LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- According to Star Magazine, Malibu's Promises Treatment Center footed the bill for Tara Reid's visit to get help for an undisclosed reason, however, the center told Access that the claims are completely false.

The mag claim that the center is struggling with the economy and was using Tara to help them drum up publicity - was also denied.

In a statement issued by Promises to Access Hollywood, the rehab facility denied claims made by mag.

"Any suggestion that Promises is in any financial trouble whatsoever is patently untrue," the statment said. "The suggestion that Promises would search Hollywood for a celebrity who needs rehab in an effort to garner publicity is libelous, offensive and without any basis in reality."

The treatment center has demanded a retraction of Star's article, and stated that they were "extremely disappointed that the editors at Star did not attempt to contact Promises either for comment or to fact check their story."

    Newsflash What-eva! - Tara Reid was a legit actress in some widly popular movies (American Pie, Van Wilder, etc) so unlike many Hollywood trainwrecks (cough:: Paris Hilton:: cough) you have to at least give her credit in the fame department. While she is a mess now, she was a legit working actress at one point.

    Hate Tara Reid. WTF is she even "famous" for? Having botched plastic surgery and her tits falling out at premieres when she didn't even know it?
