A few weeks ago, prolific self-promoting Twitterer Tila Tequila tweeted that she was sick and throwing up repeatedly, and then posted that “I’m gonna tell y’all something REAL FAST, and then delete it, ok? Since nobody is awake… reason why I’ve been feeling sick on and off lately is because yes, I am pregnant!”

The thing is, you can never delete a tweet because they still show up in searches, sometimes for weeks, and there are websites that archive them. Just go to Tweleted and plug in Tila Tequila’s Twitter username, officialTila. She’s deleted so many tweets that the one about being pregnant has been pushed off the list by more recent deletions. She did make reference to being pregnant in a now-deleted tweet on June 3: “I know, ya’ll just can’t keep up with my love life huh? 1st pregnant, then all these men(supposedly), now my girlfriend…keep up! LOL”

Now we can all breathe a sigh of relief that the clueless woman who starred in the first bisexual dating show is not going to have a baby. Tila recently posted on her MySpace blog that she is “not currently pregnant” without denying that she used to be:

So I don’t usually like to address rumors cuz all it does is start up more drama, and as you can all clearly see in all of my video’s, I am a very fun-loving, happy, and drama-free type of girl. However lately the rumors have been piling up and I just felt the need to clear up the rumors for all of my fans because I care about you and want you to know the truth! First of all….the PREGNANCY rumors….the point is…maybe I was pregnant, or maybe I wasn’t pregnant. I think that is something very personal but I’m going to clear that up now and say that I am not currently pregnant. So there you go! Let’s move on now! NEXT!

Tila also posted a video in which she told us to “look up the word ‘hearsay’ in the dictionary and compared the speculation about her pregnancy to the game “telephone.” Only in this case, Tila is the one who first broke the news to the public. She sort-of acknowledges this, saying “you start to lose actual truth behind a small little message and everyone gets it all misconstrued.”

She also seems to explain that the pregnancy story was planned for publicity. “Everything is also very well orchestrated, and I’m having a lot of fun…. I don’t really care about those false rumors. It’s all orchestrated.” So is someone coaching Tila to tweet that she’s pregnant or is someone else posting those Twitter messages on her behalf? I was ready to believe that she was really pregnant at one point when I read this story on People and just saw what she wrote, but after watching the video I’m pretty sure either someone else is running her Twitter account or is telling her to start rumors so that she’ll get more press. It worked this one time and she got some coverage but she ended up looking like even more of a tool than she did before. She’s going to have to think of other stunts to pull or she’ll just be the starlet who cried wolf baby.
