Tara Reid is quarantining with Irish identical twin pop duo Jedward, the stars reveal Thursday on Page Six podcast “We Hear.”
“Sharknado” star Reid has been holed up during the coronavirus pandemic with her boyfriend — as well as the brothers John and Edward Grimes, who are famous for starring on UK’s “X Factor” series as well being Ireland’s musical ambassadors in the 2011 and 2012 Eurovision Song Contest.
Reid explained that she met the twins when they all starred on “Celebrity Big Brother” in 2011. They became so close, she later stayed with them in Ireland for two months at their grandmother’s home. (“Our granny thought she was Marilyn Monroe,” the brothers said of Reid. “She had, like, Alzheimer’s.”)
These days the trio has reunited in LA — where the famously big-haired brothers joined Reid in March, a day after St. Patrick’s Day. “We are all artists,” Reid said. “John and Edward, you should see the songs they’re writing right now!”
“We cleaned her windows yesterday,” one of the brothers chimed in, adding that their living situation is like “’Big Brother’ coronavirus.” (The friends said they don’t leave Reid’s apartment much, but if they do, “Tara has goggles, a mask, gloves.”)
Stuck inside, they’ve been listening to daily Deepak Chopra meditations for the past 11 days. “We did it last night together with all the lights off,” the brothers said. “Tara loves it!”
Completing the surreal scene, Reid apparently still has a Christmas tree up in her apartment, as well as “fairy lights” (UK slang for strung-up Christmas lights).
“John and Edward did a concert on the balcony,” Reid said. “We live in a high-rise. People were laughing, screaming, crying.”
Busier-than-ever Reid is up for a role in a planned “Tiger King” film opposite Nicolas Cage, and has another movie out next month, “5th Borough,” directed by former Kanye West bodyguard and NYPD cop Steve Stanulis.
She’s also developing a timely pandemic-inspired project, “Dr. Quarantine,” she said, in which she plays a shrink treating patients in isolation while dealing with her own unhinged life. Another Reid movie, the “trippy” “Masha’s Mushrooms” with Vivica A. Fox, was set to film before the pandemic, but has been delayed. (The Grimes brothers will co-star as angels, Reid told us.)
The Grimes brothers claim that they even inspired the name of Reid’s left-field 2013 TV breakout “Sharknado.” “We were literally on the first set of ‘Sharknado,’ and they came up with the idea to combine the ‘nado’ and the ‘shark’ together because John [and] Edward makes Jedward,” they said. “The lightbulb went off!” But, “We got no royalties, and that’s OK,” they joked.
