LOS ANGELES -- The Miss USA pageant gears up to name a new queen this week in a live televised competition that organizers say will spotlight how reigning titleholder Tara Conner nearly lost her crown and ended up in rehab.

"Certainly, our reigning Miss USA is going to be on television and we're certainly not going to shy away from referring to what happened," executive producer Phil Gurin said. "Why shy away from what's part of our family? We embrace our family."

Conner will be "all over our telecast,"

She could discuss her favorite bars, favorite drink recipes, favorite pickup lines, favorite hangover cures...

Hours of entertainment.

Lucky for her, it isn't a beauty pageant, it's a "scholarship program". :)

I am putting in an early vote for Miss Alabama.

Alabama seems to be doing quite well for itself the last 10 years in the contest. Several top finishes and a few top 10...

These contests should end. They are pure BS.
