‘American Pie' star Tara Reid pushes for a sequel as she hits indie film red carpet
Reid hit the red carpet Wednesday for the Indonesian horror film "Pabrik Gula" (or "Sugar Mill" as it's known in the U.S.), wearing a black leather jacket and long skirt.
Her appearance at the premiere comes just a few days after she shared some throwback pictures of her "American Pie" days on Instagram.
"Nothing like the good ol days with my cast! Who's ready for another American Pie? I think it needs to happen!" she wrote in the caption.
The 49-year-old has been working plenty in the years since the hit teen comedy, with films like the SYFY channel's "Sharknado" series and a recent appearance on the CBS sitcom "Ghosts" in 2023.
In 2023, Reid also appeared on the Fox reality series "Special Forces: World's Toughest Test," looking to prove she was more than her early 2000s party girl image.
"I feel like I've been bullied a lot, you know, in my life. And I kind of wanted to do the show because I wanted people to see the other side of me," she told Fox News Digital at the time. "And stop bullying me for kind of always the same things. And to let them see, you know, I'm not just this girl who's 21 and partying in 'American Pie.'"
The negative attention prompted Reid to step back from Hollywood.
"I needed a break," she said. "You know, I think everyone needs a break from something when it becomes too much."
Since then, Reid has concentrated on starring in several independent projects, including the upcoming "Dr. Quarantine," which she recently earned a best actress award for at the Hollywood Reels film festival.
"This award means so much to me.. I want to thank my director White Cross for challenging me to bring this character alive and pushing me past any limits, and my cast and crew for all of your hard work to bring this project alive. So thankful for the outcome and for the success of this film to win another award and be recognized for the thing I love most in this world, acting," she wrote on social media.
Reid continued, "Thank you so much to my fans, I couldn't do this without you thank you for all your love, the comments and support have truly made my heart happy."

Malcolm-Jamal Warner remembered by Hollywood: Jamie Foxx, Beyoncé honor late 'Cosby Show' star
Hollywood stars honored Malcolm-Jamal Warner with moving tributes to "The Cosby Show" actor shared one day after his drowning death in Costa Rica. He was 54. Jamie Foxx, Beyoncé and Kate Hudson were just a few colleagues who paid respects online to Warner. "Speechless on this one," Foxx shared on Instagram Monday with a photo of "The Resident" star. "Rest in power, my brother." Beyoncé added an image of Warner to her website, and wrote, "Rest in power, Malcolm-Jamal Warner. For being a big part of our shared television history. You will be missed." "Spent time working on a film in Australia with Malcolm and he was the kindest and sweetest," Kate Hudson wrote on her Instagram stories. "My heart is heavy and sending such love to @malcolmjamalwar family." "Heartbroken to hear about the passing of Malcolm-Jamal Warner. Working alongside him on The Resident was an honor," Morris Chestnut shared online. "He brought so much depth, warmth, and wisdom to every scene and every conversation. One of the nicest in the business. Rest easy, brother. Your legacy lives on." "Everyone at Fox is heartbroken by the tragic loss of our friend and colleague, the extraordinary Malcolm-Jamal Warner," the network said in a statement shared with The Associated Press. "While his iconic roles – from comedic to dramatic – are unforgettable and timeless, Malcolm will be remembered most for his warmth, kind heart and the lasting impact he had on his friends, family and fans everywhere. Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with his family and loved ones." Warner's former "9-1-1" co-star Jennifer Love Hewitt posted in her Instagram stories, "I cannot believe this. This hurts my heart. A gentleman, an incredible talent and we were so lucky to have him in the 911 family. Heartbroken and sending love to his family." Tracee Ellis Ross shared a carousel of images with Warner online, and wrote, "I love you, Malcolm. First I met you as Theo with the rest of the world then you were my first TV husband. My heart is so so sad. What an actor and friend you were: warm, gentle, present, kind, thoughtful, deep, funny, elegant. You made the world a brighter place. Sending so much love to your family. I'm so sorry for this unimaginable loss." Viola Davis wrote on Instagram, "I actually am speechless!!!!! No words! Theo was our son, our brother, our friend... He was absolutely so familiar, and we rejoiced at how TV got it right!! But... Malcolm got it right... and now... we reveled in your life and are gutted by this loss. Blessings