As if dolphins didn't have enough problems already, Tara Reid has decided to inflict yet more pain on some of the already oppressed marine mammals. The former-actor-turned-party-girl is in Australia to promote Magic Millions' two-week carnival. To the delight of no one at all, she frolicked in the water with two dolphins -- Gemma and Nila -- while photographers yawned and looked on.
Wearing a tiny purple bikini, Reid described her experience thus: "It was one of the most magical moments of my life . . . I'm on a total high. I think this will be my favorite experience – this is just amazing... I love Australia. The people are amazing." Amazingly, the dolphins did not return the compliment. For more <ahem> amazing shots of Reid's escapade, check out this image gallery.
1. Not that I think riding dolphins in general should be encouraged but....
These are not wild dolphins, right? If they are indeed 'show' dolphins, isn't Reid doing exactly the same thing as the trainers do during shows at Sea World?
