HOLLYWOOD - Tara Reid is shocked at the number of Los Angeles revelers who want to exploither "drunk" party-girl image--just so they can feed off her fame.
The American Pie actress is eager to abolish her wild reputation in the
media, and has discovered other party-goers fuel the rumors she is constantly
downing alcohol merely to get their names in the press.
Reid says, "Look, I don't care what anybody does. But it seems at this point,
I'm the one who gets the shaft.
"I can't look at a glass of anything when I'm out, forget about picking it
up. I see the headline 'Tara Reid drunk!'
"I was at party, and I accidentally spilled something on a woman standing
next to me. She laughed and said, 'Oh, good, I'm going to call a column and
tell them Tara Reid spilled a drink on me.'
"She was serious. I said, 'Please don't. They'll say I was drunk.' And she
said, 'But it'll be funny. And I'll get my name in the papers.' 'No you won't,
you'll just be a nameless source. This will hurt me, can't you understand?'
"Well, she didn't, and went away to make her call."
