Former Miss USA Shanna Moakler, host of CW's
'Crowned: The Mother of All Pageants' thinks
beauty competitions aren't antiquated -
they've just gotten a bad image over the
years. "Crowned" premieres Wednesday night
at 9 (subsequent episodes will air
Wednesdays at 8), and features 11
mother/daughter teams competing in
pageant-like challenges for a $100,000
jackpot and, of course, a matching pair of
tiaras.
