Miss USA Scandal

Like any other pageant winner, Miss USA 2010 is struggling to hold on to her crown. The 24 year old beauty, Rima Fakih, once competed in a radio show dancing contest in 2007. The picture of Fakih, just surfaced, shows her on the pole in merely a shirt, shorts and high heels. But of course this is more than enough for pageant officials to question Miss Michigan’s representation of Miss USA 2010. Almost every year, it’s the same thing. I don’t blame the girls for having a controversial past, but the pageant officials who give away the crown and then want to publicize and embarrass them for something so innocent. Miss Universe representatives notified the radio show, Mojo in the Morning, and asked for more information and pictures of Fakih. Surprisingly, the radio show is defending Rima. According to New York Daily, the host explained, "It would be foolish to consider anyone other than Rima to represent the USA…The photos taken from our Web site are no more provocative than those on the Miss USA Web site." He’s completely right. The usual pictures of all the Miss USA contestants were definitely more provocative, in my opinion, this year. When asked, on a public poll, ‘Do You Think Rima Fakih Should Be Stripped Of Her Crown?’, 74%, including me, answered ‘No, They’re Making A Big Deal Out Of Nothing.’ Well…at least she won the dance competition =)
