An impromptu holiday wedding, on a sunny beach in the presence of the majestic ocean and a couple of witnesses you picked up in the hotel lobby, is probably the most romantic thing in the world. Aside from, yaknow, doing it properly and, er, legally. That’s right, it’s an actually quite well-known fact that the marriage ceremonies of other countries are often not legally binding once you hop on a plane and head home to the UK or the US. Probably because of all the thinking-we’re-better-than-everyone-else stuff.

The latest celebrity to realise this is none other than slurring Celeb Big Brother alumna Tara Reid, who took a moment out from her busy schedule of not really working since American Pie, to tell a random journalist that her marriage is a SHAM. Coming off a flight at LAX, Tara was asked if she and Zachary would win The Newlyweds Game (some ridiculous US TV show that rewards couples for knowing stuff about each other, like stalkers) and she responded:

“No, we would lose. Because we were never really married. No, it was not legal.”

Well, that’s pretty damn definitive right there, and her use of the past tense would kind of suggest that the ‘marriage’, such as it wasn’t, is already over. Tara’s rep is yet to comment on the remarks, probably because there’s not a hell of a lot of spin one can put on this.

In further Reid news, she's currently recording a single with Jedward. Hmmm.
