Somebody's Looking Mighty Fine in that Red Bikini!

This has definitely been Tara Reid's year. If you have a second, you too will understand why I'm saying this and, even more, why she is getting so much media attention not for her good looks but for her attempts at getting back to her old body.

Last summer, Tara's pictures were in all the tabloids: after a bad breast surgery and an even worse tummy tuck, the former 'American Pie' hottie was all saggy skin and cellulite. Plus, not once did she miss an opportunity of making an ass of herself, by getting drunk, falling all over and exposing herself in public. She was, in fewer words, the one person people loved to make fun of.

A couple of months ago (as if from the effect of the cathartic interview she gave, admitting to having had breast implants and other surgical procedures), Tara began to recuperate what was left of her party-girl/drunkard reputation. Slowly but surely, her public outings became more frequent, she went to more fancy events, dressed better and stopped drinking. Oh, that, and she also had her breast reduced... and probably another tummy tuck to fix what the first doctor had done wrong.

However, around Christmas time, Tara was still a hot mess. The photos of her taken on vacation showed she had the body of a 70-year-old woman, who couldn't care less about her flat ass or the blooming cellulite. She was, for those who didn't know, gross... but the fact that she was still willing to display herself as such in public was even grosser.

Now, all those haters must stand back and bite their tongues (yes, me included): Tara is back and hot again! Of course, she is not as hot as, say, Adriana Lima, and chances are that she never will be. But that doesn't mean that she's not hot. You see, this thing, this advantage that Tara has is that she has shown us her worst side so far, as if to offer us the possibility to rejoice when we're seeing her like this.

I say: who cares? This is a woman in a red bikini. But, anyway, to put your mind at ease, let's run a superficial scan of her body: boobs - OK, ass - so-and-so, abs - dido, legs - OK, cellulite - zero, hair extensions - OK, level of booze in her body - apparently also zero. OK, so we have a hot (and potentially even hotter in the future) Tara. Thank that brilliant man who invented plastic surgery!
