Sad, confused MySpace cewebrity and reality star Tila Tequila blames her unsuccessful quest to find true love on the media.
Despite picking Bobby Banhart as the winner of A Shot At Love, the two quickly fell out of, ahem, love when, as this sort of things tends to happen with C-list celebrities, the media started attacking them.
“The media says something about him, and he retaliates, and I’m like ‘That’s not how it was.’ And it ends up being, like, unfortunate,†she told the Associated Press.
And also: There’s the little part about Banhart being an egregious self-promoter. Totally in a not-like-Tila way.

excuse me? "confused"? bisexuals are not confused!

I don't they're calling her confused because she's bisexual.
I think they're calling her confused for being a media whore and then getting angry at being hounded by the media.
I have watched her show a few more times than I'm proud of. She is utterly needy, manipulative and loathsome.
What a crock. If it weren't for the media and her failed "romances", the midget would be out of a job. Dawgson's totally on the mark.
Being bi myself, I understand Queerunity's reaction. Seeing the word "confused" associated to anyone identifying as bisexual can be pretty insulting. Problem with someone like Tila Tequila is that she's a phony, no matter what. She seems to be playing into that whole bisexual-chic idiocy that's going on right now and totally giving us a bad image.
I think she does the bi community a disservice — Enough people don't believe in bisexuality to begin with and Tila Tequila's theatrics don't do much to help that impression.
Matter is, there aren't that many public figures out as proud bisexuals. My favourite is Alan Cumming, but quite a big margin of the population now thinks he's gay. Is it better to have no one to represent us or to have someone like Tila Tequila, who can say "I think women are sexy" as much as she want, I doubt she'd ever plan her future with another woman.
Whenever I tell someone that I'm bi, they nearly inevitably always respond, "oh, like Tila Tequila?"
And I have to say, "No, actually for real."
To give you my perspective on your question, Jude, I think that more people who know themselves to be bi need to stop identifying as gay or straight. Just because that's where it is comfortable for them doesn't make it true to themselves or the community. Visibility is the most important part of being better understood.
I totally agree with you, Kid A, and sometimes it's really frustrating when you meet someone with whom you could have a really good relationship, but who are totally turned off by the fact we identify as bi. It's happened to me that someone I liked said "What's the point if you're just gonna go and have sex with other people". Being bi doesn't mean you can't have a faithful, monogamous relationship. Also, all those bi guys who stay undercover because they fear the repercussions of being seen as queer. Man, some people need to assume themselves. It's just ruining it for the rest of us.
