Tara Reid laughs off engagement speculation

Actress Tara Reid has denied engagement rumours after fans confused a piece of costume jewellery for a diamond ring.

The American Pie star is currently in Australia filming new horror movie Charlie's Farm, and on Sunday (23Mar14), she uploaded a picture on Twitter.com of her wearing a bikini on a beach.

But it wasn't the star's figure which caught her fans' attention - it was the sparkling ring on the third finger of her left hand.

Followers bombarded Reid with questions about a possible engagement, but the star has revealed the jewellery was purely for her character.

She later took to the microblogging website to respond to the rumours, writing, "I'm not engaged its costume from my new movie LOL (laugh out loud)."

Reid wed Zack Kehayov in Greece in 2011, but the marriage was over after just two months.
