Jennifer Garner and Violet, two and a half, go shopping in Brentwood yesterday. Garner lets us get a glimpse of her shopping list, which includes organic hotdogs, wheat germ, chicken, and chocolate. She’s been wearing a lot of loose tops lately, not that I would jump to any conclusions about that.

Tara Reid still looking super skinny, but healthier outside of Mr. Chow yesterday. She stopped to sign autographs for some fans. According to IMDB, she has two films in the works and one just completed called Vipers. The tagline reads “First Comes The Slither, Then Comes The Slaughter.” It’s a living.

Congratulations are in order for Tara Reid, who got herself a job. The job is in Australia, where I come from, which has so few celebrities even Tara Reid is considered.

Producers have broadened their search for star talent after receiving knock backs from several high-status celebrities, the Daily Telegraph reports.

The production company for Dancing with the Stars, Freehand, is reportedly keen to snare a celebrity star to increase interest in the show since taking over producing rights from Granada.

C-list actor Reid — who pocketed $3500 when she turned up to parties after hosting a “Hooker’s Ball” in Darwin last year — has reportedly been asked by Freehand to star on the eighth series of the show.

Potty-mouthed chef Gordon Ramsay and US fashionista Carson Kressley have both rejected similar such offers.

Kressley’s Sydney agent Max Markson confirmed he had been approached twice by the show’s producers.

Unfortunately, Dancing with the Stars is a few years old now. It’s in its eighth season, and I suspect that Tara Reid isn’t going to be a big enough draw to bring the ratings up. I also love the fact that she’s not even the networks first choice, coming behind Gordon Ramsay and Carson Kressley. The network is obviously confused – Gordon and Carson have jobs, you need to find a celebrity who is currently unemployed. If Tara turns you down, give Lindsay Lohan a try.

Last year Tara had a great holiday in Australia while appearing at the Hooker’s Ball, where there was speculation she had been paid as little as $3,500 to attend, dressed as a prostitute. The event also infamously had the word ‘American’ spelt incorrectly on the posters advertising Tara’s appearance.

Tara Reid is shown at the Race to Erase MS Gala on 5/2/08 and outside Foxtail Restaurant on 4/10/08, thanks to WENN.

Tara Reid is the queen of bad publicity. Not in terms of volume, but in terms of the percentage of overall publicity. Sure Paris, Britney, and Lindsay get more. But once in a blue moon you also hear something about their careers. I don’t even remember what the hell Tara Reid does besides drink and flash her augmented boobs at photographers. Tara’s also gotten freakishly thin lately. While most websites have been saying she must be anorexic, I think she’s probably just cheap. The thinner she is, the quicker she gets drunk. And since that’s the only thing Tara Reid ever does, it’s must be the most important thing in her life, thus she’s pretty committed to the cause. Tara’s gotten all defensive about her behavior, and decided to bitch and moan to OK magazine about it.

“I’m not too thin,” Tara, 32, insists in an exclusive interview and photo shoot in the new issue of OK!. “I go up 10 pounds, I go down 10 pounds.”

Tara also points out that, no matter what shape she’s in, she can’t seem to please anyone. “I was thin for a movie that I just finished [the upcoming horror film Vipers]. Now they’re going to see me and say I’m too fat because I’ve gained 10 pounds… I can’t win!”

As for the constant criticism of her alleged party-girl lifestyle, Tara asks, “What have I ever really done? Dance on a table? Who doesn’t drink with their friends and have a good time? I don’t understand why people punish others for being happy. If I have a drink in my hand, it doesn’t make me an alcoholic. If I want a glass of wine, I want a glass of wine. I shouldn’t be afraid of it because of what the media might say. Anything you do, you’re screwed. That’s the lesson I’ve learned.”

[From OK magazine]

I love the whole “What have I ever really done?” The answer should be “Nothing BUT dance on a table.” Maybe if you’d ever done anything else noteworthy, people wouldn’t be so likely to comment on the fact that the only thing you do is get drunk and make a fool of yourself. Tara clearly has body issues. At last count, she’d had 283,484 different cosmetic surgeries. The first half made everything worse, and the second half was to correct all the problems from the first half. Thus she pretty much ended up looking the way she started… just a little more freakshow. Something tells me looking particularly gaunt isn’t going to help things.

