Tara Reid
suffered from a brief bout of anorexia nervosa following
her upsetting and traumatic breakup with MTV DJ Carson
Daly (they had been engaged). This coincided with the
filming of American Pie 2 (2001), which is why Ms. Reid
appeared gaunt in several scenes (primarily those that
were reshoots), as well as at the premiere of the film.
Her illness ended in late 2001, when she began filming
National Lampoon's Van Wilder (2002).
Her brother
Patrick runs a clothing store "Patrick Reid"
located in Santa Monica, California. Tara serves as
fashion consultant.
Personal quotes
"I can make a scene that's not supposed to be sexy,
very sexy. It's a power you're born with. It's not a
physical thing, it comes from inside. It's all in the
eyes."
"If
Carson was an actor, he'd understand why I have to be
away on sets and that if I have to kiss another guy
in a movie, I do it. He'd read the tabloids that I was
with Ashton Kutcher, but that was a bunch of bull. Then,
I started reading he was with a stripper, and that wasn't
true. You start tripping on each other for no reason.
It makes you crazy. - about part of why she and ex-fiance
MTV VJ Carson Daly split up "
"At
the end of a movie, all my outfits are missing. They
even call: 'Tara, those were $700 shoes.' What are they
going to do, search my house?"
"I can
make a scene that's not supposed to be sexy, very sexy.
It's a power you're born with. It's not a physical thing,
it comes from inside. It's all in the eyes."
"I don't
like the typical good-looking guy. I know this sounds
ridiculous, but I like guys with love handles. When
he doesn't care 100 percent about his body, I don't
have to obsess about mine. I hate a washboard stomach-does
not turn me on."
"I hate
being tickled. Sure, it makes me laugh, but when I get
tickled, I get pissed off. I'm like a monkey when I
get tickled - woo-hoo!"
"I just
started making Bloody Marys. I always thought they looked
gross, then I tasted one. There's an art to it, from
the Tabasco to the Worcestershire."
"I know
this sounds ridiculous, but I like guys with love handles.
I hate a washboard stomach - that does not turn me on."
"I like
when a guy makes me feel like a woman and a little girl
at the same time."
"I'm
more of a jeans and T-shirt kind of girl."
"I'm
not perfect, I do drink. I do smoke. Carson [Carson
Daly] can't go out and get messed up, he can't smoke
in front of kids - he's the face of MTV, and he has
to be good. But me? I can."
"Slasher
movies are fun. You watch yourself get chopped to pieces,
yet you're still alive. You see the blood on the ax
and think, Holy **it, this is sick, but you kind of
get over your fear of death."
