the subtle point that not all obese people are fat. I highly doubt she's that into body acceptance and the inaccuracies of BMI charts.
Feeling miserable due to weight is ridiculous in any circumstance, but especially while pregnant. Like I said, she's an idiot.
@CherriSpryte: weight can make you miserable if you were small and suddenly you can't paint your own toenails or do the physically challenging things you are used to doing. It can make you feel trapped inside your own skin...even if you are just pregnant and know it's temporary, it can still be a trial.
@CherriSpryte: What I'm saying is that it wouldn't kill you to have some sympathy.
Whether it's a "choice" or not.
A woman who is pregnant, may be aware that her body will change - but those effects vary from person to person; we can't change the way we feel about our bodies.
"Feeling miserable due to weight is ridiculous in any circumstance, but especially while pregnant. Like I said, she's an idiot."
@crazy_lady: You had to bring in anorexia to try and make your point - and I sound judgemental?
You can completely and totally change the way you feel about your body. A body is just a body, its not who you are. The sooner everyone stops having all of these harmful emotions stemming from how their bodies look and function, the better. Which is my entire point in this thing. If I did so by calling Jenny McCarthy an idiot, sobeit.
Yes, I made a judgment call. I'm more than ok with standing by it.
Tila Tequila has been in public meltdown mode ever since her very brave ex-boyfriend (who is only 3 times her size, poor man) left bruises all up and down her arms.
@pestified wants-a-Bush-tribunal: No, I don't believe so. I mean, I'm not any kind of psychologist so I claim no insight or expertise, but it doesn't seem that way to me. I think it's just Tila Tequila's behaviour betrays the uncomfortable fact that sometimes legitimate victims are also legitimate assholes in their own right. It doesn't mean that they aren't victims, and don't deserve justice for themselves. It just means that they're assholes who are given even more impetus to act out. Which unfortunately makes it harder for them to find the sympathy they so desperately need.
@kookla: I don't understand why she would say anything about STDs, because the public (or at least my) immediate reaction is "Well, if anyone would know a herpes sore, it's Tila Tequila..." You'd think her two or three brain cells could hold a conference and figure that one out.
"I don’t like when people talk about me and don’t know me and don’t know what they’re sayin’ and sound stupid. I saw her backstage at the AMA’s one year… [laughs] She was just standing there with a drink in her hand, even though she doesn’t drink she had a drink in her hand, whatever."
My guess is that it was in reference to this quote by Tila:
"No offense to Rihanna, but because of what she did, it sends out a message to everyone ... 'When you get beat or abused, keep your mouth shut.' So I decided I am going to come out and speak about it and fight for it... What Rihanna did ... her message was to say quiet and that's not OK."
@nothanks: I used to take ambien, and i did hallucinate a little and act really crazy. This was a fun surprise, but i never remembered it. My roommate proved it to me w/ video evidence because i didn't believe her. So crazy sex is possible, but would you remember it?
@J.D.Regent: Whoa, Ambien is a seriously fun drug if you accidentally-on-purpose take it and then fail to go directly to sleep! In controlled circumstances and under a doctor's supervision, of course.
@rodmanstreet: I have never stayed awake for more than 15 minutes after taking it. Then again, I suppose some "crazy" sex doesn't need much longer than that.
Tila is trying really hard to be the new Britney Spears Breakdown Queen, isn't she? I'm actually beginning to loathe her less and feel something akin to pity, as I think she needs some counseling.
I really hate to defend MTV here, but it's the so-called "guidos" that are perpetuating the stereotypes. MTV didn't make these folks act like fools, they just act like that on their own.

Being "miserable" because you suddenly aren't flexible enough to reach your toenails over your newly-grown pregnant belly is a choice.
The two have incredibly little to do with each other.

Are you really missing how judgemental you sound?
Sigh.
I guess we're going to have to agree to disagree.
