Tara Reid hospitalized in France: is the party lifestyle catching up with her?

Tara Reid

Tara Reid has been partying up a storm in St. Tropez for the greater part of this month, and here’s a photo that she posted (a few times and probably drunkenly) to her Twitter page. I often wonder exactly how Tara, who basically has nothing going on in the acting department (although her IMDb profile reveals the ironically titled My Little Trainwreck in development), can afford to take vacations with such frequency. The answer, obviously, is that Tara plays the “paid arrangement” game, which is is how she was able to get drunk at Cannes on the arm of that 60-year-old jewellry designer. Yuck.

Oddly enough, part of me is actually disappointed in Tara even though she’s so known for being drunk that she famously partied so hard her tooth fell out on one occasion. I mean, she cleaned up so well and looked so vibrant at the American Reunion premiere that I couldn’t help but hope she’d turned over a new leaf. But no. Here’s Tara hanging out on Roberto Cavalli’s yacht (and about to receive a very sloppy kiss from a very sloppy random dude) in St. Tropez on 7/15.

And here’s Tara getting cozy with a different guy while hanging out with the chronically stoned Stephen Dorff as well on 7/8:

Well it’s been a few weeks, and Tara’s still partying her ass off in France, and she has now been hospitalized for acute pancreatitis, which — according to WebMD — is quite often caused by heavy alcohol consumption. Are you surprised?

Tara Reid has been hospitalized in Nice, France for Acute Pancreatitis … TMZ has learned.

Sources tell us … Tara has been in the hospital for several days and will remain there awhile longer until she can recover. We’re told her condition is not life threatening.

According to the US National Library of Medicine — Acute Pancreatitis occurs when your body eats away at its pancreas … causing horrible things like vomiting, nausea, diarrhea and fever.

In a photo taken Tuesday (above) Tara was seen walking around holding her stomach and looking worried.

But get this … sources tell us told Tara was partying it up on some yachts in Saint Tropez and hitting up the town’s nightlife in the days before she was hospitalized.

A rep for Tara could not be reached for comment.

That poor rep of Tara’s never knows what’s going on with his client. Remember last year when he confirmed that she’d married Michael Axtmann, but then a few hours later, the world found out that she’d married some other random dude, Zack Kehayov, instead? Tara likely only communicates with her rep through her own drunken texts anyway, so I guess we can’t really blame him for not wanting to talk to the press at this point. As for Tara, if she really did drink herself into the hospital, I hope rehab is on the way. Let’s face it — the girl is long overdue.

    Yep…another cautionary tale. She and Lilo are on the fast track.

    • TheOriginalTiffany says:

      I called pancreatitis for Blohan. Not surprised one of them just got a case. It can be life threatening, I’ve had many patients die. This should serve as a wake up call for her, I hope. Yes, many cases are not caused by alcohol, but I think with Tara we can assume it was, no? Hers was acute, not chronic.
      This is something serious alcoholics wind up dying of. Step away from the bottle for good…but she can’t right? Will she be back on a yacht in a few weeks?

      • jc126 says:

        Personally I’d take that bet, that in Tara’s case her pancreatitis WAS caused by alcohol!
        She always looks so messed up, I’m surprised she is still alive, seriously. I hate saying that, and I certainly am not hoping it happens, of course.

      • Esmom says:

        An old roommate of my husband’s who was a “secret” constant vodka drinker (everyone was on to him), landed in the hospital with pancreatitis, not sure if it was acute or chronic. He was told if he ever takes another drink he will die, so he hasn’t in over 12 years.

        It actually worked as a wake-up call for him, while he ignored other, earlier attempts his friends made to get him to stop drinking.

      • deehunny says:

        It appears the last time she was in rehab was 2009 for 60 days. She needs at least a 3 monther, right?

        For some reason, I feel worse like more talent was squandered with Linnocent.

    • the original bellaluna says:

      brin, OTiff – Mornin! 🙂 Yeah, I think Blohan’s actually on the FASTER of the two tracks, but who knows how much longer she has? Tara seemed to be able to pull herself together (relatively speaking) but maybe she’s just “high functioning” because she’s been at it longer or is better at hiding it than Blohan.

      Because they are BOTH a mess, but Blohan seems the bigger of the two, generally speaking.

      • Boo says:

        Agree with you, Bella. Even days away from a significant hospital stay, Tara looks healthier, cleaner, and more coherent than Lindsay EVER looks.

