Tara Reid (born November 8, 1975) is an American actress. She is known for her roles in the films "American Pie" (1999), "American Pie 2" (2001), "National Lampoon's Van Wilder" (2002), "The Big Lebowski" (1998), and "My Boss's Daughter" (2003).
Carson Daly made a cameo appearance in Josie and the Pussycats, in which Reid played the Pussycat Melody. The two began a romantic relationship shortly thereafter. In June 2001, Reid and Daly broke off their engagement. She previously had dated Russian hockey star, Sergei Fedorov. In the late 1990s she dated actor Steve Burton and still is close to him and his family. She briefly dated New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, New York Giants tight end Jeremy Shockey,, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Kyle Boller and tennis player Mark Philippoussis.
On the night of November 4, 2004, Reid was embarrassed by a wardrobe malfunction at a highly-publicized photo shoot at Puff Daddy's 35th birthday party at Cipriani's Restaurant in New York City, when her dress fell, exposing her left breast. Photos of Reid having larger, perkier breasts than before had been circulating the Internet for several months before the incident, igniting rumors of Reid having undergone a breast augmentation. Scar tissue was visible around Reid's nipple, confirming rumors of breast implants. The photographs were widely distributed. In August 2005, she publicly admitted getting breast augmentation surgery. In October 2006, she admitted in an interview with Us Weekly that she also had liposuction. In the interview she also discusses how her plastic surgery "went wrong," and also explains why she decided to have plastic surgery done, saying that her breasts were uneven and that she had saggy skin. In the same Us Weekly interview, Reid's new plastic surgeon, Dr. Steven Svehlak, reported that he performed a procedure called a doughnut mastopexy to correct her original breast augmentation.
On New Year's Eve 2006, at a large celebration in Chicago, Tara made several numerical errors in hosting the minute-long countdown for the year. A video of the incident circled the Internet. Wikipedia |
