Blonde and busty she may be.
But Tara Reid ain't stoo-pid, you hear?
And that, good people, is the reason Ms Reid says she hasn't landed in hot water like Lindsay Lohan or Paris Hilton.
Chatting to FHM, Tara reckons: "They (the press) make everybody into little puppets, saying you're Miss Piggy or Kermit with a funny voice, but it's up to you to change your individuality.
"I had fun, but in America it's bad to have fun and you get punished for it, whereas in Europe and other places they rejoice in having fun.
"I've never been arrested. I wonder if some people start thinking, 'We made this girl out to be bad just for having a good time.'
"I don't think I should ever be punished for being happy. When I'm not working why shouldn't I have fun? Am I supposed to stay at home and live in a cage?"
No, never Tara.
She went on to say: "I like to have fun and have people around me. I think the reason I never ended up in as much trouble as Paris or Lindsay is that I'm not stupid, so I'd never do a lot of the things those girls do."
Well, hear, hear, and rock on, and wild on ya, Tara.
