Trump bringing Pageant Place to MTV

tara connerTrump is pure energy, and he cannot be destroyed.

That's the only explanation I can come with as to why the man will not leave my television. Now that The Apprentice is through, the Donald is developing yet another reality series, this time for MTV.

The new series, Pageant Place, will feature former Miss USA Tara Conner (whom Trump forgave for her "party girl" lifestyle that almost cost her the crown) sharing an apartment with several beauty pageant winners (Miss Universe Riyo Mori, Miss USA Rachel Smith and Miss Teen USA Katie Blair) as she teaches them how to behave like proper pageant winners. New beauty queens will replace the old ones as the series progresses through its eight-episode order. I just hope Conner and Blair can keep their hands off one another.

The series is expected to debut on MTV sometime later this year.

Conner to host new version of Singled Out?

tara connerRumors are abound that former Miss USA Tara Conner may be hosting an updated version of Singled Out, the popular match-making game that aired on MTV in the '90s and was hosted by Jenny McCarthy and Chris Hardwick (Carmen Electra later took McCarthy's place on the series). The original series had a group of fifty men and fifty women who were slowly whittled down to one person based on the preferences of the contestant, who could not see the other players.

All we know right now is that Conner has been chosen for a new project at MTV. Whether or not it's an updated version of Singled Out is unknown.

Miss USA takes it off ... should we crown Sanjaya?

Tara Conner takes off her crown. Tara Conner you have made yourself quite a presence as Miss USA in the last year. If any of us in the television world had forgotten, you were the tinder that caused the fire between your maker Donald Trump and Rosie O'Donnell.

It wouldn't have been a reign without having an opportunity to watch you take it off. The crown that is.

In a highly orchestrated voice over, written by a devoted Trump employee, you gave us a small reminder that the Miss USA competition is tantamount to mob rule, where the boss is truly boss...

TV's Top 5!: Don't name your daughter Tara or Tyra

Tyra Banks is mad at youTyra Banks you are fat. Boo Hoo.

If that's fat, then I am too, but I don't wear tacky swimsuits...

It seems like karma is hitting models in the derriere. Some have bigger ones than others and like to slap them on their syndicated talk shows. After years of inspiring legions of young women to starve themselves to attain that stick figure physique, why are you fake crying now? Did you think we'd conveniently forget that you've made your career pushing the skinny ideal in your career and on the career of others on America's Next Top Model? If you truly wanted to change the perception of American media, you would have let Toccarra win her cycle. We know that didn't happen.

But please, Ms. Bankable Productions. Spare me your disingenuous tears...

It's Trump vs. Rosie and I still don't care

donald trump; rosie o'donnellDonald Trump, get in line! Rosie O'Donnell shot off her mouth about the whole Miss USA debacle on Wednesday morning and now Donald Trump is threatening to sue her. On The View, Rosie called him a "snake-oil salesman" for not ripping the crown away from the drinking and partying Miss USA Tara Conner. She also called his marital history into question, claimed he was bankrupt and said he isn't a good example for 20-year olds. Trump said he's going to sue her for talking about his financial status and said, "I look forward to taking lots of money from my nice fat little Rosie."

First of all, I think that Trump is just jumping on the Rosie-bashing bandwagon so he can get some headlines in advance of the upcoming season of The Apprentice (damn! it worked!). Second, I think everyone just needs to ignore Rosie. Maybe if we do that, she'll just go away. What she says doesn't matter anyway.

*Update: Rosie responds.

On a related (and hilariously pathetic) note, Omarosa has weighed in on Trump giving Miss USA a second chance.

Who cares about Miss USA?

MIss USAI've been amazed at the attention this whole Miss USA story is getting. It just proves once again how disgusting the gossip TV shows are, and how lame cable news is.

First off, the press conference that she held with Donald Trump (owner of the pageant) was broadcast live as BREAKING NEWS on the cable networks. At first I thought the Donald had used his hair to sled down Mt. Hood and rescue those guys, but that's another breaking news story. No, this news conference was to announce that...um, hot blonde chicks sometimes drink a lot and dance and party in New York City and do drugs. But she's sorry! And she thanks God for helping her! But mostly she thanks Donald Trump for letting her keep her crown. (Side note: can someone please tell me why Trump is always yelling? Whether it's this press conference or those PSAs for families he does on NBC, he's always yelling. He does know there's a microphone in front of him, right?)
