Digital Love: Tokio Hotel Rumor of 2009

Is it really what you thought it was?

Heather Grey Chase’s moniker is synonymous with surfing for Bill Kaulitz’s girlfriend. It’s virtually impossible not to have read any of the Tokio Hotel diehards’ debate whether or not Chase and (lead singer) Kaulitz are an item. After all, Chase’s relationship with Kaulitz is the Tokio Hotel fandom rumor of 2009.

 

It started as a blurb on Tokio Hotel’s Spanish fan site, and grew into a virtual phenomenon via mass coverage from world-wide pop-culture blogs, YouTube stalker videos, bashings on music forums and various tabloids’ claiming the couples’ love, friendship, and infidelity. In early 2009 the rumor of Heather Chase dating Tokio Hotel lead singer, Bill Kaulitz, disappeared from public eye leaving fans grappling with confusion, but more rumors would surface and the chase would be on again.

Are they really together? Or is it just a Tokio Hotel marketing gimmick?

In spring 2009 rumors of Chase’s band (Pigeon) lending their signature violin trademark to Tokio Hotel’s new album, in a published article, attempted to explain the question of who Heather Grey Chase really was. With a subsequent break up of Pigeon, Tokio Hotel returned to the scene. In August 2009 TH announced their new album Humanoid. Chase retreated back into anonymity.

Was Humanoid named for Chase? Did Bill and Heather break up?

With Humanoid’s release in September 2009 Kaulitz confirmed his single “Automatic” was indeed inspired by love and a girl. The album itself was inspired by something that happened to him over the course of the last year. Kaulitz stated something totally unexpected had started online. Yet along with the hype of “Humanoid” came the bashings on Billy’s masculinity, from Perez Hilton and then Alexa Chung. Eerily, Chase materialized to successfully defend Kaulitz’s honor once again.

Who is this girl? Are Chase and Kaulitz for real?

Tokio Hotel fans were positive they had Heather Grey Chase figured out. For them, the lack of information had deemed her a fraud. Then, on December 22, 2009 a photo of Chase exiting her car was published. Tabloids greeted it as a first, enjoying the fact that it had not been hidden by Tokio Hotel’s management or by Chase’s reclusive family.

Has the world found Heather Grey Chase?

At the close of the year, and propelled by 2009’s favorite social networking sites, Twitter and Facebook, Chase once again looks like Bill Kaulitz’s girlfriend. It comes as no surprise. The facts are all in the open. Will 2010 be the beginning of a new year for the love story of Chase and Kaulitz? The coming year will tell.

Alexa Chung; Heather Grey Chase’s Newest Soapbox?

During an Adam Lambert interview. . .American model Heather Grey Chase slams British model Alexa Chung and boyfriend after bitchy comments on Chase’s boyfriend.

 

“Alexa’s such a two-faced bitch. Especially to guests on her show…” Chase slammed Chung, the host of MTV’s It’s On With Alexa Chung, after her rude facial expressions and remarks about Tokio Hotel’s Bill Kaulitz.

Chung dissed Kaulitz’s style, sexuality, and stated she didn’t know how anyone could crush on Kaulitz [after Adam Lambert revealed Kaulitz is his celebrity crush.] Tokio Hotel supporters are shocked at the MTV host’s two-faced personality as Tokio Hotel has recently appeared on the show; during which Chung was exceptionally nice.

Chase retorts, “…who doesn’t love Bill. Well, except for people with a thing for dating look-alike Monkeys.” (Chung is dating Alex Turner of the Arctic Monkeys who looks exactly like her.)

This is not the first time H.G. Chase has defended Kaulitz’s masculinity in the face of America’s pop-culture spokespeople; she slammed Perez Hilton for his remarks as well.
