Tara Reid Tells Playboy: 'I'm Not 'Girls Gone Wild' Anymore'

By PopEater Staff Posted Dec 16th 2009 12:01PM

Tara Reid's hard-partying youth is over, and the star tells Playboy that she's now a mature, grounded woman who is out to show people she's not the Hollywood wild child anymore. To accompany those words is, naturally, a nude photo spread to show her newfound confidence. "I'm happy with my life now, and I'd like to keep it this way," Reid tells the magazine.

On Her Hard-Partying Life in the Spotlight: "I've grown up a lot, and it's time for people to see who I am. I lived a lot of years in the public eye. But if you look at me now, that's not who I am anymore ... I'm not 'Girls Gone Wild' anymore."

On Her New Persona: "This is the first time in my life I can say I'm really happy. I'm relaxed. I'm a young woman with confidence ... At the end of the day I go to sleep knowing who I am ... I'm happy with my life now, and I'd like to keep it this way."

On Her Maturity and Posing for Playboy: "I've always seemed younger than I am. I was doing teen movies when I was in my 20s. But at 34 I think I'm the perfect age to do this."

On Her Very Limited Playboy Wardrobe: "I liked what little clothes we did have."
