[edit] save videos?

does anyone know how to save the tara conner videos on the MISS USA website

I think webmaster has the MUO pageant websites set so no one can save the videos. I've tried right clicking on them and have been unsuccessful.

I'm sure the webmaster did that on purpose, so what you are asking here is how can you pirate the videos, for which you won't find help here. But if you want to use an open video, try finding something on YouTube. -- Ubergenius 19:41, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] birthdate

TARA'S BIRTHDAY IS DEC 18 1985. SHE WAS NOT BORN IN 1986.

Where is the source for that? 18:15, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Since when is a source needed? I know that her birthday is on Dec. 18, 1985. I don't need a source or that. But while we're on sources, where's your source that says she was born in 1986?

LOL, got a point there. --Haizum μολὼν λαβέ 09:27, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, you need a source for everything concrete, and this shouldn't be something hard to find. For instance, a quick Google search finds several dozen articles stating that her 21st birthday was JUST celebrated:

"Some reports even claim the 21 year old (she had her 21st birthday yesterday)..." 1

"The beauty (who turned 21 this week) was reportedly..." 2

...etc., therefore making her birth year 1985. Problem solved, BUT, most importantly, with sources. -- Ubergenius 16:33, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] modelling?

Perhaps a section should be added concerning Conner's work as a model in general, instead of just Miss USA. --Guitar.bob 04:40, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Information to be added

From The O'Reilly Factor:

Body language expert Tonya Reiman again joined The Factor to analyze some recent appearances by public figures. Reiman watched a tape of Donald Trump as he "forgave" Miss USA Tara Conner. "He is such a big gesticulator," Reiman observed. "He really feels powerful, and this is expressing his superiority. He's trying to prove to us that he's feeling sincere about this, and he looks like he believes it."

[edit] Controversy section

The controversy section seems a little too large now. It's cited all right - but it's comprised mainly of regular updates. A paragraph of several sentences about the allegations and some of the fallout should suffice. --Jtalledo (talk) 01:56, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

This spoof of the Donald Trump/ Tara Conner press conference should be added: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LO2-eayMkSg This was done by Waco O'Guin from Stankervision and The DAMN! Show. Some humor needs to be added to this page! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Damnshow (talk • contribs) 02:20, January 6, 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sources pre-2006

Just a note that I have not been able to find any specific sources on Tara prior to her becoming Miss USA (apart from the general press release announcing the Teen USA winners etc). I have tried Factiva and Google News Archive but no luck with either of them. The Kentucky directors aren't that great at getting their girls "out there" so I doubt that there are any to be found. -- PageantUpdater • talk | contribs | esperanza 23:08, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
