Miss USA May Lose Crown *Update* Given Second Chance

Throne for a loss
New evidence emerged yesterday that Miss USA Tara Conner shares her boozing ways with her younger roommate Miss Teen USA, and both of their crowns could be in peril.
Sources told the Daily News that Miss Teen USA Katie Blair, 18, has been spotted in clubs chugging shots with the 20-year-old Conner. Both beauty queens are under the legal age to be drinking, and public guzzling also violates the pageant's rules.
Bar-hopping could also end Blair's reign as national spokeswoman for Mother's Against Drunk Driving, an official with the organization said. "They shouldn't be in a bar in the first place," MADD spokeswoman Heidi Castle said. "It's illegal and dangerous for them to drink alcohol at that age."
Conner, who failed a drug test for cocaine and embarrassed the pageant with her wild partying, is waiting to hear her fate from pageant owner Donald Trump on Tuesday. She may be taking down Blair with her.
Multiple witnesses told the Daily News that Conner and Blair drank at the Chelsea club Ultra on Dec. 8 in a group led by fashion photographer Fadil Berisha, who has shot for the Donald Trump-owned pageants for several years.
"He was buying the girls drinks," one source said. "They definitely had a good time, dancing on the couches, rounds of shots and a pretty late night. They had fun."
Berisha could not be reached for comment.
Blair refused to answer the allegations last night at a charity event for the mentally disabled in Miami Beach.
"The title has brought me a great opportunity to work with this organization," Blair told The News before handlers whisked her away. "And that's what I'm here to do."
Pageant officials denied the allegations. "Neither Miss USA nor Miss Teen USA were at Ultra on Friday night," pageant spokeswoman Lark-Marie Anton said. "Katie was at dinner with her grandmother. Tara was home."
Actress Vivica A. Fox, who also attended the Best Buddies fund-raiser in Miami last night, said both beauty queens should lose their tiaras. "I'm not a beauty pageant babe, but I think it's unfortunate that they didn't have respect for the crown," Fox said. She said the pageant should "give somebody else a chance. ... They're just not being good role models."

She says "it's dangerous to be drinking at that age". Uhhhhh, it's "dangerous" to drink at any age. It's just a shame that a lot of these girls don't have any imagination and their only way to have fun is to get totally hammered.
hehe...these competitions are a joke now days. who look up to these 'queens' anyways?
ugh...she's not that pretty...very typical. im bored. they all have the identical smile, body, hair style/length, features...the way they talk all sweet and big and...smart? very bored.

I'm just anti-drinking in general, but we all know what prohibition did...
I do agree with Vivica though, both of them should lose their crowns because underage drinking is wrong and believe it or not many girls look up to the winners of the big pageants-the pageant girls are role models and should behave as such. I don't have a problem with them maybe having a glass of wine with a fancy dinner once they are of age but getting publicly drunk is an embarassment for the crown.

What bothers me is that Donald Trump can be a thrice-married bankrupt jagoff blowhard, yet someone keeps balancing a crown on his head. Second chances! Oh, Love me, Daddy!

Most hilariously sexist thing I've heard all month.
Tara probably came up with a good sob story and Trump might want to up his approval ratings so he decided to be Saint Trump and forgive her.
If the stories are true and she is having all these issues, I personally think that Tara should be sent home. But, then again, the pageant website says that they're trying to 're-do' the pageant image so this may be one of their PR things.

Personally, I don't think she's pretty at all. I saw her and I was like, "That is going to represent the United States in the Miss Universe pageant?"modela said:
And you just know that she's going to be in the Top 10 regardless of how ugly she is, since there is usually a token spot in the Top 10 for the United States contestant.

Or it could just be that since pageants are huge in many of the southern states, the U.S. just happens to produce a lot of Top Ten candidates. Kind of like how certain countries always do well in certain Olympic events....after all, how can a girl sharpen her skills if there aren't many pageants available in her country? There's a pageant for practically everything in the South...even a pork pageant
