Mexico Wins Miss Universe Pageant

For the second time in history and the first time in nineteen years, Mexico walks away with the coveted Miss Universe crown. The ceremony was held tonight and aired live from Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. The first runner-up was Jamaica, with other countries in the Top 15 including Ireland, Russia, Ukraine, Australia, Philippines, Puerto Rico and Colombia, who were all early favorites. Latin women have dominated the Miss Universe pageant over the past ten years, winning 7 of the 10 titles. Congrats Mexico!

French DJ David Guetta and singer Kelly Rowland were also part of Miss Universe 2009 last night which aired live from the Island of the Bahamas. Check out their performance of "When Love Takes Over" during the Top 10 evening gown competition.

Flo Rida Live at the 2009 Miss Universe

Thankfully there were real performers during last night's Miss Universe, including rapper Flo Rida who performed his singles "Jump" and "Right Round" during the Top 15 swimsuit competition.

Heidi Montag Live at Miss Universe 2009

Well, this is almost painful to watch. In my opinion, Heidi Montag tried to be too much like Britney Spears in this performance of "Body Language" and looked like a total fool doing it. I must admit, I kinda enjoy seeing her make an ass of herself in front of millions of viewers worldwide. Check her out performing live from the Bahamas at the 2009 Miss Universe Pageant. Also, for the first time in Miss Universe history, a country repeats a win back-to-back. From Venezuela to Venezuela. Congrats to Stefanie Fernandez the new Miss Universe 2009. Congratulations Venezuela!
Here's a little more information for those interested:
First runner-up: Dominican Republic - Second runner-up: Kosovo - Third runner-up: Australia - Fourth runner-up: Puerto Rico

Hot Pick: Lady Gaga- "Just Dance"

Talking about Lady Gaga, I'll take the time to introduce this new artist to those who might not have heard of her yet. Lady Gaga comes from New York City and has recently released her chart-topping debut Akon-produced single "Just Dance" which has been received greatly by the audience peaking at #2 on the Billboard Hot Dance Airplay and Billboard Hot Dance Club Play. Gaga performed this song live at the 2008 Miss Universe pageant in Vietnam a couple of weeks ago and I have the video for us to enjoy, which features another new singer, Colby O'Donis. The official music video is above, while her performance at Miss Universe can be found below... which includes an interlude of some pretty gorgeous babes. Check it out.