and prayers to your family and loved ones... We will speak your name—always." Taraji P. Henson admitted Warner's death "hurt" in a post shared online. "Malcolm, we grew up with you," she wrote. "Thank you for the art, the wisdom, the grace you gave us!!!!! You left the world better than you found it. Rest easy, king!!!! Your legacy lives far beyond the screen." Warner co-hosted the "Not All Hood" podcast with Candace Kelly, a platform where different lived experiences were discussed from within the Black community. "We're heartbroken by the unexpected passing of Malcolm-Jamal Warner," the Fanbase network said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital. "On Fanbase, he showed us what it means to be a creator with purpose, Malcolm brought intention, integrity, and brilliance wherever he was. His legacy runs deep and we were honored to witness it. His voice as a Black man in America shaped generations and reminded creators everywhere of the power of speaking truth through their Fanbase community joins the world in mourning his loss and honoring the impact he had on culture. We extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and all those who were inspired by his light." Warner was swimming Sunday at Playa Grande de Cocles in the Limon province when a current pulled him into deeper waters, Costa Rica's Judicial Investigation Department claimed. "He was rescued by people on the beach," an initial report stated, but first responders could not revive the actor. Warner gained fame as the son of Heathcliff Huxtable, played by Bill Cosby, on "The Cosby Show" from 1984 to 1992. He appeared in all 197 episodes of the NBC sitcom. In 1986, Warner earned an Emmy nomination for best supporting actor in a comedy. The show's legacy was tarnished after Cosby was accused of sexual assault. Cosby's 2018 conviction was overturned in 2021. Since then, five more women have come forward with accusations against the comedian. Despite the controversy, Warner was still proud of the show. "Regardless of how some people may feel about the show now, I'm still proud of the legacy and having been a part of such an iconic show that had such a profound impact on – first and foremost, Black culture – but also American culture," Warner told People magazine in 2023.

Stephen Colbert fans' cancellation hysteria takes Trump Derangement Syndrome to the max
Stephen Colbert is at the center of a conspiracy theory. It was born last week, when news broke of CBS canceling Colbert's late-night talk show. The network's move wasn't hard to understand: 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' reportedly loses $40 million a year, and Colbert is already in the final year of his contract. Viewership for all the late-night gabfests is evaporating — there's no recovery in sight. Colbert is No. 1 in his timeslot, but his show costs $100 million a year to produce and doesn't bring in nearly enough eyeballs to attract the ad revenue to cover that. So in what universe does CBS renew Colbert and keep losing tens of millions of dollars? The conspiracy theory instantly popular among Democrats and many in the media who ought to know better, however, says Colbert is really being taken off air to please Donald Trump. If the Federal Communications Commission allows it, Paramount Global, owner of CBS, will soon merge with Skydance, a company owned by David Ellison, whose father is a major Trump supporter. The president doesn't like being lampooned by Colbert; he's happy to see his show end. Trump benefits, so Trump must be to blame — right? For those who suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome, there are no coincidences. The truth is as clear as if Trump had been caught with his arms around the president of CBS Studios at a Coldplay concert. You see, if not for Trump's FCC leverage over the network, CBS would have been content to keep losing millions on Colbert for years to come. That's the crackpot view, and it's politically convenient for Democrats, who've done their utmost to promote it. Sen. Adam Schiff was a guest on the show the night Colbert announced its cancellation, and along with fellow Democratic Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, he took to X that evening to plant the seeds of conspiracy. 'If Paramount and CBS ended the Late Show for political reasons, the public deserves to know. And deserves better,' Schiff wrote, feeling no need to offer evidence for the insinuation. 'CBS canceled Colbert's show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump — a deal that looks like bribery,' Warren posted, referring to CBS's settlement of a lawsuit over '60 Minutes.' 