Rumors are swirling that the current Miss USA Tara Conner may be dethroned due to some "behavioral and personal issues" that have apparently upset Miss USA organizers and Donald Trump, who co-owns the Miss Universe Organization with NBC. TMZ.com reported that the Donald’s staff and NBC met Tuesday to discuss Conner's alleged bad behavior, "including her conduct at New York City bars If Conner is dethroned her title will be passed on to runner up Tamiko Nash. According to Nash’s Web site bio, she is the 3rd African-American to hold the Miss California title in its history. She won the crown on September 11, 2005 in Palm Springs, California at the Riviera Resort and Racquet Club. She earned her B.S. in Child and Family Development from San Diego State University. Upon graduation, she served as an elementary school teacher at Birdrock Elementary in La Jolla, California. Nash is a native of Los Angeles and currently works for The Recording Academy known worldwide for its Grammy Awards. As Miss California, her platform was to raise awareness on behalf of The Beauty of California, a state initiative inaugurated by K2 Productions, Inc. that recognizes the diversity and spirit of California.
