Tila Tequila goes prime time (in a bi-sexual dating show on MTV…I don't really know what to say about this so I will defer to Idolator's witty commentary. Plus MTV is launching loads of new niche sites including one for girl gamers. And a design contest with HP) (Hollywood Reporter) (Marketing Week UK)
