Tara Reid doesn’t sit still for long, if ever. If you’ll recall, she shocked us all in August by supposedly getting engaged and married in the same day to some poor Danish businessman, but then it turned out that she’d married another random guy, a Bulgarian financier named Zack Kehayov. After tweeting some boozed-up Greece honeymoon photos, Tara immediately entered the Celebrity Big Brother house before being the third housemate to be booted from the show. To celebrate her ejection, she flashed her panties while out on the town with her husband and then started talking about popping out babies. True love, right?
Alas, the marriage only lasted two months before Tara and Zack separated, and then she drunkenly revealed that the union was never legal anyway. However, if you happened to be feeling sorry for Tara, well, don’t waste your time. She’s already bounced back with a couple of new dudes. First, she was snapped leaving Madeos restaurant in Los Angeles on 12/12 with this mystery bachelor:
This guy looks um .. not sober. Are those chest hair plugs? Gross. I want Zack back instead! He seemed like a nice enough fellow. Granted, I’ve never heard him speak, but Zack carried Tara’s shopping bags, which is just about a perfect man as far as she’s concerned.
It seems that Tara wasn’t much for the first bloke either, for she was then spotted leaving Hyde nightclub on 12/14 with another mystery dude. Or maybe he’s just running away from her because Bachelor #2 doesn’t look thrilled to see the paps coming. Oh Tara.
They said it wouldn’t last — and it didn’t. Tara Reid’s two-month marriage to the relatively (very?) handsome Zack Kehayov is over. In fact, Tara states that it was never a real marriage anyway. To quickly recap, Tara surprised us all (and her rep) in mid-August by announcing her marriage via Twitter, and that poor Danish businessman, Michael Lillelund, got fingered as the husband. Then Tara clarified that she had married some other random guy, who we now know as another businessman named Zack Kehayov. Tara really gets around in “business class,” doesn’t she?
Anyway, Tara got hitched in Greece and, just a few days later, went onto Celebrity Big Brother, where she was the third housemate booted from the flat. In the aftermath, she consoled herself by flashing her panties while out on the town with Zack, who appeared to be very patient (and oddly sober) while holding her shopping bags. Tara was so in love that she declared a desire to soon start popping out babies. Well, don’t worry about that, because Tara and Zack are now over. As in, they were never legally married in the first place, and now we’re all left to wonder what could have possibly gone wrong. Did Tara figure out that her ring was fake? Did Zack suddenly realize that he was essentially married to a bottle of booze with bad silicone implants? Whatever the case, they never bothered to legalize their union in the United States, so they are now free to pursue other endeavors. Or so says Tara while sounding extremely sloshed in this TMZ video:
That wedding Tara Reid just couldn’t shut up about — she should’ve shut up about … because she now admits the marriage was never legal.
Tara seemed totally out of it at LAX when a TMZ camera guy asked if she and her husband could win the Newlywed Game.
While not quite, “In the butt, Bob” — Tara’s slurred response was still pretty awesome … as she confessed she was “never really married.”
You might recall, Tara and Zack Kehayov (above) had a surprise wedding in the Greek Isles in August … which she tweeted about endlessly. Tara says she and Zack never made it a legal union here in the U.S.A.
Man, Tara looks and sounds awful in that video, and it looks like the hairstyling talents of the Jedward twins were all for naught. She really doesn’t seem embarrassed though, right? Tara will bounce back in no time; in fact, she’s already preparing herself for an acting comeback with the impending American Reunion movie. Unfortunately, she’s the lowest paid member of the returning cast. While Jason Biggs has scored $5 million (which will buy many more hookers), Alyson Hannigan got $3 million, and the rest of the ensemble secured between $500,000 and $750,000, Tara signed on for about $250,000. Basically, the producers knew that she’d sign no matter what.
The good news, if there is any, is that Michael Lillelund might have a second chance at hitting that.
