Seductive pics surface of new Miss USABy QMI AgencyFrom Miss Michigan to Miss USA — to misconduct.Less than 24 hours after being crowned Miss USA, old photos hit the Internet of Rima Fakih of Michigan sliding seductively down a pole during a Detroit radio station’s student strip-tease competition in July 2007.Fakih, who on Sunday became the first Arab-American to win the Miss USA title, evidently competed in and won Detroit radio’s Mojo in the Morning Stripper 101 pageant. For that victory, Hollywoodgossip.com reports that Fakih was awarded “jewelry, gift cards, adult toys and a stripper pole for home use.”"Rima was our overall winner of the best student Stripper 101," morning show host Mojo told E! News on Monday. "We do it every July. We give away awards for the best pole dancing, the best lap dancing and the best booty shake.“We just got a phone call from some of the people from the pageant. They were kind of insinuating to us that she could be in trouble for doing this contest ... They asked for copies of all the pictures and they wanted the specifics of what happens at the event ... We would hope this wouldn't harm anything as far as her status with the pageant and the upcoming Miss Universe pageant."Fakih would only be the latest controversy-soaked Miss USA finalist, after Tara Conner (2006 winner who entered rehab), Katie Rees (2007 winner dethroned after lewd photos of her were discovered) and Carrie Prejean (2009 first runner-up who offended many by effectively dismissing same-sex marriage).
Well, these sure popped up fast.
