And Tara believes that sometimes people like herself are just naturally skinny: "It’s amazing the amount of people that come up and go, ’God you are so thin.... you’re too thin’.

"You wouldn’t go up to someone and go ’You are too fat’, as it’s so rude. I actually find it quite offensive they way people come up and say you’re too thin. Weight is your personal thing."

TPT of the Pops? - August 2006
Could Tara Palmer Tomkinson be heading for the charts?  There have been rumours before but now news reaches us that she’s been in serious talks with pop mogul Louis Walsh about releasing material.  As a gifted classical pianist Tara obviously has an ear for a tune but somehow we can’t imagine her doing one of Louis’ preferred stool-top ballads.  Come to think of it we can’t really imagine her being able to balance on a stool at all.

Tara’s New Nose - August 2006
TPT is reportedly delighted with her new honker after undergoing surgery to correct a collapse caused by cocaine abuse.  The socialite underwent a £6000 operation at London’s exclusive Princess Grace hospital in which cartilege was taken from her ear and inserted in to the collapsed septum.  She is said to be delighted with the improvement and pictures have certainly shown her looking swollen but happy.

Tara 4 Robbie - May 2006
Tara Palmer Tomkinson has reportedly been having a steamy affair with Robbie Williams. According to Closer magazine the pair, who have known each other for ten years, got together after she split with posh whinger James Blunt. Previously Robbie had called Tara ’one of the sexiest creatures on earth’ while she was bemused at his inability to get a girlfriend and for just a week and a half they decided to get a little bit closer. A friend of TPT says they spent ten days locked up in a New York hotel room watching DVDs, eating takeout and ... well, much more besides.

However Robbie is now furious that Tara, who described him as an ’Elvis’ in the sack, couldn’t keep her mouth shut about her pop-conquest, "you’d think a posh girl would have more class. Especially one that old," he apparently fumed.

The trouble with food - Nov 2005
Tara P-T recently hit out at her "I’m a celeb" co-stars, remarking that "it really annoys me when they’re fat and they whinge that they’re hungry, because I’m, like, you’re too fat anyway." Tara, whose alarming weight loss has lately been a big talking point, gave the reasons for her 2 stone drop as being related to her split from Matalan heir Jamie Hargreaves . Speaking to a glossy magazine, she whinged that "I would come home at night and instead of having three pizzas, like I normally would, I would have a couple of bowls of cereal." Tough times indeed.

Tara ’so skinny’ - Aug 05
’It’ girl Tara was spotted looking well toned but painfully thin last weekend. Tara, a former cocaine addict, admits she now takes vitamin injections as being so skinny puts her health at risk but denies taking drugs. Is Tara putting her health at risk in her size 6 jeans?
