She kinda maybe would have been Miss USA if she hadn’t completely blown the interview portion of the pageant by opening her mouth and shoving her foot in it. Coming in second didn’t sit too well with Carrie Prejean, and arguments ensued between the beauty queen and the rulers of the Miss USA pageant, Keith Lewis and Shanna...  Read More »

On this day in 1982, the Steve Miller Band topped the charts with their song “Abracadabra.” Fun facts about Steve Miller’s “Abracadabra”…..

Answer: Heidi Montag and Miss Universe. Question: What are two words you never thought you’d hear in the same sentence? The 2009 Miss Universe Pageant was broadcast live Sunday night on NBC from Atlantis on Paradise Island in the Bahamas. And for some crazy reason, Heidi Montag was chosen to perform. What. The. Hell. I hardly know where to start. First of all, Heidi’s ensemble was a total rip off of the flesh colored glittery number that Britney Spears...  Read More »
