We never thought we'd say this, but we're starting to feel pity for Tara Reid. Apparently feeling guilty for getting tricked over and over again by the NY Post, her publicist is marching her in front of any journalist willing to listen about how very hard she's trying to change her party-girl image.

Reid says she studied hard for her "Alone" role, going to museums, scanning the internet and learning technical words she says reminded her of spelling bees on TV. She also twisted her ankle on the set running from a fake explosion.
