Is Tara Really A Wildchild?

Tara ReidWhen you think of American Pie and Van Wilder actress Tara Reid, you tend to think of wild partying.

But Tara would much rather you thought about her "good heart" than her rebellious boobs.

In fact, as she braces herself to turn 30, Tara's mind is more on family than the fame game.

"I have so much love in my heart to give to someone one day," she appeals to OK! magazine. "And I also want to be loved. I am crazy for kids."

Her quashing of her crazy It-girl reputation comes as she finds herself taking a more sensible role fronting new European travel show Wild On... for the E! Channel.

So what of being called a wildchild?

That slip-up at P Diddy's party"I'm just like "shut up!" I'm no different to anyone else," Tara maintains. "I have a good time with people and I make people happy."

And as for coverage of her accidental boob-flash at a P Diddy party, she's similarly scathing.

"I think it's the dumbest thing in the world. I mean in Europe people don't have a top on and they just hang out on the beach," she says in her defence, obviously having not stopped off at Clacton on her European travels.

"I think this show will help people see the real Tara Reid," she adds. "She's fun to be around, she's fun to watch, she has a good heart and she's kind to everyone. What's wrong with that?"

Referring to yourself in the third person perhaps, Tara.
