Miss Puerto Rico Zuleyka Rivera Mendoza Takes Miss Universe Crown

Speaking of the Miss Universe pageant, by the way, the winner is Miss Puerto Rico Zuleyka Rivera Mendoza, who, rumor has it, promptly fainted moments after being crowned. If you want my opinion, I think she saw Donald Trump and freaked out. But anyways, “Zuleyka”? Sounds awfully Russian to be. But I digress. This is the second time Miss Puerto Rico has captured the crown since “Freddie” actress and former beauty pageant babe Denise Quinones did it in 2001. The runner up was Miss Japan Kuara Chibana. Personally, I think the metal chain as dress gag did it for Miss Puerto Rico. Isn’t that like, cheating or something?
