Bill & Heather: Tattoo Twins

Last October the Tokio Hotel fandom went wild trying to find out what Bill Kaulitz’s new tattoo was..  Several people claimed the vertical script tattoo, captured on grainy photographs, was actually the name of Kaulitz’s paramour, Heather [Chase]. The rumor was fueled by the fact that Bill announced he would get the name of his girlfriend tattooed on him.

It was stated that Bill and Heather had matching tattoos; Heather stated in an interview that both of them [Bill and her] thought matching tattoos were “especially cool.”

It’s now one year later, still no one is completely sure what Bill’s tattoo really says and he remains very tight-lipped about it. But during the Z100 live chat on October 17 Bill revealed his favorite tattoo is the one on his side; the one rumored to read Heather. Bill’s apoplectic, girl-crazed twin brother, Tom, proceeded to spill the beans announcing that there is in fact “a twin tattoo [to the one] that Bill is wearing.”

Thanks Tom, for letting us in on that dirty little secret. We knew you couldn’t control yourself.

Rumor Patrol

THE RUMOR. The ghostly woman singing on Tokio Hotel’s “Geisterfahrer” (German version of “Phantomrider”) is Heather Grey Chase, girlfriend of frontman Bill Kaulitz.

FALSE. The woman singing on “Geisterfahrer” is not Chase, it’s actually German model Jana Pallaske. Pallaske is also the lead singer of her own German rock band, Spitting Off Tall Buildings.

Still not convinced? Kaulitz set the record straight in an interview last week; “…the girl, who sings with me in “Geisterfahrer” is not my girlfriend.” †

Trendsetter Alert: Miss Heather Grey Chase

Lumberjill: Miss Heather Grey Chase caught by our trendsetter-watch crew by surprise Thursday night exiting a dinner date with her twin brother and his wife in The Bronx. The model/singer/trendsetter hasn’t been seen out and about town since late Spring but she hasn’t lost that quirky sense of style or it-girl confidence! Chase re-emerged on the scene and posed for our crew’s “research photos” in her hot ensemble – an oversized men’s navy blue & black plaid lumberjack converted into a darling (if not daring) frock. How she did it?; The trick is to button the lumberjack all the way up, cinch the waist and let it bulge a tad with a big-buckled black leather belt. Throw on a pair of navy blue lace tights with jet black stilettos and you’re set! Can you say thrift-shop trendy?! Added bonus: Chase’s trademark, self-described “Amy Winehouse satire hair”; a loose half bee-hive that tousles down the back in loose waves, paired with thick navy blue eyeliner on a nude face complete the trendsetting cozy family dinner date look.

The Flipsyde of Tokio Hotel

Rumors say Tokio Hotel guitarist, Tom Kaulitz, is dating Flipsyde lead singer, Chantelle Paige. Fans are in a panic; is it a publicity stunt for the bands, like Bill Kaulitz’s rumored flame, or is it the first official Tokio Hotel girlfriend? Looks like Tokio Hotel has another groupie band named Flipsyde.

In the beginning of June; Bild.de reported that while in L.A. working on Tokio Hotel’s new album Tom Kaulitz (19) stepped out with Flipsyde singer, Chantelle Paige (21). Days later Paige fielded interviews for German tabloids, Bild.de and Bravo, on her date with Kaulitz. Cherrytree Records who represent both bands and Tokio Hotel’s manager, David Jost, confirmed reports that the duo had drinks.

Practically before she arrived home, Paige started a non-stop gossip train about her love life in Cherrytree Record’s chatroom, on twitter and in as many interviews as possible. Tokio Hotel fans around the world are now wondering if this is a publicity stunt, thanks to the fact that Chantelle can’t seem to shut her big mouth.

It brings to mind the other syde of Tokio Hotel. Bill Kaulitz (19) is rumored to be dating model-singer, Heather Chase (22). Fans say Chase, an internet celebrity, is also a publicity stunt to deter Bill’s perceived homosexuality. But this is uncertain due to the fact that claims are never confirmed by Kaulitz, Chase or their management and few photos surface, keeping their private lives private.

Lady Gaga a “Tarted Up” Pigeon?

Lady Gaga is an honorary fashion-rocker. The electro-pop singer’s crowd [and sex] appeal is thanks to her signature fashion-statement, which satires designer runway looks. One New York reporter pointed out that Gaga reminds him of a “tarted up” Pigeon; a more risqué-version of fellow electro-pop/indie-rock singer Heather Chase of Pigeon, a New York underground favorite. Chase’s own trademark is a mixture of runway fashions, vintage glamour, and emo-rock glam.

Heather Chase and Lady Gaga [both 22] hail from New York City, where their musical careers took root in the underground clubs. While Gaga is now one of the hottest pop-acts in the world, Chase is picking up speed in the digital world through her work with Tokio Hotel. Gaga, who has been compared to Christina Aguilera in the past, says any comparisons by the media for publicity. Chase says she is honored to be compared to Lady Gaga, as she loves her style and music; Pigeon performs a cover of hit “Poker Face.”

For those of you asking, the original article citing Lady Gaga as a “tarted up pigeon” is by reporter Chris Muther.

Billy’s Future

Today is Tuesday and Pop-Cultured is on-again; obsessively blogging love-pigeons, Bill Kaulitz and Heather Chase’s, off-again romance. The low-down? Billy’s Future doesn’t include trophy girlfriend. (BTW GUYS: This means she is available for that lunch-date and “tennis match” if you get what we’re sayin’.)

“You may have noticed Bill changed his hairstyle.” One TH-lover let slip, “Well, it’s because of her…” That’s right; Bill ditched the lion’s mane do for dreads to piss-off Heather. And as it turns out this is not the only thing Bill did in effort to ditch her.

“He kicked her and her mooching friends out of his apartment!” One fight after another, Bill finally kicked Heather (and friends) out of the apartment. “Bill even demanded that she give back the dog he gave her for Valentine’s Day.” And as the ultimate Bill went into the fashion designing business, without any help from Miss Supermodel!

His fashion line, Billy Future, will launch in Fall 2009, right around the time of TH’s new album. Rumors say the album will be My Hotel, Reset, or Wayward. Our money is on Wayward; Pigeon talked about working on an album called Wayward in January and then it was announced that they were definitely doing violin stuff with TH.

But the more important thing: Do you think Billy-boy is better off with or without Heather?

This has been Pop-Cultured.
