Tila Tequila is a dangerous mixture of an extremely troubled person who is media savvy and mildly famous enough to stir up as much sh*t as she can possibly manage. There’s new drama with Tila at least every month, and if she doesn’t have a personal issue to exploit she’ll invent one to get headlines. To recap: in September she claimed that San Diego Charges quarterback Shawne Merriman abused her, a claim that was dismissed by the DA’s office but which Tila fixated on for weeks. In November she went on an extended semi-naked webcam rant on Merriman in which her tampon sting was visible and she brandished a gun. Then in October she claimed she was pregnant as a surrogate for her brother, but then later backed down and admitted she was just volunteering for the job.

In December, she made a video announcing her engagement to heiress Casey Johnson in which both women wore bras and panties while Tila bragged about the size of her ring and Johnson’s wealth. TMZ reports that the engagement was conceived by Girls Gone Wild head Joe Francis, who manages Tila’s website, and that Casey told friends it wasn’t a real engagement and that she had only known Tila for three days. Casey of course died unexpectedly alone at home early this year, and as sad as that must be for Tila, the devil on my shoulder is telling me that it’s the best thing that’s happened for her publicity-wise. Weepy, poor-me, look-at-me Tila is everywhere now and she’s making wild claims as usual. Her latest is a weak bid for Casey’s adopted 3 year-old daughter, who has been staying with her grandmother for over a year due to Casey’s inability to care for the child.

In a new twist to the Casey Johnson saga, Tila Tequila reveals that she is seeking custody of her late fiancée’s adopted daughter.

Johnson’s mother, Sale, currently has custody of Ava, 3, which Tequila insists goes against what her “wifey” wanted.

“Her last wish was to have Ava, have me have Ava,” Tequila told “Extra,” explaining that she intends to file adoption papers.

“[Casey’s] not resting in peace right now,” she added. “She has come to me in my dreams.”

The Twitter-addicted reality star, who has tweeted about the Johnson & Johnson heiress more than 160 times since her Jan. 4 death, said she was kept in the dark about her late lover’s funeral plans.

Johnson was buried Tuesday in a tiny graveyard in Princeton, N.J., where only immediate family was in attendance, sources told the Daily News.

In a tearful interview with RadarOnline.com, Tequila recalled how she first learned that Johnson was dead.

“The last time I spoke with her was on the 30th, late on the 30th and everything was fine. The last thing she said was, ‘I love you so much. I never want to lose you. I can’t wait for us to start our family together.’ And then I said, ‘I love you too and I’ll be back home soon,’ ” she said before breaking into tears, as mascara ran down her face.

After she was unable to get ahold of Johnson on New Year’s Eve, however, Tequila says she became concerned, first thinking her partner was mad at her and then worrying that her phone service had been cut off.

“Finally I got a call from my friend, Joe Francis. That’s when I immediately booked a ticket home,” she choked. “The minute Joe called me, I was back here within three and a half hours, and that’s when I found out. Joe hid me at his house.”

Although cause of death for Johnson is still pending, Tequila believes she didn’t try to take her own life.

“I know for a fact, because Casey was so excited for our life together. I know for a fact it was not suicide,” she told “Extra!”

I try to ignore this woman, I really do, and I know that many of you are going to comment that we should ignore her in the future. That’s no problem and barring a major disaster I’ll do my best. Really it’s so bad I’d rather write about Heidi and Spencer. At least it’s easier to keep track of the stunts they pull.
