View Full Version : Tara Reid - "I'm a smart girl"... ?

Compliments of MSN.com...
"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."
Reid's demand for her intelligence to be publicly recognized comes ahead of the release of the video game-inspired horror flick "Alone in the Dark," in which she plays a genius scientist (hey, quit laughing) opposite Christian Slater.
"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."
As you try to wrap your brains around how, exactly, an Oscar will help Reid achieve a life free from scrutiny, we should probably point out that her public relations makeover might be more successful if she just stayed home with a good book every now and then.
People magazine reports she was recently spied at the Manhattan hotspot Butter "walking a bit unsteadily." She reportedly piled into a booth with some pals and, when not snuggling up to an unnamed dark-haired man (she was most recently linked to hockey star Sergei Fedorov), had her companions in stitches every time she "dropped some food -- or her head -- onto the table."
:D

I was left shaking my head when I read that earlier. Who comes out and says their smart in an effort to prove their smart. You know, that's not very smart. I think that's enough mentions of the word smart right there.

RE:
Well said.
That interview would make much more sense if she were like... 15. But she is 29 and comes off as a naive, stupid and ignorant 15 year old girl.
Don't forget drunk and drug addled.

Well, we do know she's smart at one thing...
... contradicting herself to the point of where it's too stupid to laugh.

She'd find success a lot sooner if she'd stop looking through her Jack Daniels glasses while searching for it.
Oh, and Tara, I'll go see Alone in the Dark on my way back from picking up Ashlee Simpson's cd, cuz, you know, she's super smart and talented just like you. :rolleyes:

I have to give credit to another schmoe who posted it. I did an image search for it on Google to locate it again. I do love it, though.

wouldn't you think she would be SMART enough to know that the post was just going to joke on her?

You guys are all the 'stupid' ones for thinking she's not SMART!
It's all a ploy, you see. She gives the impression that she's stupid talking about how smart she is in the most stupid way possible, therefore throwing all the readers off with the idea that she really IS stupid...
But in actuality, she's going to rule the world within the next ten years. We'll all be shocked and awed by her legendary mental capacities, while she laughs upon her Throne of Power, saying that her stupid behavior was all a facade (pronouncing it 'fuh-kawd').

Oh, THAT movie cliché. Put a good-looking girl in a pair of glasses and slick her hair back, and hey presto, she's turning your stomach. Because that's really going to work :rolleyes:. I think I'm just bitter, as a glasses-wearer...
The Mack summed it up best - if she were that smart, she wouldn't feel the need to shout it from the mountaintops. "Look over here, I'm smart, I'm smart!"
The woman rose to fame in a film about a boy who fornicated with baked goods. She's never going to take home a shiny bald bloke.

Hey guys, don't pick on Tara Reid. She probably has plenty of time to think and theorize about the world when she's leaning over the toilet with her hair pulled back.
You're just jealous because you're not the genius she is!;)

Or so she thinks when the film that really launched her into superstardom was the Academy Award winning classic Van Wilder.

If she was smart enough, she would realize that there is no way in hell she will ever be able to get away from her slutty past. Just because she plays a "scientist" in a crappy movie doesn't mean that people suddenly are going to think that she's an articulate woman.

Why is women always go for shot below the belt. Is it that some women wish they had one?(no offence intended)
About Mensa: Do you really think those people are smart? What major inventions or theories have any of the members ever created?
"In 1895 Einstein failed an examination that would have allowed him to study for a diploma as an electrical engineer at the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule in Zurich"
-then later-
"Three of Einstein's fellow students, including Grossmann, were appointed assistants at ETH in Zurich but clearly Einstein had not impressed enough and still in 1901 he was writing round universities in the hope of obtaining a job, but without success."
Four years later "Einstein's second 1905 paper proposed what is today called the special theory of relativity"
Success is relative to the time it is received. In hence Einstein was way ahead of his time
Although this has nothing to do with Reid or Bush. I just wanted to point out how intelligence rarely comes out of college, usually it's just a decent job

Ok, I'll bite. I'll play Devil's advocate.

"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.
When I read this, I honestly thought it was kind of sweet. She's an actress, and the highest honor is to win the Oscar. She is just dreaming guys, of being the best she can. If she works hard at this, who knows? I'm not saying this makes her any smarter, but at least she's (giving the impression) of trying to be a better actress. I'm a teacher. It's like me saying that I want to be the best teacher I can be, and actually reach my students. Is that too much for a human being to ask?
Let the flaming begin!!!

RE:
I kind of disagree.
The thing is that she said she wants to win an Oscar. An actress who takes her work seriously is not interested in winning Oscars. Instead she focuses on being the best actress she can be, in as good movies as possible. The best actresses are generally pretty indifferent towards Oscars. They don't care if they win or not, even if they think it's a nice compliment for their work.
Tara just wants to win a trophy, which is not the same thing as working hard on her craft.

Oh please tell me you're being sarcastic... This little speech reminded me of the one Invisible Boy makes in Mystery Men... "Haven't you ever been a kid? Haven't you ever had a dream??" (then he bats his eyes all innocently)

I'm sure it requires a bit more talent than pulling your hair back into a bun, donning a lab coat and glasses; grabbing a clipboard and saying 'I'm a scientist!".... "No seriously, I'm a scientist. See? See my clipboard and glasses?" ... gotta be a littttle more convincing than that...

Hee hee hee!! Why be nice? Celebrity bashing is so much more fun!!! Besides - she'll continue to get parts up until she:
A.) Turns into a total druggy and drops out of sight,
B.) Shop lifts and can't get a judge to be lenient,
C.) has to step aside because another air-headed bimbo is stealing her limelight... Oh wait - that's Paris Hilton... Never mind...

So in other words, by your chart there, she's no longer a celebrity.
