The media has had more than one field day with ‘hot mess’ Tara Reid.  Now the actress is talking to People magazine and says she is sick of all the criticism.

In 2004 Reid underwent liposuction surgery on her stomach and it left her with horrible scarring.  Then in 2006 she went in for reconstructive surgery but in the end was left with what she calls “battle wounds”, including the dreaded uneven abs.

Here we go again.  Pictures have surfaced of Tara on the beach sporting a bikini, which has renewed the jab assault from those who enjoy getting in their digs.  She said, “I’ve been a media target for years now, it does hurt my feelings, but what can I do?  I have to move on.”

She’s been keeping herself busy with some independent film work and designing her own clothing line Mantra, which she says reflects her moods through casual wear, bikinis and t-shirts.   She wants her fashion offering to be all about feeling good about yourself.  Hopefully Reid will fare better than celeb Heidi Montag, who was recently dropped by Anchor Blue.
