Tara Reid – Getting Her Act Together
July 27 2009, Published 3:25 p.m. ET
After a botched liposuction operation, bad breast enhancement and a spell in rehab, it looks like American Pie actress Tara Reid is getting her life back on track.
Reid, 33, was photographed looking fit and healthy in her bikini while on board a yacht in the French Riviera on Sunday.
Following two months in rehab at the start of 2009 Reid found love with German internet entrepreneur Michael Axtmann.
Reid enjoyed the company of her boyfriend plus fashion designer friend Roberto Cavalli on board his yacht near St Tropez.
The former blonde pin-up showed off her slim-line body in a pink and turquoise bikini –which could be from her own Mantra collection which she launched last year.
Her body looked smooth and flat after the disfiguring joint lipo and breast enhancement op went horribly wrong.
She said: “Right after the surgery I had some bumps along the edges of my nipples, but the doctor said ‘Don’t worry, it’s going to be better’ but after six months of ‘it’s going to be better’ it started to get worse’.

After finding fame in American Pie in 2000 Reid when on to become a notorious party girl as her career stalled.
But after doing 60 days at star-studded Promises Rehab – where both Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan have been treated in the past – Reid is beginning to look and feel much better.
“My focus is to get back on track in my career and stay sober, and keep on having a better life one day at a time,” she revealed.
