It was the last night on the town for 52 Miss America contestants, and a bootylicious time was had by all.

The pageant's annual girls-night-out dinner at Planet Hollywood was winding down Tuesday when general manager David Tanner decided to turn up the volume.

Chairs and tables were still being cleared to create a dance floor when Tanner, with a mic in hand, got the party started.

The reaction was immediate: Most of the beauty queens jammed the floor to join in "The Electric Slide," Michael Jackson's "Billy Jean" and Toni Basil's "Mickey."

Then Tanner got the biggest reaction of the night. "This song," he said, "is not dedicated to you -- I repeat not."

Squeals erupted as some of the most beautiful women of the world took to heart the words to Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back."

"Shake it! Shake it! Shake that healthy butt!"

Jumping into the action were Planet Hollywood's female servers, who bolted onto the floor, butts first, to join the derriere-a-thon.

The contestants, who were chaperoned, were given their last night off until after Monday's finals, which air on CMT from the Aladdin Theatre.

THE PUNCH LINE

"President Bush addressed the nation tonight. He talked about how we can save energy, how we can still win the war in Iraq, and then gave a beautiful rendition of 'Wind Beneath My Wings.' Randy and Paula were in tears." -- Jimmy Kimmel
