Former Miss Russia Busted Buying Vicodin with Fake Rx

With a local Fox news crew on hand to document her humiliation, former Miss Russia Anna Malova was arrested Tuesday afternoon after allegedly using stolen perscription sheets to buy 85 Vicodin pills from a West Village pharmacy. Milova—fashionably attired in a black fur-lined coat and skinny jeans, toting a Burberry plaid umbrella—told a Fox 5 reporter she didn't know why she was being arrested, and had no answer to the reporter's maudlin follow-up question: "What do you tell little girls who look up to beauty queens like you?" more ›

Arab American's Miss USA Win Sparks Predictable Ranting

Despite almost tripping in her evening gown (video below), a 24-year-old Arab American woman from Dearborn, Michigan won the Miss USA crown last night in Las Vegas.

Miss USA Parties Too Hard in West Chelsea

West Chelsea can do no right, as now Miss USA Tara Conner is getting raked over the coals over her partying. Yesterday, TMZ reported pageant officials and NBC met to discuss Conner's status as Miss USA, given "alleged incidents of her inappropriate behavior, including her conduct at New York City bars." And by inappropriate, they mean underaging drinking at clubs downtown, alleged substance abuse, and missing Miss USA appearances, as Conner is only 20 years old. While Donald Trump, who co-owns the pageants (the winners of Miss USA, as well as Miss Teen USA and Miss Universe, live at Trump Place on the Upper West Side), said that officials were evaluating Conner's situation as she's "going through some personal problems and difficulties right now which could affect her ability to reign," she's still Miss USA. more ›