This is one of those stories that’s not exactly brand new but worth mentioning all the same for the laugh factor. After being evicted from the “Celebrity Big Brother” house, Tara Reid has evidently found herself at loose ends as a happily married woman of leisure (after getting hitched to her random husband), who has largely spent most of her time being photographed outside the Mayfair hotel in London doing various classy things like flashing her panties and smoking up a storm. Since she’s made it this far (a couple of months) without getting divorced, Tara’s ready for the next stage of her relationship — becoming a mother — which makes total sense because, you know, that’s the first thing one thinks of when checking out pictures of Tara Reid:
Hollywood star Tara Reid revealed how she wants to start a family with new husband Zach Kehayov.
The couple married two weeks before the American Pie actress entered the Celebrity Big Brother house after a whirlwind romance. In an exclusive interview with the Sunday Express, 35-year-old Tara, the third housemate to be evicted, said she now wants to settle down and have children once they have found the perfect home.
She said that she is even considering following a host of other US stars and moving to Britain.
Tara, looking happy and refreshed after her time on the reality show, said: “We definitely want to start a family but we have to figure out where we want to live first.
“Fortunately Zach is lucky enough that he has a job in finance so can go anywhere in the world because he has offices everywhere. So if we wanted to move to London then we could but we still have all that to figure out.
“I love the UK. I have had some of the best times of my life here. I go to the best restaurants and clubs, I go shopping and have a great time.”
She said that the memories of her dream wedding to Zach last month on the Greek island of Santorini had helped her through difficult times [in the Celebrity Big Brother house].
The horror, the horror. Kaiser (who thinks that Tara must have been high when she said this) and I both believe this is pretty hilarious, but I think Tara is completely serious in her assertions. After all, she’s already been swimming in the Greek sea of delusion, so there’s no reason why she wouldn’t imagine herself as a great mother. And hey, she might not be so bad at it. Any baby of Tara’s will be exposed to a wealth of culture (i.e., shopping, eating at restaurants, clubbing) and also learn the value of a hefty work ethic (i.e., holding mommy’s cigarettes) at a very early age. That’s gotta be worth, uh, something, right?
At any rate, Tara and Zack really do seem enamored of each other. The poor guy looks like he thinks he hit the jackpot with landing Tara Reid. He also appears rather normal and sober too. I just don’t get it.
Don’t ever say that miracles can’t happen, mates. Tara Reid and her random husband, Zachary Kehayov, are steadily approaching their one-month wedding anniversary and still look to be thick as thieves together. Of course, Tara spent most of this past month holed up in the “Celebrity Big Brother” house in London, which is a hell of a way to spend one’s honeymoon no matter how you look at it. Tara and Zack have since reunited since she became the third person to be evicted from the house, and they looked quite pleased to be out together in Mayfair last evening. During her time in the house, Tara reportedly confessed feeling somewhat rootless (unlike her hair) with her new husband, so there might be some trouble on the near horizon:
Tara Reid and her new husband Zack Kehayov have still not decided where they will set up home following their whirlwind wedding earlier this month (Aug11).
The American Pie star married Kehayov on 13 August (11) during a vacation on the Greek island of Santorini after dating him for just two months.
She has since entered Britain’s Celebrity Big Brother show, and has admitted to her fellow contestants in the reality TV house she hasn’t thought through her new living arrangements with her businessman partner.
Reid says, “I get nervous, I guess. Because when we’re together I’m like, ‘Where are we living, what are we doing?’ It’s kind of scary.”
Maybe they’ll have little to no problem setting up house soon, and I actually do hope that Zack and Tara make it as a married couple. After all, he’s an attractive fellow, and Kaiser has been marvelling upon his amazingly “sober” appearance. A strange match for Tara, indeed. Maybe Zack can keep Tara on the straight and narrow, so to speak; or at the very least, maybe he can encourage Tara to keep her teeth glued in place. At the moment however, she’s still dressing like Tara Reid. Last night, she chose an ill-fitting cocktail dress that did nothing for her figure:
And naturally, Tara was so wasted that she flashed her underwear at the camera while getting into the car after dinner:
I’d apologize for the censorship in the following photo, but really, you should be thanking me. Poor Tara doesn’t groom so well “down there”:
Despite this obvious lack of a bikini wax, Tara and Zack are now free to move onto the next chapter of their lives together, whatever that means. For posterity’s sake, here are a few videos of her short time in the “Celebrity Big Brother” house. During the following “intro” video to Tara’s character, she states, “I’ve definitely had highs and lows, but at more of a high I’d say right now. I’m fun!” Oh, girl.
