A Tara Reid-Welcoming Promises Attempts to Assert Its Integrity
Not long after we reported on Tara Reid getting free rehab at Promises, a rep for the rehab facility contacted us, took us into a quiet, seaside-adjacent massage room, and began a healing confrontation.

Promises Malibu Now Admitting D-Listers For Free With Proof Of Notoriety
Though our wintry economic climate provides plenty of reasons to drink, it also leaves us with little money to spend on lavish, unhelpful rehab facilities. How bad have things gotten? Just look at Promises!

Taradise Lost: Is Celebrity Hedonism Over?
When disco people did that weird basketball referee "traveling" motion dance and licked their cocaine-stained gums while a sparkly disco ball twirled overhead, they probably felt like the party would never stop. But stop it did, in grinding and ugly fashion, when the hedonistic days of Studio 54 ran headfirst into a very un-far-out recession in the early 1980's. Some twenty-five years later, we find ourselves in a similar situation. The early aughts saw the rise of the Tara Reid and Lindsay Lohan mentality, one that celebrated and encouraged hard, rusty-jointed partying (and simulatneously loved to condemn it). Sure there was a war on and the world seemed to be ending, but when one thing ends another begins, and these folks wanted to hurl themselves, underpantsless crotches first, into the big new whatever. And now... well, now we're staring down the barrel of a serious recession, Crazy Britney is dead, and Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens, a Rooney and Garland for the iGeneration, are puttin' on a show to the glittery tune of trillions of dollars. Like the dirty bliss era of disco before it, is this new party era being killed by a recession? We think so!

Molls Breaks It Down For Tara Reid, Queen Of Denial
So Molly isn't quite convinced by Tara Reid's recent claims that the weak economy and Hollywood labor disputes were responsible for the career drought that forced her to take gigs as a shot girl Down Under. (She recently said, "I totally plan to go back into acting once the strike stops. The economy is so bad right now that people are afraid to put money back into acting. Even the shows that seem new, they really shot six months ago. So when it's all back up again, I will go back into it. That's my heart.") Honestly, though, we're not entirely convinced this girl doesn't have one Rourkeian comeback in her. We're pulling for you, Tara! More »

Whitney From 'The Hills' Gets Spinoff, New Fake Boyfriend
MTV's worst-kept rumor has finally been confirmed: eternally OMG-faced Whitney Port (seemingly the most normal member of The Hills) has gotten her own NYC spinoff show, The City. According to Us, "Port, now a Diane Von Furstenberg employee, reunites with 'a best friend from her past' and meets 'a guy she's head-over-heels for.'" Translation: MTV provides Port with brand-new, camera-ready pals (including NYC socialite Olivia Palermo) and a carefully focus-grouped boyfriend! Paparazzi snaps of Port filming have strongly suggested that the teased love interest is Aussie musician Jay Lyon, who already has one ignoble celebrity relationship on his resume: More »

Can Tara Reid Just Walk Into Hyde For Her Reality Show Cameras Without Having To Be Humiliated By An Asian Paparazzo? Thanks.
While most of her employment opportunities of late have come from Down Under in the capacity of a celebrity shot-girl for hire (do they swirl down your throat in the opposite direction, we wonder?), Tara Reid has apparently also been keeping busy on our own shores, gearing up for an exciting new reality show. (We see no mention of it on her IMDb page, so we'll assume the first season of Tarafied: Celebrity Foreclosure is a staight-to-web venture.) In the above TMZ segment, one of the scripted verité sequences requires the frequently botched actress to enter formerly fashionable Hollywood social establishment Hyde. One of TMZ's stanchion-shackled documentarians then helpfully offered some improvised crowd noise—which leads, for some reason, to the frustrated crew repeatedly pointing out his Asian heritage: first disparagingly, then, as a means of bridging the paparazzo/Z-list-entourage divide. Oh, let's just let TMZ's Great and Powerful Harv explain it. Roll it, Harv! More »

Celebrity Taxpayers Alec Baldwin, Tara Reid Among Dozens Rocked by Alleged IRS Breach
If you've ever wondered how far below the poverty line Tara Reid is living these days or what kind of child support Alec Baldwin doles out to Kim Basinger, there is a guy in Cincinnati named John Snyder who is living your dream right now. Illegally, of course, and maybe under threat of prison time, but still: Snyder, an IRS tax examiner, is accused of viewing the confidential records of 197 celebrities over the last five years, including Kevin Bacon, Sally Field, Vanna White, John Cleese, Portia De Rossi, Randy Quaid and even "the late Eddie Albert of the classic sitcom Green Acres."

The Esquire Map To Jennifer Love Hewitt's Dating History
Jennifer Love Hewitt, whose womanly allure has been well chronicled, is no slouch in the dating department. She's been linked to hotties near and far, including talk show hosts Craig Ferguson [Yum. -Ed.], and Carson Daly, teen heartthrobs Joey Lawrence and Wilmer Valderrama, rising stars Patrick Wilson and Kip Pardue, singers John Mayer and LFO's Rich Cronin, and last, but certainly not least, Ross McCall (her now-fiance). So it's no surprise that Jennifer was asked to contribute to Esquire's regular recurring feature "Ten Things You Don't Know About Women," in which well-known ladies offer up advice on how to deal with the fairer sex. Looking at Jennifer's column, we wondered: Which one of the men mentioned above inspired her advice or earned her ire? Our guesses, after the jump. [Jezebel]

As we noted last week, the holiday season is a happy time for actress-turned-party-host Tara Reid, who's willing to crisscross the globe, clad in Santa hat and matching furry Grey Goose bottle-holsters, to bring 80-proof cheer to Yuletide revelers on every continent. Sadly, Page Six cites a report claiming that promoters have been lowballing Reid on her asking price, allegedly refusing to meet her previous personal appearance fee. Maybe once prospective employers see how successfully she kept the good times rolling at her recent Hooker's Ball gig, she'll be able to push her quote back into the five figures. [CelebWarship] -

Tara Reid's Body-Shot-Pouring Services Still In Demand Down Under
Even though Tara Reid's once-promising acting career has stalled of late (sadly, her critically embraced turn as a brainy anthropologist in Alone in the Dark was so long ago that she's starting to slide off every low-budget casting director's short list for busty-genius roles), her savvy decision to fully exploit her world-famous Taradise brand keeps her working, especially during the end-of-year party season, when her mistress-of-tequila-soaked-ceremonies services are in heavy demand.

