Born Tila Nguyen on October 24, 1981 in Singapore, Tila Tequila is the model turned celebrity after the launch of her widely popular MySpace page. When she was 18 years old, she was discovered at a mall by a Playboy scout and was eventually featured as Playboy's Cyber Girl of the week of April 22, 2002, consequently winning the title of the first Asian Cyber Girl of the Month. In 2001, she launched her website entitled "Tila's Hot Spot," which includes forums, chat sessions, picture galleries and a paid-premium membership section. This led her to launch several other websites in cooperation with various hosts. Nguyen then went on to appear on several magazine covers and reality television shows, and was later included in Maxim UK's Hot 100 List of 2006, placing #88. By the time she was 20, Nguyen ventured into music, recording songs and releasing them through iTunes. Despite her not having a major label, her song "I Love U," which was released on iTunes early in 2007, topped the iTunes charts within 24 hours.
