Miss New Jersey Amy Polumbo says someone is threatening to make some personal photographs of her public if she does not give up her crown. She won't say if she is in the buff in the photos. "I don't think the photos are that bad," Polumbo's lawyer, Anthony Caruso said. "The people posting this blackmail scheme are trying to make these photos out to be worse than I think they are."

Not that bad? Then where are they? Caruso said the pictures show her with some friends and some may have been photos that she posted years ago on a private Internet site.Did they reveal skin that a pageant-sanctioned swimsuit would cover up? College students behaving badly, perhaps? Caruso would not say.

The 22-year-old Polumbo won the Miss New Jersey competition last month, giving her the right to compete in the next Miss America competition - wherever and whenever it may be held.
Miss America Organization officials said they were aware of the situation, but it was up to the New Jersey pageant officials to deal with. The local affiliate did not immediately return a message Thursday from The Associated Press. But Caruso said the state competition officials were on board with her trying to fight back.
