From 51 to 1: 2010 Miss USA Crowned in Las Vegas
May 16, 2010
LAS VEGAS (AP) -- A 24-year-old brunette from Michigan has beaten out four blondes and 46 other women for the 2010 Miss USA title after nearly stumbling in her evening gown.
Rima Fakih of Dearborn, Mich., won the pageant Sunday night after swimsuit, evening gown and interview competitions at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. During the competition, Fakih nearly fell while finishing her walk in a long, strapless gown because of the length of its train, but she recovered without a spill and went on to win.
In the interview, Fakih was asked whether she thought birth control should be paid for by health insurance, and she said she believed it should. Miss Oklahoma USA Morgan Elizabeth Woolard was first runner-up after handling a question about Arizona's new immigration law. She said she supports it.

Lebanon has had a Miss Lebanon Pagent since 1950 and has sent its winner to compete in Miss Universe and others.
The author of those bizarre links would have us believe that this is all just part of a grand ruse that the Lebanese have been working on since 1950.
My 2 cent’s worth ... she isn’t that hot.
I can only assume that you are either kidding or blind...She’s beautiful
She reminds me of Kim Kardashian
“The system worked” as Napolitano would say.
For the Muslims... I guess ... :-)
That does not mean what she said about her is not true.
“Rima Fakih, Miss Michigan USA, who will compete in Sunday Nights pageant broadcast on NBC, is a Dearbornistan Shiite Muslim who is a supporter of Hezbollah and used the pageant name at a forum promoting Islamic subjugation of women.
“She was born in the Hezbollah stronghold of Srifa in South Lebanon, which Israel was forced to attack in the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war because it was a site of Hezbollah weaponry. Her devout Muslim family comes from the Hezbollah-controlled South Lebanon.
“Intelligence sources confirm that at least three of Fakihs relatives are currently top officials in Hezbollah and that at least eight Fakih family members were Hezbollah terrorists killed by the Israelis in past Israel-Lebanese wars and interventions.
“Some of her family members were originally in Harakat Amal [the Shi’ite Amal militia], which is now essentially a part of Hezbollah. Theres a reason that even Al-Manar TVHezbollahs official TV networkis high on Fakih in the Miss USA pageant.”
What’s all this stuff in her bio (according to one post) that she is a “Catholic”?
She went to a Catholic school.
Ivanka Trump is converting and marrying a Jewish man. Trump has dealings in the Arab world. I smell a fix.
The article says she observes both Muslim and Christian hokidays; she’s a Dhimmi.
Me too.
She has that same slut look.
Everyone celebrate diversity! YAY, ALA_ACK_BAR.
Hey I know they could be Catholic parents but I’m just sayin’....Ok you’re right, the only other Christian I know of with the name Hussein is our President.
Maybe this family is multicultural, like we are all supposed to be.
Could be an Arab Christian.
