Just hours after Dearborn native Rima Fakih was crowned Miss USA, photos of her pole dancing for a radio contest have hit the Web.
The 24-year-old Fakih won Mojo in the Morning's "Stripper 101" contest back in 2007, according to the station.
The station has posted photos from the event, where Fakih can be seen dancing on a stage fully clothed and later with dollar bills stuffed into her bra.

Miss USA 2010 already being hounded: Rima Fakih pole dancing photos surface
It didn't take long. Miss USA 2010 has held the crown for less than 24 hours, and already the internet is buzzing with Rima Fakih pole dancing photos, thanks to TMZ and a number of other media outlets.
I first noted the posting this morning. TMZ put up a story about Fakih just after 6 a.m., making sure it was the first to dig into her "shady" past. Others followed, and by 9 p.m. Monday the pole dancing photos were the third-hottest search on Google.
People are now claiming Fakih could be in hot water because of the picture.
Please. I'd love to see how many TMZ employees have done something silly at a bar while enjoying a night out with friends. Who among us hasn't gotten a little crazy at times? The photos have nothing to do with her quest to become Miss USA.
It's fascinating to me how many people believe that just because she won a public contest her past is suddenly fair game. What she did as a young 20-something or teenager has no bearing on her worth as a Miss USA. The argument that the pictures somehow taint her winning or make her an inappropriate crown holder is downright laughable.
Had she been hiding a record for drugs or violence or drunk driving it would be something else entirely. But since when is it illegal to enjoy a few drinks with friends and take part in a local bar competition. If that kind of act were prohibited every college kid in America would be bored to tears and every bar would be struggling to survive.
So yeah, Rima Fakih did some on-stage pole dancing a few years back. And Sunday night she was crowned Miss USA.
The two items are mutually exclusive, and should be kept that way.

Miss USA 2010 Winner Rima Fakih: Pole Dancing Pictures Surface
Not only has Rima Fakih been crowned the new Miss USA 2010, which guarantees a run on every video or picture that has ever been taken of her, but it guarantees that anything even marginally embarrassing will make headlines — like pictures of the 24-year-old winning a pole dancing competition. Miss Michigan USA Rima Fakih hadn’t been Miss USA 2010 for a dozen hours when TMZ revealed part of her past for a national audience. The Detroit morning radio show “Mojo In The Morning” were on the story as well, since they were the original sponsors of the pole dancing championship — called “Stripper 101″ — that Rima Fakih won.
Back in 2007, long before she was Miss Michigan USA, a younger Rima Fatih decided to enter a local pole dancing contest. Dressed in blazing red shorts and a light blue spaghetti-strapped top, the beautiful brunette rubbed, caressed, slid up and down, grabbed and danced around a stripper’s pole so well that she walked away with the “Stripper 101″ championship. Not only did she win the title, she also won jewelry, gift cards, adult toys, and, best of all, a stripper’s pole for some home pole dancing.
A pole dancing competition or not, Rima Fakih won without actually stripping. She took no clothes off and was still declared the winner. The pictures posted on the “Mojo In The Morning” website attest to this. They also show that, even though there was no prize money, Rima Fakih impressed enough and was sexy enough that she was rewarded in the traditional method of strip bar patrons — a slew of dollar bills. One picture shows quite a few feathering up out of her top.
Some are calling it scandalous. Others are calling it fun being had by a young woman. Regardless, the “Stripper 101″ pole dancing competition and the pictures of it seem hardly enough to cause any damage to the Miss USA 2o10 winner. But we shall see…
