Tara Reid Once Again Loosed Upon The World

Time for "Taradise 2"? (Oh please, please, please.) Tara Reid is fresh outta rehab and reveals it was a trip she took last November that sent her there in the first place.

Reid entered Promises Malibu, the place that fixed Mel Gibson, on December 12 for unspecified issues. In an interview with In Touch, the actress said her trip to Israel was the impetus to go to rehab: After encountering the Western Wall in Jerusalem, she realized "I like alcohol but it didn't like me" and decided to change.

Truly, we'd take a "Taradise" with a slightly healthier spin. Maybe she could ease back into TV with E!'s new project "Hot Girls In Scary Places," in which good-looking women go to haunted houses and freak out attractively. Then again, we'd want some liquid courage to face the paranormal...

Tara Reid's Last Hurrah? (Not Really.)

The ink is barely dry on her voluntary commitment form, and photos have already been released of Tara Reid allegedly out on the town and still drinking. The actress had her "30th birthday party" at Rokbar in Miami, where photos show her playing with sparklers and enjoying a giant cake.

Update: Only problem with this party--which may not have even happened--is that Reid is actually 33. Oh, Tara, we can hardly sort out what's real about your fake self anymore.

Still, Rokbar would've been a decent place for her to go if she'd wanted to party one last time. The club's website mentions it was closed in 2007 for a bit to update its decor: "Very much like the celebrities who partied hard at the venue, in June 2007 Rok Bar 'checked into rehab' in efforts to revitalize." How could they have known?

Reid checked into Promises Malibu, famous for fixing Britney Spears and de-anti-Semitizing Mel Gibson, on Friday.

Tara Reid's Rehab Clinic?

Oh, it's been so long since we were on the rehab beat! After telling People in October that she didn't "need to do any of that anymore," "American Pie" actress and former travel reporter Tara Reid checked into Promises Treatment Center on Friday for an unspecified problem.

Promises is a celeb favorite favored by Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan -- it's also where Mel Gibson retired to after his 2006 accident and anti-Semitic outburst. Not quite the Christmas alternative we're looking for... Get well soon, Tara!

Kelly Rowland, Travel Reporter?

Stars... they're just like us! Kelly Rowland is trying to muscle her way into the travel-media field with a TV pilot. The show, tentatively called "Around the World," hasn't been picked up yet, but will supposedly show the best in hotels, restaurants and shopping around the globe.

Rowland seems like a grounded enough girl not to pull a "Taradise," but she needs a specialty like Tara Reid's. (Getting drunk and falling down in exotic locales is not a specialty.) Since she's a singer, maybe she can do a little ditty at the end of each episode?

Tara Reid Is The Belle Of The Ball Down Under

Oh, Tara Reid. When you've gone at least five months without making an embarrassing appearance at a rap concert or on a beach with a skimpy bikini, maybe hosting an event called Hookers' Ball isn't a shrewd PR move. Reid was paid a reported $1 million to appear in Darwin, Australia at the R-rated event the day after she did some shopping in Sydney--wearing the locals' UGG boots, of course.

"This is a costume party and everyone is out to have fun and be a little bit crazy," Reid said about her appearance at the Hookers' Ball. And if that craziness includes "bondage beds, fantasy, latex, porn stars and erotic dancers"? Well, that just happens sometimes.

Tara Reid Relaxes in Santa Barbara

Tara Reid stepped out at the Bacara Resort & Spa, a celebrity favorite in Santa Barbara, on Saturday. She hit up one of the resort's three main pools to show off her ever-improving frankentummy, which was until recently seriously scary due to some crap liposuction job.

The resort has extensive spa and fitness facilities, but we know you doubt she used them. Yes, the Bacara also has a restaurant, Miro, with a huge, award-winning wine cellar. Much more Tara's speed, and the opportunity to drink in peace is only 95 miles from L.A.

Tara Reid's Caribbean Vacation

Plastic surgery victim and perennial party girl Tara Reid soaked up the sun in celeb-heavy St. Barts over her Christmas holiday. Though we assume she was excited for vacation, we're also not sure if it's really vacation when you party all the time anyway.

Tara showed off her new and improved beach bod, the result of some touch-ups to her previously botched boob job and liposuction. She looked slender as can be in the outfit on the left (that's a Santa hat, by the way), but as you can see on the right, it's hard to fix a frankentummy. Normally we'd have sympathy, but she brought the frankenpooch on herself in a bid for a career boost.

A commenter at Celebrity Warship claims their parents saw Tara on St. Maarten too. Take it with a grain of salt, but the sighting wouldn't be surprising given that the island is a major gateway to St. Barts. No one's saying exactly where she stayed yet, but we'll guess it was the Guanahani. Not that "Posh" is Tara's middle name, but the place has 3 bars.

