Tara Reid is back in the spotlight … for the next 20 seconds.

Tara, who is like a walking Ed Hardy advertisement this year, has told OK magazine she is not a drunk.

Oh really?

And she says she’s not too skinny.

Earth to Tara - no one cares!

“I’m not too thin. I go up 10 pounds, I go down 10 pounds. I was thin for a movie that I just finished [Vipers]. Now they’re going to see me and say I’m too fat because I’ve gained 10 pounds… I can’t win!”

She tells OK : On booze: “If I have a drink in my hand, it doesn’t make me an alcoholic. If I want a glass of wine, I want a glass of wine. I shouldn’t be afraid of it because of what the media might say. Anything you do, you’re screwed. That’s the lesson I’ve learned.”

“What have I ever really done? Dance on a table? Who doesn’t drink with their friends and have a good time? I don’t understand why people punish others for being happy.”

“I don’t like going out every single night. I like to hang with friends and eat and sit next to a fire - that to me is the best night.”
