The pageant became part of Kayser-Roth and then Gulf and Western Industries, before being acquired by Donald Trump in 1996. In 1998, Miss Universe changed its name from Miss Universe, Inc. to Miss Universe Organization and the headquarters moved from Los Angeles, California, to New York City that year. Donald Trump brought in a new team of professionals to the contest headed by its new CEO, Molly Miles, and president Maureen Reidy. The contest would use the slogan "Redefined for Today" for promotion of the pageants. The current Miss Universe is Leila Lopes, from Angola. She won the title on September 12, 2011.

Leila Lopes, 25, of Angola was crowned Miss Universe, beating 88 competitors. In a field dominated by dark floor stomachs, contestants long legs, sweet smile and hairstyle Lopes (in a bun, not long curls cascading) distinguish it from the beginning. She is also one of the few black women every time I hit the crown, the AP reports, and is the first winner of Angola.

Speaking in a timid voice after the contest last night in Sao Paolo, Brazil, Lopes said his smile was his best weapon. She also told reporters that she has never had cosmetic surgery and his three beauty tips went to get a lot of sleep, use sunscreen even when there is no sun and drinking plenty of water.

Kenny Chesney's Concert attacked by Hurricane

Kenny Chesney

Kenny Chesne is a American singer and songwriter. Chesney has recorded 15 albums, of which 14 have been certified gold or higher by the RIAA. He has also produced over 30 Top Ten in the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, of which 20 went to the top of the charts.

Kenny Chesney will not be singing at Gillette Stadium Sunday as scheduled - and he's grateful to Irene. The threat of hurricane caused stadium officials and developers to reprogram the "Goin 'Coastal Tour" on Friday night.

Gillette Stadium Senior Vice President of Finance, Administration and Operations James Nolan said, "I think it was a combination of safety and enjoyment of the fan, if we have time to type hurricanes, we do not want people on the streets, we do not 't want people in the parking lot who do not want the building, but even with the rain that is expected to be done to a very bad experience for people, so moving it seemed the right decision. "

But that means pick up the pace in the creation of the previous series. The teams were already building the stage on the field Wednesday afternoon.

Nolan said, "Logistically it's a great thing, the easiest next step is behind us, which was scheduled to take place on Friday anyway, but in reality the change of personnel of all public safety officials all the support teams and the stadium staff and security - from parking to food and beverages, which is kind of difficult piece of the equation. "

So while teams continue their work in Gillette, authorities are urging concert goers to plan accordingly, now that the first concert will be on a weekday.

Nolan said: "We ask people to arrive early, parking lots open to two, to avoid rush hour traffic, our stadium gates open at 16:00 and the show is scheduled to start at five."

If you can not make the show Friday, Gillette Stadium officials say they can get a refund at point of sale.

Emily Maynard Wailing Split With 'Bachelor' Brad Womack: "I thought we'd be planning a wedding"

Emily Maynard has shown commitment problems ended his commitment to the ABC's latest "Bachelor" Brad Womack. During an interview, which aired on "The Bachelorette" on Monday night, Emily hinted that the franchise host Chris Harrison Brad could not give him the support he needed in the relationship, an issue that arose after she was ready to go to Austin, Texas, where Brad is based. "As a single mother, I have the luxury of saying, 'I'll find out when you get there.

Everything will disappear when you get there," Emily said Chris, referring to the paternity of her daughter, Ricki, who is only 6. "I need to know that the person I'm moving to will want to be with me six weeks on the road, let alone six years and I had that confidence and may not have enough to last forever," Emily continued crying . "When I marry, I want it forever.

I think that's what makes this so difficult is just remember that and how things took a turn, and I do not know how it happened." Emily said she had a number of things that made him think the relationship was doomed to failure. "Little red flags that arise in our relationship reached a point where he said:" I have to be honest with myself and with this relationship, and I realized that maybe I needed to work out -. I wanted to be married, and wanted more children, and I wanted him - perhaps the shadow of the reality of the relationship, "Emily said Chris.

" I have no doubt that we have loved others, only questioned, you know, if there was still wanting to be with me. " Chris said Brad actually gave his blessing to the interview, where Emily confirmed the couple's relationship is definitely over. "I thought to be planning a wedding the next time I saw you," Emily said Chris. "We are not involved anymore, but is ... always going to be a very important part of my life," he said. While the couple has separated, Emily said she will continue to have a place in his heart Brad.

"I will always be in love with Brad," he said. "Nobody heard me say a bad word about him nor will I tolerate anyone saying anything bad about it. Not a day is that I do not regret how things have turned out and wished it were different." Reports that things were not working between Brad and Emily appeared almost immediately after twice "Bachelor" cast her final rose in the most recent season of the series, which ended in March. The couple finally confirmed they had separated at the end of June.

Laura Ziskin, Producer of 'Spider-Man' and Hollywood Trailblazer Dies at 61

Laura Ellen Ziskin (March 3, 1950 - June 12, 2011) was an American film producer. In 1990, she was the sole executive producer of the hit comedy Pretty Woman. Ziskin became the first woman to produce the Academy Awards telecast alone in 2002. She repeated the job in 2007.

