Miss USA Gets Kicked Out of Trump Place Apartment

2006_12_usateenuni.jpgThe Miss USA situation has reached the scandal point: Miss USA Tara Conner has reportedly tested positive for drugs and was kicked out of her apartment at Trump Place on the Upper West Side. Conner went back home to Kentucky as gossip about her illegal (she's underage) partying ways reached the media. The Daily News revealed Conner failed drug test (a person told the News that she was seen snorting cocaine at a nightclub) and enjoyed partying with her fellow underage pageant winner, Miss Teen USA Katie Blair. One person told the News, "Tara was a party animal. I've seen [Conner and Blair] kiss before. They always dance all sexy on the tables. ... They definitely get close."

Conner, Blair and Miss Universe, 19 year old Zuleyka Rivera, all live in a Trump Place apartment (Donald Trump co-owns the pageants). Apparently Conner and Blair got Rivera drunk on her birthday, which angered pageant officials. A doorman at her building told the Post, "She does not live here anymore. She is not allowed any where on Trump property. She is certainly not allowed to come back. I don't think it was her choice, really."

The quotes from the story are crazy - apparently everyone at Miss USA hated Conner, she latched onto party promoters, she "always complained how it was a pain in the ass to wake up in the morning and she had to get crazy s--- done to her teeth." One person observed that Conner's smalltown roots were no match for the big city.

TMZ.com has a clip of Conner criticizing the partying ways of Paris Hilton. And Miss USA runner-up Tamiko Nash is supposedly on standby to take over as Miss USA.

doing drugs, getting drunk, going out all the time, living rent free, dancing on tables -- I think Tara Connor is doing an amazing job representing the spirit and ideals of America!

Let her stay!

I wish more small town people from the midwest would leave NY. They walk around like native New Yorkers owe them something because they live here. We have a housing shortage as it is. I don't understand why they have to move here and natives are forced to moved Upstate just to afford to live. Good bye, never come back.

honoring melania?? for what??

well, Ih8smalltownfolk, even though i don't know you, i am pretty sure i am right in finally informing you that everyone hates you. you must be the asshole all my native new yorker friends talk about form their childhood. have fun upstate.

I h8 all these small town folk who come here, too.
And, I have a place upstate and I have lots of fun up there. Yes, they love us, too.
they hate people invading their close community, much like you small town folk invading NYC areas like Williamsburg.
Have you noticed the man on the street interviews on NY1, not one has a native NY'er accent.
What are you gonna do? shoot me?
Why yes, yes I am.
That sums it all up.

"honoring melania?? for what??"

Such a good question. God, I want to slap the shit out of the Donald. I must admit some schadenfreude at these girls living it up around town on that jackass's dime.

Any publicity is good publicity. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if this was done as publicity.

Exactly why this pageant should have a talent portion. These young ladies have too much time on their hands... now if they had to study piano or juggling six hours a day this would have never happened.

"And Miss USA runner-up Tamiko Nash is supposedly on standby to take over as Miss USA."

Oh, thank god. Now I can sleep tonight.

#2 is absolutely right.

I had to leave the city and move upstate just because I couldn't afford to live in the city.

All these Chinese people who come here are buying mansions instead they should go back to where they come from.

ching ching ching

Enjoying your weekend, Rosie ?

Conner's face doesn't look *too* phucking sculpted-on in that pic, huh? Takes a shower and probably steps out of five inches of make-up, and God knows what else. Yuk. "Miss USA" my ass.

Katie Rees, Tara Conner, Katie Blair 3 down how many to go. You wonder if the Donald would of shoved this under the rug. He could not but he lost a few points with more USA Fans in America and the world when he blew up on Rosie O'Donnell. Rosie liked the girls OK, she just don't like Donald Trump, other than Regis Kelly and a few other hundred that he throws his money around to.. Who does like Trump. Dr Phil you don't seem so bad compared to this guy. I remember when I read his Books years ago, also read Ted Turners, Sam Waltons etc...Wow! did I know then this would turn out to be an Ego crazy guy that will be remembered for his X Wifes, Casios going south etc. He has tried to save his image and build it with TV shows etc TO SELL SHIT!! He is just about the worst looking, acting person with Money I have ever remembered. MissUSASwimwear.com is a site I found that has the links to real pics (not all the bad stuff) just the girls in the Swimwear and Bikinis before ALONG CAME TRUMP!
