Much Ado About Nothing

Amy Polumbo, Miss New Jersey 2007: Some entity calling itself the Committee to Save Miss America forwarded compromising photos of the new Miss New Jersey to the pageant board and also released them to the media. Polumbo hit the "Today" show, "The O'Reilly Factor" and "MSNBC With... more Dan Abrams" to defend the images that, although goofy, depicted no overt sexuality, nudity or floating crosses (see: Miss France). The controversy? Neither controversial nor the least bit titillating. It was such a nonissue that Polumbo's attorney even announced that this was not a (weak) publicity stunt from Polumbo's own camp. Whatever it was, it barely added up to Miss Much Ado About Nothing. (Photo: AP)