Inside the house, Tara bonded with John and Edward Grimes, a.k.a., “Jedward,” the Irish identical twin brother pseudo-singing sensations. Together, the trio embarked upon the daily task of straightening Tara’s hair:
Here’s a clip of Day 3, which features Tara perched on the lap of British actor Lucien Laviscount, who is rumored to be gay, so I doubt that Zack needs to worry about his lovely wife straying just yet. Tara appears to be completely wasted during part of this video (or maybe she was just confused about how to make tea?), but she made it clear during her exit interview that she wasn’t happy to be portrayed in such a manner. Still, the cameras don’t lie, right? If Tara was acting like a hot, wasted mess, then that’s what shall be reflected on television. No amount of reality-television editing can make up what isn’t there in the first place.
For Tara Reid, this week has been a very exciting one indeed. First, she stunned us all by getting engaged and married in the same day. Initially, Tara kept the lucky man’s identity so shrouded in secrecy (and booze) that even her rep didn’t know who she married; as a result, some poor Danish businessman got fingered as the groom. Eventually however, Tara revealed her ridiculously fake-looking ring and the identity of her actual random husband, Zack Kehayov. And then Life & Style published the above photo (which featured a very bad judgment call on Tara’s behalf to bare her wonky stomach) of the blissful couple in all of their random, drunken happiness.
Anyway, Tara has squeezed in this honeymoon business before she (inevitably) has to head off towards the “Celebrity Big Brother” set. As such, she’s been busily tweeting photos of her honeymoon in Santorini, Greece. While musing over these wee snapshots, Kaiser mentioned that Zack is kind of cute while CB and I both agree that he reminds us of someone but can’t quite place who it would be. Oh, I know! He looks like a very liquored-up version of the Old Spice guy (Isaiah Mustafa). Maybe. Seriously though, Tara looks really happy in these photos, but that could just be from all of the excellent Ouzo in which she’s been partaking. Of course, Tara’s not missing any teeth in these photos, so she can’t be that drunk, right? Or maybe she just brought her glue.
Here, Tara is wearing a shirt with the “Greece” emblazoned upon it. How touristy!
This one I like to call, “Tara on her cell phone. Firing her rep.”
Here, stained concrete next to the rose petals adds just the right touch.
Santorini really is a gorgeous island; and luckily, Tara did not fall into the ocean.
Consider this. Let’s say that, in an extended moment of weakness, you dated Tara Reid for about four months and broke up with her. Since then, you’ve undoubtedly been quite sheepish about this fact and, consequently, have been laying quite low; in fact, you haven’t seen Tara since February of this year, and it’s been a very nice vacation of sorts. Then, you wake up one day and realize that Tara has gotten married (no big deal in and of itself), but unfortunately, you have been named as the husband. Egads. What’s worse is that even her rep has confirmed this “fact” to People, which almost always gets things right, so the story has been replicated through countless news outlets. So now you have been forced to deny marrying Tara in a Danish newspaper. How embarrassing.
“If she were married, it is not with me. It is 110% secure. I have not had contact with her since February,” said Michael Lillelund for Star Lounge.
Poor Michael Lillelund. Meanwhile, it’s hard to believe that Tara’s rep would confirm her marriage without even having a clue as to who Tara’s been dating lately, which leads one to believe that the rep might be as much of a hot mess as her client. To complicate matters, Tara’s initial declarations of her married state (on her Twitter page) were entirely vague and did not name the husband; a few hours ago, she bothered to name the guy as “Zack Kehayov.” The Daily Mail has now scrounged up some pictures of Tara and Zack, which we don’t have access to, but let’s just say that Tara’s “real” husband is definitely a step down from Lillelund.
Meanwhile, Tara has tweeted a photo of her ridiculous looking ring. Honestly, this thing looks faker than Bella Swan’s engagement/wedding ring.
Now let us celebrate (once again) Tara’s nuptuals with some lovely photos of herself drunkenly celebrating on other occasions. Oh, and she’s due to start shooting “Celebrity Big Brother” in just a few days too. Good luck to Tara. She’s gonna need it.
