Despite my recent lapse in judgment which resulted in believing the Daily Mail’s bizarre Tara Reid surgery story… and then repeating it… I believe that dignity is completely overrated, so I will now bring you more news that depicts Tara Reid in a bad light. This time I’ve triple-checked it (apparently my former double-checking system was not nearly as foolproof as I’d thought). And most importantly, my number one oath as a writer is to report any and all negative Tara Reid news I may hear. Number two is to eat as much oatmeal as possible, and for similar reasons: they’re both good for the soul. Reid, who has been looking scary-skinny lately – collapsed in a Bali nightclub and was rushed to the hospital.

The ‘American Pie’ actress was enjoying a night out on the island of Bali when she lost her footing and injured herself. A source said: “She was having a couple a drinks and then all of a sudden she lost her footing.”

She was taken to a nearby hospital, where she was treated for cuts and bruises and she is now recovering at her luxurious hotel. The 32-year-old is in Bali promoting a new pajamas range with entrepreneur Peter Alexander. Earlier this month, Tara hosted a ‘Hookers Ball’ in Australia at Darwin’s Discovery nightclub. The club’s hospitality manager Guy Dunne said: “We thought Tara Reid would be a great choice for it. It was a kind of naughty night, like ‘pimps and prostitutes’. Tara was very enthusiastic to come and do it.”

Anyone who’s ever seen Tara Reid utter more than six words knows that she didn’t just “all of a sudden” lose her footing. She was have 38 drinks when she drunkenly fell over, losing her footing. Nineteen types of cocktails will do that to a 57 pound girl. Just when you think she can’t get any cheaper or tackier than hosting the Hooker’s Ball, she hosts the Hooker’s Ball and then stumbles around the greater part of the Southern Hemisphere for two weeks.

I have a big thing about not making fun of people’s bodies… although to be fair, my big thing is really about never calling anyone fat. So at the risk of being a bit unfair, Tara Reid REALLY needs to put on some weight. Since I don’t know the first thing about her, I’m in no position to call her anorexic… but I’m struggling to think of something else that could cause someone to become so gaunt so quickly. Tara has never been big, and has definitely gone through a few waif phases before, but she looks much worse to me here. The only reason I would say she probably isn’t anorexic is that she’s clearly very proud of her body, since she’s constantly flaunting it in unfortunate swimsuits and painfully tight jeans. My understanding of anorexics is that even when they’re gaunt, they normally think they’re still fat and thus hide their bodies. Those camel toe-inducing jeans certainly aren’t hiding anything. Tara, try putting some turkey into your mouth. It’ll let you drink more before you fall over.
