Tara sunning it up in the Caribbean

Tara showin' her bod in St. BartsTara Reid has been snapped by paparrazi and cingular camera phone carrying fans alike, enjoying herself on the Caribbean island of St Barts. She is reportedly staying at one of the islands many luxury hotels.

The actress is getting ready to star in TV's Celebrity Big Brother next month, showing off her body.

She had undergone plastic surgery in 2004, but both her boob job and her liposuction went awry, with even Tara admitting that her belly became 'the most ripply, bulgy thing'.

Her travel show, Taradise, on E!, did not help either, with her drinking leading to a bit of a beer belly.

However, relaxing and splashing in St Barts, the actress revealed that she has been to the gym since then. She most likely put in some time with pilates and yoga, as well as a low calorie diet.

When she leaves the Caribbean island paradise, Tara is rumoured to join Darkness singer Justin Hawkins, Girls Aloud chanteuse Sarah Harding, David 'the Hoff' Hasselhoff, Dirk 'A-Team' Benedict and glamour model Leilani Dowding, amongst others.

However, it has not been confirmed who will get to ogle Tara's tan in the house until the show is broadcast on January 3rd.
