Fox asked Miss Philippines if she would change her religion to marry someone she loves.<br /><br />Fox: “Would you change your religious beliefs to marry the person you love? Why or why not? “<br /><br />Shamcey, still looking confident and relaxed says she won’t because if the person loves her, he’d love her God , too Supsup:<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">” If I had to change my religious beliefs, I will not marry the person that I love. Because the first person that I love is GOD who created me. And I have my faith and my principles. And these what makes me who I am. And if that person loves me, he should love my God too, Thank you.”</span><br /><br />Truly, Supsup has shown to the world how strong our faith is. She has proven that the beauty of the Filipina is not only in the flesh but also in spirit. Though uncrowned, the title doesn’t matter, it is how she represented our country and how she made us very proud.missworldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02333545064353562825noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011183925097015923.post-35536240235924058082011-09-13T01:00:00.000-07:002011-09-13T06:03:36.508-07:00Miss Angola is Miss Universe 2011!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMTbCwPXu_tUWANwW_b3B_yrFxR9efk9t5fQYPuMulLo-BkACnHLCxkigkjp317-OUH21ZyDpayt_66BlHNLjnqE5yOeqctf8lORQEcBbKi698QE9d1L4qL8Cz-EvChASw6uq0XUFDk9Hu/s1600/Miss+Angola+is+Miss+Universe+2011%2521%2521.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMTbCwPXu_tUWANwW_b3B_yrFxR9efk9t5fQYPuMulLo-BkACnHLCxkigkjp317-OUH21ZyDpayt_66BlHNLjnqE5yOeqctf8lORQEcBbKi698QE9d1L4qL8Cz-EvChASw6uq0XUFDk9Hu/s400/Miss+Angola+is+Miss+Universe+2011%2521%2521.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651828909031851362" border="0" /></a>Leila Lopes from Angola was crowned Miss Universe Monday night. She became Africa’s 4th Miss Universe, and the 1st black woman to win the crown since 1999.<br /><br />Lopes beat out 88 other competitors to win the title during the 60th anniversary of Miss Universe. She replaces last year’s winner, Ximena Navarrete of Mexico.<br /><br />“Thank God I’m very satisfied with the way God created me and I wouldn’t change a thing,” Lopes said when asked her interview question. “I consider myself a woman endowed with inner beauty. I have acquired many wonderful principals from my family and I intend to follow these for the rest of my life.”<br /><br />The first runner-up was 23-year-old Olesia Stefanko of Ukraine and the second runner-up was Priscila Machado of Brazil. The third was Miss Philippines, and the fourth Miss China.<br /><br />In the top 10, were the representatives of Australia, France, Costa Rica, Panama, and Portugal.<br /><br />Completing the group of 15 quarter-finalists, we had the candidates of Puerto Rico, USA, Kosovo, Netherlands, Colombia and Venezuela.<br /><br />Miss Panama was the winner of the Best National Costume Award; Miss Montenegro was voted Miss Congeniality; and Miss Sweden was elected Miss Photogenic.<br /><br />The biggest shock of the night was the early elimination of Miss Malaysia, Deborah Henry, considered by many one of the top favorites for the crown. Other favorites left out, were Misses Greece, Trinidad & Tobago, Nicaragua, Spain, and Aruba.<br /><br />Among those who made it, the main surprises were Misses Panama and Portugal. It was the first time in 60 years of history that Portugal advanced to Miss Universe’s semi-finals.<br /><br />The pageant was hosted by NBC “Today” anchor Natalie Morales and the Bravo network’s Andy Cohen. Among the celebrities in the jury, Connie Chung, supermodel Isabeli Fontana and Indy race car driver Helio Castroneves.<br /><br />Brazilian pop stars Claudia Leitte and Bebel Gilberto performed during the event.<br /><br />Miss Angola, Leila Lopes, was a favorite since she arrived in Brazil. She was actually prepared for the pageant in Brazil.

