    Miss Mexico Jimena Navarrete was crowned Miss Universe 2010. She’s one of those whom we earlier predicted to win the crown in an earlier post (good job Ojie!)

    Miss Philippines Venus Raj was acclaimed 4th runner up in the final pageant ceremony held at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. She was a favorite in the preliminary competitions early on.

    The rest of the winners: first runner-up, Miss Jamaica; second runner-up, Miss Australia; and third runner-up, Ukraine.

  2. Miss Universe 2010 live streaming and live telecast

    August 24, 2010 by ajay

    Best places to watch the live streaming of the 2010 Miss Universe pageant:

    The Miss Universe channel in Ustream

    Miss Universe TV, simply called Miss U TV

    The Official Miss Universe Youtube channel

    Try also channelsurfing.net

    In the US, the live teecast of Miss Universe 2010 will be aired by NBC at 9 p.m. (their time). In the Philippines, we are going to watch it at 9:30 in the morning today, August 24 on ABS-CBN with delayed evening telecast and replay on Studio 23 and the Velvet Channel. I bet the ABS-CBN coverage will have a lot of commercials again and that is why looking out for live streaming over the internet will come in handy. With the power of social media like Facebook and Twitter, I am also sure that winner of Miss Universe 2010 will be known at least an hour ahead before the official TV coverage finishes. Uh huh.

Thanks to Ojie, I am also now excited at these beauty contests, and now realized they’re a good exercise in entertainment :D Too bad, Ojie will not be around during the Miss Universe 2010 live telecast on August 23 (morning of August 24, Manila time) because he’s now on his way to a Ramadan pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia..uh huh. Way to go Oj!

    Here’s our Top 10 list:

    1. Miss Philippines Venus Raj (of course!)
    2. Miss Venezuela Marelisa Gibson
    3. Miss Puerto Rico Mariana Paola Vicente
    4. Miss USA Rima Fakih
    5. Miss Russia Irina Antonenko

  4. Melody Gersbach dies in car accident

    August 21, 2010 by ajay

    I and the rest of this beauty queen-crazy country are certainly shocked at the death of Melody Gersbach at the young age of 23 in a car accident this morning. She was Bb. Pilipinas International 2009 and was in the top 15 of the Miss International beauty pageant held the same year in Chengdu, China. Here’s one video we saw in Youtube of her send-off party where she’s seen together with Bb. Pilipinas Universe 2009 Pamela Bianca Manalo:

    Melody, a Bicolana, is also credited by reigning Bb. Pilipinas Universe Ma. Venus Raj as the one who convinced her to join Bb. Pilipinas 2010. Raj is currently at the Mandalay Resort in Las Vegas for Miss Universe 2010 which will be held in two days’ time. We’re sure Melody’s car accident will sadden her, as the two have become close friends.

  5. Vote for Venus Raj in the 2010 Miss Universe pageant

    August 2, 2010 by ajay

    Venus Raj

    After a series of controversies which got her dethroned and then reinstated again, Bb. Pilipinas Universe Venus Raj finally leaves for the US tonight where she will compete in the 2010 Miss Universe pageant to be held at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino on August 23.

    Prior to her departure, Venus will have a press conference at the Bb. Pilipinas Charities Inc. (BPCI) office in Quezon City. Unlike her predecessors, she will not be going to Venezuela or Colombia for further training. But reports have it that Ms. Raj is one of six Miss Universe candidates personally chosen by Donald Trump for a media tour in Los Angeles, California a few days before the pageant.

  6. Supporters of dethroned Bb. Pilipinas Venus Raj take fight to cyberspace

    April 7, 2010 by ajay

    Dethroned Bb. Pilipinas Universe Venus Raj before she was stripped of her crown

    We watched Venus Raj’s interview in showbiz news show The Buzz last Sunday where she vowed to bring Bb. Pilipinas Charities Inc. to court for her dethronement, based on grounds of nationality. After that, we just know that the country’s participation in the Miss Universe contest is going to be mired in controversy, more than ever.

    And this being election season, vice-presidential candidate Loren Legarda is already riding in the bandwagon to give justice to Venus, a Bicolana. Incidentally, her rival for the land’s second highest elective post, Mar Roxas, happens to be the nephew of Stella Marquez Araneta who heads BPCI and is now under fire from Venus Raj supporters for the dethronement decision which they call ‘unfair and unjust.’

  7. Bb. Pilipinas 2010 winners chosen; Ma. Venus Raj from Bicol to represent country in Miss Universe

    March 7, 2010 by ajay

    I stayed up late tonight to blog, and caught the last leg of the annual Binibining Pilipinas pageant just in time. Before then, my friend Ojie told me the top title will already go to Candidate No. 11 Krista Kleiner but she turned out to be the Bb. Pilipinas International.

    The top plum of the night, Bb. Pilipinas-Universe, went to an unknown – Ma. Venus Raj who stands at five feet nine and is described in her bio to be working as an information assistant for DENR Region 4. She had vital stats to die for though, and I knew what made her win – the 22 inch waistline! :D phew!
