November 6, 2004 -- TARA Reid's mammary meltdown was the breast thing about P. Diddy's celeb-studded 35th birthday bash — but Paris Hilton tried to reclaim the red-carpet buzz by hiking up her gown and showing photographers she wasn't wearing any underwear.
The battle of the bold-faced blondeshells erupted when Reid's left breast popped out of her gown outside Cipriani Wall Street Thursday night. As paparazzi clicked away merrily, an oblivious Reid continued to pose. But her smile turned into a grimace when she realized her breast was exposed after a handler ran over and frantically pushed her fallen strap back onto her shoulder.
A red-faced Reid told PAGE SIX yesterday: "I took off my jacket and my strap fell off. It was awful. The photographers were like lunatics — high-fiving each other in front of me. It was so embarrassing. There were so many paparazzi and the flashbulbs were going off, I couldn't see anything.
"I didn't even know what was happening. I was like, 'It's not nice to take a picture like that. Please don't print the picture,' but they just laughed."
The pixie actress seemed exasperated by this latest burst of bad press: "I'm known as this retard . . . I want to grow up. I don't want to be the drunk girl. It hurts my feelings when you guys write stuff about me. It's not just me — it affects everyone around me. I just want everyone to leave me alone — let me graduate. It's like I'm in college and you guys won't let me get my degree."
Reid swears she has changed her wild ways: "I'm not crazy anymore. I'll be 29 on Monday and am celebrating at my mom's house in New Jersey. I didn't do anything. Paris seems to be able to move on from situations all the time, why can't I?"
Maybe it's because Hilton seems to thrive on public displays of decadence. Just moments after the paparazzi gorged on the glimpse of Reid's breast, Hilton pulled up her gown to show off her legs to the titillated snappers, revealing a hint of her panty-less nether regions in the process.
