The Whirlwind Life of Miss America Lauren Nelson


Newly-crowned Miss America 2007, Lauren Nelson turns into an overnight TV star this week. She flew from Vegas directly to meet with Diane Sawyer and the Good Morning America team yesterday, followed immediately by appearing with Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa on 'Live with Regis and Kelly.'

With literally no time to breathe, Nelson was on another plane for last night's appearance on Larry King, while competing with herself on a taped interview on rival MSNBC's Scarborough Country. The media blitz continues today back in New York on Fox & Friends, followed again immediately on Fox's new 'Mike and Juliet Morning Show.' Tomorrow the frenzied pace continues with another national TV appearance on the CW morning News followed by a satellite cross-country radio tour. Whew, and that's only the first four days of her reign!
