Miss USA is thanking the Donald (Trump, that is) for not forcing her to relinquish her crown. The Donald owns Miss Universe. Hmmm.... That's an interesting investment choice...  

Turns out that Miss Tara had a few drinks while she was in New York. Oh, and she wasn't quite yet 21 years of age. This is a non-no for the Miss USA title, where the contestants are required to be squeaky clean. 

But Donald came to the rescue and allowed her to keep the crown. We will never know and should never question what arrangements might have been made in private to ensure this public outcome.

Miss Tara will be required to undergo rehab for her 'problem'.

Some of you may recall Vanessa Williams, who lost her Miss America crown in 1984 in a very public scandal. Seems that she didn't always have clothes on when she was photographed.  Other contestants in the Miss (Whatever) pageants have been defrocked for dating too many guys. It's quite an interesting dilemna for the gals. They have to be the sexiest and most well-rounded (in terms of interests) personality on the catwalk, but they can't have ever been sexy or lived a well-rounded life.
