Tila Nguyen (born Thien Thanh Thi Nguyen, October 24, 1981), known from 2005 to 2011 as Tila Tequila, is a Vietnamese-American softcore model, musician, porn star and reality [=TV=] personality. She started out as a glamour/softcore model for magazines like ''Playboy''. Due to her enormous popularity on Myspace (having had the most-friended page at the time when Myspace first broke into the mainstream), she rose to fame through her MTV reality show, ''A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila'' and ''A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila 2''. Afterwards she launched a music career independently, distributing her music through the likes of iTunes; however she is better known for her rather outrageous antics (such as uStream rants where she pulls out her tampon), rumors she spreads about herself (numerous false pregnancies, though now she has actually had two daughters), and generally being an AttentionWhore. She is somewhat of a GuiltyPleasure to watch; many follow her due to BileFascination. After a severe mental breakdown in 2012, she now has declared all-out war against the reptilian Illuminati living in their bunkers on the moon. She has also been highly criticized for praising the Nazis, Hitler and making antisemitic comments.

!!The works involving Tila Tequila show examples of:

* AsianAirhead: Her persona on ''A Shot at Love'' and especially her guest appearance on ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' is incredibly ditzy and slutty.
* AttentionWhore: Given she rose to prominence on [=Myspace=] and then starred on reality TV shows as the center of a reverse-harem, her need for attention is apparent.
* BrainlessBeauty: She is presented with a very ditzy personality, but attractive enough that people from either gender were after her. After all, dating her is the "prize" of her reality shows.
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Part of the gimmick of ''A Shot at Love'' is that both men and women were competing for her attention.
* FauxYay: In March 2018 she stated she was neither lesbian nor bisexual,[[note]]she had (supposedly) come out in 2007[[/note]] but only faked it in order to attract audiences for ''A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila'', and had a boyfriend while filming the show. To rub it in, she associated homosexuality with the devil and called former contestants "degenerate" and "disgusting".
%%* GenkiGirl: Is very excitable and loud, to annoying extents.
%%* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Tila is tiny at 4'11", especially compared to 6"4" Billy Corgan of Music/TheSmashingPumpkins.
%%* IntercourseWithYou: Quite a lot of her songs are about sex.
* LipstickLesbian: She once claimed she's been strictly lesbian all along, and her producers forced her to do the ''Shot At Love'' shows. Since then, she's retracted it and said she isn't a lesbian ''or'' bi.
* MsFanservice: Try to find a pic of hers where she isn't half naked (if ''that''). That's also not taking into account her foray into porn.
%%* MyGirlIsNotASlut: She blogged about it, but being that it's her, no one listened.
* MyGirlIsASlut: She's released at least one song about how she kicks guys out of bed when she's done with them because she "doesn't want love, just a good fuck".
* NoIndoorVoice: Particularly in her video for why Black women are bald, in which she declares how sinful and [[{{Hypocrite}} promiscuous]] they are, and thus supposedly don't have the [[LongHairIsFeminine elegant, gorgeous, and luscious long tresses]] that are supposedly [[Literature/TheBible a glory to every woman]] at the top of her lungs(most likely in an attempt to sound "righteous"). What's notable is that she uses bald and "nappy-headed" [[BrainlessBeauty as if they are synonymous]].
* SelfDeprecation:
** She guest-starred in a ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBzsLxdiRF8 sketch]], appearing as a robotic "pre-pubescent alien whore", whose emotions are "appropriate almost 50% of the time!"
---> '''Tila''': I am ''very'' bisexual!
** She's also made a few jokes about being an alien on her Twitter, likely parodying her own conspiracy theory rants and the jokes about her looks.
%%* SlutShaming: Has constantly been a victim of it.