Despite my recent lapse in judgment which resulted in believing the Daily Mail’s bizarre Tara Reid surgery story… and then repeating it… I believe that dignity is completely overrated, so I will now bring you more news that depicts Tara Reid in a bad light. This time I’ve triple-checked it (apparently my former double-checking system was not nearly as foolproof as I’d thought). And most importantly, my number one oath as a writer is to report any and all negative Tara Reid news I may hear. Number two is to eat as much oatmeal as possible, and for similar reasons: they’re both good for the soul. Reid, who has been looking scary-skinny lately – collapsed in a Bali nightclub and was rushed to the hospital.

The ‘American Pie’ actress was enjoying a night out on the island of Bali when she lost her footing and injured herself. A source said: “She was having a couple a drinks and then all of a sudden she lost her footing.”

She was taken to a nearby hospital, where she was treated for cuts and bruises and she is now recovering at her luxurious hotel. The 32-year-old is in Bali promoting a new pajamas range with entrepreneur Peter Alexander. Earlier this month, Tara hosted a ‘Hookers Ball’ in Australia at Darwin’s Discovery nightclub. The club’s hospitality manager Guy Dunne said: “We thought Tara Reid would be a great choice for it. It was a kind of naughty night, like ‘pimps and prostitutes’. Tara was very enthusiastic to come and do it.”

[From Monsters & Critics]

Anyone who’s ever seen Tara Reid utter more than six words knows that she didn’t just “all of a sudden” lose her footing. She was have 38 drinks when she drunkenly fell over, losing her footing. Nineteen types of cocktails will do that to a 57 pound girl. Just when you think she can’t get any cheaper or tackier than hosting the Hooker’s Ball, she hosts the Hooker’s Ball and then stumbles around the greater part of the Southern Hemisphere for two weeks.

I have a big thing about not making fun of people’s bodies… although to be fair, my big thing is really about never calling anyone fat. So at the risk of being a bit unfair, Tara Reid REALLY needs to put on some weight. Since I don’t know the first thing about her, I’m in no position to call her anorexic… but I’m struggling to think of something else that could cause someone to become so gaunt so quickly. Tara has never been big, and has definitely gone through a few waif phases before, but she looks much worse to me here. The only reason I would say she probably isn’t anorexic is that she’s clearly very proud of her body, since she’s constantly flaunting it in unfortunate swimsuits and painfully tight jeans. My understanding of anorexics is that even when they’re gaunt, they normally think they’re still fat and thus hide their bodies. Those camel toe-inducing jeans certainly aren’t hiding anything. Tara, try putting some turkey into your mouth. It’ll let you drink more before you fall over.

Tara Reid has really done a number to her body. Over the last several years we’ve seen her in all states of disarray – from the breast job that left her so numb that when her boob fell out of her dress at an event and she didn’t notice - to her oddly trim-yet-ripply stomach. Tara never had the sense to hide her malformations - and let’s be honest, that’s what they were. I’m really big on being accepting of different bodies and not criticizing on here, but Tara’s body issues weren’t the result of genetics or nature, they were the result of what I can only assume were crazy scalpel-wielding drunks. No way board-certified doctors did that to her. I’m kidding, I know they did. Which is a scary thought. Tara eventually came out and admitted she’d had some very bad plastic surgery, and was doing what she could to correct it. She was honest enough about it – and how self-conscious it made her feel – that I actually did feel pretty badly for her. She got her boobs corrected and the stomach ripply things fixed about a year ago. But recent pictures of Tara reveal that she just couldn’t leave well enough alone. Though I’m unclear on what additional surgery she’s had done, it’s necessitated he placement of five bolts into her lower abdomen. They’re creepier than Michael Jackson’s fake nose tip.

Tara Reid once admitted to having liposuction in the hope of getting a perfectly toned torso, but the unfortunate results were on show for all to see after she stripped down to her bikini while on holiday in Australia. The American Pie star has a large scar around her entire waist and five screw-like pins bolted into her body. She has been also been left with a rippled and sagging stomach after the procedure.

Tara revealed last year: “I got lipo because even though I was skinny, I wanted – I’m not going to lie – a six-pack. I had body contouring, but it all went wrong. My stomach became the most ripply, bulgy thing.”

