NEW YORK - Miss Nevada USA Katie Rees is not getting her tiara back after losing it because she appeared in a slew of prurient pictures — and that's final, pageant officials said Friday in response to speculation stirred up by pageant co-owner Donald Trump.

"The Miss Universe Organization has thoroughly considered the request of Ms. Katie Rees to be reinstated as Miss Nevada USA 2007," Paula M. Shugart, president of the Miss Universe Organization, said in a statement released to The Associated Press. "In light of the serious nature of the circumstances, there is no recourse but to stand by our decision."

Trump, who owns the Miss Universe Organization and Miss USA with NBC, told the television show "Extra" in a segment broadcast Thursday that he was looking at the Dec. 21 decision to fire Rees, fueling buzz that the beauty queen might be reinstated.

Rees was stripped of her title after racy photos of her appeared on the Internet. Some of the photos showed 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' lawyer had also asked that his client be given a second chance similar to the one recently given to Miss USA Tara Conner, who was caught drinking in New York bars when she was still underage.

Trump decided to allow Conner to remain Miss USA after she agreed to go into rehab and undergo drug testing.

man its a shame. but still i don't think corner should even get another chance. trump is being kind hearted or something. ever he own the company that doesn't matter a mistake is mistake... but for ress man.. that is over doing and still asking for another chance.. if she know that would happen she shouldn't have done it.

Hmmm...I guess Miss Nevada seeing that Donald gave Miss USA a second chance she was hoping she could also get a second chance. It seems to me tho that Miss Nevada's case is more severe than that of miss USA. Well it's final she won't be getting another chance.

She doesn't deserve a second chance, she brought it upon herself and so why give her another chance when she was aware of what she was doing before she got drunk?

It's too bad there's no celebrated rehab for exposing boobies, or she could have saved her title also.

that's just too bad, it just shows that ppl have to be very careful with pictures because it can be posted on the web for all the world to see
if it was posted after she won then that was very cruel of the person/people who posted them

People with titles like Miss Nevada or USA or whatever... aren't they supposed to represent a good role model to the public?

Agree, probably those judges and stricter guidelines should imposed too, the girls are wrong, and those judges choosing the wrong one!!!

Personally, I think it is unfair for anyone to strip off their title due to their past behaviour. The photo had been taking few years back. Then, maybe they should have stated in their competition rules before this unless the contestant affected will not be satisfied by such decision.
