Tila Tequila Gives Love Another Shot On MTV
January 3, 2008
Tila Tequila, the uberstar that originally spawned from MySpace, has signed on to give love another shot on MTV.
The original Shot at Love was a megahit for the network, with the finale drawing in an astonishing six million viewers. That’s the biggest draw for a series on MTV since November ‘02.
In the first run of the series, Ms. Tequila chose Bobby Banhart to be her one and only. However, she recently announced that the two have already gone separate ways. Bobby claimed that they never even saw each other after he “won”, complaining on his MySpace that “she never called me after the last show and no one would give me her number.”
Either way, she’s single once again…which is quite convenient for all parties involved.
There will be ten new episodes of the show which will begin airing this spring. The format will remain the same, with both men and women vying to win Tila’s heart.

October 5, 2007
A federal jury today decided that Jammie Thomas of Minnesota must pay $220,000 to 6 major music labels after she was found guilty of copyright violation via Kazaa, a peer-to-peer file sharing service.
Ms. Thomas was the first of over 26,000 people that had been sued by the Recording Industry Association of America to take the battle to the courts. She has always maintained her innocence and claimed she didn’t even have a Kazaa account.
“When the evidence is clear, we will continue to bring legal actions against those individuals who have broken the law,” gloated the RIAA in an e-mailed statement.
“This program is important to securing a level playing field for legal online music services and helping ensure that record companies are able to invest in new bands of tomorrow.”
Courtesy of Wired, here are the 24 songs she was found guilty of sharing:
*Guns N Roses “Welcome to the Jungle” and “November Rain.” *Vanessa Williams “Save the Best for Last.” *Janet Jackson “Let’s What Awhile.” *Gloria Estefan “Here We Are,” “Coming Out of the Heart” and “Rhythm is Gonna Get You.” *Goo Goo Dolls “Iris.” *Journey “Faithfully” and “Don’t Stop Believing.” *Sara McLachlan “Possession” and “Building a Mystery.” *Aerosmith “Cryin’ ” *Linkin Park “One Step Closer.” *Def Leppard “Pour Some Sugar on Me.” *Reba McEntire “One Honest Heart.” *Bryan Adams “Somebody.” *No Doubt “Bathwater,” “Hella Good” and “Different People.” *Sheryl Crow “Run Baby Run.” *Richard Marx “Now and Forever.” *Destiny’s Child “Bills, Bills, Bills.” *Green Day “Basket Case.”
