TARA REID HAS A BRAWL!

IT LOOKED like a saloon fight in an old Western movie, but instead of two cowpokes duking it out over a purty gal, two barely dressed beauties were brawling over a dude!

The Atlantic City catfight pitted party-loving starlet Tara Reid against Internet siren Cindy Margolis.

The bone of contention was Cindy’s restaurateur-hubby Guy Starkman. The punch-and-clawfest erupted at the Duke Mack’s bar at a party preceding — appropriately — the December 13 middleweight boxing match between Bernard Hopkins and William Joppy.

Before he wed “the Internet’s most downloaded pinup,” Starkman dated “American Pie” blonde Tara.

And when the two women met up, witnesses said, Tara made a disparaging remark about Starkman to Cindy — who flew into a major rage.

She grabbed Tara by her hair and yanked her off her bar stool onto the ground, say witnesses.

Then the two feuding femmes began scratching, gouging and rolling on the pricey parquet floor while trying to land punches.

“It was a knock-down-drag-out fight of the type that was never seen in this place,” Fred Guel, a staffer at Duke Mack’s, told The ENQUIRER.

“It was horrendous, or beautiful, depending on who you asked.

“There was some difference of opinion about the husband of one of the gals, and off they went.

“They were rolling around on the floor.

“There was no blood, but there were handfuls of hair left on the floor.”

In time the two were separated and Cindy was ushered out the back door of the bar.

The “judges” at the bar unanimously declared 35-year-old Cindy — who at 5-foot-7 is two inches taller than featherweight Tara — the winner. When the smoke finally cleared, slightly red-faced Tara, 28, returned to her stool for more cranberry vodkas.
