Miss Universe 2011 a fraud?
 

If this is true...her reign isn't going to last long and the title and crown would be passed to Miss Ukraine.

I read an article in Marie Claire ages ago about how MANY of the pageants are frauds. I honestly don't think Trump gives a shit.

Trump only gives a shit if they put on the pounds. We all know that.

Of course he gives a shit...these kind of scandals are GREAT for publicity.


What I don't understand is why it mentions twice that she speaks Spanish. Is that an Angolan crime? Are Spanish speakers ineligible unless they come from a Hispanic country?

Well, as a former Portugese colony, she should probably speak Portugese?

I didn't know that members of the Angolan diaspora were eligible for Miss Angola

Meh...the "illusion" that the women are actually from the country they represent has been going on for years. Porntip Nakhirunkanok, who was Miss Thailand, won Miss Universe but had been living in the US since age 2. Often, Miss Great Britain is generally American raised as well...as long as you have the British passport to prove it, I think that's about all that counts.

Kinda like Olympians who don't qualify for their own "regular" country, so they shop themselves out to a country who will let them compete for them instead, like Milorad Čavić, the American born "Serbian" swimmer who gave Michael Phelps a run for his money. I think Čavić's parents are Serbian, so I guess in the eyes of Serbia, he is too.

Oh well...shrug.

I know it is Miss Universe but the same can be said about states pageants. When I watch the pageants, more often than not the girl who is representing the state, doesn't even live in the state anymore.

It's all politics.

She'll keep the crown. Look what Tara Conner did and she kept her crown.

As Oscar Wilde wisely said: "“The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.”

or: "no such thing as bad publicity"
