Miss USA, Tara Conner, who just turned 21-years-old has agreed
to enter a drug and alcohol rehab center in order to retain her
crown. Tara Conner was crowned Miss USA in April 2006.
| The announcement was
made by Donald Trump, who is co-owner of the Miss Universe Organization.
Mr. Trump was quoted as saying that he believes in "second
chances".

in the tabloid newspapers over the past 9 months with photos
of her drinking and partying. Conner and Trump refused to
answer questions about alleged drug use.

Previously, Donald Trump had ousted the 2002 Miss Universe, Oxana
Federova and replaced her with the first runner-up. Some have speculated
that this latest move is part of a trend called "rehab chic",
in which celebrities and other notables have entered drug and alcohol
rehab in order to save their careers.
Tara Conner thanked Donald Trump, family and friends at this time
of need. Ms. Conner is a native of Russell Springs, Kentucky and
was the first woman from Kentucky to win the title of Miss USA.
For privacy sake, the location of the drug
and alcohol rehab center in which Tara Conner will be admitted
has not been disclosed.
