So a couple of days ago I became convinced that since Tila Tequila and Courtnay Semel had never been seen together apart from red carpet appearances, their lesbian relationship was fake and Tila was just using Courtnay to keep her name in the papers.

It seemed like a valid theory at the time.

Anyway, I challenged any reader to prove my theory wrong, and it looks like Heather has done exactly that, drawing my attention to these bikini pool pictures of Tila and Courtenay, taken at the Standard Hotel in LA.

At least I think I’ve been proven wrong.

The part that doesn’t make sense is the photographer who took these say Tequila was at the hotel to do an interview for a magazine. While it’s common for a celebrity to book a hotel suite for interviews, they’re usually at the hotel just for the interviews. And anyway, strip down to bikinis and make out with your girlfriend at a place you already know reports will be, if the point isn’t to be seen with her?

And if this wasn’t a planned photo op, why is Tila Tequila wearing fuck me pumps? Who the hell wears high heels at a hotel pool?

Look I’m not saying Tila and Courtenay are in a fake lesbian relationship anymore, I’m sold. What I’m saying is their insatiable need for public attention is the quality that they find attractive about each other.
