Trump Doesn't Dump Miss USA, But Does Order Her to Rehab
After a fast and furious spate of gossip about underage drinking, drug abuse, and behavior unbecoming to a Miss USA, Miss USA Tara Conner was given a second chance by Donald Trump and pageant organizers. Trump has reportedly loved the attention from the scandal (the new season of the Apprentice starts in January!) and, at the press conference, he was as grandiose as ever. Basically, he referenced how he "fired" Miss USA 2002 Oxana Federova because she wasn't doing a good job. And he did say he expect to fire Conner before their meeting. But, ultimately, The Donald saw a "good person" caught up in the whirlwind that is New York ."
It's a story that's happened many times before, to many women and to many men that come to the Big Apple. They wanted their slice of the Big Apple and they found out it wasn't so easy. I'm always a believer in second chances... Tara is a good person. Tara has tried hard. Tara is going to be given a second chance.So Trump has ordered Conner to rehab, and when she gets out, she'll be "a great example for troubled people." Cut to millions of men booing, because allegations of Miss USA and Miss Teen USA making are so not troubling. Trump did say, though, that if Conner makes a misstep, she will be fired.Young people today have a tough load, there's no question. Drugs. Alcohol. LIfe. Especially this city and a couple of others. It's tough and it's not easy...
Conner was crying during her statement and thanked Trump extensively for giving her a change. She said, "I plan on walking out of this as the best Miss USA you've ever seen," and apologized to her family. No word on whether she'll be able to move back into Trump Place. Update: Conner will be back at Trump Place - thanks, Best Week Ever!

She doesn’t need Rehab...
What she needs is me.
I wonder if she was as "giving" in her interview with the Donald as she has been in various New York clubs bathrooms?
by "good person" i assume donald means future wife.
The poor quality pictures fail to show the white smudge she has on her upper lip.
Looks like somebody forgot to swallow it all.
one word: hooker
Umm... why is this news? Do people actualy care about this, or is it just me?
Shes Miss USA, shes HOT, and shes white.
Thats why its news.
That must have been one hell of a "apology" she gave trump... that's why he was talking all slow and sedated at the press conference.
one word: hooker
"Conner was crying during her statement and thanked Trump extensively for giving her a change."
So... she and Donald are into the diaper-thing?
Donald should check-in to asshole rehab
no one is perfect,
Actually, she really isn't that hot. She looks like any "The Real OC" wannabe/transplant into NY. Miss California, the runner-up, who would have taken over the crown, is much better looking than she is. But alas, The Miss USA pageant has already met the quota of a black winner during the past decade.
So, about that war...
"Actually, she really isn't that hot."
Judging by that empty box of tissues next to my PC and my sticky keyboard, I must disagree with that statement javster.
I have been told that she is responsible for 50 shots (of Jagermeister) and thus she should have been fired.
I agree with Trump. NYC is a really tough town. I mean, Have you ever waited in line at Whole Foods? it's sometimes more than ten minutes. Sometimes, they give you a latte when you asked for a mochachino. Walking on fifth avenue is almost impossible and the wait to get into the Louis Vuitton store is unbearable. I really feel for Tara Conner. Living rent free in a penthouse condo, getting free clothes, Going to the best restaurants, going to galas and grand openings, throwing out the first pitch in ballparks, singing the anthem at basketball games. It brings a tear to my eye how hard it was for her.
There are SO many typos and grammatical errors in this article and very little citation of sources.
I suspect TC gave DT a BJ to let her stay.
I'm not sure how many million girls there are in America, but if she is the best looker the country must be in a worse state than I thought.Any other country and she would have been fired immedediatly, she's underage, drinks too much and takes drugs and Trump gives her another chance. What a joke. All this will do is to give people around the world another laugh at them, that is if anyone is interested.
This Trump guy has always been a joke in London with his wierd hairdo or piece whichever it is.

Donald Trump is such a hypocrite, do you remember a few months ago when he canned that women from his show. Why no second chance for her, especially since she actually does something besides shake her ass and smile. What does Ms. USA really do. She is supposed to be a role model for millions of young girls. (I would argue that the whole contest should be abolished since it creates an unreal persona for women to be). Doanld, she is a waste of your money, can her and can the whole pageant. Donald, what message are you giving to the world. I guess next time you say "Your Fired" it really means, "I can't hurt your feelings for scewing up, you all win as a result".
Anyone else sick and tired of all the same "packaged" bottle-blond women that look alike ? Come on, ladies, let your inner brunette come out again to play.
There are two possible reasons DT kept TC:
1) BJ (maybe more)
2) more likely, possible higher ratings for the upcoming Miss USA pagent.
We care? Until this week nobody knew who she was. What has she contributed to life? Nothing.
Is anyone on the entire planet losing an iota of sleep over this?
Really? The biggest news of the day for me is that a Brit cares about "Miss America,"
Imagine being asked to believe that Tara Conner has a "tough load", as Tha Donald said.
"Drugs. Alcohol. Life."
She's got two out of the three.
How about spending just a few hours in the local lock-up, as theoretically might have happened to any non-"celebrity" who had pulled stunts before turning 21?
The lesson to America is: be pretty, or rich, or pretty and rich, and the rest of you can go f*ck yourself.
she sounds perfect for gawker. are they hiring?