'Do I think this is a coincidence? NO,' Sanders chimed in. The party instantly had its line, with shouty caps to drive it home. It worked — Bluesky and Facebook lit up with liberals saying free speech was under attack by Trump, while CNN's Brian Stelter, even as he reported the dismal financial reality of the 'unfortunately unprofitable' show, packed his story with the conspiracy narrative. Stelter devoted more than a third of his report — titled 'Inside CBS' 'agonizing decision' to cancel Colbert's top-rated late-night show' — to speculation about how the pending sale to Skydance might have influenced CBS, with heavy emphasis on the Trump angle. Stelter even added his own spin, attempting to patch up one of the conspiracy tale's obvious holes by suggesting CBS could have kept Colbert on air by cutting costs, since Colbert had produced a much cheaper show, 'After Midnight with Taylor Tomlinson,' that CBS was willing to renew. But that's absurd — 'After Midnight' is already canceled; CBS canned it when Tomlinson announced her departure to return to stand-up comedy. And while she might well love the live stage, it's obvious that running a late-night show on the cheap means paying hosts less, too little to keep Tomlinson. How little would Colbert, currently raking in a reported $15 to $20 million a year, settle for? Colbert loses viewers and advertisers even with a $100 million budget — how poorly would a Colbert show more than 40% cheaper do? Hollywood Reporter notes the average age of Colbert's viewers is 68. According to CNBC, the average age of David Letterman's viewers when he handed his timeslot to Colbert in 2015 was 60. All the data points in the same direction: 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' was a long time dying. That's true of late-night talk as a whole, too. 'I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next,' Trump predicted on Truth Social. The president doesn't have to pressure ABC to make that happen — the market will do that on its own, as it did with Colbert. Colbert had a hit when he played a parody conservative on Comedy Central. Once he stopped playing and presented his true face and politics to the country, he crashed. Donald Trump didn't get Stephen Colbert canceled — everything Democrats like about Colbert did. And the late-night host's fate will also be theirs if they don't heed this market lesson.

Popular rock frontman ‘doing great' amid battle with stage 4 cancer
Brad Arnold, the lead singer of 3 Doors Down, had a positive update for fans amid his ongoing battle with stage 4 cancer. 'A lot of folks asked how I was doing the other day. I'm doin' great fam! Almost every day, I feel a little better,' Arnold wrote in an Instagram post on Sunday, July 6. 'Things seem to be going great. Thank you for every prayer you all have prayed. With so much faith behind me and my own faith within me, I have no doubt of the outcome of this fight,' the singer wrote. 'God will continue to fight this [battle] for me……..and God doesn't fail. I love y'all!" Arnold's post was met with tons of supportive comments from fans and fellow musicians alike. 'Praying for you brother,' former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre wrote. Meanwhile musician Drew Jacobs commented, 'My heart is with you brother' and country artist Jason Micheal Carroll wrote, 'Still sending love and prayers, bro.' Arnold, 46, revealed his diagnosis with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), the most common type of kidney cancer, on May 7. The cancer 'affects the tubules that filter waste from your blood' and 'involves surgery to remove the tumor or your entire kidney,' according to the Cleveland Clinic. The frontman said the stage 4 cancer had metastasized into his lung. Despite the grim diagnosis, the singer felt optimistic. 'I have no fear. I really sincerely am not scared it at all, but it is going to force us to cancel our tour this summer and we're sorry for that,' Arnold said in an Instagram video. The singer also asked fans to pray for him whenever they can. 'Thank you guys so much,' he said. 'We love you. See ya.' Arnold, alongside Matt Roberts and Todd Harrell, formed 3 Doors Down in Escatawpa, Mississippi in 1996. The band is best known for its 2000 debut single 'Kryptonite,' which peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was included on 3 Doors Down's multi-platinum debut album 'The Better Life.' The band continued its success with its sophomore album 'Away from the Sun' in 2002. The multi-platinum project debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 and spawned the hit singles 'When I'm Gone' and 'Here Without You.' The band's third and fourth studio albums, 'Seventeen Days' and self-titled fourth album both debuted atop the Billboard 200 and were certified platinum certification by the RIAA. The band's fifth and sixth albums album, 'Time of My Life' and 'Us and the Night,' peaked at No. 3 and 14, respectively.