The pageant appeared on my radar Friday afternoon when Bora Zivkovic tweeted that the Miss USA pageant contestants had been asked a science-related question, “Should evolution be taught in schools?”<br /><br />Subsequently, much of the internet chatter focused on the contestants from states known for their anti-evolution policies such as Kansas, Texas and Kentucky. I decided to go the other route and find out which of these women supported the teaching of evolution. I was disheartened to find that only a few of them really understood the issue. Many were apparently unaware that evolution is currently taught in schools. And, most of them thought creationism or “the other side” should be taught, as well.<br /><br />The pre-pageant interviews revealed how much work remains to be done in order to improve science literacy in America. However, Campanella’s answer demonstrated that she possesses a respectable appreciation and understanding of science.<br /><br />Her forthright and honest, not to mention scientifically accurate, answer established her geek status even before the pageant. She reinforced her geek credentials during the pageant by deftly answering a question about whether the U.S. should legalize the use of marijuana:<br /><br /> “Well, I understand why that question would be asked, especially with today’s economy, but I also understand that medical marijuana is very important to help those who need it medically,” she said.<br /><br /> “I’m not sure if it should be legalized, if it would really affect, with the drug war,” she said. “I mean, it’s abused today, unfortunately, so that’s the only reason why I would kind of be a little bit against it, but medically it’s OK.”<br /><br />I believe in Campanella we will have a science ambassador representing us in the Miss Universe pageant come September and you better believe I’ll be supporting her. My only hope is that someone will get her to talk about science a little more so the next generation will know that beauty and intelligence are one and the same.missworldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02333545064353562825noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011183925097015923.post-16204190969694017752011-06-19T20:28:00.000-07:002011-06-28T15:33:01.510-07:00Miss USA 2011 winner: Alyssa Campanella of California<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2ekEYifwqO3yX1_cQUQcMzWXTe7-GU91Ctr6Say5-S9HWNie7dit0nh4m_werb-i_G6fqgDU0OtxxttLcEzH3ojbGmuv9rJ3Anj58nSRnm9IKCOrFNm5Y8bY2E6uz0vvBVG2FOBK0nlfg/s1600/Alyssa+Campanella.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 181px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2ekEYifwqO3yX1_cQUQcMzWXTe7-GU91Ctr6Say5-S9HWNie7dit0nh4m_werb-i_G6fqgDU0OtxxttLcEzH3ojbGmuv9rJ3Anj58nSRnm9IKCOrFNm5Y8bY2E6uz0vvBVG2FOBK0nlfg/s320/Alyssa+Campanella.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623402071586855010" border="0" /></a>Alyssa Campanella, a 21-year-old auburn-haired California girl, won the Miss USA crown on Sunday night.<br /><br />Campanella, who is from Los Angeles, topped a field of 51 beauty queens to take the title at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. She will represent the nation in this year's Miss Universe pageant in September in Brazil.<br /><br />Campanella won after strutting across the stage in a blue bikini with white polka dots and a dark turquoise evening gown with beading on its top.<br /><br />She also answered a question about legalizing marijuana by saying she didn't think it should be fully legalized as a solution to help ailing economies.<br /><br />"Well, I understand why that question would be asked, especially with today's economy, but I also understand that medical marijuana is very important to help those who need it medically," she said. "I'm not sure if it should be legalized, if it would really affect, with the drug war.

