Tara Reid to Play a Private Eye -- Honestly!
Filed under: Independent, Romance, Casting, Deals, Scripts, Cinematical Indie
Ah, Trainwreck Reid. Um, I mean Tara Reid. The girl had a decent start. Her portrayal of hardcore rocker Cybil was one of the better performances in the terrible Blake Nelson adaptation, Girl. And, while she didn't mean to, her stiff rendition of an orgasm in American Pie provided laughs, even if not the type that was intended. However, no matter what she does these days, she's seen as the crazy party girl who not only got one hell of a botched boob job, but also can't keep her breasts in her dress.Now with the help of Hi Happy Films, her strangely-named production company, Reid is not only executive producing but also starring in the upcoming romantic comedy, Honestly. The script comes from the man responsible for Wesley Snipes' Unstoppable flop of an action film -- Tom Vaughn. So far, not so good ... but it gets better! The movie is about a hard-boiled detective, Monica Hennessey (Reid), who seduces husbands to test their fidelity. Of course, in the vein of films like Failure to Launch, the detective falls for her prey, shocked by his niceness. Her brother, Tommy Reid, is set to helm the feature, and she'll be joined by co-stars Vinnie Jones, Juggernaut from X3, and former football man Eddie George.
Is there any chance this can be even remotely worthwhile?

Give the girl a break!!! If reporters weren't constantly making such a huge deal out of everything stars do, people wouldn't make such judgements on these people. We all make mistakes and do stupid things at some point in our lives. Only difference is we dont have a photographer up our ass to constantly put it out to the public and make it a bigger deal than it actually is.

She's a celebrity! It's part of the package. she knew going in she'd be hounded! Plus EVERY movie she's in is crap! I'm not gonna give someone like that a break, if she doesn't take her "career" seriously.

C'mon, admit that it's fun to make fun of these people. They have more money than they need, more money than they know what to do with, and more money than we do.
Sure the media goes overboard hounding them, but they sure do give the paparazzi enough opportunities to humiliate them.
I may be the only one left who hasn't seen her topless, either before or since her "botched boob job," but I did see Britney's magazine cover and that was more than I needed to see, so I'm not looking for a chance to spy botched bosoms. A man can only take so much.
Ya got to admit she's cute, though, even though we have yet to see her act.

Forget if this will be worthwhile, will this be theatrical? Tara Reid has zero clout right now, and with co-star Vinnie Jones on board, I'm thinking it's going straight-to-video.

This is what the current world expects. No one wants to hear about the good deeds people do, but how much they are able to get away with. Everyone today wants to be wild and free, but they are afraid. So they do it through the lives of their favorite stars...

Inky,
Seems like you might want to run spellcheck before you call someone an idiot (vomit, scene). You're a tool.

I do not feel sorry for celebrities for being under the microscope. It's part of the package and they are paid very well for the inconvenience.
Mistakes? Yes we all make them. A mistake is an unintentional embarrassment that we learn to not repeat. Ms Reid's behavior is not unintentional, nor does she have what it takes to be embarrassed and she doesn't seem to learn to not repeat the behavior. Nothing in her behavior says "mistake" to me.
Saying she has grown up and wants to portray a different image means nothing, she has to show through her actions that this is the case and choosing a role in a "romantic" comedy about a woman falling in love with a married man may not be the way to do it.
