Conner graduated from Russell County High School in 2004 and at the time of her Miss USA win was studying toward a degree in Business Administration from Somerset Community College.

Apart from her role as Miss USA, Conner has been employed as a model and waitress. She was a featured model on the HDNet series Bikini Destinations in 2004, posing for the cameras in Lake Tahoe. She has held the titles Miss Kentucky Teen USA 2002, Miss Kentucky USA 2006 and Miss USA 2006.

In late 2006, Conner became the center of a public scandal, but was ultimately allowed to retain her crown as Miss USA. News reports claim she had been drinking underage, tested positive for the use of cocaine, and kissed Miss Teen USA Katie Blair in public, among other things.

Immediately following her pageant win, Conner moved into a Trump Place apartment that she will share with sister tittieholders, Zuleyka Rivera (Miss Universe 2006) and her make out partner Katie (Miss Teen USA 2006) during her reign.  NICE!!!

Latest News: 

Sources connected with the pageant told TMZ that both "Oprah" and the "Today" show battled hard to land Tara's first post-rehab appearance and "Today" won.

Apparently Tara chose "Today" because the interview would be all about her -- but on "Oprah," she would have to share the stage with The Donald and others. Me, Me, Me...!!!