Contestants from Alabama and Texas placed third and fourth.<br /><br />The ceremony was hosted by TV personalities Andy Cohen and Giuliana Rancic.<br /><br />"Fashion Police" hosts Kelly Osbourne and Susie Castillo provided fashion commentary throughout the pageant, while the judging panel included "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Caroline Manzo, TV chef Rocco DiSpirito, Dallas Mavericks star Tyson Chandler and rapper Lil Jon.<br /><br />Campanella replaces Miss USA 2010 Rima Fakih. The Michigan woman teared up as she walked across the stage for a final goodbye.<br /><br />The pageant had three competitions: swimsuit, evening gown and interview questions.<br /><br />The contestants were whittled to 16 after the show's opening number, in which the beauty queens introduced themselves one-by-one. The top 16 were picked by preliminary judges through competitions and interviews during the week before the telecast. Judges picked the top eight after the swimsuit competition and the top 4 after the evening gown portion.missworldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02333545064353562825noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011183925097015923.post-6213667758232320602011-06-13T15:37:00.000-07:002011-06-28T15:40:31.467-07:00Miss USA Rima Fakih Talks About Her Partying"Good Morning America" sat down with Miss USA 2010, Rima Fakih, to talk about her "bumpy year," which, of course, kicked off with her pole dancing photos and will hopefully end with some late-night partying last month, lest she make any major flubs during the final week of her reign.<br /><br />Fakih told Robin Roberts, "I have to admit, I've had a few hiccups during my year and at times I've learned my lessons. I think I've grown so much this year, I'm proud to say that I am giving up my crown on June 19th. And that I still have a crown."<br /><br />She added, "You have to look at the beginning of my reign, the attacks, the controversy that came up, I wasn't prepared for it. At first, it came up, 'You're the first Arab,' 'You're the first Muslim,' 'Do you think you're a real Miss USA?' Then you had the racy pictures which were really just a pole dancing class and portrayed as something else, and you went from body painting to the mosque controversy, and people didn't like the fact that I was on that WWE 'Tough Enough' reality show."<br /><br />When asked if the masses should change how they look at pageant queens, Fakih explained, "A lot of people don't understand that Miss USA is just a real woman...she's a real human being who has her own opinion, who's an adult and can make some mature decisions. But you're right, though, staying out late, if you have work the next day, you should be responsible. But you have to look on the bright side, I wasn't doing anything illegal."<br /><img style="visibility:hidden;width:0px;height:0px;" src="http://c.gigcount.com/wildfire/IMP/CXNID=2000002.0NXC/bT*xJmx*PTEzMDkzMDA3MzgwNjImcHQ9MTMwOTMwMDc3MzA3OCZwPTEyNTg*MTEmZD1BQkNOZXdzX1NGUF9Mb2NrZV9FbWJlZCZn/PTMmbz1hMjRjYTQzMWEzY2I*NWU*ODM*NTc3OGQ*ZGY3NjBlNyZvZj*w.gif" border="0" height="0" width="0" /><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,124,0" id="ABCESNWID" height="278" width="344"><param name="movie" value="http://abcnews.go.com/assets/player/walt2.6/flash/SFP_Walt_2_65.swf"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><param name="allowNetworking" value="all"><param name="flashvars" value="configUrl=http://abcnews.go.com/video/sfp/embedPlayerConfig&configId=406732&clipId=13827882&showId=13827882&gig_lt=1309300738062&gig_pt=1309300773078&gig_g=3"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><embed src="http://abcnews.go.com/assets/player/walt2.6/flash/SFP_Walt_2_65.swf" quality="high" allowscriptaccess="always" allownetworking="all" allowfullscreen="true" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="configUrl=http://abcnews.go.com/video/sfp/embedPlayerConfig&configId=406732&clipId=13827882&showId=13827882&gig_lt=1309300738062&gig_pt=1309300773078&gig_g=3" name="ABCESNWID" height="278" width="344"></embed></object>missworldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02333545064353562825noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011183925097015923.post-62653676765697195132011-05-05T15:20:00.000-07:002011-08-08T15:23:16.332-07:00Miss World 2011 to be held in London,UK, Tuesday, November 8th<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRig-tX1Uvcw5cOxxI2M_VCUzpNkqKGoI-gylfROrLqJ87VTF2vjYz2vdsjwI-wdR2A4s0cUPPTWhIvnm841bGKQxWpvCzlwu7HQ4Z-IXtmsA_OtJEUc-2-MUGoeY0wIAW2pvP0d-tgtmF/s1600/Miss+World+2011.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRig-tX1Uvcw5cOxxI2M_VCUzpNkqKGoI-gylfROrLqJ87VTF2vjYz2vdsjwI-wdR2A4s0cUPPTWhIvnm841bGKQxWpvCzlwu7HQ4Z-IXtmsA_OtJEUc-2-MUGoeY0wIAW2pvP0d-tgtmF/s400/Miss+World+2011.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5638614250359908098" border="0" /></a>The date and location for the 61st Miss World Final has been announced - 8th November 2011, in London, England.
