Ken STILL hearts Tara Reid

Who cares if she lost her show and has no employment prospects? She's still the proud owner of my heart :-).

Here's the scoop from the Internet Movie Database...

"Blonde bombshell Tara Reid is close to breaking point after new TV show Taradise was axed by producers and other offers of work have been withdrawn. The American Pie star is distraught at the decision and has fired her publicist who Reid believes cultivated the drunken party-girl reputation she has been labeled with. In an interview with Chaunce Hayden of America's Steppin' Out magazine she was visibly strained and emotional. Gossip website PageSix.com reports her voice was cracked as she asked the journalist, "How many more years are the media going to pick on me? There's other new young bad girls. Move on to someone else! I'm just fed up. I just want a chance again. I want to show that I am an actress." The struggling star also vigorously denied reports she has a drink problem, which has been blamed for her recent weight increase. She says, "People think I am just a party girl, and it's bull. I wish the media would just tell the truth. I didn't want to look like a total party-girl drug retard. I'm not a drunk... I don't have a drinking problem. I don't have a drug problem, for sure." "


While I think it's probable that Tara needs to slow down on the booze, I completely agree with her about the press. The media can be merciless if you're an easy target and Tara is certainly an easy target for them. They can lob all the insults they want at her and it makes it very easy to forget this girl is a human being. Hath not Tara Reid ears? If you prick her does she not bleed? I've seen the press do this over and over again...find a weak spot and mercilessly attack it. It happened to Britney Speats. It happened to Ashlee Simpson. They turn these people into punchlines and they just laugh it up. Snark has replaced wit and a lot of it has to do with shows like Best Week Ever and The Soup where it's "Line the celebs up like a shooting gallery." Being mean has replaced being funny.

So rest well Tara. You still have me. The more they pick on you, the more Ken hearts Tara Reid.
