Tux of Borg Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 My Webpage Photo 1 Photo 2 Miss Nevada USA Loses Shirt, Then Title Racy Photos of Katie Rees Found on MySpace.com NEW YORK (Dec. 21) - 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.

eball Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 Go to www.tmz.com -- the photos are censored so they're SFW. Where were these women when I was 17?

Yeah, they've put little starts over the good parts, but chicks kissing is kind of frowned upon by my HR department, methinks.
