Nevada pageant queen loses title
Miss Nevada USA was stripped of her title 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.
Rees’ dismissal came two days after Miss USA Tara Conner was allowed to keep her tiara when she agreed to go into alcohol rehab, and a day after an anti-drunken-driving group cut its ties with the hard-partying Miss Teen USA Katie Blair.