<br />
<br />The first Miss World event was created by Eric Morley in 1951 as part of his promotion of the Festival of Britain, which took place on the South Bank of the River Thames. Miss World is approaching its 60th birthday and wants to celebrate with a very special party by returning to where it all began on London’s South Bank.
<br />
<br />The special event will feature winners from the past and present, and we will be re-living some of the special moments and star names that have been a part of our 60 year history. Our celebrations will take contestants across the United Kingdom in the run-up to the final, to be held in London on Tuesday 8th November 2011.

<br />
<br />The winner of a $50,000 scholarship, she plans to go to law school and hopes to go into politics.
<br />
<br />"At this point, attorneys and politicians are looked down on and have terrible reputations for being greedy and power hungry," the teen said, "and I really think it's important for people who have their heart and mind in the right place get into those powerful positions."
<br />
<br />And how did she charm the judges, aside from the gown and swimsuit? She played the piano, and told judges she thinks security trumps the public's right to knowledge when it comes to leaked government information.

We can’t let things like that happen, and they must be handled properly, and I think that was the case.”<br /><br />The first runner-up, who will take Miss America’s place in the case Scanlan can’t perform her new role, was Miss Arkansas Alyse Eady.<br /><br /><br />Among other noteworthy contestants was Miss Delaware, Kayla Martell, who made it into the semifinals. Martell suffers from a disease, alopecia areata, that caused her to lose all her hair at age 10, and she competed in a wig.<br /><br />This year marked the 90th pageant in the history of Miss America. The organization runs achievement programs and is a major provider of scholarship assistance for young women. In 2010, the group and its state and local affiliates helped give out more than $45 million in cash and scholarship assistance.<br /><br />Fifty-three women were chosen from states and territories across the country in local contests before they headed to Las Vegas and the final pageant on Saturday.<br /><br /><br />As Miss America, Scanlan will take the next year to travel the United States and raise awareness about eating disorders.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7mF_Dybm-pAazDtkrWHyVszm2Kyt-OPUWK-ImTV3CE5mfbzjxluq98YzrEjqyH6KPRJIADjbIH8L4vlzlR7zjMHCZXhAWeCVmuBAN4KDdNOviQ1pVpA3lMBd6BU9SC5xJnaiiaiGcaW-L/s1600/Teresa+Scalan.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 226px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7mF_Dybm-pAazDtkrWHyVszm2Kyt-OPUWK-ImTV3CE5mfbzjxluq98YzrEjqyH6KPRJIADjbIH8L4vlzlR7zjMHCZXhAWeCVmuBAN4KDdNOviQ1pVpA3lMBd6BU9SC5xJnaiiaiGcaW-L/s320/Teresa+Scalan.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576249967317605266" border="0" /></a>Miss America 2010, Caressa Cameron from Virginia, 22, was a goodwill ambassador for the Children’s Miracle Network, and she spent the year helping raise awareness for HIV/AIDS.<br /><br />In the week ahead of Saturday’s competition, contestants were judged in preliminary events for evening wear, fitness and swimsuits and answer questions in an interview.<br /><br />From those events, 11 semifinalists were chosen to compete on Saturday night.

Her coronation ends the reign of outgoing Miss Universe 2009 Stefania Fernandez, 19, of Venezuela.<br /><br />The two-hour finale was devoid of political controversy that has erupted in past years at this event, even as the last five contestants each fielded a question.<br /><br />Navarrete's question, which came from Olympic gold medalist skater Evan Lysacek, asked her for her views on what to do about the problem of children using the Internet without proper supervision.<br /><br />She responded vaguely but, evidently, adequately. "I do believe that the Internet is an indispensable, necessary tool for the present time," said Navarrete, the first Mexican winner of the contest since 1991.<br /><br />"We must be sure to teach them the values that we learned as a family."<br /><br />The judges, clearly, were satisfied. Former Miss USA judge Alicia Jacobs, seated in the Events Center a row ahead of Miss Universe owner Donald Trump, said Navarrete was a shoo-in once the final five were announced.</div>missworldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02333545064353562825noreply@blogger.com0
