Tila Tequila Mourns Casey Johnson with Staged, Sexy Photo Shoot
If Tila Tequila is truly broken up over the death of her fiancee, Casey Johnson, she has a strange way of showing it.We're not even referring to the fact that she called the police on Nicky Hilton; made up a rumor that the socialite wants to kill Casey's dogs; and has Tweeted close to 100 messages since Johnson passed away.
Instead, we're talking about Tila's reaction to the paparazzi surrounding her home today.
Did she greet them with tears and a plea to leave her alone? Quite the contrary.
She brought her breasts out to play and posed seductively for the cameras. We know that's a reflex for Tila at this point, but you'd think the death of a loved one would cause her to act a bit abnormal at least...How strong Tila Tequila must be to smile through her pain, expose her cleavage, put a flower in her hair, lead photographers around her house and expose her cleavage some more. [Photos: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com]
Meanwhile, Tila continues to Tweet her supposedly broken heart away. She wrote today:
"I was the ONLY one who was constantly checking on my Wifey cuz I knew something was wrong... Casey cut out a lot of 'bad' people from her past to be with me cuz I was a good influence on her. We were so in love."
Ah, so that's why Tequila is posing in this manner. Out of love. She just wants Johnson see her breasts from heaven.
SEXY Photo Shoot: Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush
Wow, we don’t care who you are, you gotta admit these photos are hot! Could Kim Kardashian and her NFL boyfriend Reggie Bush be any sexier in their first GQ photo shoot?
Although Kim is used to being in front of the camera, she admits that they were nervous about the shoot, not knowing what to expect. We bet they are very pleased with the end result. Who wouldn’t be?
Marisa Miller's Sexy Photo Shoot
Showing off her moneymaker, Marisa Miller struck a few sexy poses during a photo shoot with famed photographer Russell James.
The Victoria's Secret beauty hit the beach as she waded in the water for a few shots, also taking to the studio for another round of photos.
Meanwhile, Miss Miller spent the past weekend as a presenter during the 2009 Academy Of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas.
Telling press how she keeps such a fit figure, Marisa explained, “I box a lot, I spin and I surf. I try to mix it up. I obviously have to be in shape 24 hours and the gym can be super monotonous, so I just get outside and try to make it fun so my body doesn’t get bored.”

Hottest Hollywood Momsss
It seems like most of my favorite Hollywood actresses are all mothers lately, and they’re all gorgeous!

Here’s the hottest Hollywood moms, the ones I admire most!
Celebrity Wardrobe Malfunctions
Okay, so everyone makes a slight wardrobe mistake from time to time, but most people don’t have personal stylists everywhere, and someone around just to check that their nail varnish is still chipfree and fantastic. I mean, everyone was shocked when it was revealed that a certain someone has an assistant to ice their nipples, and keep them looking perky… Yeah, with their lifestyles, celebrities have no excuse to get things this wrong. Learn from these horrendous mistakes…
