You might want to sit down for this. We know that as a city we take pride in the fact that anyone, with just time and determination, can become a New Yorker (transplant nonsense be damned). But with news that famewhore Tila Tequila is moving to New York City next weekend...we would like permission to reconsider that rule. Because the next thing you know Casey Anthony is going to move to Astoria. more ›

If anybody at the Gathering of the Juggalos had actually listened to Wu-Tang before, they would have seen this coming. Method Man tells TMZ that he's planning to sue somebody over the bloody wound he got when a member of the crowd threw a full beer can at his face, though he didn't specify who. He said, "It's not OK...I don't condone throwing things at the talent while they're performing." Neither does Tila Tequila, even though she was apparently warned she would be a target. more ›

We didn't much mind that attendees at the Gathering of the Juggalos reacted to Tila Tequila's performance by throwing bottles and "human poop" at the stage, but we'll be damned if they mess with one of Staten Island's own celebrities! Method Man and Redman were performing at the annual Insane Clown Posse fan gathering when one fan launched a "full beer can" at Method Man's face, leaving him with a bloody eye. Not cool, ninjas! more ›

Casey Johnson — socialite, Johnson & Johnson heiress, and daughter of NY Jets owner Woody Johnson — has died. TMZ reported the death of the 30 year old last night, saying that she "last tweeted on December 29th," and prior to that had been briefly staying with her fiance, Tila Tequila. The two were allegedly fighting last week, and when Johnson left Tila's house on the 29th, she left her dogs behind — Tila says was unable to get in touch with her afterwards. more ›

The Time Warner on-screen guide simply said "Tila Tequila" on MTV when the clock struck midnight last Monday, leading a casual observer to assume they were blowing through a marathon of her depressing reality show. But oh no! The oddly shaped, elfish face of the network apparently gets sole, top billing over the biggest night of the year as the host of MTV's annual New Years Eve party. She was mostly responsible for stumbling through some lines on her way to introducing the lineup of bands on tap, including the likes of Good Charlotte, Kid Rock and a somehow still relevant Wyclef. While those in attendance seemed to be having a fine time, it may pain music fans to see the network has no sign of changing their tune in the new year, rolling out the same rehashed schlock they've been shoveling for most of the decade. Cobra Starship summed it up best in their post-balldrop interview: "A lot of bands are trying to be credible...we wanna be in-credible in '08!" No word yet what role Gabe Saporta will play in "Shot of Love, Season 2." (pic via MTV) more ›

When it came to New Year's Eve countdown broadcasts, we were traditional and stuck with Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve. Which means we missed out on $275-million man Alex Rodriguez counting down with Carson Daly on Daly's New Year's Eve program. more ›

A sparkling new 700-pound ball, tons of confetti, and over a million people helped ring in the New Year from Times Square last night/early today. Mayor Bloomberg and police Police Academy valedictorian Karolina Wierzchowska, who also served in the Iraq War, hit the switch that brought the famous Times Square New Year's ball down. The Daily News called it a "shimmering pole dance," and it was the 100th time Times Square has had a ball drop to welcome the new year. more ›
