I'M BETTER THAN EVER!

The former Hollywood party girl who'd been body-shamed for years gets the last laugh

 After charming audiences with her turn in the 1999 hit comedy American Pie, Tara Reid soon began making headlines for partying hard (she completed a stint in rehab in 2008), going under the knife (she had a botched liposuction procedure in 2004) and her shockingly thin appearance, which sparked rumors of an eating disorder. ("I have never been anorexic, and I don't have an eating disorder," she insisted.) But she's come a long way since then. "Body shaming is so mean. People would say, 'Eat a burger.' But no one has really done that to me recently," says Tara, 46. "I feel good. My life is definitely going in the right direction." Here, the Sharknado star talks to In Touch's Natalie Posner about her boyfriend of nearly three years, entrepreneur Nathan Montpetit-Howar, the latest on the rumored fifth American Pie installment and her guilty pleasure.

Sounds like you're in a good place.

TR: I feel positive about my relationship and business and where I'm at emotionally and mentally.

What have you been up to lately?

TR: I'm doing a clothing line called Cult Queen. I also did a bag line with Michael Kuluva, and I'm producing about five different shows.

Any update on American Pie 5?
