If you won’t judge, I will; rather, I’ll let her own site judge her:

From http://www.myspace.com/TilaTequila:
“Never more than now has celebrity been celebrated so unbrokenly, no unabashedly, and so much without merit.”

“For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.” – Matthew 7:2 (KJV)
