Inside Miss USA

Return to TMZ.comDonald Trump made the surprising announcement on Tuesday, that embattled Miss USA Tara Conner would be entering rehab, but would be keeping her crown -- a crown that no one, including Tara, thought she'd win, according to E!'s "Uncovered: Hidden Lives of Miss USA."

Originally aired in June of this year, the TV special reveals how first runner-up Tamiko Nash appeared to have the title in the bag. When it came down to the final two, Conner even congratulated Nash prior to Conner's name being called as the winner. An obviously distraught Nash can be seen in tears.

Moments after winning, Tara gets some chilly words of advice from a pageant official who says, "If you act up, you and me in the bathroom -- headlock!" Curious, isn't it?

Once Tara takes up residence in her her swank new Trump Place digs in NYC, the beauty queen states, "I want to soak up everything that I can," -- and it looks like she did! "You can sleep when you are dead ..." -- or, in Tara's case, in rehab.

E!'s "Uncovered: The Hidden Lives of Miss USA" re-airs December 20 at 6PM.

123. Donald made the right descision. Tara is nice girl who made a mistake. I'am sure even the people who wanted Tara to be fired hopes she gets her life on back on track. Tamico said her self she wanted Tara to get her probelms worked out. I think people like Farrah would make Dr. King turn over in his grave. Tara everyone is hoping you can get stright so you can someday help other.

124. Okay so I was watching the E! show, right? And it tried to leave you on the cliffhanger "And The New Miss USA iiiiisss....." ---Cut to commercial "Scandalous!" (Armani Code - effing priceless)I sh*t you not, it was beautiful.

I've figured this whole thing out... dude, check it, check it...... Donald Trump wants to be Paris Hilton. Totally. He'll publicity whore himself out anyway he can get it, from excessively bad toupee's and comb-overs, to this.

As far as Tara Connor is concerned - she totally doesn't deserve it - no crackwhore does.

125. Tax payer your a slanted eyed midget with a big old face tumor and little small eyes. I bet your more uglier than Sandra Oh. Are you a prostiute or something and your just jealous that maybe all the black, white and mexican women are more sexy than you and get all the guys and money. I know for a fact if every lady were forced to be a whore the asian girl would get the least money. And the ugliest men.

127. Krkan is really stupid. Actually, he reminds me of a coke head I used to go to school with. He objectified women. Last I heard, he was in prison and renamed 'Isabelle'. His wife sends him letters every week.

129. I am a white woman and do believe that Tamika was the best qualified person to hold the Miss USA title, but only in the past. (many years ago, when I was a little girl and wished I could be Miss USA . I am 50yrs old!!) when being Miss USA was an honor and the contestants were ethical, moral, smart and the icing was that they were also beautiful. In todays world a Miss Tamika does not belong in this pageant because she looks like she has class and is a good role model for a young girl. In todays world the trashier you are, the more you drink and take drugs have plastic surgery and look like a hooker you qualify for this title. Miss Tamika should be happy that she does not have this title it means sh*t.....and does not represent anything good, especially now that Donald Trump runs it , do you think he cares about role models???Look at him... let's see how many wives and children he can father and all these womem that admire and like him.... really like him for HIM.. NOT HIS MONEY, right??? They can be bought... this is just another way of prostituting that is legal. so let's just be happy that Miss Tamika is NOT under this man, it is too bad that SHE cannot benefit from all the prizes that really belong to her!!!!!!

131. #128 Mrs. Trump could probably care less who he' s bangin as long as she doesn't have to do it. I bet her gardener and personal trainer are far more attractive than he is. You think?

132. WOW! Does the name Denise Williams come to anyone's mind? I can NOT believe he has stooped so low as to allow someone with such immoral behavior to represent this country....but then we have become such a place Coming from a small town does not give you the right to act like she did...pleeeeaaassseee! Second chance my butt, she needs to step down and give the crown to the runner up!

133. I don't care what race she is, she should lose the crown. Miss USA is supposed to be a role model and instead this girl represents everything that is wrong with girls her age now-a-days. I am a 22-year-old white female who has competed in the Miss American system and I am disgusted by their decision to keep her. Miss USA in rehab is completely against everything she is supposed to stand for. Bad call on Trump's part. He should take away her crown and give it to the runner-up.

134. I got a load of this racial crap on various message boards concerning the Knicks-Nuggets basketball brawl Saturday Night and the Bears' Tank Johnson's arrest Friday. Let's face it: This country will never have the races get along, particularly here in Chicago, where we wrote the book on poor race relations. Everything is a racial and political issue nowadays and I blame people like Jeese, Sharpton, and Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh for that!

135. I REALLY THINK SHE SHOULD HAVE LOST HER CROWN!!!!HOW IS SHE GOING TO REPRESENT THE USA IN REHAB? ROSIE WAS RIGHT IN SAYING WHAT SHE DID AND WHO DOES DONALD TRUMP THINK HE IS!
