Miss USA 2006 was given a second chance on Tuesday by billionaire Donald Trump who came close to firing her after reported misbehavior.

Instead, Trump, co-owner of the Miss USA and
Miss Universe contests, said Conner would go into a rehabilitation program for an unspecified problem and would not be stripped of her Miss USA title.
Media reports of blond beauty queen Conner partying at bars and nightclubs in New York -- where the legal drinking age is 21 -- began surfacing last week. The former Miss Kentucky USA turned 21 on Monday.
It was widely expected that Trump, host of the television reality show "The Apprentice," would fire Conner.
