7 Most Controversial Beauty Queens

It is a thing of past to imagine beauty queens as champions of the cause of world peace, goodwill ambassadors and above all symbols of inspiration to all. Sex scandals, cases of forgery, nudity and drug abuse are the new pursuits these beauty queens seem to be chasing. 

What happened to Ada Aimee de la Cruz, Miss Dominican Republic Universe?

Ada Aimee de la Cruz who represented Dominican Republic in Miss World 2007 and Miss Universe 2009 was the envy of many girls around the globe because of her sexy body. She proved the whole world that she had the best body when she won the title of Miss World 2007 Beach Beauty in Sanya, China. She made the Top 15 of the said pageant.


Also in Miss Universe in August last year in Bahamas, she cemented her reputation as one of the sexiest when she ended a runner-up of the eventual winner, Stefania Fernandez of Venezuela.

But five months after the pageant, Ada is now a picture of a different woman. She obviously gained weight. She lost her sexiness.

Most beauty queens gain weight after their reign especially when there are no major international pageant crowns on their heads. This is because they are not pressured.

This is Miss Dominican Republic 2009 now.

Also read this post on Perla Beltran, Miss World 2009 1st runner-up from Mexico, who is obviously following Ada's footstep. The Mexican beauty queen is also gaining weight.

"I'm the winner" says Miss Colombia Michelle Rouillard?

Rumour has it that Miss Colombia Michelle Rouillard is very confident. She apparently made a statement that raised the eyebrows of the other contestants. She said that she is the next Miss Universe winner and the other girls should be happy to contest for the First Runner-up.

That was indeed a very strong statement from this half-Colombian and half-French beauty queen. One thing is for sure, she has no problem with her self-esteem. That's good if she works it for her advantage.

Another rumour about her is that other Latin delegates are questioning her real age. Some of the delegates from Latin America believe she's over 30 years old. Allegedly, one contestant even tried to ask for her passport so that she can verify her year of birth. The incident insulted Michelle.

Take these rumours with a grain of salt. A lot of gossips are being fabricated by fanatic and this one might be just a work of a wild imagination.

Miss World 2008 Ksenia Sukhinova Detained in Wales as Terrorist

Ksenia Sukhinova, Miss World 2008 from Russia, was held and detained by British customs officers when she arrived in Cardiff, Wales to be a VIP guest at the Mr. and Ms. Wales 2009 pageant last July 19th.

Ksenia was stopped and searched by the officers who were searching for terrorists. She was demanded to show the content of her bag.

In a report, the Russian beauty queen said she remained calm while she was being searched for an hour.

The 24-year-old Russian stunner said, "I flew in on Thursday. I was at customs. I don’t know why it happened, it was the first time."

“I don’t know why they looked in all my luggage, it was a check."

“They looked in each of my bags and things to see what I had taken with me and what I had in my luggage. I think they enjoyed it!"

“But it was fine, it was security. The reason was they were looking for dangerous things – but I just had long dresses. I just said nothing. It was just their job.”

Ksenia didn’t even reveal to the officers she was the reigning Miss World. “I didn’t say that,” she said. “I just stayed there. I’m a good girl. It took, like, an hour.”

Ma. Isabel Lopez Has Forgiven Myrna Sese Panlilio

Now that Miss Philippines Universe 1964 Myrna Sese Panlilio died of cardiac arrest the other day, the incident involving her fellow Miss Philippines Universe (Binibining Pilipinas) alumna, Ma. Isabel Lopez, at the last edition of Binibining Pilipinas is once again a hot discussion.

Ma. Isabel, who represented Philippines at the Miss Universe 1982, lashed out at the beauty contest organizer last March 2009 when she received mistreatment from them. It was reported that Ma. Isabel was forced to leave the pageant for attending it without an invitation. And who did it?

It was Myrna Panlilio who told her to leave the venue and who apparently called the security guards to escort her to the exit door. The reason why Ma. Isabel was barred was apparently because of her sexy image during the 1980's.

But with the death of Myrna, Ma. Isabel said in an interview that she had already forgiven the dead beauty queen.

Speaking sadly, Ma. Isabel said that "she respected and understood what she had to do at that time".

"I pray for her soul. I am sure she's happy now with the Lord."

Krystal Brown is the new Miss Bahamas Earth 2009

When the original winner of Miss Bahamas Earth, Ife Bethel Sears, gave up her crown to continue her study, reports circulated in forums and blogs that Amanda Appleyard, Miss Bahamas International, was taking her place. Truth is ... Amanda retained her title.

A new girl was named  Miss Bahamas Earth. The lucky lady is Krystal (or Krystle?) Brown. She is indeed very lucky if you pay attention to the clamor of many Bahamians who are disappointed with the turn of events.

Pageant enthusiasts from Bahamas are questioning why a non-finalist like Krystal would get the right to compete in a better pageant like Miss Earth and the First Runner-up, who happens to be Amanda, is going only to Miss International which is far inferior than the former.

Amanda was elevated as First Runner-up from being Second Runner-up when Ife (original First Runner-up) resigned. On the other hand, Krystal was appointed as the Second Runner-up.

Some are also arguing why the fourth and fifth runners-up of the pageant, Alyssa Knowles and Camille Kenny, were not offered with the title vacated by Ife.

Fans also argued that Miss Bahamas Organization should stick to their tradition of sending the First Runner-up to Miss Earth and the Second Runner-up to Miss International.

Supporters of Miss Bahamas Org reasoned out that Amanda already signed a contract designating her as the representative of Bahamas to Miss International, therefore, they can no longer give her the title of Miss Bahamas Earth.

Going back on Ife Bethel Sears, someone fed us some information that the beauty queen just used her studies as her reason to quit her title. According to our informer, the real reason was because Ife believed her contract with Miss Bahamas Organization was bogus. The former Miss Bahamas Earth 2009 was not happy with the stipulations in her contract.

This would only remind us the issues involving Gaynell Stubbs-Rolle, Miss Bahamas organizer, and former winners of the pageant like Sacha Scott.
