Tila Tequila Tells Us: I'm Not Pregnant -- Yet!

Thought Tila Tequila was with child? Blame it on Twitter.
The reality star misspoke -- er, mis-Tweeted -- when she she announced Dec. 20 that she was pregnant and carrying a surrogate child for her brother and his wife. The pregnancy, she said at the time, was a Christmas gift.
So which stars really are expecting?
In an interview Dec. 22, Tila explained the apparent mix-up to UsMagazine.com: "I said I'm going to become a surrogate mother for my brother and his wife. That means I'm going to be pregnant. But the words 'going to be' didn't fit," she explained. (Twitter posts are limited to 140 characters.) "So I said 'I'm pregnant.' I'm not, but I'm going to be."
She says she called her brother immediately after Tweeting -- not before. "They've very country," she explained, noting that he's unaware of her Twitter feed. "They live in Texas and don't get online. that's why I just go crazy on the Internet because I know [my family's] not watching."
Babies of 2009! Look back on all the star babies born last year
The call went well, she says. "We were all crying. My brother's wife has been trying to have a baby for about five or six years now." (Tila, 28, declined to give their names or exact ages, only saying that they're "in their mid-30s.")
Tila says that she'll be the child's "aunt" once it's born, and that her brother and sister-in-law will raise the child. "I'm just the carrier. And I won't have to worry about changing the diapers and waking up at 3 a.m. I'll just be the aunt."
Look back on the craziest star antics of 2009
She admitted that she's not very far along in the surrogacy process. Her well-connected fiancee Casey Johnson -- heiress to the Johnson and Johnson fortune -- is "going to set me up with a doctor that's really good."
The star also confirms that she and Johnson got engaged "a couple weeks ago." "Casey and I used to hate each other," she admits. But "now she's a totally different woman. I brought her inner beauty out. She's just the most beautiful person I've ever met." Johnson is also taking Tila's legal last name, Nguyen.
Nope, I'm not pregnant: look back on these pregnancy denials
It was Johnson's 3 year-old daughter, Ava, that inspired Tila to carry her brother's child. "I'm going to adopt my fiance's daughter," she reasoned to Us. "So I'm going to be a stepmom to a 3-year-old pretty soon. I want to go through a process of what being pregnant feels like for the whole nine months."

The outspoken star admits she's "scared" about the whole process of in vitro: "There's a small chance you might not have it -- and then there's a chance you might have twins or octuplets. Can you imagine Tila Tequila with octuplets? I would die. I would die!"
Tell Us What You Think
48Leave Tila alone? How does posting in a forum bother her? This is open to the public to posts thoughts and opinions. Anybody who says "leave Tila alone" obviously supports this narcissist woman. And anyone who supports her needs to grow a brain -- seriously. ENOUGH ALREADY!!!
Tequila when you were on the reality show, I thought of you as a nasty piece of shit, and now I think of you as a low down, funky ass, snake in the grass bitch that needs to disappear. They should name the next std after you.
leave tilla alone shes just lost her fiancee if she wants to be a surrogate its her life it has nothing to do with anyone my heart goes out to her and caseys family if u dont like her dont post comments sad pathetic losers
isnt that incest if your using your own eggs and your brother's sperm??? she said she's doing invitro to create eggs...um that's odd!
No comment needed when a train wreck is this tragic!!!!!!!!
She's not getting married anymore, since Casey is dead.
I liked this story even more when Life & Style reported it two weeks ago.
she is a moron...really...what makes a celebrity these days...she has no talent, looks, education...anything that would reconcile her celebrity (even the D list she is)....its embarrassing for the whole country that we call this celebrity....elsewhere in the world, celebrity are educated, groomed and cared for to be who they are...only in this country someone like Tilla sells her talentless escapades and cashes in big on the same...so who is the fool...public??...or......
Wow You Guys Are So Immature..Its Her Business if She Wants To get Pregnant Or If She Doesnt Not Any of yours
Nasty, gross, no talent, media hog, lying, cheating, ugly nobody is in the media again! Caught in another lie. And why is this person in the media? Who is she? Someone US mag drug off the streets just to have something to print? Why are we even bothering to come and comment on this? I must be bored as h-e-l-l
nobody cares about this ho
chick is so dumb she thinks she can get pregnant by swallowing.
I knew there was no way God could deliver an innocent child to...that THING
Ok, so I understand why most of you have such a dislike for Tila, but honestly, for the situation she has so gracefully placed herself in, she is handling it, very VERY maturely. She is not only giving her brother the best gift she could ever give him and his wife, she is going to go through pregnancy so that she may better understand what it means to be a mother so that she may give her fiances little girl true motherly love, as she is going to adopt her. That is one of the most unselfish things a person can do for someone else...she is obviously not in it for the money side of surrogacy. Although most of you may think of her as a video hoe, trash, talentless fake, she is truly doing something that most of us would never consider for selfish reasons. She is going to do whatever she wants, no matter what we all say, so leave her alone...if you dont care to see her in the media, stop talking about her so much and maybe she wouldnt be...
Who the heck cares about this ho? seriously i wish the media would stop giving these talentless freaks coverage.
she's not pregnant yet and she's already dilated at 10 centimeters...
Why is she even in the tabloids? She is a nobody. I don't care what she does with her life. Please don't publish any pix of her. PUKE!!!!!!
This Tila thing is nothing short of a complete train wreck!
Honestly...why is she even in the news/tabloids at all? She's gross and a nobody. I doubt there are many (if any at all) who even care to read about this wierdo! She's just taking up space where we could be reading about someone else!!
She is just a wacked out doent know if she is gay or straight nut case MTV didnt want her after 2 shows she is a dried up MYSPACE personality trying to get her 15 minutes of fame once again
