Sao Paulo, Brazil to Host the 2011 Miss Universe® Pageant Live on NBC

NEW YORK, NY (December 16, 2010) -- Donald J. Trump, NBC Universal and Miss Universe Organization President, Paula M. Shugart, announced today the 60th Annual MISS UNIVERSE® Pageant will air live from São Paulo, Brazil on September 12, 2011. The glamorous live event, featuring the most beautiful women in the universe, will air on NBC in the United States, with a Spanish simulcast on Telemundo.

"I am very pleased to announce our partnership with media conglomerate Grupo Bandeirantes de Comunicação and the selection of São Paulo as the host location for Miss Universe 2011," said the pageant's owner, Donald J. Trump. "Brazil is rapidly becoming an economic powerhouse and is a great place to do business. This decade, Brazil is hosting three of the greatest and most-watched worldwide events: the World Cup, the Summer Olympic Games and now, to kick it all off, Miss Universe."

"Grupo Bandeirantes is delighted that we have reached an agreement with the Miss Universe Organization to host the Miss Universe 2011 pageant in São Paulo, Brazil," said the network's president, João Carlos Saad. "We believe it is fitting for Brazil to set the stage for this glamorous event, and we look forward to showing the contestants, and the almost 200 countries around the world who watch the pageant every year, the exciting and vibrant culture of our beautiful country."

Contestants from more than 80 countries around the world will travel to Brazil for almost a month of activities leading up to the live telecast. They will be judged in three categories: swimsuit, evening gown and interview, as they vie for the coveted title of Miss Universe 2011. This is first time in its 60-year history the Miss Universe contest will be held in Brazil.

Mexicana, Ximena Navarrete, Miss Universe 2010, will crown her successor at the conclusion of the telecast. During her reign, Navarrete has traveled the world as an advocate for HIV/AIDS education, research, and legislation. The next Miss Universe will continue this work. 

Here She Comes, America's Perfect Teen, From Wales

The crowning of 16-year-old Anysha Panesar, who was allowed to enter the America's Perfect Teen beauty pageant as an international contestant, is causing waves on both sides of the pond. A former Miss Teen Wales, she beat out 80 others for the title, winning $2,000 and an $18,000 scholarship in the process. Panesar, who hails from Llangan, Wales, some 3,500 miles from U.S. shores, says she found out about the contest while on a family vacation in Kissimmee, Fla. Families of aspiring American beauties are furious about the snub to their U.S. girls, pageant founder Michael Galanes tells London's Daily Mail. "Yes, her win caused a bit of a stir because she is British. But that is perfectly within the rules of the competition and those people are just nay-sayers," Galanes, whose toddler's pageant, Little Miss Perfect, has become a big hit. "One of the judges told me she liked Anysha because she was just a breath of fresh air."  parentdish.com  Read more...

TV Coverage of the Miss England Pageant is Back on TV

It’s great news….after an absence of 22 years of TV coverage, the Miss England 2010 contest will be back on a TV screen near you…. giving coverage of the Search for the next contestant to represent England in the 60 th Miss World Contest to be held on 30th October in Sanya, China. The Active Channel (Sky Channel 281) are the giants of the Health and Wellbeing media and, following news that the Miss England contest has banned the swimwear round and replaced it with sportswear instead, entered into talks with the organisers and have agreed to work together to promote a healthier lifestyle for young women.

“The Active Channel (http://www.theactivechannel.com) reaches 32 million people in the UK and Europe and a further 5 million worldwide viewers from 193 countries and is the most watched health & fitness channel in the UK … and it is still expanding at a phenomenal rate!, “ says Houtan Odabaei, Director of Programme Development.

"Miss England echoes The Active Channel's ethos of health & wellbeing, so we are thrilled to have an exclusive contract to televise the competition this year.” Miss England Organiser Angie Beasley said “I’m delighted that the public will get the chance to see the contest on TV this year. They will be able to see for themselves just how much the contest has changed over the years. The girls are taking part in fitness , talent, sports and charity rounds …it’s so different compared to the bathing beauty contest of yesteryear. We have millions of visitors to our website throughout the year so clearly there is a lot of interest in the event. We get girls from all ages, sizes and walks of life entering, in the hope of representing their country, so all the support we can get is tremendous.”

The Active Channel plan to cover the entire contest over the two day finals, including the crowning of the Miss England 2010 on Wednesday 1st September.

Miss England 2010 is taking place at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole (at the NEC) over a two-days period on the 31st August & 1st September. The event is being held as a fast moving fashion show‐style Red Carpet event, and winners will be modelling Wizard Jeans, designer eveningwear and cocktail dresses from Hannah S & Tiffany Prom.

And to prove the girls are not just pretty faces, part of the competition involves fundraising for the Variety Club of Great Britain in the two months leading up to the national final . The top fund raiser will be crowned Miss Variety Club and fast tracked through to the final 20 and she will appear at Variety Club events throughout the following 12 months. . Great Lengths will be choosing a Great Lengths Stunning Style award winner and styling the contestants hair with a 30 strong hair team plus a team of 20 make up artists from Helen E, the Midlands – based cosmetic company, who will offer the winner the chance to star in Helen E branding nationwide.
