The only thing that amazes me when you put a bunch of people into one place isn’t that they do something stupid like boo a young woman just trying to win a beauty pageant, but that it doesn’t happen all the time. I know this from experience. Once, during a High School talent show, a group of guys were doing a terribly unfunny skit on stage. The rest of the crowd seemed content to let them make fools of themselves, but I, having a different plan, started booing them. After which, a couple of guys joined in, and before you knew it, the whole auditorium was booing the guys off the stage like it was Kids Night at the Apollo. True story.

If you’re one of those people who still watches such things as the Miss Universe beauty pageant, then you may be wondering who won last night’s hullabaloo. The winner is Miss Japan Riyo Mori, a 20-year-old dancer who dreams of opening her own international dance studio. She’ll be able to do so if she doesn’t go bad like past beauty pageant winners. (sough*Tara Connor*cough). Miss USA Rachel Smith came in 4th, probably because she slipped and fell during the evening gown segment of the show. You know, it’s hard to look sexy when you’re sitting on your ass, but I digress.

Miss America Lauren Nelson, not to be confused with Miss USA Rachel Rachel Smith (what’s the difference, you ask? Um, probably one is Miss America and the other one is Miss USA, but other than that — who knows), recently participated in a New York law enforcement sting of online predators using pictures of her from when she as 14-years old. The whole thing is, of course, a big PR stunt for Miss America, probably because they’re trying to show the country that Miss America is respectable, while Miss USA is, well, not. You gotta admit, beauty queen winners have gotten a pretty big black eye lately.

When did it become mandatory for all Miss USA contestants (and winners) to have killer abs? Miss Tennessee Rachel Smith continues that long, much-approved off tradition with her tone, sleek, and oh-dear-God-that’s-a-nice body. Not only is our new Miss USA gorgeous in every way, but she’s a graduate of Journalism school in Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. And as we all know, Belmont University is the Tennessee version of, um, Nashville University? Anyhoo. Miss USA. Bikini pictures. Enjoy.

Some people watch the beauty pagents for the grace, the beauty, and answers to world problems, but me, I watch them for the swimsuit (aka the bikini) segment. You know, when they have all these really gorgeous girls with their perfect bodies strut around in skimpy two-piece bikinis while wearing high heels? It’s basically porn minus, well, all that porn action. Here is your visual gallery of the Miss USA 2007 bikini segment, with the Top 10 finalists for the crown. Of course we all know by now that Miss Tennessee, Rachel Smith eventually won. And yes, she looks mighty fine in a bikini. (And how about Miss Texas? Nice! Miss Rhode Island isn’t bad either. Actually, they’re not all bad, but hey, only one can win, right? Personally they’ve all won my Fantasy Bikini Scenario of the day, but that’s another post…)

If you were watching Miss USA late last night (oh who am I kidding, nobody watches this stuff), then you know that Rachel Smith, aka Miss Tennessee, was recently crowned Miss USA, which I’m told is different from Miss America, although how it’s different, I absolutely, positively have no idea. All I know about Miss USA is that Donald Trump owns it and Tara Conner held the crown in 2006, and oh boy was she fun to have around! We can only hope that Miss Tennessee’s reign as Miss USA will be just as memorable. Don’t let us down, Rachel! Can I buy you a drink?
