Train Wrecks
Trump: Tara NOT Fired, Will Enter Rehab

Donald the Forgiving?

In a move that shocked anyone who has ever seen "The Apprentice," including Tara Conner, Donald Trump announced Tuesday morning that he will not fire the embattled Miss USA, despite allegations of drug use, underage drinking and sexual misconduct.

"She's agreed to go into rehab. She knows that if she makes even the slightest mistake from here on, she will be immediately replaced," said Trump. The carefully coifed billionaire explained that he will use Conner as a role model. "I believe she can do a tremendous service to young people."

Fighting back tears, and with her voice shaking, Conner thanked Trump for the pardon saying, "In no way did I think it would be possible for a second chance to be given to me." She then went on to shower the Donald in compliments; "I've had a very big blessing bestowed on me. It truly takes someone with a wonderful heart, a heart of gold and a blessed soul."

Midway through the press conference, Conner briefly ran offstage and donned her Miss USA sash, proving that she's keeping her crown.

17. i'm glad trump gave her a second chance. she is beautiful and it's been proven, time and again, that the world is much kinder to those who are so attractive....it's just a fact of life. everyone loves someone who repents, hopefully she won't blow this chance.

19. Donald's a poser!

Not only did he not want a black Miss USA, but he just wants to look good and gain ratings for his horrible show, The Apprentice.

He's such a cocky fug face.

24. I agree! Everyone goes through personal problems and if Tara seriously gets the helps she needs and steps out as a reformed person, she has the opportunity to be a role model for young girls who need help. It's about time that Miss USA wasn't flawless, it helps to knock downt he notion that she is "perfect"....and it saves her from having to pose for trashy Penthouse (a move I think she NEVER would have done)....cut her some slack and let's all hope she gets better!

25. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING! Mr. Trump played into the small town big city transition story. Her crocodile tears made me sick... Mr. third time marriage believes in a lot of chances! What an example this man is with his discipline.

28. Who is Miss USA a role model for? He gives a f***. Just brings more attention to his sh*tty pageant that plays second fiddle to Miss America. By sending her to rehab he will get continued publicity. Smart business move.

29. Didn't TMZ already say that their sources knew she was canned? Just proves how accurate these sites really are.

30. Donald Trump has a history of racism. There is no way on earth he would allow an african american Miss USA.
