MySpace was good—too good, in hindsight—to Tila Tequila. Twitter wasn't. So earlier this morning, she quit.

"What's the point of having a Twitter when everyone twists things I say around?" Tequila tells E! News.

"People can say sh-t about me, that's fine I don't care, but talk sh-t about my unborn? I get pissed…I'm a happy mommy and I am going to stay that way…by leaving Twitter!"

Now how are we supposed to know when Tila's claiming to be pregnant, calling out potential baby daddies, posting her cell phone number, adopting Haitian babies, announcing that she's put herself on suicide watchmourning the loss of her fiancée or otherwise exploiting her caps lock button?

"Fans are saying #TilaDontLeave I'm sorry but I have to go my loves," read her last series of tweets. "A baby is on the way.....Deleting my page in 3, 2........

"Andddddd 1........#TilaDontLeave but I'm out! Had lots of fun with you all and Love you, miss you but maybe I'll sign up again 1 day..bye"

True to her word (for maybe the first time ever), Tequila's Twitter account has been shut down.

"I love you all and will miss you here on Twitter! We have had our fun times together, but my Time on Twitter has run it's course! Deleting."

Deleting, but in her own sweet time, as nine more tweets were posted before her final good-bye.

"GOODBYE TWITTER!!! I WILL MISS YOU ALL! ACTUALLY AFTER THIS TWEET I WILL GIVE YOU 15 MORE MINUTES THEN I WILL DELETE MY PAGE NOW!"

Still, should anyone out there be curious as to the goings-on in Tila's life, she's left her forwarding information—her official blog, Tila's Hot Spot, on which she's already posted two journal messages today.

And in case anyone wanted the inside track as to why Tequila shut down her Twitter account, here it is: "Cuz Piggy face Perez is on there and he's so fat and ugly and I just felt disgusted being on the same community with him."

The pot then referred to the kettle as a "waste of space" and announced plans to launch her own celebrity gossip blog—TilaTequilaOMG.com—in about three weeks' time.

Apparently, there's about to be a gap in the market.

"PIGGY PEREZ IS SO JEALOUS OF ME!...HE KNOWS THAT MY BLOG WILL BLOW HIS S---TY BLOG OUT OF THE WATER!!!

Last we checked, Perez was still publishing. And the Twitterverse was humming along without a certain someone.
