Venus Raj can regain her crown, if…

Dethroned 2010 Binibining Pilipinas-Universe Maria Venus Raj was given a chance to regain her title in one condition.

Binibining Pilipinas Charities, Inc. (BPCI) stated that their decision is due to "humanitarian reasons" and they are willing to reverse the decision if Venus Raj would be able to secure "a valid Philippine passport."

It seems the organizers are in damage control mode after many people shows public support to the said beauty queen and they don't want this issue to blow out of proportion.

Last month, Venus' Binibining Pilipinas-Universe title was stripped off after they found inconsistencies between her personal account of her birth and birth certificate records.

Binibining Pilipinas Universe 2010 Maria Venus Raj stripped of crown; Runner-up Helen Nicolette Henson will be replacing her

Binibining Pilipinas organizers decided to stripped Maria Venus Raj of her crown as Binibining Pilipinas-Universe 2010 after they found inconsistencies between her personal account of her birth and birth certificate records.

Both Venus and her mother said she was born in Doha, Qatar while her birth certificate indicated that she was born in the Philippines.

Raj will be replaced by Bb. Pilipinas runner-up Helen Nicolette Henson to represent the Philippines to the Miss Universe 2010 Pageant.

Former pageant beauties Anjanette Abayari (Bb. Pilipinas-Universe, 1991), Tisha Silang (Bb. Pilipinas-Universe, 1998), and Janelle Bautista (Bb. Pilipinas-Universe, 1999) was also stripped of their title due to irregularities.

Heidi Montag's crazy performance during Miss Universe 2009

Heidi Montag-Pratt made a fool of herself during the 2009 Miss Universe competition in the Bahamas.

Aside from her terrible lip-synched with her single "Body Language", Montag's performance is terribly and embarrassingly BAD!!!! Oh lord!! She obviously cannot dance!!!

She shows to the world what a "wannabe" really means.

Heidi Montag-Pratt will perform at Miss Universe Pageant

It seems Heidi Montag-Pratt is serious in continuing her singing career. She will be performing at the Miss Universe 2009 Pageant competition in August 23rd on NBC.

According to Access Hollywood, the former “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!" contestant will be singing her newest single “Turn Ya Head” from her album, “Unleashed,” which came out earlier this month.

Flo Rida, Kelly Rowland, and David Guetta are also set to join the said event and it will be co-hosted by Access host Billy Bush and Celebrity Apprentice star Claudia Jordan.

Miss California Carrie Prejean Nude Photo Scandal; violates Pageant contract

With her controversial answer against same-sex marriage in the recent Miss USA pageant, many become interested on Miss California Carrie Prejean moral past.

The conservative beauty queen is now on the hot spot after compromising semi-nude photos of her hits the net. Dirty.com leaked photos of Carrie Prejan who is topless and just wearing pink panties and apparently totally nude photos will emerge.

According to Carrie's rep. via TMZ, "This was a photo that was taken several years ago, when Carrie first started modeling. In her naivete, an agent convinced her to pose for this photo to submit to a lingerie company, claiming they could make her the next Victoria's Secret model. She has since learned what a lie that was, and what a mistake it was to have the photo taken."

The problem is, Miss California violated her contract with Pageant's "highest ethical and moral standards", Carrie Prejean lied in writing that she never posed nude or partially nude for any photo.

A big possibility that they will strip her again, not her clothes but her title.

Miss California Carrie Prejean' honesty created controversy

It seems the usual "World Peace" answer isn't enough.

First runner-up winner Miss California Carrie Prejean captures more publicity than the winner of Miss USA 2009 for her controversial answer to a question about same-sex marriage from celebrity blogger Perez Hilton.

Perez Hilton: “Vermont recently became the 4th state to legalize same-sex marriage. Do you think every state should follow suit. Why or why not?”

Carrie Prejean: “Well I think its great that Americans are able to choose one or the other. We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage. And you know what, in my country, in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody out there, but that’s how I was raised and that’s how I think it should be between a man and a woman. Thank you very much.”

To much honest that cost her the Miss USA crown and led to her being called a 'dumb bitch' by Perez.
