Tara Reid has finally been released from her 60-day stay at Promises, and she just couldn’t wait to talk about her newfound sobriety to In Touch Weekly.

“Rehab saved my life,” she says. “Before, I used to think about tomorrow and I hated it. Now I can’t wait … I realized partying is not what I am anymore.”

“The hardest thing was walking through the door for the first time (and) finally admitting that I had a problem,” she continues. “I wasn’t drinking any more than my friends, so I didn’t get it. I’d think, ‘Why am I an alcoholic and she isn’t?’ The truth is, some people can drink, and some can’t. … I like alcohol but it didn’t like me. I numbed my feelings. It was no life to live.”

Now, she tells the mag, “my focus is to get back in my career and stay sober, and keep on having a better life one day at a time.”

Aw, Tara. This is actually very sweet and honest. I really do hope you can stay sober, kiddo. Lord knows your previous lifestyle wasn’t going to have a happy ending.

They put a gag order on Nadya Suleman’s mother, Angela, after it was revealed that she was paid $40K to talk shit about her daughter to Radar magazine.

Joann Killeen, Nadya Suleman’s publicist, says that RadarOnline gave Angela Suleman $40,000 for the exclusive video chat. OK, now it’s really getting ugly. And greedy!

“I had to put a gag on Nadya’s mother, who sold her out to RadarOnline,” she told LA Weekly. “They paid her $40,000 to sell [Nadya] out, and she can’t talk about her daughter for three months.”

Apparently Radar magazine won’t admit to paying the woman for her interview.

This is obviously a very healthy family. Accepting money to talk trash about your own flesh and blood — that’s some Michael Lohan shit right there!!!

Here’s a little video message of Michael Phelps apologizing for his weed smoking … to China!

I guess they don’t know about Chris Brown or the Octomom over there — here in the U.S. no one even remembers this scandal anymore!!!

I like how Phelpsy looks pretty stoned in this video, and you can see his little eyeballs move to follow the teleprompter. He couldn’t even be bothered to memorize his own apology!

Oh, and I got an email from a tipster last night: “A friend from U Mich said that he used to go to parties, HAMMERED and once after losing a game of beer pong feel asleep on top of her friend while making out.”

CUTE!

Anyone else have Wasted Phelpsy stories?? Email me at evilbeet@gmail.com!!!

“I’m anti-Valentine’s Day. I don’t believe – and this goes for anybody – your man shouldn’t love you for one day out of 365. He should love you 365 days out of the year. I want Valentine’s Day every day.”

Carrie Underwood, who says she’ll be spending Valentine’s Day with her rat terrier, Ace.

Sorry posting is slow today, kids. Both Wendie and I are still hella sick today. I should have gotten a flu shot!!! Stupid stupid stupid.

No, this little boy isn’t this child’s brother — he’s her father.

Meet 13-year-old Alfie Patten, whose 15-year-old girlfriend had this baby girl, Maisie, four days ago.

Alfie is four feet tall and says he “thought it would be good to have a baby.”

“When my mum found out, I thought I was going to get in trouble,” he says. “We wanted to have the baby but were worried how people would react. I didn’t know what it would be like to be a dad. I will be good, though, and care for it.”

OMG!

He will be “good”?

Is he worried he’ll get grounded if he doesn’t change her diapers on time?
