Tara Reid entered a rehab program last week for unknown reasons. Tara‘s rep is now confirming she has a drinking problem and is in rehab to treat her alcohol addiction. While this is by no means a stop-the-presses shock, many speculated Tara may be on to harder stuff.

A source told People magazine:

Tara has a problem with alcohol. It’s been at the root of much discomfort between herself and her family and friends…She becomes erratic and is a completely different person when she’s intoxicated, which is hard for people close to her to watch.”

Earlier this year, Tara said she was a “social drinker” but doesn’t do drugs, adding she’d “done enough partying for a lifetime.”

Let’s hope rehab works this time! However, judging from Promises alumnus (Lindsay, Britney) it seems the “rehab center” is more a Hollywood vacation villa.
