Miss Nevada USA fired over racy pictures on the Internet
By ADAM GOLDMAN Associated Press
NEW YORK — Miss Nevada USA was stripped of her title Thursday after racy photos of her appeared on the Internet, pageant officials said.
Some of the photos show Katie Rees, 22, kissing other young women, exposing one of her breasts and pulling down her pants to show her thong underwear at a party in Tampa, Fla.
"Katie Rees has been relieved of her duties as Miss Nevada USA 2007," said Paula M. Shugart, president of the Miss Universe Organization, which owns the Miss USA pageant and others.
Rees' dismissal comes two days after Miss USA Tara Conner was allowed to keep her tiara when she admitted underage drinking at New York bars and agreed to go into rehab and undergo drug testing.
Pageant officials couldn't immediately provide a telephone number for Rees and said they didn't know when the photos of her were taken.
Shugart made the decision to jettison Rees, but pageant co-owner Donald Trump supported it, said Miss Universe Organization spokeswoman Lark-Marie Anton.
Trump, who co-owns Miss Universe with NBC, gave Conner a second chance after meeting with her Tuesday. Trump said Conner, 21, was a good person with a good heart and deserved to keep her title.
"I think Tara is going to be the great comeback kid," Trump said during his televised announcement, with a teary-eyed Conner by his side.
Apparently, there will be no comeback for Rees, whose reign was truncated because of the photos.
Rees has appeared as Miss Nevada USA at charity events such as the Goodie Two Shoe Giveaway, at which underprivileged students received free shoes, backpacks and school supplies.
Shugart said first runner-up Helen Salas will assume the title and compete at the next Miss USA pageant on March 23 in Los Angeles.

Ok, now Im calling this bullshit. If you gave one a "second chance" for "unaccepteable behavior." then it should be that way across the board.
Miss USa had cocaine in her system, admits to under age drinking (in multiple bars mind you) along with lossing a contrat spokes person with MADD due to her behaviors.
SO, this one has some pics, shows a body part and yu FIRE her, but not give a second chance....
Im betting that Tara, the "comeback Kid" sucked The Donalds dick to get her crown, but the others would not. (of course she is the type that The Donald goes after so...and I have not seen a pic of this one)
I bet Miss USA will be the next Mrs Donald Trump once the present Mrs. Trrump starts getting wrinkles that Botox cant remove. She is pretty young, but The Donald seems to get trired of one pretty young thing quickly and .......Ms USA is just his cup of tea.
