Tara Conner on Playboy Cover?

As the home office for all things Miss USA, I couldn't help but notice things have been quiet while the poor Kentucky lass has been away in rehab.

Well word today via Page Six says Tara Conner may be in line for a Playboy cover.

January 4, 2007 -- A JOB is waiting when Tara Conner gets out of rehab. Playboy wants to shoot the troubled Miss USA for its cover. Donald Trump and his execs at the Miss Universe Organization are mulling the offer. Conner, who hails from a small town in Kentucky, was nearly stripped of her title after it was alleged she was having sex with sleazy nightclubbing cads who were giving her cocaine. Said an insider, "If Trump allowed her to do it, it would have to be in good taste." Which means she'll keep her top on.

In good taste. But of course.
