Happy B-day HG!

Today is Tuesday and Pop-Cultured is wishing our favorite virtual celebrity HAPPY BIRTHDAY! That’s right, today is the one and only Heather Grey Chase’s b-day. And yes, yes we knowww! It’s Madonna’s birthday too…but back to HG.

We wish we could tell you exactly how long ago HG was born in the wonderful city of Philadelphia (or New York City according to some interviews), but like every other model/actress HG is cagey about such personal information. *EYE ROLL*

What we do know (according to our spy-pigeons abroad) is that HG is actually in her homeland, Amurica. We’re betting she’s in L.A. (because you-know-who lives there… No not Voldemort – BILL KAULITZ!)

JK!

HG was spotted catching a plane from Germany’s Frankfurt airport with her BFFer, Erik Monk, earlier this afternoon. According to our sources The American Icon is en-route for a week with her family in a remote, island destination. (We’re guessing Britain this time because of you-know-who…)

But seriously, Happy Birthday HG. We’ve missed you the past year, pretty please come back to us? Like, come to America again? Remember how you live here?

This has been Pop-Cultured.

Could This Be Heather Grey Chase?

Bill and Tom Kaulitz of German rock band Tokio Hotel made a rare appearance at an event in California this Saturday: the NIVEA and Shay Todd Summer Chateau. In the photos from the event the Kaulitz twins sported beards and the always androgynous Bill appears to have packed on some muscle in the last few months.

But more pressing, who is the mystery girl the twins were pictured with? Some are claiming it is Bill Kaulitz’s rumored paramour, Heather Grey Chase. What do you think?

Could this be THE Heather Chase?

 

Heather Grey Chase and her twin brother, James, possibly?

Bill Kaulitz Who?

She’s always had a thing for older men – Heather Grey Chase was spotted in Hamburg on May 5 with Germany’s second biggest rockstar, violinist David Garrett.

Chase attended Garrett’s concert in Berlin, where she currently lives, on May 2. On a whim, Chase reportedly introduced herself to Garrett, having been impressed by his performance, which blends classical music with modern rock. According to sources, Garrett was impressed by Chase and asked her to dinner, during his down day between concerts.

The dinner looked like a casual date according to on-lookers, who report Chase arrived in her signature-disheveled look of rock-couture. Her long blond hair was a tousled mess, and she wore black jeans with a blouse, towering black stilettos and a cameo necklace. Garrett, who also sports a hard partying rocker look with scruff, arrived with his long blond hair tied back and in jeans.

Garrett is a German/American violinist best known as “the world’s fastest violinist” and for his cross over style. He was featured on the American hit-TV show, Dancing with the Stars, in April before embarking on his tour in Germany.

Former American model turned record producer, Heather Chase, is best known for her virtual celebrity as the rumored paramour of Bill Kaulitz, lead singer of Tokio Hotel.  She is also one half of Berlin-based experimental electronic duo, Pigeon, whose signature sound is electronic violin.

Bill Kaulitz Debuts New ‘Hairstyle’

Androgynous German rockstar, Bill Kaulitz, of Tokio Hotel, has grown a beard shocking fans worldwide. But the real question is: what does Heather Grey Chase think of the beard?

Tokio Hotel fans were shocked when Bill Kaulitz, along with twin brother, Tom Kaulitz, appeared with a beard during the band’s recorded MTV O Music Award acceptance speech. Tokio Hotel won the award for having the best fan army: Aliens.

Wearing his trademark suspenders, this is the first time Kaulitz has ever been seen publicly with facial hair. Because of his feminine look, love of fashion and public lack of a girlfriend, many believe him to be a closet gay. The facial hair gives him a more masculine look, but has many fans that love his metrosexual sex-image wondering why he ditched the clean-shaven look.

In 2009, Kaulitz drastically changed his appearance when he dreaded his famous Sonic the Hedgehog hair reportedly because he wanted to get back at his rumored ex-girlfriend, Heather Chase.  The media hailed the apparent break-up of Kaulitz and Chase, especially after Kaulitz underwent a rumored nose job and got several new piercings. Chase, meanwhile, disappeared from the media spotlight.

In August 2010, Kaulitz was spotted with Chase in Los Angeles, where he and his brother now reside. Chase currently lives in Berlin. It is widely debated whether the two are actually a couple or not.

