I'm not sure what being a theater major has to do with posting pics on the 'net of a guy biting your boobies.

Yep. She's tacky enough to be a Miss New Jersey.

Good Lord--if these photos are what now pass for "scandalous" I am in some serious shit.

seriously, she's miss new jersey for christ's sake! to expect jackie o or audrey hepburn type elegance out of any garden state pageant broad is completely unreasonable.

Frankly, I don't think it's appropriate for a pageant queen to have breasts at all.

@the cajun boy: Alright, Louisiana.

Supposedly it was the QUOTES not the photos that were scandalous - Matt was nice enough to let her leave those out of the shots. But she is very Reese Witherspoon so I love her!

OH MY GOD. If I had to explain my "worst" Facebook photos on the fucking Today Show, I would die of embarassment. Wouldn't we all?
"That's me... smoking pot out of Pepsi two-liter bottle. See, we didn't have a pipe, or any papers. You know how that goes, right Matt?"
"That's me, mock-fellating a cucumber on the corner of 5th St. and First Ave. No, no I'm not a prosititute."
"And yep, that's me again, drinking from a bottle of Wild Turkey witha straw and showing my left breast. Yes Matt. That's a breast."

I like to bite boobies when I'm being silly and immature, too.

Guys, this is MISS NEW JERSEY. You were expecting tact, perhaps?

@OhBilly: i've never claimed that we cajuns are any better. hell, we invented this sort of debauchery!

If the Little Miss Sunshine judges are scandalized by these photos, wait till the see her "Super Freak" dance during the talent competition.

"We're crazy - we act out SNL skits all the time."

It was her "Lothar of the Hill People" that won her the title.

That's fucking it?

What's far more troubling is that her poor friends must be constantly bumping into everything.

I'm in love with a Jersey Girl...

@KarenUhOh: As they are mere servants to Her Royal Trentoness, their eyes have been blinded and blackened, lest they see upon which tit they bite.

I wonder what Matt's quid pro quo was to get this interview.

I totally thought they were going to be Racism Party Photos...
@Twizzlers For President: Maybe Gawker's new contest should be "Submit the Facebook Photos That Would Make Matt Lauer Cry" and then have to explain them. "Well Matt, the male stripper was SURPRISE for my 21st birthday. I wasn't the one who ordered him, I thought he was a REAL police officer! I made the mistake of allowing cameras in, and I do apologize for that."

I'm beginning to think that this is nothing more than a strategic (or, more accurately, "strategic") career move on the part of Miz NJ. As she (repeatedly) says during the interview, she is an actress/singer/whatever. When else is a state beauty queen who has no shot at actually winning the pageant going to be interviewed on "The Today Show"? While the "Committee to Save Miss America" is clearly a crackerjack outfit, no one can think those photos (or quotes, I am guessing) are worthy of losing her title.

This is the most pathetic display of the puritanical morality police on parade EVER. I mean, really. Pageant girls wear fucking swimsuits to get judged on their half-naked bodies. Has anyone ever brought this up?

She has a flavor?

Miss Nevada's "dirty" pix were much much better. And she was only 17 when her's were taken!

Does Matt Lauer even realize how retarded he's become?

Those were some pretty timid shots of underage drinking. Next.

I love the look on her face like "What can I do? He's a tittie-biter!"

But where are the photos of her entering a tanning salon and getting some nail tips put on? That's Jersey.

@collegecallgirl: The answer to her rhetorical question is actually three words: "Twist the SACK!"

Props to her; she just had Matt Lauer say "it shows him playfully, you know, biting your breast" to her on national TV, and she didn't miss a beat.

Bitch, please. Clearly you haven't seen my baby shower pics.

It's kind of funny that the definition of keeping something private today is posting it on Facebook, but with a password.
Especially since anyone can tell that her password is probably "Sondheim."

Boob-chewing is erotic? Holy shit, call Cosmo. Maybe it's not too late to make the list. I heard that chicks really dig it when you clamp down like a white shark in a feeding frenzy.

And yes, MediaHoHoHo, I think he does realize that he is the biggest joke on television next to Nancy Grace. He became the official Today Show eunuch when Ann Curry chewed his balls off and spit them down the toilet

@fletch(er)That crossed my mind as well. Plus I read that her Miss America platform is internet safety. How (manipulatively?) ironic. The pictures were posted on her Facebook account so they were already out there and now she is putting them out there again, but this time on national tv. It would be a better story if her shirt was as transparent as this scheme.

@collegecallgirl: Totally. The shrugged shoulder tells me "This happens ALL the time. Sigh. What's a girl to do?"

What self-respecting theater major doesn't let the gays play with her boobs?

