lol! remember the CDAN item about Tara Reid being a yacht girl? They weren't kidding about the part about having to go for older, creepier guys. -- (link) - loosilu Jul 9, 07:34 9
- so, she's openly a hooker now, apparently. - Andie Jul 9, 07:39 3
  - Call girl. - znufrii Jul 9, 07:41
  - Oddly though, she's probably not looked better in years. - Will Hunting Jul 9, 07:40 1

so, i just had to call my boss at home to ask him something. he's not there. i got the housekeeper. - Andie Jul 9, 07:29 13
