Tara Reid Gets Back at Haters With Playboy Spread

By PopEater Staff Posted Dec 14th 2009 06:47AM

A botched liposuction and not-so-great breast augmentation have been dogging 'American Pie' star Tara Reid for years. Countless late-night jokes and tabloid scrutiny were commonplace. But several corrective surgeries later, the 34-year-old actress is ready to silence those critics by busting out topless in the January edition of Playboy magazine.

"It just wasn't that good of a surgery, it happens sometimes," Reid told New York's WPIX of the unfortunate surgeries. "It didn't go well, and I got it fixed and now I'm OK and I want people to know I'm OK. I've had it done for the last five or six years, but people only want to show the old pictures. It's so unfair. That's part of the reason why I did Playboy, to show people, 'Right, look at me. This is how I look now.'"

Reid equates her bad surgeries to breaking a limb.

"I mean, it's like breaking your arm. I broke my arm and everyone knew about it, and then I got it fixed. And now my arm looks great! I think no-one really wanted to think I got fixed, or that I'm better, but I am and everything in my life is better now."

She says Playboy's been after her for years to pose, but only now is she comfortable with her body enough to show it off.

"I've been offered it before in the past, but I really didn't feel it was the right time for me" she said. "I was younger, I'm in my 30s now and I just feel that I'm at the best age in my life mentally, physically, spiritually. I feel great and I'm proud of it. You know it's a hugely successful magazine and so many unbelievable stars have done it throughout the year I figured, 'Why not?'"

Tara's hot, and haters can suck the ink off that cover page.

If it's considered fake and not real parts of her, then is it a really nude photo of her? But the way, Tiger Woods will now make a beeline to buy up all the porno mags as it will be a cold winter wit his wife in the bedroom of his house. I guess he'll have to kick the dog out of the doghouse and look at the magazines with a flashlight.

Michael Jackson should have gone to the cosmetic surgeon who did Tara Reid's surgery. If he did, he might still be alive. Maybe they ought to publish a magazine directory of plastic surgeons so celebrities won't be disfigured. Maybe someone should give Tiger Woods the number to the cosmetic surgeon as I heard his wife hit him in the mouth with a golf club(after or before knocking out the back window of his vehicle).

its like the Grinch putting those antlers on the little dog that were too big for him and his back feet lifted off the ground...they're too big for her and gross...you so looked better naturally

By Shannon

I am glad she fixed her botched surgeries, but she is a horrible actress and nothing can fix that. Maybe if she spent more time on acting and less on her appearance she would actually be able to land roles and not just National Lampoons or made for tv lifetime or syfy channel movies. It's a shame because I thought she was going to be big, and she is....a big joke.
