Here's the clip you never knew you wanted: Tara Reid slaughtering "Total Eclipse of the Heart" in front of an unforgiving crowd.

And while it's a far cry from the Amazing Profanity-Laced Old School version, Tara definitely nails the Tone Deaf Alcoholic angle.

Sadly, it's audio only, so use your imaginations to reconstruct the visual. C'mon, we all know she's at least wearing something slutty.

Club Paris owner Fred Khalilian has recently announced his intention to sever all ties with Paris Hilton, citing "irreconcilable differences" as the primary cause for the planned separation.

Other purported reasons for the less than amicable split include seasons three and four of The Simple Life, and Paris' friendship with oil heir/walrus Brandon Davis.

In any event, effective immediately, Paris Hilton will no longer be the heavily made-up face of Florida "hot" spot Club Paris. Reportedly, the decision to ditch the snotty celebutante was based largely on Paris' unwillingness to grace the nightclub with her occasional appearance.

Under the terms of her deal with Khalilian, who sank $3 million into the club, Hilton was required to make four appearances a year at the Orlando location. She herself had made no financial investment in the operation.

Khalilian tells the AP he doesn't plan to change the name of the clubs, but says Club Paris will now refer to the city, not the socialite. He also says he plans to hold a contest to find a new face for the hot spots.

No word yet on which famous face will inherit this huge distinction, but we'd like to offer our preemptive condolences to Tara Reid, who will inevitably be turned down as the club's official sponsor—and turned away at the door.

Make fun all you want about Tara Reid earning her dolla dolla bills by hosting a New Year's eve bash at a Chicago Marriot, but at least she didn't have to fly halfway around the world a la Paris Hilton to earn her fee. While Paris launches the new beer line Bondi Blonde on the New Year and Tara Reid hits the continental breakfast, what will their young Hollywood gal pals be up to? The LAT rounds out the list of how professional celebrities earn their dues:

• Britney Spears will be at Las Vegas' Pure with a midnight toast from a champagne total worth more than Kevin Federline's net worth

• Pamela Anderson will be at Vegas' Tao pretending not to notice that:

• Kid Rock will be at Vegas' Jet, where he'll be treating revelers to a "rare DJ set." Which, clearly, will involve a set of iPods.

• Christina Aguilera will be in New York at the Hudson Hotel, alongside gossip blogger Perez Hilton and hoards of hangers-on.

• Jessica Alba will be at Miami's Setai hotel, but unable to carry the event by herself, she'll be joined by Hilary Duff's veneers and Ben McKenzie's brooding.

We hear Talon Torriero has yet to lock down his New Year's Eve hosting duties, but luckily there's a new Valero gas station opening Jan. 1.

Today's Mediaworks column in Ad Age offers up some insight into the plus side of landing on Page Six.

Obviously, as anyone who has lived in this city for five minutes knows, the gossips are free press for clubs, liquor brands, and B-List celebs.

When the New York Post's Page Six runs one of its punchy one-line "Sightings"-say, "Tara Reid, drinking a Grey Goose martini at Cain..."-the reaction among many readers may be something along the lines of "Wow, she sure dances on an awful lot of banquettes." But to more business folk than who'd care to admit it, such quick-hit plugs have evolved into crucial components of branding or marketing campaigns-within and without New York City.

If the fetchingly unhinged Ms. Reid is passing the wee hours of the morning at Cain, the thinking goes, that only affirms the nightspot's celebrity/player bona fides. If she's daintily sipping a Grey Goose martini, that confirms the vodka's eminence.

Somehow, in the alternate universe of advertising, Tara Reid downing Grey Goose at Cain is "good" press. Which is exactly why you will find us sipping K1 on the rocks down at Element.

And we're speaking from experience here: When in doubt, always blame Tara.

Bush Blames Reid for Immigration Meltdown [Jennifer Loven, AP]

Un-fact-checked gossip for gossip's sake? We've seen Brokeback Mountain like 10 times, ok? We have nothing else to live for.

So, somebody should get Lizzy Grubman's lawyer on the phone. More drunk blondes are supposedly slamming into shit with their cars.

A well-lubricated Tara Reid was seen outside of Dennis Rodman's Newport Beach house on Wednesday morning, paying off a local resident after slamming into their car.

According to our eyewitness, Ms. Reid's "pupils were clearly dialated, for what reason I don't know." After exiting their respective vehicles, Tara told the owner of the other vehicle that she "didn't want to deal with insurance," and promptly handed the gentleman $700 dollars to "forget it ever happened."

We got over our initial shock of Dennis Rodman's house on Newport Beach, and then bam! Tara Reid carrying wads of cash? Where the hell did Tartrashtic get 700 bucks?

The only thing we figure is that people must paying her to please keep her clothes on.
