I will always remember her as Galadriel.
Does that include how women and non-muslims are treated by muslims, or must we tolerate Islam because it disguises itself as religion?

My, but didn't she recite that line perfectly? Never any trouble with her. I can see now why she's a star. (/sarcasm)
Besides Helen Thomas, who is the exception to the rule, is there a Lebanese woman who ISN'T good-looking?
I think these folks weren't just Lebanese-Australians!
Episodes from past Miss Universe contests:
1959 - After Miss USA, Loretta Powell, charged that Miss World, Corine Rottschafer of Holland, was "padded in the bra," Corine disproved the charge by changing into a one-piece bathing suit and being measured with a tape. Her 37-22-37 measurements were in fact larger by a fraction of an inch around the chest.
1965 - A Syrian official protested after Miss Israel, Shlomit Gat, spoke to Miss Syria, Raymonde Doucco. "I can't talk to her", Miss Syria whined, "I can't and I don't want to. I've had instructions not to talk to her." Miss Israel remarked with a sigh, "I can't understand this silly behavior. After all, it's only a beauty contest - not a summit meeting."
1976 - Nine contestants withdrew from the Miss World contest in protest against the presence of two entrants from South Africa - one black and one white. They were Miss India, Miss Mauritius (Anne-Lise Lesur), Miss Liberia (Laurine Johnson), Miss Malaysia, Miss Philippines (Joy Conde), Miss Seychelles, Miss Sri Lanka, Miss Swaziland (Zanella Tshabalala), and Miss Yugoslavia. Julia Morley lashed out at the group that organized the anti-apartheid protests, the South African non-racial Olympic committee, "They've had their pound of flesh," she said, "Aren't they satisfied?"
1977 - Miss Swaziland (Zanella Tshabalala) walked out for the second straight year, in a protest against the entry of white Miss South Africa, Vanessa Wannenburg. She was joined by five other contestants - Miss India (Veena Prakash), Miss Indonesia, Miss Malaysia, Miss Philippines (Anna Melissa Veneracion), and Miss Singapore. Pageant officials disqualified two others - Miss Italy & Miss Malta, both 15 - because the minimum age to
compete was 17.
1993 - After photographs were published of Miss Lebanon, Ghada Turk, and Miss Israel, Tamara Porat, smiling shoulder-to-shoulder, Lebanon's top public prosecutor intended to try Miss Lebanon for "collaborating with the enemy." Miss Lebanon claimed she did not realize she was standing next to Miss Israel when the photo was taken.
She sounds like a beauty contestant: I just want to buy everyone a puppy.
Aussie girls as fair as her got gang raped by Lebanese animals who are Muslim. Many have been sent to prison. For years the same animals were going wild on Cronulla beach, which Blanchette seems oblivious to. The Lebanese Muslims started this all
It's about none of that.

No kidding. wonder why she thinks just because she is from there that she can calm things down? My, my they think a lot of themselves dont' they? Typical "so called star" whether from hollyweird or elsewhere.
Momo to puffed up celebrity know nothings:
Shut up and sing.
A famous movie star has politely asked them to stop, I'm sure they will settle right down now.

That beauty part is debatable! :P
and, of course, up is the opposite of down.
