A dethroned beauty queen from Myanmar swiped her $100,000 tiara after she was ousted Wednesday for being rude and lying, pageant officials said. May Myat Noe had an ungrateful attitude since she was crowned Miss Asia Pacific World in May — even after sponsors paid her $10,000 plastic surgery tab, said David Kim , media director for the South Korea-based pageant. "We thought she should be more beautiful ... so we sent her to the hospital to operate on her breasts," Kim said. The pageant hoped to turn the 18-year-old into a regional megastar and booked singing gigs and video deals for the teen. But Noe was unappreciative of every g

Getting to Know Courtney Thorpe - Miss World Australia 2014

How did you become interested in pageants? I was looking for a way to push through my insecurities and challenge myself to truly believe that I like who I am, and decided that pageants would be a good way to start. Little did I know that they would teach me more about myself than I ever thought possible and made me realise it isn’t about liking every single thing about yourself, it is about being completely self-aware and accepting the good with the bad and to never stop striving to improve on who you are physically, mentally and emotionally. How does it feel to represent Australia in Miss World 2014? Unbelievable! It is a feeling I don’t even know how to explain. It is a mix of excitement, pride, nerves and gratitude with a little bit of pressure all mixed into one strange but amazing feeling! More than anything I feel privileged to have been given the opportunity to represent my country in something I have worked so hard for. Tell me about your country and

Miss Spain comes out of the closet

A two-time national beauty queen for Spain has outed herself on Instagram as the first openly gay national pageant winner.   Patricia Yurena , Miss Spain in 2008 and again in 2013, recently posted a sexy Instagram pic of her and her lover, Vanesa Cortes, with the caption “Romeo and Juliet”— effectively announcing to the world which way this beauty queen swings.   The Miss Universe runner-up and Cortes , a DJ on the Spanish house circuit, are pictured cozying up in bed while gazing deeply into each other’s eyes.   Social media has openly supported the 24-year-old Castilian beauty queen, prompting her gratitude on Twitter: “Thanks to everyone for their comments,” she said. “I published the picture spontaneously and in an impulsive manner.”   Beauty pageants have historically been pretty, ahem, straight-laced.
