Miss America 2011: It happens all the time: Casual fans think Miss U.S.A. and Miss America. Is one in the same? I'll set the record straight: they are not even close. Yes, it is true; in both competitions attractive young women are presented tiaras, a title, roses and scholarships. And they are judged in evening gown and swimsuit attire, and they reply tough questions in front of a panel of judges. But Sunday night's Miss America. Competition, which was acquired by Miss California Alyssa Campanella, is the Donald Trump-owned pageant i.e. best known for creating controversies. Anybody remember Miss America Tara Connor from 2006, which entered rehab because of reported drug and alcohol troubles. (Trump allowed her to maintain her title.) And Miss California Carrie Prejean received national attention in 2009 when she told judge/blogger Perez Hilton that marriage should be between a man and a woman. She was 1st runner-up. Even the outgoing Miss U.S.A. Rima Fakih made her missteps and ascertained herself defending her actions. Shortly later winning her crown, a video surfaced of her competing in a stripper pole contest. And a lot of freshly she was investigated for excessive partying and missing interviews. The former Miss Michigan said she's learned a lot from the experience. I think I have grown so much this year. I am proud to say that I'm giving up my crown on June 19 and I still have the crown," Fakih told "Good Morning U.S.A." Robin Roberts. Miss America., which debuted in 1952, is a qualifier for Miss Universe. As for Miss U.S.A., this is the show we all know and love from Bert Parks’s days. It debuted in 1921 and now is best known for its scholarships. On Saturday, a new Miss Michigan was crowned (Elizabeth Wertenberger).
