2010 Miss USA lingerie pictures: Donald Trump weighs in

No matter which side you take on the appropriateness of the Miss USA lingerie pictures, you have to admit it's caught the attention of the American public.

And that's just the way publicity-hound and controversy-magnet Donald Trump, owner of the Miss USA franchise, likes it. Never shy about sharing his thoughts, The Donald dished about the so-called "scandal" surrounding the scantily clad beauty pageant contestants during Ryan Seacrest's radio show Monday (May 10).

"I think they've gone maybe a little over the top this year. These pictures are pretty wild," said Trump, being sure to add, "But the girls are incredible."

NBC surely hopes to benefit from the buzz generated over the super sexy photos (Miss Ohio featured above) when the pageant airs this Sunday (May 16).
