Tara Reid is drunk at Cannes, might be dating a 60-year-old jewelry designer

Tara Reid

After Tara Reid showed up at the recent American Pie Reunion premiere not looking like a total trainwreck, I had some hope that perhaps she had stopped boozing it up so much. Oh what a fool am I, for Tara’s been partying her ass off in Cannes. I guess perhaps my first clue should have been that only just last year, Tara enjoyed a quickie faux marriage (and they really never did get married) to businessman Zach Kehayov, who was actually pretty cute in a Billy Zane sort of way and didn’t mind carrying her shopping bags while she flashed her panties all over London. At this point though, I think Tara is all about finding some rich dude who will tolerate her partying lifestyle to (legitimately) marry, and word on the street (which originated from Lainey’s site) is that Tara is now hooking up with jewelry designer Fawaz Gruosi in Cannes, who has allegedly gifted her with many pieces of jewelry. That’s him in the photo above this story, and here are some details:

Actress Tara Reid, best known for her role in the “American Pie” franchise, reportedly has a new, much older beau.

The 36-year-old actress was recently spotted getting cozy with 60-year-old jeweler Fawaz Gruosi.

Gruosi is the founder and president of de Grisogono, and is considered one of the most sought-after watch and jewelry makers of his generation, according to The New York Times.

The two were spotted holding hands and looking intimate aboard a massive yacht at the Lady Joy Boat Party in Cannes. The new couple partied alongside A-list stars such as Eva Longoria, Diddy and Alec Baldwin. And though Reid might be dating a much older man, that didn’t curb her famous penchant for partying; she stumbled out of the party looking rough.

Reid recently returned to the big screen with a small role in American Reunion — her first film to get a wide theatrical release since 2005’s Alone in the Dark.

CB totally thinks this dude looks older than 60 but that this discrepancy might be explained by a lot of booze and sun exposure, which would at least give him a few things in common with Tara. I mean, what else would she have to talk about with a 60-year-old man? It’s also possible that this is a “paid arrangement” and maybe she was just Fawaz’s companion for the evening or something. After all, here are some photos of Tara at Cannes while getting drunk with her friends at another party. She’s such a total mess.

    I don’t know how is it possible, but she still looks younger than Lindsay Lohan.

    • Maguita says:

      Hard drugs vs. Prescription drugs. The latter gets you older and sicker faster.

      • TheOriginalTiffany says:

        Not true. Hard drugs like meth, heroin and massive coke age you way more quickly. Lohan is an abuser of cocaine amongst others. Oh, let’s not forget cigs and alcohol.

        Some of us have legit been on scripts for pain, etc for a gazillion years and it doesn’t affect your looks.
        Ive been seeing them in the ER for many a year, done procedures and for me, meth and heroin win. Ever had a dude tell you the only vein he has left is in his penis? Yeah, didn’t do that scan.
        Long term steroids are the one scripts that will destroy everything.

        Oh, and as for the ‘dating’? C’mon, she’s an escort. Like Tara has so much to offer an old man in the brains and class department while he gives her jewels? Cant we all agree she is a prostitute at this point?

      • Maguita says:

        Meant the Hard drugs vs. Hard drugs mixed with prescription drugs. The latter does the body more damage, using all these uppers and downers together.

        Look at all these actors and rockers who had been on coke, heroine, or soft pot, are still kicking and living! IF they hadn’t overdose that is!

        Prescription drugs do a lot of damage on their own, sorry, it is my belief that we are over-prescribed, and we pay the price by degenerating our bodies more effectively.

        NOT saying that we shouldn’t take prescription drugs WHEN needed. At all. Please understand the difference.

      • TheOriginalTiffany says:

        I do understand since I have several medical degrees.

        You are still wrong. And if you think the peeps you listed don’t also dabble in pharmaceuticals, you are again wrong.

        You are correct in saying we are an over prescribed and,overdosing nation, but most Rx meds don’t make you look bad. I’ve been on many myself, including over 20 years of painkillers and the like. I still look 15 years younger than my age.

      • Maguita says:

        It is quite easy to state over the internet that anyone has medical degrees and what they look like.

        Facts are facts. And those rockers and actors are hard facts. Keith Richards’ secret? One regular Aspirin a day. Lionel Ritchie, cleansing. Mick Jagger, nothing.

