Posted on 29 May 2010 at 12:46am

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.

10 Things to Know About Rima Fakih

  1. She might be the first Arab-American, Mus­lim, or immi­grant, to win the Miss USA title, but the pageant orga­ni­za­tion hasn’t kept ade­quate enough records to deter­mine so.
  2. Rima is a cham­pion pole dancer.
  3. She believes birth con­trol pills should be paid for by health insur­ance. “I believe that birth con­trol is just like every other med­ica­tion even though it’s a con­trolled sub­stance,” said Rima dur­ing the per­sonal inter­view por­tion of the Miss USA pageant.
  4. Last year, Rima became the first Arab-American crowned Miss Michi­gan USA. (Appar­ently, they keep bet­ter records than the national com­mit­tee?)
  5. She has said that her sta­tus as a beauty queen “would prove that Arabs don’t always try to sep­a­rate them­selves, but instead are inte­grated into Amer­i­can cul­ture.”
  6. Rima says her fam­ily cel­e­brates both Mus­lim and Chris­t­ian faiths, and she attended a New York Catholic school.
  7. She earned her Bach­e­lor of Arts degree in Eco­nom­ics and minored in Busi­ness Admin­is­tra­tion at the Uni­ver­sity of Michigan-Dearborn.
  8. She was a vol­un­teer social worker dur­ing her col­lege years.
  9. Rima is the ambas­sador of The Pink Fund, an orga­ni­za­tion that pro­vides finan­cial aid to women and men afflicted with breast can­cer.
  10. She has also worked to raise aware­ness of breast and ovar­ian can­cer and women’s self-defense.

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.

Tiger Woods Offered Mistress Jaimee Grubbs A Job

Posted on 08 Dec 2009 at 6:41pm

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 Mistress Told Pals They Did Drugs Before Sex

Tiger Woods Mistress Told Pals They Did Drugs Before Sex

Posted on 08 Dec 2009 at 6:36pm

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.

Miley Cyrus’ Tattoo

Miley Cyrus’ Tattoo

Posted on 08 Dec 2009 at 5:30pm

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.

Who knows, you might get lucky and pull a celebrity school­girl like Gemma or Helen.

The Most Beautiful Italian Women

The Most Beautiful Italian Women

Posted on 03 Dec 2009 at 1:55am

This is the list of the most beau­ti­ful Ital­ian women ever. Maybe some­one will dis­agree with this list but still I think that it’s a hard work to cre­ate a per­fect one.

Giada Pamela De Laurentiis

Giada Pamela De Lau­ren­tiis  is an Ital­ian Amer­i­can chef, writer, tele­vi­sion per­son­al­ity, and the cur­rent host of the Food Net­work pro­grams Every­day Ital­ian, Behind the Bash, Giada’s Week­end Get­aways, Giada in Par­adise, and Giada at Home. She also appears reg­u­larly as a con­trib­u­tor and guest co-host on NBC’s Today. De Lau­ren­tiis is the founder of the cater­ing busi­ness GDL Foods.

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. When the pro­gram first aired, Food Net­work received emails accus­ing the net­work of hir­ing a model or actress pre­tend­ing to cook instead of a real chef.

Elis­a­betta Canalis

Elis­a­betta Canalis  is an Ital­ian model and actress. A pop­u­lar per­son­al­ity on Ital­ian tele­vi­sion, Canalis had very minor roles in the films Deuce Biga­low: Euro­pean Gigolo and Vir­gin Territory.

She was also a “velina” in one of Italy’s most pop­u­lar tele­vi­sion shows, Striscia la notizia. In 2007, she hosted the annual music fes­ti­val, Festivalbar.

Sophia Loren

Sophia Loren is an Acad­emy Award win­ning Ital­ian film actress, born Sofia Vil­lani Sci­colone. She is widely con­sid­ered to be the most pop­u­lar Ital­ian actress of her time and is also famous for being a major inter­na­tional sex symbol.

By the late 1950s, Loren’s star had begun to rise in Hol­ly­wood, with films such as 1957’s Boy on a Dol­phin and The Pride and the Pas­sion in which she co-starred with Cary Grant and Frank Sina­tra. Grant, report­edly, fell so deeply in love with Loren that he ardently pro­posed mar­riage, despite her obvi­ous loy­alty to Carlo Ponti and Grant’s own union with actress and writer Betsy Drake. Loren refused.

Sara Varone

Born in the ruins of Rome, Italy, with all the stray kit­tens, Varone’s own sweater kit­tens have made her into a Tele­vi­son Per­son­al­ity Star! After fin­ish­ing her phy­chol­ogy degree, this brainy brunette got bored with con­tin­u­ally ask­ing why, so she entered the world of mod­el­ing and got a gig on her first game show Uomini e Donne, hosted by Maria de Filippi.

Francesca Lodo

Francesca Lodo was born on Sun­day, August 01, 1982 and is a famous model. Being born on Aug 01, Francesca is a Leo.Francesca dated Cris­tiano Zanetti and amongst other amorous encoun­ters was Alessan­dro Di pasquale.

Mon­ica Bellucci

Mon­ica Bel­lucci is an Ital­ian actress and fash­ion model.In 1988, Bel­lucci moved to one of Europe’s fash­ion cen­ters, Milan, where she signed with Elite Model Man­age­ment. By 1989, she was becom­ing promi­nent as a fash­ion model in Paris and across the Atlantic, in New York City. She posed for Dolce & Gab­bana and French ELLE, among oth­ers. In that year, Bel­lucci made the tran­si­tion to act­ing and began tak­ing act­ing classes.

The Feb­ru­ary 2001 Esquire Magazine’s fea­ture on Desire fea­tured Ms. Bel­lucci on the cover and in an arti­cle on the five senses. In 2003, she was fea­tured in Maxim. In 2004, she topped AskMen’s 100 Most Beau­ti­ful Women in the World annual list. Bellucci’s mod­el­ling career is man­aged by Elite+ in NYC. She is con­sid­ered an Ital­ian sex symbol.She is cur­rently a face of a range of Dior Cos­met­ics. Bel­lucci is also signed to Storm Model Man­age­ment in London.

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.
