Tila Nguyen (pronounced /tiːˈlɑː ˈnʊjɪn/) (legal name: Thien Thanh Thi Nguyen, born October 24, 1981), better known by her stage name Tila Tequila, is an American model, entertainer, and singer residing in West Hollywood, California. She is known for her appearances in Stuff, Maxim, Time, Penthouse, her role as host of the Fuse TV show Pants-Off Dance-Off and her position as the most popular artist on MySpace (according to page views) as of April 2006. She was raised in Houston, Texas. Her MTV show A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila premiered on October 9, 2007.

Nguyen was born in Singapore, where her family had emigrated from Vietnam after the Vietnam War. When Nguyen was a year old, she and her family moved to Alief, a suburb of Houston, where they lived, until they were admitted to a gated community run by a strict Buddhist temple. The family left the community when Nguyen was eight.
While in middle school, Nguyen became a tomboy and was eventually sent to a boarding school for six months for her combative behavior. before transferring to another school. While in high school, she used her sister’s identification card to enter nightclubs, where she began recreational drug use and joined a gang. In an interview with Import Tuner, Nguyen said she had been searching for a sense of identity: “I was really confused then, [because] at first I thought I was black, then I thought I was Hispanic and joined a cholo gang”. Later, some friends outside the gang briefly helped turn her life around, however her past caught up with her, and she fled to Queens, New York at the age of 16.

Nguyen’s career began at the age of 18 when she was discovered at the Sharpstown Mall by a Playboy scout and was offered a chance to model nude for the magazine. She did a test shoot, then eventually moved to Southern California and was featured as Playboy’s Cyber Girl of the week on April 22, 2002, and soon thereafter she became the first Asian Cyber Girl of the Month. A few more pictorials for the magazine followed.

Nguyen gained further popularity through the import racing scene. She has been featured on the cover of Import Tuner magazine, at car shows such as Hot Import Nights, and in the video game Street Racing Syndicate. In 2003, she was a contestant on VH1’s Surviving Nugent, a reality TV show where participants performed compromising tasks and stunts for rock star Ted Nugent. She was also the most frequent host on the first season of Fuse TV’s dance show, Pants-Off Dance-Off, on which a group of contestants strip to music videos. Tila has also previously worked with VH1 as a commentator on WebJunks’s 40 Greatest Internet Superstars.

Nguyen was featured on the cover of the April 2006 issue of Stuff magazine; in the interview, she claimed that her nickname “Tila Tequila” came about when she experimented with alcohol in middle school and had a severe allergic reaction. She was later included in Stuff’s 100 Sexiest Women Online. She appeared on the August 2006 Maxim UK cover, was named #88 in their Hot 100 List,[13][14] and also appeared in the December 2007 issue.

Tequila made an appearance as one of the 12 strangers in the first game on the April 6, 2007 episode of NBC’s game show Identity. Her identity was that she has “over one million MySpace friends,” a number which, as of that date, stood at 1,771,920.[16] On March 4, 2007 Nguyen made a cameo appearance on the show “War At Home.”She also appeared as a Hooters Girl in the 2007 film I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry.

In 2001 Nguyen started up her website entitled “Tila’s Hot Spot”. Originally it was a website featuring her information, quotes, blog, and pictorials including content that required adult verification and a monthly payment fee to view. Later the site format was revamped by TAJ Designs Inc. to feature all-ages content and information to promote her current career, business ventures, personal information, and a premium membership section including videos, non-nude picture galleries, blogs, and chat sessions.

During 2005 Nguyen launched Tilafashion.com, a site featuring her custom line of clothing for men and women originally using the slogan “So hot you’ll just want to take it all off!” In 2006 Tila created a website entitled “Tila Zone,” which features content to use on Myspace and other social networking websites including layouts, widgets, and clipart.

The grant will help pay for school rehabilitation programmes as well as educational necessities such as books and supplies.

“These educational support programmes for children of conflict are the best way to help them heal,” said Jolie in announcing the donation.

In addition to donating millions of dollars for various social causes, Jolie serves as a goodwill ambassador for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and Pitt is a leading advocate for relief in the Darfur region and for victims of Hurricane Katrina on the US Gulf Coast.
