Tara Reid — an actor, AN ACTOR! — has finally hit rock-bottom in her Tobias Fünke-like career, with news that the producers of Sharknado will not be asking her back for Sharknado 2: Twist and Shout (speculative title). As you no doubt have failed to remember, Tara Reid’s character survived the massive shark weather event in Sharknado, so maintaining plot continuity is totally not an issue here.
According to sources close to the producers’ meeting, the only actor that is on the list of people to torment in the Sharknado sequel is Ian Ziering, who played Tara Reid’s estranged husband in the first Sharknado. Does this mean that Tara Reid is ready to be cast in “comeback” roles for Lifetime movies? Yes, it absolutely does. [TMZ]
