Now that is a PR strategy

The story:
Donald Trump announced that Miss USA Tara Conner would be given a second chance as long as she goes to rehab.


The combatants:
Agent Bedhead says: Un-terminated: the redemption of Tara Conner
A Socialite's Life says: Miss USA keeps her crown, thousands of Miss USA hopefuls nationwide splash champagne on their breasts and make out with their girlfriends in celebration
Best Week Ever says: Miss USA is officially coked-up slut!
Celebrity Hijinx says: Miss USA in rehab
Derek Hail says: Tara Conner keeps her crown
Dlisted says: Miss USA not fired!
Faded Youth says: Ok, so you're not fired
Mollygood says: Spot the fun Tara Conner Miss USA
Seriously? OMG! WTF?! says: Tara Conner gets to keep her Miss USA crown
The Superficial says: Miss USA keeps her crown
Tabloid Whore says: Miss USA gets to keep the crown
What Would Tyler Durden Do says: Miss USA keeps her crown
Yeeeah says: Donald Trump totally played us

Who said it best:
Best Week Ever is slightly cynical about the Donald's forgiveness:
Considering that we’ve never known the name of a Miss USA contestant ever before, it seems fitting that Tara should get a second chance — because, frankly, slutty cokeheads are the American way, and clearly, Donald sees that. We can’t wait to see how next year’s winner tops this publicity stunt.

Someone's been naughty

The story:
The Donald is deciding if Miss USA Tara Conner is going to be stripped of her crown for her party-girl ways.


The combatants:
Agent Bedhead says: Tara Conner lives up to her namesake
A Socialite's Life says: Beauty pageant juicy gossip goodness
Dlisted says: Your new Miss USA
Faded Youth says: You're fired
I Don't Like You In That Way says: Miss USA got around
The Superficial says: Miss USA is out of control
What Would Tyler Durden Do says: Miss USA is friendly

Who said it best:
A Socialite's Life hopes this story lives up to its advance billing:
Miss USA gone wild! I hope one of the problems pageant officials are having with Conner include her fashioning her sash into a tiny thong bikini that she's been wearing whilst club-hopping.
