Tara Reid has launched another salvo in her valiant campaign to rehabilitate her table-dancing, wild child image, with her latest PR efforts focusing on her heretofore-unknown high IQ.
"I am a very smart girl, and people don't realize that," the bare breast-brandishing starlet declares to the New York Post, which snarkily titles its article, "Look How Smart I Am!" "People think I am America's party girl, which is just stupid. I have done 24 movies and I am creating my own TV show."
"I think people are going to believe me in that character and see I am capable of diversity," she says of the role, which requires her to stretch her acting chops by donning nerdy glasses and wearing her hair in a tight bun.
As for the future, Tara, 29, hopes to one day settle down, perhaps with a gold, bald guy named Oscar. "It would be the ultimate dream for me to win an Academy Award, be in love and have kids," she says wistfully (come on, knock off the giggles). "Then I would say, 'Life is great! I have done everything I wanted.' I keep trying to get closer to that. I also think when that happens, people will finally leave me alone."