LOS ANGELES -- Laura Ziskin, a veteran film producer who counted the "Spider-Man" franchise as among her many credits and was one of the most influential female producers in Hollywood history, has died at 61.

Ziskin, who was working on the reboot of "The Amazing Spider-Man" at the time of her death, had fought a seven-year battle with breast cancer. In 2008, she founded a nonprofit that has to-date raised more than $200 million to fight the disease.

Although she was not well known among average film fans, Ziskin had a profound impact on what contemporary moviegoers watched at the multiplex. Over a three-decade career she produced a wide range of films, including the 1987 Cold War thriller "No Way Out," the 1990 Richard Gere-Julia Roberts romantic comedy "Pretty Woman" and 1997's James L. Brooks' Oscar-contending dramedy "As Good As It Gets."

By far her most significant filmic legacy is "Spider-Man"; she produced all three released movies in the global blockbuster franchise. "The Amazing Spider-Man," a reboot of the comic-book series starring Andrew Garfield that is set to be released next year, was her most recent effort in that vein. One person close to the production noted she was extremely involved even as her cancer began to spread in recent months.

Although Ziskin had been based at the Sony Pictures lot for years, during the 1990s she also headed a division at 20th Century Fox, Fox 2000, that was responsible for the kind of serious dramas Hollywood studios rarely make nowadays, including "Courage Under Fire," "Fight Club" and "The Thin Red Line."

Ziskin also produced two Oscar telecasts, in 2002 and 2007. Her first effort was notable for landing Woody Allen, famously averse to awards-show hoopla. She was the first woman to produce the telecast on her own.

Outside the film world she was best known for her efforts in helping to found Stand Up to Cancer, a research initiative she founded with Katie Couric, former Paramount chief Sherry Lansing and others. The organization held a high-profile Hollywood telethon that drew on the star power of the media and entertainment world to raise money for cancer research.

At the Producers Guild Awards this past January, Ziskin's voice was weak when she received the group's visionary award. She spoke about cancer's destruction on families and the importance of encouraging cancer researchers to collaborate on their work. "In my world the hero always defeats the villain, the boy always gets the girl, and cancer is no more," she said.

But perhaps her most lasting impact will lie in how she was able to penetrate the inner circle of A-list producers, for decades considered an all-boys club. In Mollie Gregory's 2002 book about women and Hollywood, "Women Who Run the Show," Ziskin had one of the most memorable quotes.

"Men have built the cities, made and defined the culture, interpreted the world. At no time in recorded history have women been culture-makers," she said. "Movies are arguably the most influential, important medium in the world. They have a tremendous cultural impact. Because women are now making movies, then women's ideas, philosophy, point of view will seep into that culture. And that's never happened in history. Ever, ever, ever. We can't even see the impact of that yet."

Lady Gaga Not Afraid To Talk About Sex !

Lady Gaga’s got another message for her little monsters, but it’s one that may come as a surprise to many – wait to have sex.

For the controversial pop star who has graced the covers of magazines and videos wearing sometimes nothing but her own skin, abstinence, she believes, is important. Not abstinence until marriage but abstinence until ready.

Speaking to journalists at a luxury hotel in Cologne, Germany, she told BANG Showbiz, “I think young kids should wait as long as they can before they have sex. And they should use protection from the first time to the last time.”

Saying that she was not afraid to talk about sex, the 25-year-old singer made clear that she was not condemning it.

“Sex is not wrong,” she stated. “Sex is real life. I don’t see sex to be a bad thing. Sex is an inspiration for everyone and I don’t think there is one song that’s ever been written that sex wasn’t part of.”

But sex outside of love (not marriage) was something not to be messed with, Gaga, who recently split from boyfriend Luc Carl, said. She had previously told metro.us, “If you’re not having sex with someone who really loves you, they can really screw up your energy.”



“I think sometimes if you are promiscuous and are just sleeping around that people can take things from you. I think it’s always important to be making love,” she advised, also adding that you had to love yourself first before you could “give love to others.”

“I was very insecure for a very long time; I didn’t know that I would be very comfortable with it and it wasn’t until very recently that I actually enjoyed sex.”

To the multiple Grammy Award-winner, sex was what made “the world go round.”

“I don’t know if threesomes make the world go round, but I suppose, they’re fun,” she also commented, derailing her entire aforementioned advice.

Sending what seemed to be mixed or inconsistent messages to her fans, with not only her words but with her highly sexualized music videos and risqué style as well, there’s no doubt there will be some confusion.

One reader named Anne on CTV News commented, “Lady Gaga is obviously not aware of the hypocrisy she presents. Telling teens to abstain from sex is merely lip service when they are watching her videos and listening to the lyrics with blatant images of sex, orgies and other adult behaviors promoted as normal and fun. What do you think will influence these teens more?”

Dean in Abby responded, “She is a terrific entertainer and that’s all. Our fascination with people like her is what is leading our youth down a dark road. Perhaps kids wouldn’t be so quick to have sex or dress provocatively if people like her didn’t dress and act the way they do.”