Tara Reid Sundanced
We imagine that you're a little sick of the wall-to-wall Oscar nominations coverage right about now (if we had our way, they'd have an entire primetime ceremony, complete with red carpet and marathon coverage by multiple crews from celebrity-fellating basic cable channels for the noms announcements, but then again, we're a little sick), so in the interest of giving you a brief respite from awards chatter, we direct you to this video of Tara Reid being dance-humped by a couple of eager partners at a Sundance club. While it doesn't quite live up to the expectations established by TMZ's breathless exhortation YOU GOTTA SEE THIS, it's nonetheless nice to spend some time with an actress with absolutely no chance at peer-recognition on this Oscar-oversaturated day.

Tara Reid's New Year's Drinkin' Eve
How bad have things gotten for Tara Reid? Apparently, so bad that she'll have to travel all the way to a Marriott in Chicago to get someone to pay her a modest appearance fee in exchange for downing tequila shots, dancing on top of a bar, and occasionally shouting a slurred "Woooo!" on New Year's Eve, activities which a basic cable channel once paid her to perform at drinking establishments all over the world. We can't bear to see Reid in such a desperate state, so party promoters of Los Angeles, we beg of you: Please make her an offer to let her stay in town for the biggest (amateur) drinking night of the year; we're sure the Chicago people haven't sold too many of those $135 and $165 tickets yet, and would be compassionate enough to release her from her commitment if a less embarrassing offer came along.

ABCNews.com To Be Commended For Its Comprehensive Disaster Relief Coverage
Upon closer inspection, we came to realize the red banner alerting us to "BREAKING NEWS" was in fact referencing a wildfire in Palm Springs, not any recent emergency efforts to undo the damage wrought by an unnatural disaster of dissimilar proportions, Tara Reid's self-described (and described...and described...) "plastic surgery nightmare." And while we couldn't be happier for the—actress? Is it?—that recent surgical improvements to her mangled torso have given her the confidence she needed to spring back into life, we'd also caution her that by having played her last card of possible media interest so loudly and so often, she may have painted herself into the kind of unfortunate career corner that could very well find her taking regular road trips to Tijuana to re-botch her no-longer-funbags, all in a misguided effort to land back on The View.

Hollywood PrivacyWatch Special Edition: Revisiting Tara Reid's Wedding Crasher Fiasco
It's hardly surprising that Tara Reid sought the tender, inhibition-neutralizing embrace of alcohol following the botched everything-job that left her lopsided and with a new set of ridges. But in noting Radar's report of her recent, blitzed antics at a formal wedding in Santa Barbara—apparently things started out badly when the pre-reception cocktail hour failed to provide the cherry Jell-O shots she loves so much, with things tailspinning from there—we were left with a lingering sense of déjà booze. Then it hit us: A recent PrivacyWatch spotting of Reid at the Santa Barbara Four Seasons had detailed at least one part of her coastal meltdown already. By way of offering the most exhaustively complete version of the shitfaced events as possible, we bring to you an encore performance of the reader submission we refer to as "Tara Reid Plastered On Mimosas Desperately Wanting To Be Noticed in the Lobby of The Santa Barbara Four Seasons."

According to various, badly sourced online reports, onetime nightlife ubiquity and former globe-trotting serial inebriationist Tara Reid has finally decided that her oft-discussed, surgically overenhanced breasts were distracting from her acting talent, and recently underwent a reduction to restore the public's focus on her mastery of craft.

Finally accepting that her personal brand can realize far greater value in the nightlife space than in the acting realm, Tara Reid has started exploring entrepreneurial activities exploiting that fact, transforming herself into a mobile nightclub.

Tara Reid's 30th Bday Bash: A Very Special Saturday Night
Our invitation must've been lost in the mail, but thanks to the generosity of our readers, we now know the not-so-secret location of Tara Reid's wrap party for her 20s. Given the guest of honor's legendary contributions to the alcoholic arts, the event's planners were forced to tap the deepest recesses of their creative faculties to come up with new twists on the typical Hollywood say-goodbye-to-your-earning-years bacchanalia. Their proudest creation is a custom-built, Swarovski crystal-encrusted dunk tank designed to hold over 500 gallons of top-shelf vodka. Once all the guests have arrived, Reid will take her place inside the tank, and parytgoers will hurl dodgeballs at a stop sign-sized target, plunging the giggling birthday girl into the 80 proof spirits below over and over again. After a few dunk-cycles, limes may be added for taste. More » -

Tara Turns 30
On any other day but the very special occasion of Tara Reid's 30th birthday, "You've come a long way, baby!" might come across as a trite sentiment. But after all we've been through together over the past months, as we grew unhealthily involved in Reid's globetrotting Taradise adventures (Nooo! Don't drink the entire bottle of grappa while waterskiing! Don't do it!), that well-worn phrase evokes both her public, personal evolution from party girl to party goddess and the physical distance traveled in search of the perfect open bar.
