Australia’s fascination with blonde American starlets continues on Wednesday when party girl Tara Reid arrives to add some glitz to the Gold Coast’s Magic Millions carnival. The 31-year-old actress, most noted for her roles in the American Pie movies and a botched breast augmentation, flies in to attend the Magic Millions yearling sales and racing carnival. She follows hot on the stilettos of socialite Paris Hilton, who was brought to Australia last week by advertising guru John Singleton to promote the Sydney launch of his Bondi Blonde beer venture. Reid will land in Brisbane on Wednesday morning after travelling from South America, and she’ll be flown to her Gold Coast hotel by former world motorcycle champion Mick Doohan. She’s scheduled to attend a Magic Millions function at the Conrad Jupiters Hotel and Casino on Wednesday night. She’ll be escorted at times by rugby league players, including Brisbane Broncos internationals Karmichael Hunt and Justin Hodges. There’s also a customary celebrity splash with dolphins scheduled at Gold Coast theme park Sea World. Magic Millions chairman and high profile businessman Gerry Harvey said Reid would help make the event a world hotspot, even though her star had dimmed in recent years. But he’s aiming for bigger fish next year, hoping to entice Cameron Diaz – a higher profile blonde Hollywood star – to the Magic Millions. After attending Saturday’s Magic Millions raceday, Reid flies out of Brisbane the following day.
