All tag results for 'finalists'

Miss Pennsylvania USA 2012 Sheena Monnin has resigned from her beauty queen role in the Miss Universe Organization. She claims that she witnessed "fraudulent" behavior by officials at the Miss USA Pageant this past weekend where she alleges the top five finalists were already selected "before the show ever started."

The 27-year-old told her Facebook followers that another contestant "saw a folder lying open to a page that said 'FINAL SHOW Telecast, June 3, 2012' and she saw the places for Top 5 already filled in."

She explains her decision for "voluntarily, completely, and utterly" removing herself from Donald Trump's pageant system in another statement that reads:

To celebrate their thirteen finalists, American Idol threw a huge bash in their honor Thursday night.

The queen of the judges' table Jennifer Lopez came ready to dance in a gorgeous party dress by Randi Rahm, Louboutins and jewelry from H. Stern.

J.Lo shined as the belle of the ball and her three dates weren't so shabby either!

Randy Jackson, Steven Tyler, and Ryan Seacrest were all true to their personal style in the party suits they arrived in!

Wonder if Groupon will sell tickets for this tour as well…

This summer, NBC's The Voice will go on tour in a show featuring the eight finalists, who are as follows:

Beverly McClellan, Vicci Martinez, Dia Frampton, Javier Colon, Nakia, Xenia, Casey Weston and Frenchie Davis.

Unfortunately, the show's coaches will NOT join the group on tour because they weren't being offered enough $$$!

Such a shame! Obvi this tour would be WAY more appealing if fans knew they'd see Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine, and co. perform.

Here's what Blake Shelton tweeted about the tour:
