The issue we've all been waiting for

Tara Reid's Playboy cover

And by "all" I mean "none of us." From the New York Daily News:

Despite previous reports the actress would be posing in the buff, Reid says she appears only topless in the pictorial.

"I'm in my 30s now. I feel like I'm at the best age in my life, mentally, spiritually, physically, of how I feel," she told WPIX Channel 11 News. "I'm proud of it."

Hugh Hefner sure does have his finger on the pulse of America. All of 1997 is going to be talking about this issue. What's next? An exposé on the seedy underworld of black and white television repair? Or maybe some hilariously topical jokes about Monica Lewinsky. Did you hear her favorite game to play with Bill was Swallow the Leader. ZING!!!

We want MORE, MORE, MORE of the lovely Tara. Soon to be nominated as one of the ten sexiest women, still alive.

Ten years too late. She was x1000 times hotter back when she was doing American Pie/Van Wilder. Now she's doing this for rent money and booze.

Agreed. She was hot in that weird kidnapped on an island in a cabin movie too. Anyone remember the name? Lake something??

The airbrushing department said they'd quit if they had to work on pictures of her ass...
