Miss Universe 2013: 10 eye-popping moments

Commendation are in order for the new overlook cosmos, Gabriela Isler of Venezuela, who beat out 85 other worldwide beauties Saturday evening at Moscow’s Crocus town auditorium, wearing a shimmering shiny dress.
While it’s another year of bleached perma-smiles, bizarro-glam costumery that make an ’80s Cher gaze unassuming, and suspiciously impressive résumés, for all the glitter and iridescent surplus of Miss Venezuela’s finale dress, the event itself appeared a little lackluster this year. perhaps it was the absence of magnificently cheeky owner Andy Cohen paired with the pure cheesiness of Giuliana Rancic? Or possibly it was the lack of cringe-worthy fashion dialogue from common suppose and method commentator Jeannie Mai? Or perhaps my crazy-meter broke from the VMAs and Kanye rants and that Emmy melodious number? Well, thankfully, it’s not completely broken, because there were still abounding of stupid views to spare. Behold, my choices for the 10 eye-popping overlook Universe 2013 moments:

1. A Nick Jonas shout-out. At smallest she didn’t drag a Hillary Swank. Did Miss cosmos 2012 Olivia Culpo express gratitude her JoBro beau during her parting speech? After express gratitudeing her family, associates, and the Donald, she said she couldn’t delay to start a new section with a “very special individual who places a grin on my face every day.”

2. Don’t despise them because they’re attractive; despise them because they’re … superheroes? evidently attractiveness rulers save inhabits too. rather than of baton-twirling, flame-throwing extracurricular taglines, overlook Dominican Republic “helped consign a baby when she was 17″ and Miss Switzerland “once pulled a drowning girl out of a pool.” C’mon, let’s feel insufficient simultaneously!

3. Angelina Jolie was a contestant! Well, sorta. Jin Ye, Miss China, was named the Chinese Angelina Jolie. Do you glimpse the resemblance? But where’s the vial of Billy Bob Thornton’s body-fluid? Or the brood of varied, aesthetically pleasing young kids?

4. Nostalgia watch: Tara Lipinski as a referee. Or “Lara Lipinski” as Mel B. mispronounced the left number skater’s name. What young female didn’t augment up liking Olympic figure-skating gold when the tiny Tara won the 1998 Winter Olympics? Holy crap, she’s 31. Winter pipe aspirations never die!

5. referee Philip Kirkorov’s makeup usual. evidently Kirkorov is a megastar in Russia, but I had never perceived of this vocalist former to the pageant. Sure the gals probably spend hours perfecting their pouts, but I’m staining to understand how Kirkorov organises his bloated Dave Navarro/Jafar getup on the normal.

6. Weirdest beauty trick. Make an omelette and moisturize your face at the same time! overlook Nicaragua distributed with commentator Jeannie Mai her egg-white tilt: “Putting them on your face will help diminish lines and make your skin radiant.” Salmonella dangers are so yesterday!

7. referee Steven Tyler’s inquiry and overlook Venezuela’s worrisome response. In the ever-crucial Q&A piece, which has dastardly morphed from a test of the contestants’ fluency on world matters to a test of who best can evade responding the genuine question, Steven Tyler inquired: “What is your biggest fear and how do you plan to overwhelm it?” To which overlook V answered, “I accept as true we should overcome all of our fears and this in turn will make us all much stronger. and thusly we can become more powerful persons.” Now while I would have responded, becoming Steven Tyler’s face (and spiders), it appears either overlook Venezuela determined to go the farthest diplomatic path, or she doubts wholeheartedly not anything and thusly has no heart.
8. Who nicked all the hair gel and groundwork H from backstage? The soles of Brendon Urie’s shoes. The bare-faced fright! at the Disco vocalist slip-slided his way over the Crocus town auditorium stage accomplishing “Miss Jackson” and “I Write Sins Not Tragedies,” a throwback melody to make your aging pop-punk self seem vintage. (Apologies for the shoddy video below.)

9. The cresting moment. A clearly shell-shocked overlook Venezuela, her brain likely a gummy mess from report of her win, or possibly from the hairspray fumes and hefty problem of Venezuelan dignity travelling on her bears, didn’t get her flawless royal moment. Exiting overlook cosmos 2012 Olivia Culpo unintentionally fallen it on her! The repugnance, the repugnance! Eh, I believe the scarier moment came right after, when she was swarmed by 85 famished, undead beauty-queen losers.

10. The most heartwarming moment. Despite the present natural catastrophe tragedy threatening over her dwelling country, overlook Philippines, Ariella Arida, made a brave and elegant showing, breaking the peak 16 via a follower vote and eventually earning third runner-up. For a homeland that’s going through so much right now, though it’s not any consolation for the huge decrease of life initiated by Typhoon Haiyan, any good news is required.
