Tara Sinks; Trump Likes the Ink

It won't be a very happy 21st birthday today for Tara Conner: The Kentucky beauty is on the verge of losing her Miss USA crown over allegations of drug use and excessive partying, and sources tell TMZ she will be replaced tomorrow officially by Tamiko Nash, Miss California.

The damning evidence continues to mount against Conner, whose tumultuous reign began in April. Yesterday, the New York Daily News reported that Conner had failed a drug test for cocaine. Sources confirm to TMZ that after she was "caught red-handed," she took a hair follicle drug test that returned positive for coke.

What's more, we're told that pageant officials knew they had a problem with Conner and her wild ways "the minute she was crowned," and have been deeply troubled by her friendship with 18-year-old Miss Teen USA Katie Blair. The pair have been spotted kissing (yes -- each other) in bars, and returning together to her posh Trump Place apartment -- which Conner has since vacated -- late at night with a variety of men. To be clear, a rep for the pageant says that the allegations about Miss Teen USA are totally unfounded.

Meanwhile, TMZ has learned that The Donald himself could have made a decision on Conner's future weeks ago, and allowed the matter to pass with a minimum of media pageant beauties: click to launchattention. However, according to a well-placed insider, Trump has been relishing the publicity that the Conner situation has generated for his pageant and let the fiasco continue to play out.

Tara may be cheered a bit to learn that at least one payday awaits: Penthouse magazine has been actively courting her services for a photo spread...

31. There are a few black women that are beautiful, however, you are right. Most black women look like monkeys...and that is not attractive

32. You'll can say this has nothing to with race but deep down you'll know it does. The blacks in this country continue to get the short end of the stick. We didn't come to this Country voluntary. We have been whipped, chained and hung by your ancestors and you'll just want us to forget. Well I'm sorry, we will never forget and will keep reminding you of your racist past. It's just like the Jews with the Holocaust, we will never forget.

33. If Fadil the photog bought Teen and Tara both drinks, how is she safe? Is there a double standard or a sacrificial lamb here?

34. Farrah,
Shut up and get your black ass over here and clean my house!

35. "we"?? sorry to break it to you, farrah, but YOU have been subjected to none of that abuse.

36. Farrah, How do you expect us to progress as a society if you live in the past. I nor my father were the ones that did those things to you. Rather the ones who have past laws abolishing those actions. I would bet on a day to day business you encounter much more racism than the average American because of the attitude you maintain. Speaking to everyone please dont let the ignorance of this woman effect your beliefs. Farrah lose your grudge and start living life in the present. You will have a much more enjoyable, positve life.

38. No offense ms. Farrah Racist but how did the blacks come to this country involuntarily?

Let's see if you know anything about your own tribal history you would know that black tribes sold your ancestors. OMG did I say your own black people sold your ancestors into slavery.

Now that is something you should be ashamed of.

SO STOP TRYING TO IMPLY YOU WERE FORCED HERE BY THE WHITE.

THE BLACKS IN AFRICA SOLD YOU.

Besides ms. farrah racist I am from a state tht elected its first black govenor.

My ancestors are dead and had nothing to do with slavery. They came here in the 20/30s. In fact most of the whites that I know do not go back to colonial times.

You are a racist and I say you can kiss my butt.

39. # 18- I compeletly agree with you. I brought those same facts up on another post and boy did I get called some nasty names afterwards, so I'm glad someone else feels the same way.

Farrah - Your right you did not come here voluntary, but in case you aren't up with the times, blacks can now fly and take cruises. Nothing is keeping you here so if you don't like the so called racism, then leave and go back to your country.

Also, Farrah, you did not reply on the post about having a Miss Black USA. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Miss USA blacks and other reaces are allowed to participate but a white can not participate in the Miss Black USA. See to me that's racist. To top it off, Vanessa Williams is black and she won Miss USA - not Miss Black USA so was that still racist?

40. Miss Teen USA was seen in a bar...isn't she only 18? Was she drinking? It just goes to show that hot chicks can get just about what ever they want.

Tara looks much hotter with her hair back.

I for one say let 'em party. It makes for good publicity, and I know I wouldn't mind seeing them kiss. How about some pics?

Who can blame them with role models like Britney, and Paris?

41. Farrah, you are an idiot. You have been all over the place today screaming(writing) "Racist". That's a load of BS. Held down? How? When I bust my ass for close to 80 hours a week, have a damn good education, and still barely make enough to get by and support my son. When I can walk into the agencies that claim to help, and ask for help, and be denied because I own a POS 1992 Chevy Lumina, but the African-American who walks in behind me driving the new Caddy gets all the benefits....When I sign up for scholarships, if I don't inform them that I am 1/2 Hispanic, I don't get sh*t, but African Americans have over 1000 scholarships available for doing....nothing.

Let me ask you, have you ever been whipped, beat, any of that?
No. You haven't!!
So, really .....SHUT THE HELL UP!!

This girl Tara needs to be dethroned because of her actions, and the 1st runner up should take her place.....not because she is black, but because she deserves it.

42. Give us more Jim Nabors stories.

43.
The ignorant comments by ignorant posters on this thread - and by ignorant, I mean #s 16, 18, 29, 20, 25, 28 - only expose the racism Farrah is calling out into the open. I am laughing at those of you who have denied racism exists by responding with a clearly racist post. I am laughing, too, because I guarantee that the racist posters on this thread have very little education and really pathetic careers.

And i can GUARANTEE you are ugly as hell, inside and out, and were probably picked on as children. And oh, wait, it gets better.... I bet you call yourselves Christians, too.
