Thread: Constantine Defends Tara Reid

PAL HAS SYMPATHETIC ‘REID’ ON TARA

TARA Reid gets mocked for her hard partying and bad plastic surgery, but she has a loyal defender in Constantine Maroulis, the “American Idol” alum. “I went to high school with Tara Reid,” Maroulis recently told Baird Jones. The two grew up in Wyckoff, N.J. “I noticed her even before high school because she also went to a private Catholic grade school,” Maroulis said. “She was so striking with that hair and she was pretty developed even when she was a little kid . . . She was always a good girl, a sweet kid. It’s tough, when you are making a name in Hollywood with the press, the way people brand you. People are unfair to her. Compared to the other party girls - Nicole, Paris, Lindsay - Tara doesn’t look so bad these days. Tara did not go to prison, she never broke the law. Tara is trying to clean up her act. She is a talented girl.”
