It’s that time of year again… time for the hottest ladies from all over the world to converge on the Miss Universe Pageant. For 2007, Miss Universe has a former pageant beauty to host. Vanessa Minnillo, 1999 Miss Teen USA, took the stage with co-host Mario Lopez to see what this year had to offer.

The CBS show “The View” has been especially entertaining as of late. First Star Jones announces her departure from the show a few days early, to the obvious surprise of Barbara Walters. Then Rosie O’Donnell gets Star’s spot, despite mixed feelings from the other co-hosts. And now Rosie is kicking the crap out of View co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck on the air.

In a star-studded two-hour event, the human beatbox (aka 25year-old Blake Lewis) was conquered by 17year-old Jordin Sparks. With a record 74 million votes cast, this American Idol finale was the biggest to date.

The contest came down to the stronger singer, Sparks, versus the better entertainer, Lewis. While Lewis was showboating and wooing the crowd, Sparks belted out her selections with simplicity and powerful vocals. In the end it was that vocal performance that garnered the majority of those 74 million votes.

Pictures of Victoria Beckham getting pulled over and ticketed on Tuesday by the Beverly Hills PD have recently surfaced, and the quality of the shots has us thinking that it might just be a hoax to get some attention before the launch of her new reality TV show.

According to The Daily Mail, "The star has had a run in with the law on the streets of Los Angeles, where she was pulled over outside a Hollywood shopping complex by a Beverly Hills officer, who ran checks on her British driver’s license."
