I try not to get caught up in the celebrity scandal d' jour but this thing with Tara Conner, Miss USA from Kentucky keeps catching my attention.

Tara became Miss USA and moved to the big Apple from Kentucky.  While in residence in New York, she started hanging out with super models and other neo celebrities and being 19 years old, she partied.

She apparently partied a great deal.  So much so that Donald Trump pulled her strings and thought about taking her crown.  She apologized and went to rehab.

Now out of rehab she apparently seems much better, in a Robert Downey Jr kind of way.

Tara claims that she is not an alcoholic, but doesn't mention whether or not she has never seen a drink she didn't like.

She also claims she doesn't have a sex problem either.  In fact it would appear that she enjoys sex quite a bit, which is probably a very healthy attribute for Miss USA

She also states that she has used cocaine and first (implying many other tries) tried cocaine when she was 19 or 20, which also implies that the years between 19 and 20 must have been a drunken sex ridden drugged out episode that is hard to recall for someone with the brain the size of a super model and a penchant for the finer things in life.

I suspect that we will be reading about Miss Conner in about 10 years in one of those documentaries on a youth that flamed out of life and met an early demise.

Personally, I do not have any issues with her behavior even though cocaine is very harmful, but it would appear that she does not have the personality, moral strength and possibly intelligence to survive the lifestyle that she has found herself living.

Tara get your shit together if you want to save yourself from yourself!
