Tara Reid -- Barefoot & WASTED!

After infamously partying her career away, former actress Tara Reid made a triumphant return to the Hollywood nightlife scene ... and staggered barefoot out of a club and into the street last night.

Unable to stand on her own power, the shoeless 37-year-old patron saint of party girls everywhere was escorted out of the Emerson Theater with the help of a handsome seeing-eye friend.

Luckily for everyone, the "Taradise" star had enough sense left in her bloodstream to make it safely into a taxicab.

Bye, bye Miss American Pie.