Tara’s breast enlargement in 2004 also had less than pleasing results, and she underwent reconstructive surgery last year. She said: “I figured, I’m in Hollywood, I’m getting older, I’m going to fix them. First of all, I asked for big Bs, and [the doctor] did not give me big Bs. He gave me Cs, and I didn’t want them. At all. Right after the surgery, I had some bumps along the edges of my nipples, but the doctor said, ‘Don’t worry, it’s going to be better.’ But after six months of ‘it’s going to get better,’ it started to get worse and worse.”

“Guys I was dating would be like, ‘What’s wrong with them? They look really bad. You know, you should really get them fixed.’ So embarrassing. I mean, you definitely need to turn off the lights, that’s for sure.”

[From the Daily Mail]

Tara has mentioned the thing about guys telling her to get her boobs fixed before, and it did make me feel really badly for her. What woman can’t relate to being self-conscious about her body? And I really don’t like Tara, so if I felt badly… well her boobs were really crazy looking. But the problem is that she did get those things corrected, and then started all over again. I’m pretty sure the bolts are new – Tara has never had the sense to hide her crazy body mishaps with a one-piece like the rest of us would. I would say “Go you, accept and love your body!” but clearly it’s not about that. A normal person would feel pretty damn self-conscious about having five bolts a few inches below your navel.

I’ve skewered the Daily Mail a few times recently for the way they’ve been on the attack towards celebrities’ bodies, but frankly they’re spot-on here. It almost seems like they’ve held back. We can’t publish the photos here, but you can click this link to view them. The bolts are super creepy. A few other websites have noted that it seems like Tara has tried to dress them up or pull them off as jewelry, though that’s clearly not the case. I’d love to hear what our readers think might have gone wrong that led to the bolts. Few celebs besides Frankenstein can rock that look.

Note by Celebitchy: Those pictures are credited to X17, and it’s possible they’re Photoshopped, because who has bolts in their stomach like that? That’s got to be fake, right?

Tara Reid is shown at the Sydney Airport before her gig hosting the hooker’s ball on 12/1/07, thanks to Splash News.

Update by JayBird: Thanks to all the commentors who pointed out that those “bolt” things are body jewelry on a clear string. The Daily Mail has removed all mentions of it in their article. I think it was deceptive because they’re wedged so tightly into her skin, and the clear(ish) string they’re on could look like a faded scar. And in all fairness, I really, really wanted them to be bolts, because it would have been the weirdest thing ever. Frankenstein rocked that look and people are still talking.

Plastic surgery victim and fallen former Hollywood hottie Tara Reid is just 31, but somehow she managed to mess up her liver enough to require an extended hospital stay. Tara checked into a hospital in Marina del Rey, California in early October to undergo extensive tests for possible “liver and pancreas damage.”

Doctors found that she had elevated liver enzymes, which can be caused by alcohol abuse.

Tara was said to be combative and uncooperative, yelling at hospital staff. She was accompanied at all times by a “minder” and she had three quit on her while she was in the hospital. She also supposedly bragged that she knew Paris Hilton and Whitney Beers.

People who saw her in the hospital said she looked predictably awful:

“Tara was yelling at nurses and doctors, telling them they couldn’t tell her what to do,” disclosed the source.

“People at the hospital thought she was a homeless person. Her hands were dirty, and her hair was matted.”

An eyewitness - who ran into Tara as she emerged from her room a few days after her arrival - revealed she was “emaciated” and added: “Her face was dotted with red spotched. She was attached to an intravenous drip on wheels, and a nurse and an older woman held her up as she shuffled slowly down the corridor…”

“She had round-the-clock ’sitters,’ who watched her every move. Even when she went outside to have a smoke - which she did frequently - a sitter went with her.

“One minute she was calm, the next she was raning.”

Three sitters quit on her.

In one of her quiet moments, Tara proudly told someone at the hospital: “I know Paris Hilton and Britney Spears” - and then displayed their cell phone numbers to prove it.

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, October 29, 2007]

Tara was treated for the elevated liver enzymes and released. The high levels of enzymes she had in tests can be a sign of a damaged or diseased liver.

While OK! Magazine reports that Tara denies being hospitalized, the only quote they have from her is “I’m fine,” which sounds like she isn’t denying anything.

If she was angry like that it could have been a symptom of alcohol withdrawl, and not just simple diva-like behavior. Irritability, “rapid emotional changes,” and “emotional volatility” are among the symptoms of alcohol withdrawl, according to About.com.

