At one point in her quest for stardom, Thien Thanh Thi Nguyen apparently considered becoming a porn actress under the wing of Altadena, Calif.-based pornographer Max Hardcore (aka Paul F. Little). These audition stills were stolen borrowed from the Max Hardcore porn site before it was seized by the feds and show what the young woman who would become "Tila Tequila" looked like before her makeover. Although she's become the brunt of a thousand disparaging jokes, it was solid decision-making not to go reverse cowboy for Little. "Max Hardcore," whose porn was known for its violence and depravity. Little was convicted of multiple obscenity charges and exploitation of minors last October and is now serving a four-year prison term. Tila may be older than 28, though.
