‘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."

Jason Biggs Details Getting Cocaine From Trash Can Amid Addiction
Originally appeared on E! Online Jason Biggs is getting candid about a low moment. The American Pie alum, who has been open about his addiction journey over the years, recently recalled a time from the height of his struggles in which he repeatedly retrieved drugs from the trash can. 'I lived in the gray area, but I have 'snorting dust off the floor' stories or similar to that,' Jason told Arielle Lorre on the June 4 episode of her Well podcast. 'One of my craziest stories was I was doing cocaine by myself in my house, and I did what I said was the last line.' He went on to say his wife, Jenny Mullen, was asleep upstairs and she 'didn't even know' he was awake and taking drugs, and in an effort to get himself to go to bed he put the rest of the cocaine into their trash can. 'Within 15 minutes, as soon as my last bump is wearing off, what am I doing?' Jason remembered. 'I go into my trash, and I take it out and I do a line.' More from E! Online Kailyn Lowry's Son Isaac Introduces New Name Miley Cyrus Reveals Clever Way She Hid Money She Spent on Drugs From Her Accountant Another Summer House Star Announces Exit Amid Paige DeSorbo's Departure Afterwards, he instead put the rest of the cocaine into the trash can in front of his house, telling himself, 'OK, I'm done,' before going back inside and intending to take an Ambien to help him sleep. 'Before I took the Ambien, I was like, 'One more,'' he said. 'I went outside and I climbed into the trash bin and got the bag of coke and went upstairs and did another line. I was like, 'What the f--k am I doing? This is absolutely insane.'' This time, the Orange Is The New Black alum—who shares Sid, 11, and Lazlo, 7, with Jenny—said he drove down Sunset Boulevard to dispose of the cocaine in a trash can down there, going so far as to put the bag in a coffee cup that still had coffee inside. Yet, as he detailed, when his last bump wore off he once again found himself driving back to the trash can and retrieving the drugs. 'I could have easily opened the baggie and dumped it down the toilet, but I didn't,' he said. 'That's too final. I knew I was going to finish that bag the moment I got it, but I kept playing this game with myself. That was very close to rock bottom.' And at the time, the 47-year-old's life was consumed by his addiction. 'For me, it was the obsession over it,' he explained. 'It was wake up and immediately think, 'How am I going to get my first line?' to 'When is this going to happen? What do I have today?'' In fact, he planned his schedule around when he could take drugs, adding, 'It was exhausting and I was sort of consumed mentally.' Now sober for more than seven years, Jason can look back and see how much happier he is, calling sobriety 'freeing.' 'There is a freedom,' he explained, 'that comes with not having to do those things anymore.' For more celebrities who have been candid about their sobriety journeys, keep reading.

Is Paradise season 2 releasing in June 2025? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 9, 2025, 17:30 IST Last updated June 9, 2025, 11:45 IST Hulu's hit dystopian thriller Paradise has fans eagerly awaiting news about its second season. With its gripping plot and stellar cast, including Sterling K. Brown, Julianne Nicholson, and James Marsden, the show has captured widespread attention. But is Paradise Season 2 releasing in June 2025? Here's everything we know so far. Paradise Season 2 Renewal Status Hulu officially renewed Paradise for a second season on February 20, 2025, before the first season's finale aired on March 4, 2025. The announcement came via the show's Instagram account, with Sterling K. Brown sharing the exciting news in a video responding to fans clamoring for more episodes. Creator Dan Fogelman also celebrated the renewal on X, thanking fans for their enthusiasm and theorizing about the show's twists. With the renewal confirmed early, production moved quickly, ensuring fans won't face a long wait for the next chapter. Is Paradise Season 2 Releasing in June 2025? As of June 9, 2025, Hulu has not confirmed a specific premiere date for Paradise Season 2, and a June 2025 release is highly unlikely. Series creator Dan Fogelman has stated that production began in April 2025, with scripts already written. In interviews with Deadline and Variety , Fogelman expressed frustration with long gaps between seasons and aims to release Season 2 in early 2026, potentially aligning with the January 2025 premiere window of Season 1. While some sources speculate a possible early 2026 debut, no official confirmation points to June 2025. Fans should expect new episodes between January and summer 2026, depending on production timelines. What Will Paradise Season 2 Be About? Paradise Season 2 will pick up where the Season 1 finale, 'The Man Who Kept the Secrets,' left off. The first season revealed that Paradise is a city-sized underground bunker in Colorado, housing survivors three years after a catastrophic climate event. The finale resolved the mystery of President Cal Bradford's murder, identifying Trent (Ian Merrigan), a former construction leader, as the killer seeking justice for workers poisoned during the bunker's creation. It also disclosed that 55 million Americans, including Xavier's wife Teri, survived the apocalypse outside the bunker, a secret kept by Sinatra to maintain control.
