Tara Reid Is The Belle Of The Ball Down Under

Oh, Tara Reid. When you've gone at least five months without making an embarrassing appearance at a rap concert or on a beach with a skimpy bikini, maybe hosting an event called Hookers' Ball isn't a shrewd PR move.

Reid was paid a reported $1 million to appear in Darwin, Australia at the R-rated event the day after she did some shopping in Sydney--wearing the locals' UGG boots, of course.

"This is a costume party and everyone is out to have fun and be a little bit crazy," Reid said about her appearance at the Hookers' Ball. And if that craziness includes "bondage beds, fantasy, latex, porn stars and erotic dancers"? Well, that just happens sometimes.
