Ward is a former Miss America (1982) who is alleged to have had an affair with Clinton when she was 21. Ward was an accounting major at the University of Arkansas when she won the Miss America crown. Arkansas supporters wearing "razorback" hats, resembling the faces of fat, red pigs, shouted hog calls and encouragement when Ward sang a torchy rendition of "After You've Gone" wearing a glittering peach gown. The 5-foot-9 Ward showed off her classic 36-24-36 figure in a cranberry spandex one-piece and won the swimsuit competition, which she said proved that she was "well-rounded." Ironically, Ward was a Reagan supporter at the time of the alleged affair with Clinton.

Result: Ward has refused to confirm or deny their relationship, but still received an estimated $100,000 for nude photos in "Playboy." But, in the event that Miss Ward is unable to fulfill her duties as Clinton's love muffin, the title goes to the, first runner up...

SHE'S ANYTHING BUT FLAT BROKE: Former Miss America Elizabeth Ward Gracen, who said she had an affair with President Clinton in 1983, has filed for bankruptcy, citing debts allegedly caused by an ex-boyfriend now in jail in France...

... It isn't the first time she's gone belly-up...

AND SHE THOUGHT THE PRESIDENT HAD GREEDY LITTLE PAWS: The New York Post reports that an attorney for actress Elizabeth Ward Gracen says his client spent months eluding a subpoena in the Paula Jones sexual harassment case after an anonymous phone caller advised her of the forthcoming subpoena and urged her to disappear. Miss Gracen, who has since admitted a sexual liaison with Mr. Clinton back when he was governor of Arkansas, accepted the advice and dodged the subpoena by traveling around the country and overseas. Since then, she has received another anonymous call telling her to pipe down or face the wrath of the Internal Revenue Service. Sure enough, the IRS now says she did not file returns and is threatening to seize her wages and property. "She pays her taxes; she's really square," the lawyer, Vincent Vento, told the newspaper. "I don't think anybody wants to take on the government..."

... By her own admission she did take on the government-- in the back seat of a limo...

WARD-ING OFF THE PRESIDENT: From the Canoe Internet site -- Elizabeth Ward Gracen expresses relief over surviving the Clinton sex scandal circus: "I think Clinton is a very dangerous, manipulative man and I've had to be very careful," she says. "There was a lot of pressure on my family and friends, people were being staked out. I was a little bit afraid for my own safety at one point. It's just not an area where you're safe." She pauses, then says, "I would never have said what I just told you a month ago..."

... I think I'd be more afraid of Hillary than of Bill after a fling in his limo, Liz...

Before decamping for Paris, she's hoping the London film festival will screen her first effort as a director, "The Damn Deal," a documentary about three female impersonators. In her film, the men metamorphose into their stage selves, finishing up looking for all the world like prototypical Clinton girls -- big-haired, lipsticked pageant queens. Gracen roars with laughter at the thought. "He'll be after them," she says. "No one's safe..."

... Actually they sound more like Janet Reno...

GRACEN' HIS BACK SEAT: Elizabeth Ward Gracen, a former Miss America who says she had a one-night stand with President Bill Clinton when he was governor of Arkansas has apologized to the first lady. "What I did was wrong, and I feel very, very bad about it now. My behavior was inappropriate -- that's just the bottom line."...

... But the affair does show you how she got that "Miss Congeniality" award...

"It's behavior that I wouldn't recommend to any young women, no matter what degree of glamour or glitter there seems to be at first," Gracen said...

... Yes, who in their right mind would want to go through the daily grind of being a TV star?

DON'T BE SURPRISED IF YOU SEE PAULA JONES: Former Miss America Elizabeth Ward Gracen raised a few eyebrows this month by admitting to a past affair with President Clinton. Now her next project should raise a few more: a documentary about gay businessmen and drag queens in Arkansas. The film, called "The Damn Deal," is in its final editing stage and Gracen plans to enter it into the Toronto Film Festival. She received "a six-figure" sum from an investment firm to pay for promotion and distribution...

... Now that she's the big shot with movie connections, you have sex in HER car...

POLITICAL SCANDALS LAID BARE: Miss America 1982 Elizabeth Ward Gracen, who recently said she had a consensual fling with Bill Clinton, sheds her clothing in May's "Playboy" magazine...

... Making her the first Clinton girlfriend to appear in a magazine other than "Hogs 'n' Heifers"...

THE GIRL NEXT DOOR - OR CURRENTLY HIDING SOMEWHERE IN EUROPE: Ward Gracen told the New York Daily News that she had sex with Bill Clinton when he was governor of Arkansas, but insists it was consensual. Ward Gracen said she came forward to respond to allegations that Clinton forced himself on her. The former Miss America is currently signed to act on the TV drama "Highlander." She says she voted for Clinton and would do so again...

... She feels he's really earned the title Head of State...

In the wake of other sex allegations and the Paula Jones case being thrown out by a Little Rock judge, the White House did not even bother to respond to the account by Gracen...

... That's because this was the first good-lookin' one, and Clinton doesn't want to deny it...

WE KNOW SHE DID WELL IN THE "ORAL" SECTION -- WAS THERE A SWIMSUIT COMPETITION? Ward (now Elizabeth Ward Gracen) stayed in France for the duration of the legal "discovery" process of the Paula Jones case. Now, four months later, USA Today reports Ward Gracen is still dodging a subpoena from Paula Jones' legal team. Attorneys want to question Miss Gracen, a "37-year-old actress and Arkansas native," about whether then-Gov. Bill Clinton "pressured her to have sex with him, whether he arranged jobs and other benefits for her to keep quiet, and whether any of his associates participated in a 'jobs-for-silence' operation," reporter Tom Squitieri said. Miss Gracen, in a voice-mail message in January, told USA Today: "I'm out of the country. I don't want to be a pawn in this whole ugly affair." She left Arkansas just ahead of a subpoena server, and has traveled to Las Vegas, Princeton, N.J., and the Caribbean, the newspaper said. "I do not want to be a party to women being unjustly humiliated in the media and victimized by politicians' agenda," Miss Gracen said in a January call believed to have come from St. Martin. "And when I hang up, I'm on the move to another Caribbean island..."

... Fleeing the country? There goes that "Miss Congeniality" award...

Elizabeth's friend Judy Ann Stokes did testify, however, saying that some time in the mid-1980s Elizabeth "was with Bill Clinton in the back seat of his limousine and that he had come on to her, and she ended up having sex with him." Ward was "very tearful" when she told her the story.

Paula Jones' attorneys says Elizabeth was rewarded with job opportunities in Hollywood in exchange for keeping silent about her affair with Clinton (that's her at left in "Highlander," the TV series -- so much for presidential clout).

... Getting screwed by executives is good practice for working in Hollywood, anyway...
