TMZ: Miss USA to be replaced by first runner-up; Update: Criticized “risque behavior” at pageant

posted at 3:51 pm on December 15, 2006 by Allahpundit

Trump and the pageant people denied it yesterday but TMZ says it’s a done deal. Alleged cause: underaged drinking, clubbing, and carousing in violation of the moral code the pageant relies on to pretend it’s something loftier than an unusually demure Playboy video.

She will be missed.

Update: TMZ keeps on, er, milking it. Irony of ironies, they’ve got vid of her telling the host during the Q&A part of the pageant that pop stars like Britney are too edgy. Or, to be precise, “a little bit too much edgy.”

She looked great saying it, though.

I am sure this will be a boost to her career. Look what it did for Vanessa Williams.

Spurlee on December 15, 2006 at 3:59 PM

*wait* NOW I’m on the edge of my seat…

Let me get this straight….. Donald Trump is judging someone else’s morality? OK- Its official. The Clowns ARE Running the Circus.

Are we sure she didn’t get the heave ho because she appears to have two grapefruit halves where her breasts are supposed to go?

bloggless on December 15, 2006 at 4:12 PM

Getting de-throned is the best career move she could ever make. Within a few weeks she’ll be hanging out with Paris and Britney.

JaHerer22 on December 15, 2006 at 4:14 PM

She will be needing some tequila shots to get over this.
I’v got some limes,babe,come let me help you get over that mean Mr Trump…..

bbz123 on December 15, 2006 at 4:16 PM

Now THIS is worth a jihad!

I QUESTION THE CHESTICLES!

natesnake on December 15, 2006 at 4:20 PM

Her hometown isn’t too far away from me. I should try to find and comfort her.

She looks realllllly smart with a great personality.

natesnake on December 15, 2006 at 4:22 PM

Will Trump call her into the board room and say…

“You’re Fired”?

Romeo13 on December 15, 2006 at 4:25 PM

goddamit, we are in wwiii and these morons are worried about party girl..

retired on December 15, 2006 at 4:31 PM

She finally gave me a good excuse to post some cheesecake this morning.

JammieWearingFool on December 15, 2006 at 4:35 PM

mmmmmmmm, grapefruit…

infidel4life on December 15, 2006 at 4:45 PM

OMG, Mazztek, why would you do that? Blech.

dalewalt on December 15, 2006 at 4:52 PM

This is happening in the shadow of the U.N., and once again they stand by and do nothing. Kofi, you are worthless.

right2bright on December 15, 2006 at 5:09 PM

Let me get this straight….. Donald Trump is judging someone else’s morality?

No shit. I’d hate to have to judged by Donald Trump.

Aitch on December 15, 2006 at 5:33 PM

Maybe she could co-host Vent sometime? Just an innocent suggestion.

Halley on December 15, 2006 at 5:47 PM

They should make her wear a burqa as punishment.

SouthernGent on December 15, 2006 at 5:48 PM

Are those real? No? Really, they’re not real?

Soon it will come to pass that the only people with real nay-nays are old fat men

What a slut.

You guys are all pigs.

I love that…

Nice to see I beat you on something :)

Whew, I don’t know about the rest of you but I sure made a deposit at the “spank bank”………

ritethinker on December 15, 2006 at 9:42 PM

Btw jammiewearing fool, thanks tons for the link with the cheeeeese :)

Lord Nazh on December 15, 2006 at 9:44 PM

Dude..her name is Tara Conner? Hmmm…cue the music…

Large Leather clad man: I’m a friend of Tara Conner, I was told that she’s here could I see her please. (Be sure and use thick german accent)

Desk Sergeant: No, you can’t see her. She’s making a statement.

Large Leather clad man: I’ll be back.

Ok, so it was Sarah Conner and now he’s the Governator not the Terminator, but that was one bitchen movie.

So they’re stripping her of her title? Who cares? She’ll be stripping her clothes in the back of some rapper/celebrity dirtbag/politicians limo by the time I’m finished typing this. They’re just going to replace her with someone equally vapid but much more discrete. Whoopie.

She’ll be stripping her clothes in the back of some rapper/celebrity dirtbag/politicians limo by the time I’m finished before I even thought of typing this.

austinnelly on December 15, 2006 at 10:10 PM

Fixed that for ya.

infidel4life on December 15, 2006 at 11:01 PM

This is the greatest thing that could have happened to her career wise. Think about it…what beauty queen names do you remember?

JustTruth101 on December 16, 2006 at 1:16 AM

Whew, I don’t know about the rest of you but I sure made a deposit at the “spank bank”………

ritethinker on December 15, 2006 at 9:42 PM

Too much information!

infidel4life on December 16, 2006 at 1:54 AM

I’m not crushed. Her boobs are fake. I hate fake boobs. Better a natural A-cup than those massive 38FFF.

Ali-Bubba on December 16, 2006 at 2:31 AM

Better a natural A-cup than those massive 38FFF.

I should clarify, that is if the “massive 38FFF” boobs are fake. If they’re real, massive 38FFF could be kinda cool. I’m just all about the natural.

Ali-Bubba on December 16, 2006 at 2:48 AM

I volunteer to take the disgraced ex-Miss USA out to dinner and do my darndest to buck up her spirits. No matter what that bad Mr. Trump says or the world says, Miss USA, remember I was always on your side when everyone else was against you. I stand ready to provide comfort and counsel whenever you’re ready. You deserve better than this.

Sympathetically,

Tantor

PS. When I pick you up, be wearing the tiara, bikini, and high heels.

Tantor on December 16, 2006 at 3:11 AM

I’m not all that concerned about the situation. The pageant’s loss is Hooter’s gain. Water (or silicone in this case) finds its own level.

But someone please tell me that Nancy Pelosi isn’t third in line to that office too.

SailorDave on December 16, 2006 at 7:10 AM

Damn, she’s freakiin’ hot. The runner up is even hotter.

JustTruth … the only one I can name is the only one that matters … Halle Berry! Can ya believe SHE was the runner up???

Tony737 on December 16, 2006 at 10:32 AM

A few years back, I met the Miss USA at the time when she was touring with the USO. (With the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, I might add, so it was truly a target-rich environment.) Damn, she was gorgeous. It was one of the few times in my life that my jaw literally dropped upon meeting a woman, and I’m old enough to know better, not to mention a bit jaded.

And I agree with Ali-Bubba: the older I get, the more I’m all about the natural.

ReubenJCogburn on December 16, 2006 at 1:55 PM

Are we sure she didn’t get the heave ho because she appears to have two grapefruit halves where her breasts are supposed to go?

Don’t worry, the FDA just approved silicon breast implants for use again. Now…she can have real looking big bewbies with just a 3 hour surgery.

P.S. Anyone have her phone number?

Tim Burton on December 16, 2006 at 2:45 PM

Reuben By any chance, was that in 1989/90 in Okinawa, Japan?

Mazztek on December 16, 2006 at 5:07 PM

Mazztek, it was about June of ’03 in South Korea, and her name (I looked it up) is Susie Castillo. I guess she’s been an MTV VJ since then, according to the Internet, but I wouldn’t know. Anyway, she was looking good that day.