@Fletch(er): Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner. Couldn't have said it better myself, Fletch(er). What's the over/under on her spread in Playboy? I say next April.

@the cajun boy:
Awesomist would have so done her. And offered ratings on her friends. You're right, I do miss him.

How many fucking times does she have to say she was 21 in the drinking pictures? Is Matt Lauer deaf? Who was that sittiing next to her, her lawyer? WTF?

A few conclusions should be drawn: 1) Matt Lauer is a national embarrassment, and, more importantly, 2) The Miss America Organization (known as MAO to insiders, no shit) is a gutless organization run by socially retarded, cruel, craven and greedy bastards who have no problem letting a young woman twist in the wind and suffer great humiliation when this bullshit happens. They never, never, never step up and say, "Leave her alone," when these things happen.

I know Rebekah Revels (you might remember her brief reign as Miss North Carolina) and she has never recovered from the humiliation of her scandal. She once said to me, that she kept waiting for someone from MAO to say something nice, or to stick up for her, and it never happened.

However, coincidentally, she DID say that the only pageant contestant who would sit with her and encourage her during that awful pageant was Miss New Jersey, who basically told her that the rest of the girls and the pageant could go fuck themselves.

I can haz boobie?

You can tell that Matt Lauer wants to bite her titty too.

Well if anyone saw the abomination involving Matt Lauer and the two British princes, none of this should be a surprise. After that one I think he reflected back on his "mates in the pub" comment and said to himself, "Seamless, Matty. Seamless."

@tessielou:

Agreed. I suspected all along that she just made all of this up for the publicity. Now that she's "voluntarily revealed" the supposedly "scandolous" pics, I'm convinced of it.

Of course the pictures turned out to be totally tame. But look who's on the Today Show?

Scandalous, I mean. Damn.

Bite my tit. I'm not asking, I'm telling with this. Bite my tit.

@thenwemadeout: Couldn't have said it better myself.

The only thing funnier (read: dumber, more disturbing, "WTF is wrong with you people, why are you so stupid, STFU?!" than the MSM actually making a story of a 22 year old beauty queen with raunchy facebook photos is....CHILD BEAUTY PAGEANTS! Yes, let's teach our little girls early--your worth is measured by how look your prepubescent body looks in a bikini, coated in self-tanner.

Unless she's eating puppies or babies or committing violent crimes in the photos...why do we care?

Funny this was on Facebook; most of those people in those photos don't have faces.

@NotAndersonCooper: this is SO right up his alley.

(he sighs)

I like her! Yay New Jersey. This reminds me of this article written by fellow NY comedian/Jersey Girl Margot Leitman: [www.hellohilarious.com]
"Our Nation's Attack on the Party Girl"

Beauty pageants don't function despite these scandals; they require them. They are highly stylized ritual dramas of humiliation of women, a ballet of control and surveillance. The subtext is a public "deflowering" of the contestants. This is the reason they culminate in a swimsuit parade, but punish any revelation of nudity, drinking, fun etc. before the contest itself. Also why the scandal part of the ritual has become more important as women become more liberated. They broadcast a low-frequency message of vulnerability that requires the purchase of cosmetics and diet formulas. I'm glad I'm not a girl.

@ToadAway: yeah, what he said. Except I'm a girl.

How much plastic surgery did this girl get? In the picture, she looks like any other filthy Jersey girl but now, she looks like any other pageant girl.

Runner-up is on MSNBC right now. And is PISSED.

@nigerienne: Wow. So someone left you for a Jersey girl, huh?

It would be more scandalous if they had a picture of her parking in a handicapped space. Glad the Today show is still on the cutting edge of meaningful content.

@concerned citizen: No, but I live with a Jersey girl who manages to outdo even the worst stereotypes in spite of a $200K education. They look alike actually, except that would be a Gucci/LV top and instead of a boyfriend, it'd be a random guy sucking at her tit...with the shirt pulled aside. She's at home now. I assume she's strolling the shore in her Burberry bikini. Or maybe it's Juicy Couture weekend.

As I was telling my therapist during an emergency session, I stopped caring for her and the state of NJ after inadvertently stepping on her used condom. Did I mention that this was on our kitchen floor?

I was expecting gang bangs, double (triple?) penetration and a stoned naked midget on a donkey. This is NOTHING.

umm Lovely Nigerienne- Amy has NEVER had plastic surgery. So I don't know why you think she looks so different in the pictures. I've known her since elementary school, and she never even had braces. gosh you are rude. You don't even know the real Amy, and I am fortunate enough to know she is a kind hearted individual. Get a life!

And just for the record- sh
