Two things happened to Rima Fakih yesterday. She nearly went splat after tripping over the long train of her wedding-like gown. And more importantly, the Miss Michigan USA pageant queen was crowned Miss USA. Rima, who was born in Lebanon and moved to the U.S. as a baby, said she knew she’d be crowned the winner when she saw Donald Trump‘s expression. “That’s the same look that he gives them when he says, ‘You’re hired,’ on ‘The Apprentice,’ she said. Rima will go on to represent the U.S. in the 2010 Miss Universe pageant. She also will receive a New York apartment for one year, an undisclosed salary, and various beauty, health, and professional services. After the jump, find out more about Rima, including the surprising talent that helped her win another kind of contest.

Stephen Meisel dressed a bunch of models in TwitPic for Vogue Italia, and the results are kind of amusing. They’re also filled with attractive women, so: something for everyone.
The biggest surprise, besides the concept and amount of models here, is the camera shy Steven Meisel him self. Who’s appearing here in his own editorial, titled by the update its self, but beginning with the word ‘Feeling’. Are his own feelings, and thought process, changing as he departs one decade and set to enter another? Are we doing to see a new development in his career? The January issue is now highly anticipated.
In yet another bombshell revelation, Tiger Woods offered his mistress, Jaimee Grubbs, a job and a free place to live in Las Vegas, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.
“She said that he had offered her a condo or apartment,” Keith Taylor exclusively told RadarOnline.com. “From what she told me, he said she could stay there for free and sort of manage the property.”
Taylor worked at an Acura car dealership with Grubbs in 2007 when her alleged affair with Tiger was just beginning. “When he had tournaments she would wear a red shirt to work. She had kind of explained that that was a significant thing between them two,” he said. “Something special that they shared.”
Taylor also said that Jaimee was constantly in touch with Woods via text messages and was excited about the opportunity Woods had offered her in Vegas. “I think that she was enamored with being anywhere kind of affiliated with somebody of that stature.”
Tiger Woods secret extramarital life continues to yield new scandals.
Rachel Uchitel, the first woman publicly named as Tiger Woods’ mistress, told friends that she did drugs with the golfing legend before they had sex, RadarOnline.com is reporting exclusively.
That’s the second too-close drug mention for one of America’s perceived squeaky clean sports idols. RadarOnline.com reported exclusively Thursday that another of Tiger’s women, Jaimee Grubbs worked at a medical marijuana “pharmacy” at least until a month ago.
Now we’ve learned that Uchitel told friends that she and Tiger liked to have sex while taking the drug Ambien. Uchitel told one pal, ‘You know you have crazier sex on Ambien — you get into that Ambien haze. We have crazy Ambien sex.’”
Ambien is a sedative used for short-term treatment of insomnia. Many people claim it enhances sexual experience dramatically immediately after ingesting it.
Uchitel told several friends that she and Tiger had Ambien sex. She at first vehemently denied an affair with Tiger when the National Enquirer broke the story. After Tiger’s wild ride early-morning crash, Uchitel continued to deny the story and then decided to tell the truth.
She hired power attorney Gloria Allred who scheduled a news conference for Thursday, but then abruptly canceled it. RadarOnline.com reported exclusively that Tiger’s reps were in contact with Uchitel’s team the night before the news conference and a $1 million deal that would ensure her silence was discussed.
She JUST turned 17 and she already has her first tat! It says “Just Breathe” and it’s apparently for her friend who died of cystic fibrosis in 2007. Still, she’s barely 17!
From posing topless for Vanity Fair to indulging in a steamy kiss on-screen, Miley Cyrus appears to be desperate to leave the squeaky-clean Hannah Montana behind.
And judging from these latest pictures, her desire to shake off her fictional alter-ego couldn’t be more obvious as she strutted around a Florida hotel yesterday in a teeny bikini while showing off a recently-inked tattoo.
The 17-year-old singer was snapped enjoying a relaxing day with friends at the Fontainebleau Resort on Miami Beach as she lay by the pool having wrapped up her Wonder World world tour the night before.
But it wasn’t the skimpy neon pink two-piece that attracted all the attention, but what appeared to be the words ‘Just Breathe’ tattooed in black ink on her ribcage just under her left breast.
She also appeared to be describing the design to her friend after she was snapped gesturing at it with her hands.
In theory, Miley is not legally allowed to have a tattoo as she is under 18, which is the legal age to be inked in the US.
However, after her brother Trace recently revealed that all the Cyrus family were planning to get matching ones, Miley may have been given permission to get one from her country singer father Billy Ray.
One fan’s blog this morning suggested that she got the tattoo in memory of a nine-year-old girl called Vanessa who passed away from cystic fibrosis in 2007.
Cyrus met Vanessa at a Los Angeles hospital and instantly connected with her, describing her as one of her best friends.
There was no word from Miley’s agent today to confirm whether the tattoo was a permanent or temporary one.
Miley was photographed later that afternoon leaving the resort wearing a Jonas Brothers t-shirt in homage to her ex-boyfriend Nick Jonas.
She is currently dating Australian actor and former Neighbours star Liam Hemsworth, 19, who she met while filming the Disney movie The Last Song.
But she dated 17-year-old Jonas, the youngest of the musical sibling trio and believed to be her first love, from June 2006 to December 2007.
School Disco in London is the place to go if you have a thing for hot chicks dressed up in a (slutty) school uniform.
Scantily clad drunk girls letting loose on a Friday night means the chances of getting laid in this place are high, very high.
Who knows, you might get lucky and pull a celebrity schoolgirl like Gemma or Helen.

Her cooking program, Everyday Italian, has been broadcast on Food Network since 2003. On her Chefography (a Food Network biography program), she admitted that she never wanted to be in her “family business” of show business. She felt very uncomfortable in front of the camera when she first began hosting Everyday Italian, but has since become more relaxed and open on air.

Loren refused.

I must admit that I’m not a big fan of golf. I couldn’t swing a club let alone hit a ball if I tried. I have watched the occasional competition on TV but usually edited highlights unless Michelle Wie is playing – that’s a story for another day.
Today we are looking at women who make golf sexy. Take the photo at the top as an example. That’s Diora Baird doing a photoshoot for Maxim magazine, you can see a whole bunch more from that shoot here.
But she’s not the only women who makes golf sexy. A few pro players do to, in fact most of the pictures in the gallery below are of women who play golf for a living.
There’s also the kinda famous strumpets who throw on a shirt skirt and grab a seven iron just to tease the masses. And it works.
