Apparently awoken to the fact that asking women ages 14-19 to submit their bikini bodies for public judgment is a rather odd thing to do in the year 2016, the Miss Universe organization has chosen to replace the practice with an “athletic wear” competition—which certainly does feels more aligned with the times, if in…
In December, Steve Harvey made an amazing host flub by mistakenly crowning Miss Colombia as Miss Universe, then, minutes later, awarding the real winner Miss Philippines. On both Monday and Tuesday, Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez and Harvey reunited on his unbelievably not-cancelled afternoon talk show before a live…
Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez, she of devastating live television moments and Steve Harvey truther, is finally sharing her pain over winning—and then losing—the coveted Miss Universe crown.
I believe Steve Harvey’s crowning of the wrong Miss Universe was staged. I believe he and a handful of pageant organizers planned the now-notorious moment to boost awareness for the pageant, as well as for Harvey and his talk show. Why do I think this was all one big publicity stunt? Because I have a nose for bullshit…
Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach, the crowned 2015 Miss Universe, posted a message of gratitude on Instagram, which also included a note praising first runner-up Ariadna Gutierrez, Miss Colombia.
Since the Miss Universe pageant didn’t exactly work out in Miss Colombia’s favor, porn giant Vivid Entertainment wants her to consider a career in porn.
Kesha hasn’t released an album in over three years, but it’s not because she hasn’t tried. The singer (whose 2012 album is a personal favorite of mine) reportedly wants to record more music, but told Sony she’d only do it if Dr. Luke—the man whom she claims assaulted her—has no involvement. Sony “rejected” that deal…
Since Steve Harvey only made a minor, no-big-deal screw-up at the Miss Universe 2015 pageant on Sunday (announcing the wrong winner), he’s naturally being asked to return to host another pageant.
Piers Morgan, one of those big, painful pimples that is definitely going to leave a scar, has offered his opinions on Steve Harvey’s Miss Universe debacle. And yes, I do recognize that the rest of this post will require us to suspend our normal grasp on reality and pretend that anybody gives a shit about what Piers…
According to a video posted to the Miss Universe Twitter account late on Sunday night, 21-year-old Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutiérrez Arévalo seemed to recover quickly from being awkwardly de-crowned in front of millions.
Steve Harvey made an unbelievably horrible and embarrassing mistake during the most pivotal moment of Sunday evening’s Miss Universe 2015 pageant, which aired on Fox. Harvey, the night’s host, announced Miss Colombia as the winner and Miss Philippines as the runner-up. He was wrong. It was actually the other way…
Don’t worry, America, you won’t miss the sparkles this year: Fox has picked up broadcast rights for the Miss Universe and Miss USA pageants. NBC previously had the franchise, which it dropped as part of its great divorce from The Donald in the uproar over his execrable comments about Mexican immigrants.
Donald Trump is having an embarrassing week, with even the very white golf community distancing itself from him and his racist remarks about Mexican immigrants being “rapists” and “criminals.” In a neat and predictable bit of irony, the Washington Post reported Sunday that some of the workers finishing a Trump hotel…
Cheryl Burke, the Dancing with the Stars performer who’d also agreed to co-host this year’s Miss USA Pageant with MSNBC’s Thomas Roberts, released a statement this afternoon saying she can’t host anymore. The cause, as with so many of the world’s ills, is Donald Trump.
CNN media reporter Brian Stelter is reporting that NBC won’t be airing the upcoming Miss USA pageant, one part of the three-headed lipsticked hydra that is Donald Trump’s Miss Universe Organization. NBC’s statement says that the decision not to air the pageant is directly due to Donald Trump being Donald Trump all the…
Donald Trump, the orange asshat who thinks that his accidental wealth is enough to qualify him to run the country, is already alienating his business partners. On Thursday, Univision announced that it would end its relationship with the Miss Universe organization (which Trump co-owns) in response to the candidate’s…
If you just couldn't get enough of the styles featured in that 1981 Sears catalog (on glorious LaserDisc!), you're gonna love this—a fashion show from the 1987 Miss Universe telecast. Yes, that is a very orange Bob Barker hosting. It looks like all these women were styled by me, at nine, playing with my Barbies.
The newest Miss Universe Japan isn't Japanese enough for some in her country thanks to her "hafu" ethnicity, meaning she's half Japanese and half African American. But Ariana Miyamoto is still carrying her head and crown high.
The Miss Universe pageant is currently underway in Miami, and last night came the absolute highlight: the costume contest. Judging from the photos, it was as impressive as ever.
Sometimes, when you're just trying to take a selfie with Miss Japan and Miss Slovenia, crazy things happen, like a supposedly uninvited beauty queen shows up and ruins the whole thing.
