DONALD TRUMP - TRUMP TO END MISS USA SCANDAL AT PRESS CONFERENCE

LATEST: US property tycoon DONALD TRUMP will end the speculation surrounding the Miss USA scandal tomorrow (19DEC06) when he hosts a press conference and declares whether TARA CONNER will lose her crown. Trump, who owns the Miss USA pageant name, will have the final say as to whether party girl Conner's wild antics on the New York club scene is befitting a beauty queen. Miss Kentucky Conner hit the headlines shortly after she was crowned Miss USA earlier this year (06) and stories about her partying ways and kissing the likes of punk star TRAVIS BARKER have upset officials at the Miss Universe Organization, which oversees all national pageants. Conner, 20, has also reportedly failed to make promotional appearances and fulfil other obligations that come with the Miss USA crown. In a statement, Trump's representatives declare, "Mr Trump is seriously studying the situation. First and foremost he is concerned about Tara and wants to do what is best for her. Then he will think about what is best for the very successful Miss USA pageant."
