Another Beauty Queen Bites the Dust

First it was Tara Conner and her partying, which put her Miss USA crown in jeopardy (and sparked the never-ending Rosie and Trump debate). Next, Miss Nevada, Katie Rees, gets photographed doing naughty things and ends up losing her crown. Now it's Miss New Jersey, Ashley Harder who has given up her crown because she is pregnant, according to the Star-Telegram.

Harder, who was crowned in October, is 20 years old and says that she resigned because the pageant rules do not allow her to be pregnant and Miss New Jersey at the same time. The baby is due in "late summer" and Harder "plans to marry her live-in boyfriend."
