Tara Reid Cleans Up

Take that, Joe Francis.  Tara Reid is back and better than ever.  The actress and frequent train wreck unveiled a new look recently that shows off a hot bod and ability to appear in public without flashing people.  A much needed improvement, if you ask us.

For the last few months, starting with her embarrassing US Weekly cosmetic surgery confession in October, Tara has slowly been rebuilding her image.  In recent appearances, Tara has managed to keep her chest under wraps and herself upright. 

While we enjoyed the disaster that was the E! travel show Taradise, we’re proud of the American Pie actress for cutting back on her public displays of drunkenness.  We say cutting back, rather than cutting out, because we still haven’t forgotten the videotape of Tara’s New Year’s Eve party in which the blonde starlet couldn’t manage the countdown at midnight.  Or the recent rap concert volleyball game in which Tara was the ball.

But, the troubled actress has managed to look polished at all the awards shows and after parties lately.  She was even snapped sunning herself in a red bikini earlier this week – proving that her plastic surgery nightmares are behind her.

We don’t doubt that Tara’s still seething over Girls Gone Wild creator Joe Francis’s over-sharing of their sex life on the Howard Stern show.  Apparently Tara has figured out that looking good is the best revenge.