    • John says:

      Smelly and loose Tara Reid has been dubbed the worst lay ever. She should get an STD checkup.

  2. MK yarwood says:

    Will someone snatch all these women up in a net and lock them up for two years, already?

  3. Eleonor says:

    I am surprised she is still alive, and usually how good she clean herself, she is older than Lilo, but (plastic surgery!) she looks way better.

  4. mayamae says:

    Only roughly 50% of chronic pancreatitis is caused by heavy, prolonged drinking. Another common cause is gall stones. Of course alcohol will exacerbate an existing pancreatitis, so who’s to know?

  5. Gigi says:

    All these “party girls/models” are prostituting themselves in France to rich men. It’s sad, but I guess she wants to maintain the lifestyle. It seems to be catching up to her too.I can never understand how someone can party all the time, as fun as it is, even partying gets old. Doesn’t she have other hobbies?

  6. cupidityrox! says:

    Hope this serves as a wake up call. So sad. She’s a really sweet girl.

  7. lucy2 says:

    Shouldn’t “rep” be changed to “pimp”, because that’s clearly all she seems to be doing these days. It’s so gross.
    “Cautionary tale” was the first thing I thought too, brin.

    When some young girl wants to be an actress, they should sit her down with before and after photos of Lindsay and Tara. That’s better than any just say no campaign.

    • claire says:

      Is that what she’s doing these days? Basically being a paid escort? So, she’s essentially a prostitute, now, yes? Media should just call it for what it is. Sad, I never thought she was a great actress, but maybe she could have been on a comedy sitcom, if she had kept her act together.

  8. some bitch says:

    Tara’s party lifestyle caught up with her in 2005. She’s just been coasting ever since.

  9. I.want.shoes says:

    Who would pay for Tara Reid?! She looks like a washed up, ageing street hooker. Whatever fee she is asking for, I’m sure you could get better.

    • TheOriginalTiffany says:

      Well she IS an aging, washed up boat hooker…

    • skuddles says:

      Rumor has it that Tara is the girl who does it ALL – threeways (etc) are supposedly part of her repertoire…

  10. Launicaangelina says:

    So sad. She was so cute in American Pie and Van Wilder.

  11. Jacq says:

    I have wondered for years how she’s managed to make it this long, she’s always partying in very expensive parts of southern France, dripping in rolexes, designer handbags and jewelry. Paid arrangements must be the name of her game, cause I’m pretty sure that American Pie money ran out a longgggg time ago.
    She does deserve some credit, though, for being that piss drunk and not throwing up at the sight of Cavalli’s face. My lord.

  12. Adrien says:

    Oh man, that’s awful. Pancreatitis usually affects males – even the healthy ones. She must be partying hard. She’s lucky to be alive.

  13. Bitca says:

    My alcoholic brother got his first attack of pancreatitis at 40. He’s been hospitalized for it twice now, but in between, if he has an attack, just gets pain meds from a friend. A girl Tara’s size–who appears to do little but spend her time getting wrecked on booze–well, hard to see any other cause. Acute or chronic, in an attack, the pancreas is in effect eating itself–my brother said the pain was horrific–but it didn’t make him stop drinking. And based on her PR, she is in a similar state. Even if she has caring friends and family, no one can force her to stop.

  14. Sara says:

    At 36 and hardly any work in at least ten years, I am surprised she was able to hold out this long. She looked rough to me in the American Pie Reunion movie. Her lines were minimal to say the least. How does partying not get old for these people?

  15. lassie says:

    She looks like she smells like a wet ashtray and self loathing.

  16. Holden says:

    Its amazing that she’s been able to keep this going by basically sucking d*ck for drugs.

  17. JRenee says:

    Sad but not surprising, she needs rehab stat and she’s been a yacht girl for a few years now, correct?

  18. valleymiss says:

    Josie and the Pussycats is one of my favorite underrated, subversive comedies. Tara was so cute in that. Pre-boob job, pre-drunken lifestyle (I think it came out in 2001). She sure wasted herself on her lifestyle. She could have been a Kate Hudson/Reese Witherspoon romcom queen.

  19. Wren says:

    I’ve had acute pancreatitis (non alcohol related) and it was agonizing. The most intense pain I have ever experienced (& I have given birth to two children), I thought I was going to die. This should be a wake up call for Tara, honestly – I don’t think she would be able to ignore the impact of such dreadful pain.

  20. olivia says:

    she has the irish gay twins called Jedward over in St Tropez to help her stay off the booze. I reckon three days with them and she would want to be sober.
