THE DREAM OF A MILLION GIRLS WHO ARE MORE THAN PRETTY CAN COME TRUE IN . . . NASHVILLE? Miss America apparently lives to fight another day. Viacom's CMT -- also known as Country Music Television in, I gather, much of the same way that The Game Show Network has become GSN -- has signed an agreement to air the Miss America Pageant through 2007, with options to extend through 2011.

Apparently the pageant will air in January rather than the customary September, which seems not to bode so well for the traditional Atlantic City pageant site. As the producers of any reality TV show are well aware, cold weather is not the appropriate setting for girls in bikinis.

What changes do you expect to see in this most venerable of American institutions? For one thing, I don't think we'll have to sit through a performance by O-Town.