        And today’s medical institution has become quite disconnected from its primary vocation of healing, and more into covering your ailments by prescribing instead of dealing head-on with the reason for your health troubles. It has become quite common for us, regular folks with limited benefits, to do our research before accepting the doctor’s prognosis. Seeing how they’d rather push on you the latest “FDA approved miracle.”

      • OriginalTiffany says:

        Actually, my picture was my avatar until we were laughing the other day about horse face Leann. You’ve all seen my face, and I think Ive been around long enough that most people know what I did for a living, just like we do with Mort.
        But hey, if it makes you feel better to be an expert, by all means state your idiotic examples of a FEW people.
        I have seen thousands and thousands of actual real people.
        Spend some time with an alcoholic in DTs with pancreatitis that turn yellow and croak. Or keep believing you know best.

      • Maguita says:

        As opposed to your belittling tirades? Of course, those prescription drugs have nothing to do with your god-like complex, and naturally, allows you to belittle everyone else’s experience and knowledge.

        We’re all professionals here with various degrees and fields of expertise. Yet, you’ve easily proven my point on how arrogance and egotistical drive, have become the desolation of what once used to be a humanitarian profession. Really, so lovely of you to be so open to the commentators’ “idiotic” life-experience, because differing from yours, is flitting. Get back to your studies, and learn the difference between debating, and belittling. Obviously, “many medical degrees” do not buy you good bedside manners.

      • TheOriginalTiffany says:

        You are the one belittling my supposed degrees. You are also the one with intimate knowledge of Keith Richards and mick Jagger’s habits. I’m sure they do nothing on the side.

        You stated in your op that Rx drugs did much worse for your looks than hard drugs. You never combined the two until after my response. I disagree and I am pretty confident based on my professional knowledge of thousands of patients, not my own story.

        I’m out of the pissing match with you, it’s not why I spend my free Internet time.
        I’m sad that a place I used to come and have fun is turning into nastiness lately.

        We thank the lawyers for their insight but should I ever give my professional opinion i get nothing but grief. Your op stated Rx was more damaging to your looks than hard drugs, I disagree and so does faces of meth.
        Good night
        My god like ego is cracking up right now. It’s so big I walked away and became a mom, another reason to be vilified around here. I detest doctors with god complexes, but thanks for the armchair physcology testing.

      • Maguita says:

        “We thank the lawyers for their insight but should I ever give my professional opinion i get nothing but grief.”

        I am obviously not alone to have faced your kind of vitriol, and egotistical pissing on anyone’s opinion not aligned with yours.

        You see, this is the INTERNET: It doesn’t matter what you do in life, what you look like, or how old you are. What matter is not only what you bring to the table, but more importantly, how you bring it. Everyone has access to the same information you could be dishing, but most are a lot more decent and accepting of counter-debate, and would certainly not be calling it idiotic.

        I’ve met with housewives with more knowledge than lawyers, doctors, and physicists, but most importantly, with a lot more human decency than any of those supposed professionals. It is not because you have a PhD that you are of a superior mind or specie, it is because of human decency and the acceptance of diversity.

        And hey, there is a place for everyone, no matter their profession or lack thereof, but if you refuse to take it, while constantly dishing it, than maybe a conversational all-inclusive forum could just not be the place for anyone who ruffles easily at being challenged, and gives insults instead of feedback.

    • phlyfiremama says:

      Oh, snap! You are so correct`

    • John says:

      Not a chance, doubt there is a guy left in Europe that hasn’t ridden this horrible piece of arse. Tara Reid has spread her legs for more guys than Jessica Simpson and Paris Hilton combined. Awful plastic surgery, smoking, drugs, alcohol, and whoring around have prematurely aged Tara Reid.

  2. Maguita says:

    Oh the sad skunkery of it all. And the things she must do to please such a degenerate billionaire.

    I shiver in disgust.

  3. Sara says:

    She could have a had a great career, too bad for her. @ 36 her career is over.

  4. Mirella says:

    Holy hot mess.

  5. Zelda says:

    Can’t a billionaire get, say, a model or something? How do she and Lohan pull this off?

    • normades says:

      Because he could pay to get someone wayyy hotter, but he couldn’t pay someone more famous. Like Lohan’s Johns the “fame” thing is a perverted turn on I guess.

