Tara Conner, the rehabbed Mess USA, appeared at a function for the Trump Organization yesterday looking VERY beautiful, professional and sober.

It’s nice to see someone in the spotlight walk the walk for once!

Way to set a good example, Tara. You look FAB!

You know what the world really needs?

Another book about rehab.

Tara Conner’s stepped up to the task. She told Matt Lauer on the Today Show that she’ll be penning a book about her experience before, during, and after her rehab stay.

Tara’s been sober over a year now, since Donald Trump sentenced her to rehab after Miss Teen USA brutally sold her ass out for snorting coke on the job.

Congrats to Tara for staying sober for a year. Maybe I shouldn’t poke fun — here’s a Miss USA who’s very publicly setting a positive example for real girls with real problems. Way to go, Tara.

OMG!

THIS GIRL MUST BE DRINKING AGAIN!!!!

Mess USA Tara Conner was spotted entering and leaving Hyde with Laguna Beach alum Talan Torriero, who was once briefly engaged to Kim Stewart.

Does this kid have a 12-inch dick?

Seriously, what the fuck is up with this? He’s not that attractive, people. He looks kinda like a goober to me.

I love how the Miss USA people are acting like they are so brave standing by the drug addict chick. Guys, do you think we don’t know that she’s the only press you’ve gotten in years?

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) — …Organizers say will spotlight how reigning titleholder Tara Conner nearly lost her crown and ended up in rehab.

“Certainly, our reigning Miss USA is going to be on television and we’re certainly not going to shy away from referring to what happened,” executive producer Phil Gurin told The Associated Press on Monday. “Why shy away from what’s part of our family? We embrace our family.”

Translation: “She’s now our “family” because every news outlet in the world mentioned the fact that the Miss USA pageant still exists. Hell, we might ask the next Miss USA to participate in a gang bang as part of her contract.”

Sour grapes much, ladies? Envy isn’t a good look on you.

The disgraced Miss USA — who entered rehab almost a month ago at the request of Donald Trump, who runs the Miss Universe organization, after allegations of inappropriate behavior surfaced — checked out this weekend, and gave People magazine some killer quotes.

“My life has completely changed, she says. “I’m a completely different person out of rehab. Before I entered rehab I hardly knew who I was. I felt like I was floating and I just needed someone to pull me down. I didn’t think I had any kind of issue going into rehab. But I’ve realized I do have an issue. I suffer from the disease of alcoholism and addiction. And if there’s anything that I want people to know it’s the severity of this disease and what it can do to people.”

Whatever the path she took to get there, I’m glad that Tara has decided to speak publicly about her struggles with addiction, and hopefully she can set a positive example for young people everywhere who struggle with the disease. Unlike a certain other celeb in rehab, Tara kept her ass in a treatment center and away from photogs during her 31-day stay, worked a program, and emerged to share her experience with others. Way to go, Tara!
