MOUNT LAUREL, N.J. — It's not so much the photos that trouble Miss New Jersey; it's the words that someone put with them.

Miss New Jersey, 22-year-old Amy Polumbo, announced Thursday that someone was trying to blackmail her with old photographs and a demand that she give up her crown by Friday. Her refusal to give in and speculation about the photos made her a star of the moment — at least in the world of tabloid newspapers and Internet gossip blogs.