UPDATE by Kaiser: Life & Style got the first photo of the happy (random) couple:
The chronically drunk Tara Reid, who famously fell off the wagon at some point last summer, famously partied so hard that her tooth fell out, and recently freaked out at a Walgreens, has (temporarily, at least) settled down mended her ways. That is, Tara got engaged and married in the very same day. Of course, she’s been engaged twice before — once Reid also pledged to be married to Carson Daly until they split in 2001 and did so once again (briefly) in early 2010 to Michael Axtmann, an internet entrepreneur — but this time, Tara made sure to not let the dude get away. In fact, she really didn’t waste any time at all, according to People:
Tara Reid is having a vacation to remember.
The American Pie actress married Danish businessman Michael Lilleund in Greece on Saturday, her rep, Jack Ketsoyan, confirms to PEOPLE.
Reid, 35, Tweeted feverishly Saturday, and announced the happy news herself in a series of short messages. “Just got married in greece I love being a wife,” she Tweeted Saturday evening.
And it wasn’t a long engagement: only hours earlier she wrote on Twitter: “I just got engaged!”
The actress, who recently wrapped filming American Reunion, met Lilleund in November in Saint-Tropez.
Reid was previously engaged to Internet entrepreneur Michael Axtmann, but called it off in 2010.
Well, congratulations to both Tara and Michael, and I honestly hope for nothing else in this situation other than an enduring love and everlasting marriage. Furthermore, I do hope that this life transition also results in no more Playboy shoots for Reid and, as always, I hope that all of her teeth stay in place without the aid of Crazy Glue. Also, I do hope that her newfound husband encourages her at some point to eat a few pizzas. Those legs are far too skinny to be healthy.

The last time we heard about Tara Reid, she was busily gluing her tooth back into her mouth after she partied to hard that it fell out. Now, the havoc has spread past the bar scene because — wait for it — someone has actually hired Tara for a new movie. Wait, does it count if the role merely spawns from the latest American Pie flick? Of course it doesn’t, but don’t try to tell that to the unfortunate citizens of Atlanta, who have been forced to contend with the drunken mess and poster child for bad, ill-advised liposuction. It seems that, while on break (in Atlanta, Georgia) from shooting American Reunion, Tara went cruising at the nearest Walgreens and decided to, um, “borrow” a cart.
Kooky Tara Reid has a bizarre way of making new friends in Atlanta while shooting the latest American Pie movie. The disheveled-looking actress stopped two strangers in a Walgreens parking lot over the weekend, a source said, to ask where the “nearest Mexican restaurant was. She was wearing torn jeans and a pink hoodie, despite the 90-degree heat. She was pushing a shopping cart with her dog in it.” While Reid’s parking-lot pals gave her directions, a Walgreens manager emerged and ordered Reid to return her cart. “She whined, ‘I’m just borrowing it,’ ” our amused spy said. But Atlanta, it seems, isn’t Hollywood. “Ma’am, please, we don’t have that many,” said the clerk, whom Reid argued with before ditching the cart, grabbing the dog, and storming off. Reid’s pooch, Pasha, has been a regular character in her tweets from the American Reunion set, including, “. . . another dog charlie tried to hump my puppy pasha she was not happy.” Reid’s rep didn’t return calls.
Okay, so the most shocking part of this report isn’t that Tara Reid has found some temporary, straight-to-DVD employment but, rather, that Tara still pays a publicist to dodge inquiries concerning her bizarre public behavior. Then again, why even bother to shell out cash to anyone when the public image wasn’t worth salvaging in the first place? I feel for the citizens of Atlanta and can only hope that their collective misfortune is soon put to a merciful rest.
Also, nice push-up bra, Tara.

In the past year, a few stories have indicated that Tara Reid has fallen off the sobriety wagon in a very spectacular way despite a 2009 rehab stint that was supposed to put her back on track to a career “comeback.” While I don’t think that Tara’s presumptive sobriety was ever a ruse like, say, Linnocent’s continued vodka-in-a-Red-Bull-can antics, Tara obviously enjoys partying far too much to give up drinking for any extended measure of time. Indeed, she’s a party girl for life:
It seems nothing — and we mean nothing — can ruin a good time for party girl extraordinaire Tara Reid. According to an eyewitness at the Oasis Beach Club in India, Alkif., on April 14, Tara, 35, was having a ball when one of her front teeth popped out. Instead of calling it a night, “Tara got on her hands and knees and searched the floor,” says the witness, “and when she found it, she pulled out some glue, glued it back in and just continued partying!”
