QUEEN OF CONTROVERSY

From en.terra.com: Ever since Natalia Navarro was crowned Miss Colombia back in Nov. 2009, she has generated controversy. Everything from her use of colloquial "street" Spanish to her physical appearance has come under scrutiny in her native Colombia, where beauty pageants and the cult of perfection inspire passionate debate.

But it seems that some are taking their constructive criticism too far. Many followers of the beauty pageant circuit in Colombia have joined together to campaign for Navarro to get a nose job to correct what they see as a larger-than-life schnoz before the Miss Universe competition happens in a few months. Some who are pushing the campaign have even referred to the 21-year old stunner's nose as an "eagle beak." MORE HERE...

NEW MISS VIRGINIA

From Franklin News-Post: Chinah Helmandollar of Hardy has been named the new Miss Virginia 2009, following Saturday night's Miss America Pageant, where Caressa Cameron was crowned Miss America 2010.

Helmandollar, 23, who was a finalist in the Miss Virginia Pageant, will assume the title immediately, according to Toni McLawhorn, Miss Virginia Board pageant administrator.

As a result of Cameron's victory in the national pageant, someone had to be selected to take over the title of Miss Virginia, said J.T. Foley, director of the Greater Miss Franklin County Pageant Committee.

"In an unusual twist of fate, the four runners-up to Cameron at the 2009 Miss Virginia Pageant had already won local titles that will send them to the 2010 Miss Virginia Pageant this June," he explained. "Rather than dropping out of school and giving up the titles that will allow them to compete in the next Miss Virginia Pageant, each of the 2009 runners-up turned down the opportunity to finish out the remaining six-month reign of Miss Virginia."

Helmandollar placed sixth and was next in line for the title, which was offered to her on Monday afternoon, Foley said.

SAVE THE DATE!

Save the date! Miss Czech Republic 2010 is March 20. The contest will elect representatives to Miss Universe 2010 and Miss World 2010.

Eliska was robbed of a top 10 placement at Miss Universe 2008 and Iveta was robbed of a top 5 placement at Miss Universe 2009. This year might be the year that Czech Republic makes top 5 or even wins it all!

Iveta could have been such a glamorous Miss Universe!

The Miss Czech Republic Organisation also holds the rights to the new contest Mr. Czech Republic. The winner of this year's Mr. Czech Republic will compete at Mister World 2010.
