Those born with a thirst for fame as well as an unfortunate (or boring) moniker face a tougher road to the A-list. So it’s no wonder that many celebs choose to drop their given name for something a bit more… catchy.
Of course, the gawking public isn’t dumb. They know the odds are slim that Sting was born with such an evocative handle. Each week we see an avalanche of searches for celebrity “real names.” Folks look up the obvious stage names (Larry the Cable Guy) as well as some that are a tad more subtle (John Wayne). Some of the lookups are met with disappointment. Madonna’s real name is, in fact, Madonna. Same deal with Prince.
Below we list the 20 top “real name” searches from the past week. Madonna and Tiger top the list, but you’ll find all sorts of actors, athletes, and musicians in the mix. Most people stick with the name they’re given. Celebrities are not “most people.”
Tila Tequila, who has proudly proclaimed that her MTV bisexual dating series, A Shot At Love, prompted the State of California to legalize gay marriage, is reportedly dating Black Eyed Peas star Will.i.am.
Does she seriously think she’s the reason gay marriage is now allowed?

While I am not a horror flick fan, I do find number 9 on the list of annoying people insulting. Uwe Boll can’t take criticism, but who can these days? After a few of movies sucked and the critics let him have it, he challenged the to a “boxing match.” Yes, because punching someone will prove you have the artistic skills to make films. If that is the case then Mohamed Ali is the next Steven Spielberg. To make matters worse for himself he also makes fun of the September 11th attacks.
Perez Hilton is scraping the bottom of the barrel at 8th place. The self entitled “Queen of the Media” is the subject of lawsuits when celebs hear the name of the z-lister they cringe. When fellow bloggers hear the moniker we slap our heads in shame. His barely informative dribble marked with white dots and drawings make me feel dirty. (Not in a good way.)
7th place goes to the guy who put the life of Prince Harry in danger to score some press. Matt Drudge also earns his annoyance award for defending Mark Foley’s indiscretions with congressional pages. He was also wrapped up in some “Openly Gay Canadian issues.
Chris Crocker sits happily at spot 6. This is the guy/girl…manimal that went crazy and tried to defend Britney Spears by screaming and crying with a sheet over his/her head. After comparing her to “as big of a topic as 9/11” Crocker didn’t make friends. Britney herself was insulted by the video of the rant. Good God, what do you have to do to insult someone who is kosher with shaving her head and wearing fishnet stockings while foaming at the mouth for Red Bull and blow?
The spot in fifth place is blog hater Buzz Bissinger. He was on the HBO program “Costas Now” to rip apart the blogging world. While I respect (but disagree with ) his thoughts that blogs “destroy journalism” he decided to go crazy and get violent in making his point. I hardly find it necessary to bust out my clubs and dueling pistols to chat about journalistic integrity.
4th place belongs to Michael Crook. He is the most hated for his views on the military. He is genuinely an idiot that devoted a site to “Forsake Our Troops.” The general opinion of this turd is that military men and women are “scumbags” and deserve to die. He feels that the are overpaid for putting their life on the line on a daily basis providing him with right to sit at home a be a douche bag. This is the type of guy who bitches about the military issues but is the first to call on them when our country is attacked.
Number three is, of course, Rosie O’Donnell. The former Queen of Nice now uses the internet to blog haikus of political views. (Yes I realize that rhymed.) The good thing about this is that you aren’t forced into visiting her blog.
The “Spam King” is under the scope of hatred at number two. Robert Soloway is responsible for using the net to lure people into giving out info via spam e-mail. Currently he is facing 26 years in jail thanks to charges of e-mail fraud, identity theft and tax evasion. Yes, he is the assclapper that started the “Strategic Partnership Against Microsoft Illegal Spam.”
Tila Tequila takes first place. After tempting pervs out there with the promise of bisexuality and being a total skank failed to impress the masses her music is just the icing on the cake. Page Six isn’t a fan of her or her musical endeavors…and neither are her “fans.” Her first single sold a measly 13,000 copies. Ouch.

