Oh, poor Tara Conner. Who would have thought that being Miss USA meant you couldn't be seen out on the town, boozing it up, making out with Miss Teen USA Katie Blair, and testing positive for cocaine?
According to a New York Daily News report, Conner has canceled her birthday party that was planned for tonight at PURE in Caesars Palace, as she awaits the word from pageant owner Donald Trump as to whether she will be dethroned. Of course, while that may be bad news for Conner, it could be good news for those of us who want to see more of her, since Penthouse has already offered Conner a pictorial in the magazine if she loses her crown.
Actually, it may work out better for Conner to be fired by the Donald. Look how well being dethroned worked out for Vanessa Williams, who was stripped of her Miss America title in 1984, after nude photos surfaced. After losing the crown, she graced the cover of Penthouse with George Burns, then went on to have a successful music career, selling six million records and receiving 15 Grammy Award nominations. Not to mention a successful movie career. Actually, the worst thing that could probably happen today is if Conner wasn't dethroned. Then she will certainly become a footnote in pop culture history. Get fired, though, and she has a chance to do more than most Miss USA's dream of. And I don't say that just because I want to see that Penthouse pictorial.
UPDATES
Seems like the Donald decided not to dethrone Tara Conner after all and she'll be entering rehab. Oh well. I guess the Penthouse pictorial is out, as well as the hope that she and Katie Blair would do a pay-per-view. My day is ruined. That was until NUDE PHOTOS OF MISS NEVADA surfaced!!!!!
