Reality star's delusions of grandeur

Tila Tequila, the bisexual star of MTV reality show "A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila," wants some respect, folks. Seems the infamy of being on one of a billion dating shows has gone to her head, and the young gal is claiming credit for helping overturn the ban on same-sex marriage in California.

She told "Us Weekly" that her show, in which she must choose a suitor from a group of men and women, has made Americans more accepting of gay and lesbian relationships.

“It is because of me," she said. "I definitely think [my show] has helped the movement. Before it came out, everyone was still a little apprehensive about [same-sex relationships.] Then they realized, ‘Wow, everyone is really into this stuff, and it is fine.’ The next thing you know, [same-sex marriage] is legal.”

How many shots of tequila has this girl had?