Tila Tequila dances for her public via her webcam. She bounces around her bedroom and gets into the groove with Madge in a pair of stonewashed shorts that look like she dug them out the closet of bad 80’s videos of the past.
I am really surprised she keeps her clothes on. It is only a matter of time before a Tila Tequila nude video or sex tape makes it to the net. Speaking of trashtastic women…if you are one, Tila is casting for an ad campaign to help out Burma.
My real questions are….Was Tila bored? Did she run out of Tequila?
Following in the footsteps of the Bush Twins, Meghan McCain is a young hottie likely to cause problems with dad’s conservative base. And she’s definitely more Jenna than Barbara.
She recently sat down with GQ’s Greg Veis. She made quite an impression.
Meghan McCain arrives at the door to her apartment out of breath and wobbly in calf-high boots. It’s a seventy-five-degree February afternoon in Phoenix, and the 23-year-old daughter of the presumptive Republican nominee for president is wearing a black leather jacket over a scarf and gray scoop-neck T-shirt. I extend my hand to introduce myself, but she knocks it down and wraps me up in a bear hug.
“I’ve never had anybody fly across the country for me who I wasn’t dating,” she says. “I’m so flattered!”
But he didn’t get lucky:
Alas, the tour stops here. Meghan won’t show me her bedroom—it’s too messy, she says. Besides, she’s starving, and she really wants to take me to lunch at one of her favorite restaurants ever, Garduño’s Margarita Factory.
Looking to wine and dine her?
Meghan’s cultural tastes are pretty straight down the middle for a recent college grad. She went crazy for Superbad, Knocked Up, and The Big Lebowski (“I fucking love that movie”). On TV she’s currently riveted by MTV’s A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila. “It’s a bisexual-dating show!” she cries. “It’s hilarious!”
When she ticks off a list of celebrities she’s into, she offers a surprising pick: the burlesque stripper Dita Von Teese. “I know she’s not someone you would expect the daughter of a Republican candidate to like, but I love her,” she says. “I love the way she dresses. If I could look like that all day, I would…in her day clothes, I mean.
“And, yes, I know she’s a fetish star, but”—she lowers her head for this—“I think that’s rock ’n’ roll.”
Pretty hot, right?
“You want to hear a hilarious story?” she asks. “I guess you can print this if you want, but it’s not my finest moment. Once, this guy at Columbia was talking to his friends. He was like, ‘Meghan McCain this’ and ‘Meghan McCain that,’ going on, saying that he’d slept with me and that it was great. I just happened to be walking by at the time. I was like, ‘Hi, I’m Meghan McCain. I didn’t realize that we’d met.’ He turned ghost white, so I showed him my ID, and I was like, ‘I’m glad you were sharing our passionate love story.’ ”
So, what’s it going to take to get in this babe’s pants?
“I like bad boys for the most part,” Meghan adds. “In the past, I have liked tattooed guys who wear Converse. But I’d be open to anyone as long as you have a sense of humor. I have also dated totally normal guys who look like you, I guess—D.C.-looking guys.”
“I’m an acquired taste,” Meghan says matter-of-factly. “I’m a daughter of a Republican senator. I started dating this guy, and he wouldn’t date me anymore because he found out who my dad was. He says, ‘I don’t agree with his politics.’ Isn’t that terrible? That’s why you’re dumping me? We only went on two dates, but still. Not everybody wants to go out with somebody so high-profile. If they do, they’re investment bankers. Seriously. Ugh! If you’re an investment banker, don’t hit on me. You can quote me. I’m not interested.”
If you manage to get past all that — and the Secret Service detail — you at least shouldn’t have to put up with a lot of games.
Meghan puts it more succinctly: “I’m almost incapable of bullshit. He’s the same way.”
You can see more of Meghan at the McCainBlogette blog, which has lots of photos and some hot, sexy videos. Well, actually, the videos are pretty tame — no nudity or anything like that — but she’s pretty hot.
The boys at GreenMountainPolitics think so too. They’ve got a photo of her bare feet with a little tatoo of a star on them.
