MissUSA's conduct & rehab

[carebear]

Anyway, back to Miss USA, she's a pretty girl. What would she look like in vintage wear? I'm thinking pretty good.

I'm thinking she'd look pretty good OUT of vintage wear, but I'm a very, very naughty boy...

On a serious note...

Amazingly, those times I've found myself in love with a person, their particular body type suddenly becomes "perfect". That is, when I get around to thinking anything more than worrying that they'll come to their senses and realize they could do better.

FHM folded

FHM is trashy? Wow, my hubby liked the issues I passed on to him. Should I have read them first?

Actually, FHM's USA edition is dead. Its not a good time to be in publishing.

Rehab?

Anyone here who didn't get drunk when underage? Come on . . . rehab? Who'da thunk Trump was a Puritan? Beauty pageants. Good Lord. is it any wonder a child who's forced to do these things has problems? Parents: leave your children alone . . . your vicarious enjoyment of success is harming them.

All of that talk of rehab and feeling contrite is nonsense. Trump & Co. are trying to save face for his pet project beauty pagenty.
I am off to read Pink is the New Blog for some real news. lol

Well, its the whole role model thing...
And theres always a runner up who will step in if the Winner cant handle the title.
Trump never drinks. I believe he had a brother who suffered from alcoholism, so he himself stays away from drink.

Miss Nevada USA fired

Miss Nevada USA fired

"Katie Rees has been relieved of her duties as Miss Nevada USA 2007," said Paula M. Shugart, president of the Miss Universe Organization, which owns the Miss USA pageant and others.

Rees' dismissal comes two days after Miss USA Tara Conner was allowed to keep her tiara when she admitted underage drinking at New York bars and agreed to go into rehab and undergo drug testing.

there'd be no problem, i'm sure if she was "caught" kissing a male. Why so because she's "caught" kissing a female? is it somehow a bad role model to be seen kissing a girl?

Thanks for the info, MrBern.

I think its funny that Rosie Odonnell & Trump started a public feud over this topic. Descended into name... Trump has stated that he might sue her over her inaccurate claims.
And all because she doenst think he can 'judge' the beauty queens actions because of his own lovelife. Meanwhile, he owns the pageant, so yes that qualifies him to judge th matter.

moving on

Ousted Nevada beauty queen cashes in
Fri Jan 12, 5:13 PM ET
Dethroned Miss Nevada USA Katie Rees has quickly rebounded from her public firing by pageant owner Donald Trump.

Rees has signed a two-year, $2 million-plus deal to host a revival of an "estrogen-heavy" variety show at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Jeff Beacher, promoter of the club night known as Beacher's Madhouse, announced Friday.

"She's a cool girl, she's beautiful, she's fun, she's got a great stage presence. I thought she'd be a great fit," Beacher told The Associated Press.

Miss USA officials, including Trump, last month stripped Rees of her tiara and the chance to compete in the national pageant after provocative photos of her partying and posing in various stages of undress emerged on the Internet.

Her new gig could involve similarly raucous behavior. Beacher's Madhouse boasts of "live monkeys, the world's oldest male stripper ... and the hottest chicks in Sin City" and bills itself as "Cirque du Soleil meets Girls Gone Wild."

Rees' agent, Randall Edwards, confirmed the 22-year-old aspiring actress had taken the job, but added that she had rejected other offers to appear in a Girls Gone Wild adult video and pose for Playboy magazine.

"She's not the kind of girl you'd think when you see those pictures," Edwards said. "People make mistakes."

After closing last July, Beacher's Madhouse is scheduled to return March 31, and take place the last Saturday of every month at The Joint nightclub in the Hard Rock.

"I'm a completely different person out of rehab. Before I entered rehab I hardly knew who I was," she told the magazine. "I felt like I was floating and I just needed someone to pull me down."
