Executive summary: Bunny in The Big Lebowski

Tara Reid was making commercials for Jell-O when she was in grade school, and joined the cast of Saved by the Bell: The New Class after graduating from New York's Professional Children's School. When that job ended quickly, her then-boyfriend, soap opera actor Steve Burton, got Reid a recurring role on Days of Our Lives. She had made her big-screen debut at 13, in the schlocky Stephen King adaptation A Return to Salem's Lot, but became famous a dozen years later for American Pie.

For years, Reid was a frequent presence on the Hollywood night club scene, often spotted with noted celebrity hobnobbers Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, and Lindsay Lohan. In July 2001, she spent several hours partying with publicity maven Lizzie Grubman, just before Grubman ran down 16 pedestrians with her Mercedes SUV outside a Long Island night club.

Reid had an unfortunate moment at P. Diddy's 2004 birthday party. "I took my jacket off and my strap fell off. It was awful. The photographers were like lunatics -- high-fiving each other in front of me. It was so embarrassing. There were so many paparazzi and the flashbulbs were going off, I couldn't see anything." Of course, in all the pictures, she was grinning enormously.

She received a boob job in 2004, and says her intent was to balance her breasts -- the right one had been a little bigger than the left. She later complained, though, that her plastic surgeon had botched the job and made her into a C cup when she had asked only for big Bs.