Tara Reid Frightens LAX Travelers but Not TMZ

We can't decide if we love or hate TMZ, the celebrity gossip site that's really just a forum for creepy paparazzi to upload their videos of celebrities shopping and clubbing.

While we love seeing Tara Reid get denied entrance from the Hollywood club Hyde, we're not sure if we need to see her sans make-up in an airport. Luckily, TMZ has to go there and we only have to make that decision whether we can face Tara so early this morning or not.

On the other hand, we did suffer through an entire season of Taradise.

Tara Alert Level Elevated

By now we all know Taradise won't be coming back for round II because, according to E!, the show was "exhausting to make". What the press release announcing the shows demise mysteriously left out was how exhausting Taradise is to watch--but we will watch on.

This week Tara journeyed to Croatia, with her brother Tommy in tote. We were treated to a pre-airbrush Maxim yacht-based photoshoot, which was kinda like watching one of those "Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Videos" sans hot girls.

Next the Reid family vacation takes us from the Split to the island of Hvar where Tara describes what looks like a giant koy pond:

These fishes are used for a weather forecast.

Finally, we are treated to a Goran Ivanisevic looking "pop singer" Croatian named Petar Graso who vows to "rock Tara".

Alas, even Croatian singing sensation Petar looks to be uncomfortable around Tara as she slithers all over him saying things like "there are no rules in Taradise" and "I think you like being in Taradise."

Though there is a definite language barrier between the two, the language choppiness actually seems to help the two connect.

In the end, a petrified looking Petar stares at the E! camera and says:

She sounds like a female Joe Cocker.

We are guessing that is open to interpretation.

Croatian clubs visited:
·   Club Tribu : Split
·   Carpe Diem : Hvar
·   Banje Beach Club : Dubrovnik
·   Hemingway Bar : Dubrovnik

The End of a Tara

Defamer reports that Taradise is going off the air:

Our spies have told us that E! has cast out Tara Reid and her globetrotting, club-hopping crew from its movable Eden, calling them back stateside (with two episodes unshot, we hear)

So what do we do now?  Wait for Tara to get cast on Surreal Life?

Obviously, we will spend the rest of this week decathecting.

Taradise by the Dashboard Light

Taradise V

Last nights almost unwatchable Taradise began innocently enough, Tara handed out invites to her Taradise Launch party, which was set to take place at VIP Room. The invites pictured an obviously airbrushed Tara beckoning recipients to attend her bash. From there things deteriorated, and fast.

As the show dragged on, it was obvious that E! finally abandoned the formula of sending Tara and her awkward movie producer to "European cultural highlights" book-ended with partying, and instead opted to remove any attempts at cultural interludes.

Shocking, we know.

Turns out, it was really a glimpse into what life would be like as a trust fund kid. People talking for hours about champagne fights (Tara even claimed the St. Tropez champagne fight was the best she had ever seen...how many has she seen?), jumping off 300 ft yachts, dining at a restaurant where models prance around in garments waiting to be purchased (you can buy the clothes not the models), and talking about nothing in an eerily sleepy tone.

The highlight of the show? We are torn between Tara's invitation to have a threesome with Anna Anisimova and her "boy" and when one of Tara's guy "friends" proclaims his love for Tara by letting her know that if he died in St. Tropez he would be the happiest man in the world, cause he would die with Tara.

The point of last nights show appeared to be trying to sneak the E! crew into Les Caves du Roy, something that had not been done in the clubs thirty year history. Thankfully, Tara was able to accomplish this feat, and she celebrates by pole dancing and explaining to viewers what they are seeing:

Basically, inside is a circle with tables, then there is an upstairs, but that is like where the regular people go.

We are going to go throw up now.

Tara Reid is a Gerbil Pig

Taradise IV

If you could say one word about me it's love...I'm in love with love.

So says a sober Tara Reid.

Last night Tara traveled to the Baths of Aphrodite, where she imparted her first bit of true knowledge on viewers.

You see, Hugh Hefner modeled his Playboy mansion grotto after the baths of Aphrodite according to Mz. Reid, and she would know about these things.

We were then treated to the following scenes:

·   Tara searching her brain for the term "Guinea pig" as she riffs about her love for Greek Mythology.

·   Tara figuring out that "eternal beauty" is not located on the corner of Nip and Tuck in LA, but instead achieved only when one swims three laps around an ancient rock off the coast of Cyprus.

The rest of the show was Tara being Tara. Drinking, eating, and clubbing in Ayia Napa. Man she is a monster when she gets in the zone. Ok, ok, she *still* dances like a three legged cat on hot coals, but hey, remember, Jordan didn't win defensive player of the year until he was well into his career.
