MISS COLOMBIOBAMA

According to an AFP report, the Miss Colombia organization says that the new Miss Colombia 2010 Catalina Robayo would "...love to meet U.S. President Barack Obama and travel to Dubai, to meet its modern and mega infrastructure."

With the possible exception of Dean Harris, Miss Colombia 2010 may be the only person in the world who still has faith in President Obama. Needless to say, Dean Harris will extend an official invitation to Miss Colombia to visit Beauty School to deliver the 2011 commencement address.

QUEEN OF CONTROVERSY

From en.terra.com: Ever since Natalia Navarro was crowned Miss Colombia back in Nov. 2009, she has generated controversy. Everything from her use of colloquial "street" Spanish to her physical appearance has come under scrutiny in her native Colombia, where beauty pageants and the cult of perfection inspire passionate debate.

But it seems that some are taking their constructive criticism too far. Many followers of the beauty pageant circuit in Colombia have joined together to campaign for Navarro to get a nose job to correct what they see as a larger-than-life schnoz before the Miss Universe competition happens in a few months. Some who are pushing the campaign have even referred to the 21-year old stunner's nose as an "eagle beak." MORE HERE...
