Someone needs to tell Tara Reid that the writers’ strike has been over for quite a while now, because it seems the “American Pie” actress didn’t get the memo.

“I totally plan to go back into acting once the strike stops,” Reid told Pop Tarts last week at Eva Longoria-Parker’s Padres Contra El Cancer’s 8th Annual “El Sueno De Esperanza” benefit gala in Hollywood. “The economy is so bad right now that people are afraid to put money back into acting. Even the shows that seem new, they really shot six months ago. So when it’s all back up again, I will go back into it. That’s my heart,” she said.

So instead of performing, Tara has been busy in her new career as a fashion designer … inspired by “The Secret.”

“I have a clothing line coming out called Mantra by Tara Reid. It’s like the book ‘The Secret’ — the whole line is about colors,” she explained. “Red means love, blue means love, white is peace, black means protection. So when you wear these colors, you might attract love, or green, you’ll get lucky tonight. You put the energy out there, that’s what the line is all about.”

Inside the swanky soiree, party host (and spokeswoman for the foundation) Longoria-Parker awkwardly addressed Reid and her new boyfriend. The “Desperate Housewife” once again flatly denied that she was pregnant, although being a parent is definitely on the agenda for Eva and her NBA hubby Tony Parker.

“People always say ‘I want a boy! I want a girl!’ I just think, ‘Oh my gosh, I just want a healthy child,’” she told us. “That’s truly a gift. If you’re a healthy adult, to complain about anything in life that’s so minute, you really have to be grateful for everything that you have and do something with it.”
