LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - "Alone in the Dark" actress
Tara Reid is tired of being alone.
The 29-year-old voiced her need for a man in her life on Monday's (Jan. 31) episode of "The Ellen Degeneres Show," report news sources.
"I want a nice guy, a nice, funny, good sense of humor, cute, obviously, you know, just a good guy," says Reid, urging the single male viewers to send in a 60-second tape of themselves to "audition" for the role of boyfriend.
Reid remains optimistic about her chances. "I'm gonna get married on 'Ellen,' you guys, I could see it," she says.
All joking aside, Reid does seem to want to ditch her party girl image and settle down, perhaps because she's beginning to see the appeal of motherhood.
"Your body almost yearns for it," she says in an AP interview. "The way I look at children now is different than I ever used to. You almost feel your clock ticking. That's when I know I'm growing up."
The new Reid, who admits that she no longer parties with gal pal Paris Hilton, has even begun taking roles against her usual girlish-vixen type. In the recent "Alone in the Dark," she plays a bespectacled anthropologist, a role that audiences aren't buying any more than Denise Richard's portrayal of a nuclear scientist in 1999's "The World Is Not Enough." "Alone" didn't even break into the Top 10 films at the box office in its debut weekend.
Reid's film credits include "The Big Lebowski," "Cruel Intentions," "Dr. T and the Women," "Josie and the Pussycats," "Van Wilder" and "My Boss's Daughter." She next co-stars with Edward Furlong and David Boreanaz in "Wicked Prayer."
