Miss Universe 2006

I haven't read her interview or what she said. But I don't know, I think everyone has personal demons of their own to fight, they aren't always associated with drugs or alcohol. For all we know her personal demons could be that she was underage drinking and is depressed, who knows.

I think that's the same article I read a day or two ago. That's why I'm so surprised they didn't "fire" her.

I read depressed as repressed. That could be the freudian slip regarding her makeout sessions with her roomie though.

My shock at this girl keeping her title can NOT even be put into words......

Our local news just said that the Donald is suing Rosie O'Donnell for saying on The View that the whole thing is a publicity stunt and they played a clip of him totally blasting Rosie. What drama!

ETA: Tried to find a link, but couldn't.

How about the fact that she has drive and perseverance? What about never letting go of your dreams? That is what I'm trying to teach my students! That you can succeed with your dreams no matter how big or small they are.

And there is a reprecussion for what she did, she has to enter rehab. It's not like she got a slap on the wrist and said don't drink again. (Not that I've had to enter rehab, but I'm sure some of them aren't all butterflies and dandelions, she could possibly be sent to a "stricter" one because of who she is, and that the public will find out what rehab she has entered).

Maybe now the Miss Universe organization will realize "hmm maybe we shouldn't put underage women who have never lived in a huge city in their entire lives in a rent free, luxury apartment with no supervision for a whole year"

Yes, but she signed a contract prohibiting the sort of activities that she did. She knew what the punishment was, and she knows that she has a lot of eyes on her, so it's not like she wouldn't get caught. Bad judgment? Perhaps, but it's not like it wasn't spelled out for her loud and clear to begin with.

I thought that the Miss-whatevers were all pretty well supervised, particularly Miss Teen. They have people who go with them pretty much everywhere.

I don't know that I agree with using any of this Miss-Whatevers as role models for children. Particularly Miss Whatevers who earned their crown solely by their looks, in pageants where there's no talent competition and the interview only counts for a very short portion.

I just read that MADD will no longer be using the current Miss Teen USA as one of their spokeswoman for her role in all of this.

Glad to know that at least one of Trump's minions got it right.

ETA: Her MySpace headline reads, "who are you to judge the life i live? i know i'm not perfect - and i don't have to be, but before you start pointing fingers, make sure your hands are clean. -bob marley"

I wonder if people passed her pix on to the tabloids despite the private profile?

I laugh at her unfortunate situation.

Tara Conner would make an excellent Bond Girl.

Miss Nevada USA apologizes for the raunchy photos

"So many of us don't realize how our actions, even one night of poor judgment, can affect the rest of our lives."

Katie honey, I find it hard to believe that this was an isolated incident. You've got Girls Gone Wild written all over your face!

Don't these stupid chicks know that if you have raunchy pics floating around, it'll eventually come back to bite you in the ass and running in a "prominent" pageant circuit might not be the best idea?

Do I hear "Miss USA Gone Wild" in the making? I don't think they have made one before

I'm actaully quite surprised by Trump's decision. I mean, with her negative publicity now, I really doubt people will have a good impression on her and it could make people not taking pagents seriously, if you all know what I mean...
