Tara Reid has revealed the secret to successfully juggling a Hollywood career and a wild party lifestyle - don't be too stupid. Tara said:
I think the reason I never ended up in as much trouble as Paris or Lindsay seem to is that I’m not stupid, so I’d never do a lot of the things those girls do, and I’ve always had good friends around me. They need to straighten up a little bit and make better investments. And they should surround themselves with better people who don’t let them get themselves in trouble. You’ll never read a story about me going out and partying when I’m supposed to be working. Nor would I show up on a set drunk or miss a day’s work never.
"You'll never read a story about me going out and partying when I'm supposed to be working." Gosh Tara, I'm blown away by your work ethic. Really - you're a shining example to all of us. Of course, it helps that you never actually work, and therefore never have to worry about your drinking getting in the way - but we know what you mean. If you did ever have a job, you wouldn't allow your partying to interfere with it. You were raising a hypothetical. A wild, out-of-leftfield hypothetical.