    • dahlianoir says:

      They may know some “tricks” in the bed. That’s the only reason I can think of.

  6. normades says:

    He’s not a “jewelry designer”. Give gold digging Tara more credit than that. He owns de Grisogono which makes some serious bling.

    I think he recently divorced and is going through some late-life crisis. He will gift her with some expensive stuff, bang and get wasted with her but he will never marry this trainwreck.

    • Nanea says:

      The woman who is/was his wife is in Cannes now too, under her name Caroline Gruosi-Scheufele. Wouldn’t she get rid of Gruosi upon divorcing, seeing that her family owns Chopard?

      • normades says:

        Her family owns Chopard??? Holy shizz. I was too lazy/not interested in TReid enough to research it but that is VERY interesting.

        Yeah…Tara’s an escort.

    • Esmom says:

      Never say never…this smacks a little of Anna Nicole and her ancient husband.

  7. Lem says:

    Dude looks WAY older than 60

  8. SirSnarksalot says:

    Wow. That’s a mess of drunk high end hookers. Who is the pimp/madame for these ladies? You know they don’t just stumble around Cannes looking for wealthy old pervs…someone has to set up the meet. Ah, to be a fly on the wall during that transaction!

    • Kola says:

      There was a blind item revealed a few months ago where it claimed a lady/socialite called Diana Jenkins pimps these girls out to rich men and over seas business men. She is apparently a high end madame to the elite. Even though some people claimed it is false, I totally buy it. How else do these girls fiance their lifestyle long after their jobs run dry?

      • Nanea says:

        Don’t start anything!;-)
        DJ is friends with Clooney – whatever friend means in this context.

      • Maguita says:

        HMMMM, what are you talking about?

      • bella says:

        is this true? in GC’s case it makes sense.

      • TheOriginalTiffany says:

        I’ve said it before, all the pieces fit. Totally buy the DJ stuff.
        These girls have no business being with these men on any level other than paid sex. How much cash could she legit be making acting and partying? Not enough for that lifestyle and amount of drugs.
        Let’s not be naive:)

      • skuddles says:

        There’s actually a new blind on CDAN today talking about this very thing – no specific mention of Diana Jenkins but it talks about the yacht/hooker selection process that goes on each year (and Reid is heavily rumored to be one of the girls in question). I have zero problem believing a lot of these washed up actresses end up prostituting themselves in order to maintain their extravagant lifestyles… I assume most are hooked on drugs and booze too and it takes lots of money to finance those frills. Too bad about Reid.. for about 10 seconds there it looked like she was cleaning up her act… guess not.

      • LAK says:

        This is what i was talking about on the Evangelista thread. ie young women with these old decrepit guys for cash. It’s considered a career option. Some are straight out prostitutes, others are escorts, others have achieved the impossible and are very well paid companions.

        I see it every year in Cannes and St Tropez, and it is sick. You see the young, BEAUTIFUL in ways you can’t imagine, girls with very rich, very old, toad like men. The men expect it, and the women think you are stupid to turn down such meal tickets.

      • normades says:

        Had to go check out that CDAN blind.

        1. TR
        2. HP (but who is the famous actor?)
        3. Reality star: ?
        4. Brit reality star/actress: ?
        5. HWood legend: Marilyn????

    • SirSnarksalot says:

      “yacht/hooker selection process”! Love it! It makes sense, the “key parties” of the billionaires…so in essence we are looking at the “showroom floor” in these photos!

      • skuddles says:

        Yeah, just a sick-making situation. Lovely young women putting themselves on display for a bunch of rich pervs – not a whole lot different really than girls peddling their wares on some street corner (well aside from the insane amounts of money of course). Makes me wonder if this is why Lindsay is so eager to go to Europe to find a Dick – perhaps hoping to hop on over to France and get in on some of that Cannes cash?

      • Maguita says:

        Been going on forever. Oldest profession in the world is spot on.

        The difference is, the wealth and extent these services can afford you now in real life. And how they clearly do not need to cover-up, for obviously, they feel untouchable.

        If you’ve through Jenkins’ “catalog”, you’ll understand the political clout covering her ass, as well as her “girls'” asses.