Since 2008, Chase has publicly denounced rumors that Kaulitz is gay and has regularly contributed her thoughts on Tokio Hotel fandom news, earning her the media nickname of “Bill Kaulitz’s Masculinity Protector.” Could it be that he finally took her advice and stepped up his masculinity? Or was he just being lazy that day?

Bill Kaulitz to “Marry” A Russian Fan-Girl and Leave His Band Tokio Hotel

The latest rumor to hit the Tokio Hotel fandom claims that lead singer, Bill Kaulitz, is to marry a Russian fan-girl. A Russian tabloid reported the story Tuesday, April 26.

A Russian fan-girl claims German rockstar, Bill Kaulitz, uses the media to give her signs of his intentions to marry her, leaving his band, Tokio Hotel.

Schnee, Tokio Hotel fandom-watchdog and moderator of Tokio Hotel America, The Official Fanclub of the United States, blogged about the supposed marriage shortly after the rumor went viral Wednesday, April 27. [link here]

She cited the rumor as a deranged fan-girl fantasy not to be taken seriously. Such rumors are nothing new in Tokio Hotel’s international fan community.

The “Evening Rostov” article reports Russian fan-girl Nastasija Shljahovaja ‘met’ Kaulitz on social networking site, MySpace, on February 14, 2011. The two allegedly exchanged interactions, Kaulitz using an assumed identity. Shljahovaja, a struggling musician, also reports she sent Tokio Hotel her demo tapes.

Shljahovaja claims Kaulitz uses his media exposure to drop hints that he is in a relationship. She believes these “hints” signify Kaulitz’s intentions to marry her, leaving his band Tokio Hotel. The article reports that Kaulitz will propose while Tokio Hotel is in Russia this June.

Shljahovaja also claims she has revealed her story because Kaulitz wanted her too. This would then cause the media to ask Kaulitz for confirmation of the rumor, making their relationship official. Kaulitz would then have the chance to make his departure from Tokio Hotel as well.

Many Tokio Hotel fans are amused by the story, commenting their disbelief on Tokio Hotel America’s Official blog; “Is there anyone who believes this?!” one fan commented. “I think the poor girl has a delusional disorder,” commented another.

Along with disbelief of the strange rumor, many Tokio Hotel fans are turning their heads towards Kaulitz’s long-time rumored girlfriend, Heather Grey Chase, to see what she has to say on the rumor. Chase has a reputation of vocally expressing her dislike of Kaulitz’s bad press and her annoyance with tabloid reports of him dating a “secret” fan-girl girlfriend.

Chase refused comment to German tabloid Bild.de.

Mimi Niggel, the blogmistress of The Heather Chase Files, a blog dedicated to all-news about Chase, tweeted on Thursday that The Files’ had received a comment reporting the strange rumor as early as March 20, 2011.

Blogmistress of The Heather Chase Files, Mimi Niggel, tweeted about the strange rumor saying a reader posted a comment about it on her blog in March 2011.

The comment claims: “Bill Kaulitz’s girlfriend lives in Russia. Bill and his girlfriend have serious intentions but information about it was kept secret due to the difficult situation… She is 18 years old… She is a professional musician. Over time, various attempts were made to disclose this information, but not so often and clear so that people could immediately guess that Bill Kaulitz is not alone…”

A comment about the strange rumor was posted by "Whilson" on The Heather Chase Files, March 20, 2011.

It’s interesting that murmurings of Kaulitz’s alleged Russian girlfriend appeared on a blog about Chase before appearing in actual Russian tabloids. The rumor also seems to parallel the rumor of Chase and Kaulitz.

Many articles about Chase dissect Kaulitz’s media actions as unconscious nods to their on-again, off-again relationship. It has even been claimed Tokio Hotel’s lastest album, Humanoid, was inspired by Chase and her virtual celebrity. Kaulitz has also never publicly confirmed or denied rumors that he is more-than a friend with Chase.

Heather Chase Has Something to Say…

Heather Grey Chase has something to say, but who really cares?

A well-known, muckraking German tabloid quoted Chase saying, “’Born This Way’ was written in 10 minutes? No wonder it sucks.”

The model is talking about Lady Gaga’s latest single, “Born This Way,” which dropped last Friday, February 11. Gaga reportedly told American Vogue she’d written the hit single in 10 minutes, calling it an “immaculate conception.”

In the past Chase, who fronts the folk-synth band Pigeon, has been likened to Lady Gaga in media for her satirical rendition’s of Gaga’s songs like “Love Game.”
