New Celebrity Sightings

Tila Tequila is one of many famous reality queens who’ve brought controversy to the scene with her life of drugs, drinking, and gangs, as well as her pregnancy scares and miscarriages. She gained celebrity in the reality world in 2008 with her show “A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila” where she not only had men fight for her love, but also had lesbian ladies try to win her love also. She recently suffered a crisis when her fiance, Casey Johnson, suddenly died in Jan 2010.

But the name Tila Tequila always looks to be followed by sex, whether or not it is a sex tape or her attempt at the adult industry. Yet, oddly enough, she is saying that she pushes safe sex and says stars like Heidi Montag are sending a bad message to girls. She seems to be attempting to get the attention of anybody she will be able to by asserting anything she’ll, whether it is correct or not.

Sasha Grey is another example of someone who would like to be in the media attention. A known adult entertainment star, Sasha Grey is now trying to get into the arena of main line entertainment. It is tricky to say whether she wants to get out of the adult business or not. But she knows the same thing that Tila Tequila knows: sex sells. Whether it be a sex scandal, another adult film, a pregnancy alert, or merely living a hoofing way of life, they understand that whatever they do will be in the media.

There are those who hate Tila Tequila, love her, or both love and hate her. The same goes for Sasha Grey. They might not be the best resource to go to for sex tips, but you can’t read a magazine or watch celeb stories without hearing their names.

Tila Tequila, other than being a fact star, also promotes herself as a vocalist, although the majority tune in for her scandals rather than to hear her sing. With Sasha Grey, she’s trying hard to get more into precise acting rather than just doing adult films, but people who know her as a grown up film star will have a tricky time taking her seriously in more main line entertainment roles. And, almost all of her roles have a sexual nature to them. But one thing may be said about both of these women; they like attention and will do pretty much anything to get attention. Just make absolutely sure not to take their romance tips or life tips seriously.

Season Seven of Dancing With the Stars has now arrived, and the popular show is already rife with controversy. Roughly one third of the contestants have been eliminated, but surprisingly, 82-year-old Oscar-winning actress Cloris Leachman is still in the running despite a weak showing. Cloris is not the only figure surrounded by controversy, however; Misty May Treanor had to leave the show because she was hurt. Is Dancing With the Stars cursed?

I say Cloris Leachman’s continued participation is controversial because of the way the judges scored and tallied the votes. We’ve seen all of the stars dance now, and to be honest, while some have shown a great deal of improvement, a lot of the performances are very weak. Cloris received some very low scores at the beginning of the season, despite flirting relentlessly with the judges. This may sound bad, but her performance has been the worst. The producers of the show probably shouldn’t invite anyone who’s older than 70 to participate, because they just can’t keep up with younger, more fit dancers.

To be fair, many of the dancers are improving. The judges have been giving higher scores and the higher scores have been justified. For the most part, I think Cloris is being kept in the competition by the voters, not the judges. I hope she gets voted off before she injures herself.

A number of people have been hurt this season. Jeff Ross was injured when he was hit in the eye by his partner’s finger. One of the professional dancers, Karina Smirnoff, twisted her ankle during practice. Both have since been eliminated.

Only about a half dozen celebrities are still in the running; nearly 50% of the contestants have been eliminated. Keep track of who’s on and who’s off by visiting Who is Left on Dancing With the Stars.
