Miss USA Headed to Rehab
Miss USA Tara Conner is headed to rehab after allegations of sexual misconduct and underage drinking nearly cost her the crown.
“She parties like one of the guys,” pal Jay Galvin tells Us of Conner, who turned 21 yesterday and moved to New York shortly after her Miss USA win in April. “She drinks Jack Daniels like it’s water.”
Adds another NYC nightclub source, “Tara goes through guys like nobody’s business.” (Rumored hookups include Travis Barker and MTV VJ Damien Fahey.)
During a press conference on Tuesday, Donald Trump told reporters: “She’s agreed to go into rehab. She knows that if she makes even the slightest mistake from here on, she will be immediately replaced.”
The Miss Universe Organization co-owner explained that he will use Conner as a role model. “I believe she can do a tremendous service to young people,” Trump said.
TMZ has video of a tearful Conner thanking Trump for letting her keep her title saying, “In no way did I think it would be possible for a second chance to be given to me.”
She then gushed, “I’ve had a very big blessing bestowed on me. It truly takes someone with a wonderful heart, a heart of gold and a blessed soul.”

I think this is such BS. She should have gotten that crown taken away from her stat. Vanessa williams got dethroned for posing a few pics and this girl is doing drugs underage drinking i mean she is no better then paris lindsay britney all those no name no nothing celebs.Sure it shows ppl can be given a second chance but when you are in a position that you are a ROLE MODEL you can not make those mistakes. It is setting abad example that just because you are pretty you can do whatever you want.I bet you once her reign is over she’ll stop by playboy and then what? Nothing. This is such a bad example. She never deserved to be Miss USA. I guess having her as Miss USA is just showing/reflecting the image of our youth these days drugs alcohol sex and NO MORALS. So much for a better future.