Ugh, that’s really gross, even though it was probably a cap that popped out of her mouth instead of an actual tooth. Did she bother to wash it off before gluing it back into place? Probably not, but it’s probably safe to say that, in the grand scheme of things, gluing an unwashed cap back into her mouth is probably one of her less-risky behaviors, healthwise. It’s rather sad that Tara is 35 years old and still bouncing off the walls, (figuratively) hanging from chandeliers, and showing her panties and nips like there’s no tomorrow. Maybe she’s depressed that she stars only in direct-to-DVD movies now, but she’s not exactly doing anything that would make anyone take her more seriously than “that girl from American Pie.” Party on, Tara.
I read a few days ago that Tara Reid said that a Big Lebowski sequel was coming out and that she was attached. (She had a minor role in the original 1998 movie.) I told my husband about it as he’s a huge fan of The Dude, and he was happy to hear that it was in the works. Alas, the film’s creators, the infamous Coen brothers, said they don’t have any plans to make a sequel but they’ll “Watch it when it comes out. Especially if Tara’s in it.” It’s enough to make you feel sorry for Tara, whose rep tried to explain that she heard Jeff Bridges say another Lebowski film was coming – only Bridges never said that.
In the mid-to-late-90′s, Tara Reid made her name playing dumb blondes. If she has any complaints about type casting, this may not help.
Speaking at a Comedy Club benefit show, Reid gave an interviewer some updates about her career, including one very curious coming attraction:
“I have a movie coming out called ‘The Fields,’” she said. “I have another one coming out that I produced with my brother, called ‘The Irishman.’ And we’ll be doing ‘American Pie 4′ this year and ‘Big Lebowski 2′ this year.”
‘Lebowski’ writers and directors Joel and Ethan Coen sometimes work in mysterious ways, but there had never been any mention about definitely doing a follow up to their 1998 cult hit with Jeff Bridges, even as they promoted their new, Oscar-nominated film with The Dude himself, ‘True Grit.’ So what did they have to say when they heard Tara’s news?
“I’m glad she’s working on it,” Ethan laughed in an interview with Austin360.com. But do he and his brother have plans to work on it? “Well, we don’t but we’ll watch it when it comes out,” he said. Joel added, “Especially if Tara’s in it.”
For her part, Reid’s reps wrote to Entertainment Weekly, saying, “She heard Jeff Bridges say that he wanted to make ‘Big Lebowski 2′ and have all the original cast members in it, so she may have misspoke, thinking that included her based on what Jeff said.”
Perhaps she was referring to a July interview in which Bridges said that he and the Coens had spoken about it, but nothing was planned.
American Pie 4. I thought that franchise died with that American Wedding threequel in 2003, but I guess that was wishful thinking. (There’s also the even worse Band Camp spinoffs, with fourdirect-to-DVD movies with a new cast.) Given Tara’s record of thinking every successful film she had a bit part in is coming back, she could be incorrect. Sadly, IMDB does have a listing for this trainwreck, due out in 2012 and also starring Alyson Hannigan (she can do better!) and Chris Owen, that evil-looking kid who was in the other American Pie movies. Jason Biggs isn’t listed on IMDB for the film, which surprises me because it’s not like he’s doing anything else. Wikipedia has him starring in it, though.
The next time Tara has to inflate her project schedule she should just come up with random movies no one has heard about. It must have been a tough few years for her. IMDB has no credits for her in 2008 or 2009 and the last film she did was something in 2008 called Vipers. Check out the DVD cover.
Here’s Tara out at Paris Fashion week with her boyfriend, Michael Lillelund, on 1/26/11 and at a Golden Globe viewing party on 1/17/11. She was invited to fashion week? Also, does her boyfriend look straight to you? Maybe he’s just very pretty. Credit: WENN and Fame Pictures