Her messages carry a lot of weight, however, as her influence around the world is undeniably far-reaching. Lady Gaga was named Forbes' most powerful woman this year. She also is the most popular Twitter user with more than 10.8 million followers.

Lady Gaga Saturday Night Live

As "Saturday Night Live" wrapped up its 36th season, the show let the evening's megastar guests, Lady Gaga and Justin Timberlake, take the reins; a move which meant a revisit of some of JT's classic "SNL" gags and a live television moment only Mother Monster could deliver.

JT started the show insisting that he wouldn't be singing during his latest appearance, only to segue into a ditty during which he busted out his signature falsetto, serenaded a blushing audience member and brought it on home with some soulful trills.

But JT didn't stay on the anti-singing kick for long, popping up in the first sketch as an overeager street marketer in a beer-bottle costume armed with booze-friendly versions of pop hits. Going up against side-eyes from a prudish, tea-shilling Kristen Wiig, Timberlake countered with pro-imbibing jams like a revamp of DJ Khaled's "All I Do Is Win." Lady Gaga got in on the action, too, tottering on set in a snug vine-swathed frock with goblet-shaped glove thingys to join Timberlake for reboot of B.o.B and Hayley Williams' smash "Airplanes," crooning, "I could really use a drink right now." The pair then belted "too much merlot" to Flo Rida's "Low" before switching up the easy-listening staple "Endless Love" to "Endless Buzz," with lines like, "No one can deny/ This hooch I have inside."

Gaga also showed off her comedic skills in a digital short alongside Timberlake and Andy Samberg. After getting some sugar from mature vixens Patricia Clarkson and Susan Sarandon, JT and Samberg hit the streets in Color Me Badd fresh jumpsuits and leather bombers only to both show up at Gaga's door clutching Alize and Bartles & Jaymes. Looking in gold hoops and a gaudy getup, the pop supernova welcomed them in for an ode to the ménage a trois. "You're my best friend through thick and thin and now it's time to make a triple connection," the crew belted. "It's OK when it's in a three-way. It's not gay when it's in a three-way!"

Gaga's first onstage performance began with a much more subdued tone. Banging away on a striped grand piano with a silvery crescent-shaped headdress, the songstress showed off her fiery vocals with an impassioned rendition of "Edge of Glory." Then Mother Monster ditched the intimate vibe -- and the headpiece -- for a club-ready performance of her speaker-rattling single "Judas." Dancers in dark kilts and strappy, belted bodices backed up Gaga, who coordinated her two-toned locks, shiny black body suit and thigh-high boots with the striped stage. After flexing some of the video's high-energy choreography, Gaga retreated to a ladder on the side of the set for a bit before launching back into the punchy moves.

JT and Gaga kept cranking out the laughs as the songstress owned Timberlake in a celebrity edition of "What's That Name?" While Timberlake handily identified animated '90s Paula Abdul collaborator MC Skat Kat, the singer/actor blanked on the name of a bubbly hook-up from two weeks ago, and even struck out on Taran Killiam as Timberlake's fellow 'NSYNC member Chris Kirkpatrick. Grinning in a latex blazer and bra, Gaga easily remembered a fan she met in passing, schooled JT on the purpose of his charity and rattled off names of the stage crew and audience.

Timberlake put his growing acting skills to work in every sketch, creeping out Jason Sudeikis as a handsy member of a robotic barbershop trio on a hokey carnival ride, sparring with Bill Hader's decrepit local news correspondent and continuously flubbing the retro "Secret Word" game as a campy magician peddling crusty tricks.

For her last onstage trick, Gaga revisited the futuristic birth theme of her February Grammy performance of "Born This Way," revving up the performance with some S&M touches. Once again, the superstar emerged from an egg-shaped structure, this time however the vessel was adorned with caviar-like lumps. Gaga hit the stage in a cropped latex top with voluminous shoulders and second-skin leggings as fog encircled the singer and her crew. Swapping out the flesh-tone tunics from the Grammy performance for shiny belly-baring tops and slashed culottes, the dancers rocked the choreography as Gaga whipped her blonde ponytail around. Enveloped by her dancers for an onstage costume change, Mother Monster ramped up the drama by getting outfitted with a prosthetic latex-covered pregnancy belly. Gaga vamped it up in the fake baby bump as her crew hoisted her onto a throne and caressed her body, and glitter rained onto the pop diva.

The show closed with a cameo appearance from "SNL" alum and late-night host Jimmy Fallon for the "Barry Gibb Talk Show." Timberlake reprised his role as apathetic sidekick Robin Gibb to Fallon's jumpy, karate-chopping Barry as he grilled guests about the U.S. debt. JT stayed largely mum as Fallon continued to wig out, only piping up to briefly harmonize, "We suckled at the same teat!" Yet Timberlake was quick to revive Fallon when he froze during a signature freak-out. When the comedian came to, Fallon exclaimed, "I survived the Rapture!"