If it’s true that’s incredibly sad and I hope that Tara gets the help she needs to turn her health and life around. She seemed to be doing better earlier this year, and hopefully she will be able to stop drinking before it’s too late.

Tara was seen out on 10/18/07 at the Reservation Road premiere, which was after she supposedly checked out of the hospital. She looks relatively sober so maybe she’s on the right path now. Thanks to PRPhotos for these pictures.

Tara Reid is a prime example of why young women should not get unnecessary cosmetic surgery. I’m all for facelifts, my mom had one and the results are good and not obvious. In 20 years I’ll surely get one too. (Hopefully there were be some high tech laser-type option at that point.) Sometimes nose jobs are well executed and are not that noticeable. I’m sure there are examples of decent liposuction, I would say Beyonce and Mariah are probably sporting good lipo results, but when liposuction goes bad like this it’s all too apparent.

The sad thing is that Tara has a great body and actually had work done last fall to fix the botched lipo, but she’s still sporting some lumpiness in her stomach, and her breasts look super fake. She sold the story of her bad plastic surgery results to US Weekly, and then had some follow-up work done to fix it. At least she was upfront about it.

There’s something really sweet about Tara. Last year a video came out of her getting denied at Hyde while scumbag Joe Francis strutted by. Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian were also waved in that night. Tara waited patiently and said “I’m so last week.” Unlike Paris and Nicole Richie, Tara has never been busted for DUI, although there are plenty of stories and photos that suggest she was driving drunk. It’s also rather ironic that both Joe Francis and Paris Hilton spent time in jail. Sometimes it’s best to stay out of the Hollywood clubs.

I want Tara to succeed but am afraid she’ll never get past the blonde bimbo role that she’s grown out of. She is still getting work, though. Tara will soon promote an Australian dating service called Desperate and Dateless. They throw large parties throughout eastern Australia, and Tara will travel around attending the Desperate and Dateless balls for several weeks next Spring.

Tara Reid was seen frolicking on the beach with friends in Malibu yesterday, pausing to cuddle her little dog and nearly popping out of her swimsuit while playing catch with a football.

Thanks to WENN for these pictures.

All that plastic surgery to repair her former plastic surgery seems to have done wonders for Tara Reid. Her hair and makeup look gorgeous. She must be laying off the sauce too, because she looks quite sober and clear-eyed at the AFI Festival showing of “The Fountain” in LA on Saturday.

Maybe her next movie will actually play in a theatre somewhere. Pictures [via]

Tara Reid has admitted that she hired a cheap hack who made her look like a Frankenbarbie, ruining her movie career, sending her into a drunken depression, and forcing her to steal swag in order to survive. She said she sold her story to US Weekly in order to pay to get some stuff fixed, and hopes that her next direct-to-DVD horror film helps her afford the mortgage on her condo:

That’s great of poor Tara to come clean and all, and maybe she can make friends with pregnant Tori Spelling now that they’re both selling their sad tales to US to run as cover stories during slow news weeks.

We haven’t seen any pictures of Tara lately apart from the pitiful scene where she got shut out of Hyde and waited patiently, making self-depricating comments. Either she’s so “last week” that she doesn’t warrant the space on the paparrazi’s digital memory cards, or she’s staying out of trouble by not hitting the celebrity hot spots while she’s recovering from surgery.

She looks really cleaned up the cover of US Weekly, and maybe she’ll settle into a comfortable sober lifestyle of relative obscurity, but I doubt it.

You may have seen this yesterday on TMZ, but I usually don’t view videos from their site because they launch a pop-up window, take a while to load, and have loud commercials before them. Here’s the YouTube version. Poor Tara Reid waits outside of Hyde nightclub while Paris and Kim Kardashian come bouncing by and are waved right in. Girls Gone Wild creator Joe Francis comes out and give her a hug and a kiss while she’s waiting at the front of the line with a dejected look on her face. She supposedly said “I’m so yesterday,” but I didn’t hear it with all the background noise. She’s also said to be drunk, but I vote for just a little tipsy. She was probably saving the rest of her liver for the remainder of the night.

Unfortunately there’s no coverage of her being let into the club, but I hope for poor Tara’s sake it was just cut out for dramatic reasons.
