‘American Pie' star Tara Reid pushes for a sequel as she hits indie film red carpet
Tara Reid is feeling nostalgic as she looks toward her career's future.
Reid hit the red carpet Wednesday for the Indonesian horror film "Pabrik Gula" (or "Sugar Mill" as it's known in the U.S.), wearing a black leather jacket and long skirt.
Her appearance at the premiere comes just a few days after she shared some throwback pictures of her "American Pie" days on Instagram.
"Nothing like the good ol days with my cast! Who's ready for another American Pie? I think it needs to happen!" she wrote in the caption.
The 49-year-old has been working plenty in the years since the hit teen comedy, with films like the SYFY channel's "Sharknado" series and a recent appearance on the CBS sitcom "Ghosts" in 2023.
In 2023, Reid also appeared on the Fox reality series "Special Forces: World's Toughest Test," looking to prove she was more than her early 2000s party girl image.
"I feel like I've been bullied a lot, you know, in my life. And I kind of wanted to do the show because I wanted people to see the other side of me," she told Fox News Digital at the time. "And stop bullying me for kind of always the same things. And to let them see, you know, I'm not just this girl who's 21 and partying in 'American Pie.'"
The negative attention prompted Reid to step back from Hollywood.
"I needed a break," she said. "You know, I think everyone needs a break from something when it becomes too much."
Since then, Reid has concentrated on starring in several independent projects, including the upcoming "Dr. Quarantine," which she recently earned a best actress award for at the Hollywood Reels film festival.
"This award means so much to me.. I want to thank my director White Cross for challenging me to bring this character alive and pushing me past any limits, and my cast and crew for all of your hard work to bring this project alive. So thankful for the outcome and for the success of this film to win another award and be recognized for the thing I love most in this world, acting," she wrote on social media.
Reid continued, "Thank you so much to my fans, I couldn't do this without you thank you for all your love, the comments and support have truly made my heart happy."

Video: Mom Proves Her Daughter & ‘Grammy' Are the Best Duo To Exist
A mother and her daughter's relationship is considered one of the purest bonds in the world. While that remains an uncontested fact, kids also tend to get along well with their grandmothers. A reel on social media is proving the same with a hilarious touch. The viral parenting video showed a fun banter between a girl and her grandmother, reflecting the duo's chaotic relationship. An Instagram user named @mymadisyn12 took to the platform on May 1 to drop a video of parenting that ended up going viral. The profile managed by Madisyn, aka Maddy's mother, is known for sharing memorable snippets of the daughter. In the above video, Maddy is seen engaging in a playful banter with her granny that will leave one in stitches. It begins with the girl laughing out loud, much to the dismay of her grandmother. Then, Maddy pacifies her in the most hilarious manner by saying, 'Oh Grammy…oh Grammy!' who also breaks into laughter. The scene cuts to an argument between the duo, with the girl disagreeing with her granny. While Maddy says 'No, they aren't', the grandmother shares, 'Yeah, they're gonna float away cause you held your peepee there!' As a result, the little girl is annoyed and exclaims, 'You spit on me and I do not like you!' Furthermore, Maddy is seen working on her laptop. However, the grandma wishes to return 'home and lay down and rest' to avoid her granddaughter's talks. Later, Maddy is seen with her doll while her granny asks her, 'What is all of that hanging out?' about the toy. However, the former moves her toy away and instructs her grandmother not to 'touch other people!' In the last moment of the viral parenting video, the grandmother is seen ranting about 'Cocos and coocoos and cacas!.' The video ends with Maddy telling her, 'Grandma, come here! Look!' suggesting the duo are playing dumb charades or a tongue twister. Maddy's mother loves the banter between the two as she mentioned a fan comment on the clip, 'A better duo doesn't exist.

Video: Mom Shows What Parenting Multiple Children Looks Like
A viral video on Instagram shows an example of the practical realities of parenting multiple children. The household's mom, Brynn Stahle, recorded the video, featuring her husband and two children. The younger sibling's face was painted by the elder brother. Their dad held the younger brother in his arms, asking the elder one not to paint the baby's face again. An Instagram video captured a chaotic parenting moment, presenting the lives of parents raising multiple children. The mom records the hilarious moment while the dad deals with the chaos. As such, the clip perfectly encapsulates the mayhem and uncertainty of raising more than one child at the same time. The video shows a classic parenting scene that resonates with many parents raising multiple kids. Like any other dad, the dad in the video holds his young one in his arms. However, what sets this ordinary moment apart is that the child's face is covered in purple paint. The elder sibling's artistic flair and enthusiasm are responsible for the artwork. As the mother records the moment, the clip captures the dad, in his calm yet firm voice, telling his elder son, Stiles: 'Don't paint the baby, okay?' Brimming with toddler energy, the elder sibling responds, 'Okay!' The dad continues, 'Say, 'Daddy, I won't paint the baby.'' Without missing a beat, Stiles repeats each word with intention. The video's on-screen caption clarifies the context: 'pov: you blink while parenting multiple children.' This point of view sheds light on the maddening and endearing effect of the overlay text. Moreover, the video's caption is capable of leaving parents with a wry smile: 'and this is how we're starting our morning.' It is not just the video's humor but its relatability that makes it a resonating piece of media. The video is messy, chaotic, and shows the reality of parenting multiple kids with a spouse. It also serves as a reminder to enjoy such little chaos every chance one gets. The post Video: Mom Shows What Parenting Multiple Children Looks Like appeared first on Momtastic.

Find The Cash Twin Cities is hiding money around the metro — but why?
A new social media account that's stashing cash around the metro for anyone to find is taking the Twin Cities by storm — but no one seems to know who's behind it. The big picture: For the past three weeks, an Instagram account called Find The Cash Twin Cities has been posting videos of someone off-camera hiding anywhere from $50 to $250 in cash in random places, like in a flower bed outside Mall of America or taped to a sign pole at Minneapolis Institute of Art. The account does "cash drops" four times a week and has rapidly grown to over 77,000 followers, with many of the drops now being found by followers within a few minutes of the videos appearing online. The intrigue: Though there are several similarly-branded accounts in cities like Dallas, Atlanta and Nashville, there's no indication who may be behind the apparent displays of generosity in the Twin Cities or nationwide. The only identification the Twin Cities account holder has shown is their hand, and the email in all the accounts' bios directs users to Win It Entertainment — a company that has little to no internet presence. The account, the email in its bio and a LinkedIn user claiming to be the CEO of a "Win It Entertainment" all did not respond to multiple requests for comment from Axios.