      • skuddles says:

        Hi Maguita, I did have a look at Room 23 a while back (Jenkins book for anyone not familiar) and found it creepy – clearly those girls were tarted up to appeal to various rich dudes’ predilections. It made me sad to see Clooney in there… obviously he’s a buyer and not a seller.

      • Maguita says:

        Hi Skuddles! Love your “those girls were tarted up to appeal to various rich dudesโ€™ predilections”.

        And FYI, GC is a bottom. The hard way. Understand now how a wrestler with very nice long strong legs can fit into the picture?

      • skuddles says:

        Ah I didn’t know that about Clooney, thanks for filling me in Maguita! You’re always a treasure trove of information ๐Ÿ™‚

      • OriginalTiffany says:

        Seemed like Kid Rock and Hopper are buyers as well. I buy the whole thing.
        Again, what is stacy dash doing posed on a bed being spanked in a book full of bigwigs and done by Barclay’s bank guy’s wife with weird past and connections for billionaires.
        High class prostitution, no more, no less.
        Love the info on Clooney.

      • Maguita says:

        You’re welcome Skuddles! ๐Ÿ™‚

  9. marie says:

    all I can think when I look at him is “old, saggy balls”.. gross

  10. Jayna says:

    Well, I would have a lot to talk about and do with and to Liam Neeson. But he is an anomaly.

    • Maguita says:

      I still hyperventilate for that man! He is always neck and neck with Tom Hardy.

  11. Rory says:

    I can’t remember the last time I saw a picture of this broad sober, I really can’t. She said years ago in an interview, “I don’t want to be the drunk girl, I don’t want to be that girl.” So … WTF???

  12. Diana says:

    Let’s not pretend that they’re “dating.” We all know what’s really going on.

    • skuddles says:

      No kidding eh? I wonder if that older women in top pic is rich old dude’s wife? It’s said that Tara is the girl who does it all with a particular rep for threesomes and the like.

  13. Mook123 says:

    Trash.

  14. lost in the barrens says:

    I’m thinking that she is ho-ing or procuring girls for this dude.

  15. nikzilla37 says:

    Holy shit, she looks wasted. Red nose and everything. How is she not overweight with all that boozing?

  16. Agnes says:

    so gross on so many levels.

  17. caitrin says:

    Sorry, but the idea that prescription drugs somehow ages one faster than hard drugs is just ludicrous.Have you ever heard of crystal meth? Ever seen the results of six months to a year of THAT drug use on someone’s face? Or the results of heroin, or coke? There is absolutely NO evidence or proof of what you’ve claimed, much less any study I know of that even tests such a thing. Please, think before you post.

    • TheOriginalTiffany says:

      Thank you…see above. ๐Ÿ™‚

      Oh, I don’t read cdan, but I guess I gotta go look at the Diana Jenkins thing. Too much smoke…

      • LAK says:

        It’s really wierd and disappointing to read all this stuff about Diane jenkins because she’s known as an inspirational success story in the UK.

      • TheOriginalTiffany says:

        True, but there are so many strange coincidences that they just can’t be, you know?

        Power and money allow these people free rein to feed their basest desires, because they can.

        Flawed beings, us humans.

  18. Kim says:

    Shes a high paid escort period.

  19. anon33 says:

    WHY OH WHY is she still doing the trucker hat thing????? Christ.

  20. original kate says:

    she always looks sad…kind of breaks my heart.

  21. Twez says:

    Tara Reid looks like a 60-year-old, especially in that last photo. I thought it was Goldie Hawn for a sec.

  22. Peach Dancer says:

    That old rich dude was some years ago also photographed coming out of a hotel holding hands and kissing with Eva Mendes. He doesn’t seem to have a problem with getting hot young chicks.

    • normades says:

      That’s what tons of $$$ can do. It’s like beer goggles for these ladies.

      • Peach Dancer says:

        You probably need tons of $$$ for shrink services for the rest of your life if you have to get it on with somebody like that guy, yukkkkk!

  23. Suzy (from Ontario, Canada) says:

    crazydaysandnights has a blind item about “yacht girls” in Cannes who are essentially escorts to rich men for money and drugs. Tara Reid is the first name that came to mind when I read the blind:

    Wow, so sad. She appears to be an alcoholic. hope somebody cares enough to talk some sense into her and get her into rehab.
