BIO OF THE DAY: MISS USA TARA CONNER

HOLLYWOOD - On April 21, 2006, a worldwide television audience of millions watched as Tara Conner's "biggest dream ever" came true as she was crowned Miss USA 2006 at the conclusion of the 55th annual Miss USA telecast live from Baltimore, Maryland. At the age of 20, the Russell Springs , Kentucky , native is the first woman from Kentucky to win the title of MISS USA®.

"This has been a dream of mine since I was 13 years old," Tara said. She added, “I wish I could remember that night when they crowned me, but I was all coked up and had knocked down a pint of JD right before going on stage, so I don’t remember a thing.”

A business administration major whose dream job is to marry a rich person in Hollywood , Tara says she'd love to be the next Shannon Doherty. A self-described party girl, Tara often goes days without sleeping. She loves clubbing, roofies, lesbian sex, and washing down a Gray’s Papaya hot dog with Grey Goose.

Throughout her year as Miss USA , Tara has traveled all over the U.S. meeting young men and women in after hours clubs. She carries a fake Canadian ID as part of her Miss USA pledge to learn more about other nations. She thinks world peace is a great idea.
