Tara Reid is doing the January/February issue of Playboy, because she supposedly got all of her "Tijuana Special" plastic surgery fixed and has something to prove to the world. Oh, and I guess it goes without saying that she probably could use the cash, too.

"I got it fixed and now I'm OK, and I want people to know that I'm OK," she explained in a recent interview.

"I've been OK now for the last five or six years but people only show old pictures which is so unfair and that's part of the reason why I did the Playboy shoot - to show the world this is me and this is what I look like." (Source)

So there you have it. This is what Tara Reid really looks like. After a good scrubbing with a Brillo Pad and some OxiClean® and the work of a team of no less than a dozen skilled Photoshop artists, anyway. But hey, at least she doesn't have like, Frankenstein-bolts sticking out of her stomach anymore. Small victories, people.
