Vegas nightclub queen arrested

The local Fox affiliate is reporting the arrest of Katie Rees. According to the report:

"Rees was arrested Tuesday night. Investigators said officers pulled her over for a traffic violation and when they attempted to arrest her, she began to elbow and kick at the police."

Rees, who was trying to become Miss USA, was stripped of her title as Miss Nevada after salacious pictures of her emerged. She later became Miss Jet 2007. (Jet is the nightclub at the Mirage.)

During the night of the Miss America pageant, Rees, accompanied by a mini-Donald Trump, was to pass her crown to former Miss USA Tara Conner at Jet. As I reported on the Buffet, Conner's people pulled her at the last moment, sending Jet a note that read in part:

"In no way or manner can Tara be photographed with the Miss Nevada girl or a midget Trump at all. . . . Tara has a wonderful relationship with Mr. Trump and this could easily come off as disrespectful."
