Tara Reid Announces Role in 'Big Lebowski 2,' Much to Coen Brothers' Surprise

By Sarah Crow Posted Feb 4th 2011 04:20PM

Tara Reid's career is hitting new highs, starring in two upcoming movies, in addition to adding a producer credit to her resume.

The surprising part of her story isn't her phoenix-like rise from the ashes of her career, but the reprisal of one of her greatest roles to date.

According to E! Online, the actress said of her busy year, "I have a movie coming out called 'The Fields.' I have another one coming out that I produced with my brother called 'The Irishman,' and we'll be doing 'American Pie 4' this year and 'Big Lebowski 2' this year."

However, the reprisal of her famous role as Bunny Lebowski comes as a surprise not only to fans, but to the Coen brothers, who wrote, directed and produced the original, and have no plans for a sequel.

Reid's rep told Entertainment Weekly of the actress's gaffe, "She heard Jeff Bridges say that he wanted to make 'Big Lebowski 2' and have all the original cast members in it, so she may have misspoke, thinking that included her based on what Jeff said."

The Coen brothers aren't quite so concerned about Reid's confusion, however. "I'm glad she's working on it," Ethan Coen told reporters. "We'll watch it when it comes out."

Watch Reid as Bunny Lebowski in the original film. (Warning: explicit language)

Dear Tara,
Don't know if you remember me or not you came to the Purple House in Dallas to see me when you were filming "Dr.T and his Women". Hope you are doing well and enjoying your life as a hollywood star.
I like your roll in the "Big Lebowski", this could be a great boost for you and lead to even greater parts in the future.
Blessings,

tara lives in a fantasy land where what she does still matters to someone other than her pet hamster...giving head for a thousand bucks is about all she's good for, but it would have to be the world's greatest hummer, and for that she's gonna need help from kim kardashian and aisha tyler

Ewwww no! She's a gross, narcissistic, untalented, anorexic loser. So many better choices out there than this dried up sack of wasted life. I think I'd contract gonorrhea if I looked at her for more than two minutes.
