Miss USA 2010 Rima Fakih: A Champion Pole Dancer!
She’s only been queen for a day but the new Miss USA is already feeling the heat from the media spotlight.
On Sunday, Michigan’s Rima Fakih became the first Arab American to win the beauty pageant.
Now TMZ is out with pictures of Fakih winning a very different competition.
The website says there are pictures of the beauty queen back in 2007, clinching the “Stripper 101″ pole dancing competition for a radio station.
Fakih reportedly won jewelry, gift cards, adult toys and a stripper pole.

Oh my gulay, I am having a shock of my life. I just can’t believe that the newly crowned Miss USA would suddenly be subjected to a scandal!
So…
Hindi lang pala dito sa Pilipinas pumapalya ang screening ng mga beauty pageant contestants ha! Kahit din sa abroad may loophole din pala. This controversy reminds me a little bit of Venus Raj issue from way back. However, feel ko lang na mas ‘petty’ yung scandal nung Bb. Pilipinas-Universe 2010 natin compared to this one!
Anyway, ano kaya masasabi ni Donald Trump?
Sa tingin ninyo ba: will Rima Fakih keep the crown or will Mr. Trump say “You’re fired!”
Abangan…
Thanks to TMZ for the photo above!

Oh dear! but then again we can’t judge her because of her past(she might needed to survive to do that? don’t know… anyway, i think pole dancing is a talent. Tried that for excercise but I needed to stop on the first trial kasi it felt like the pole is going to kras sa bigat ko. hahaha
I get your point Chi.
Kaya lang, tingin ko medyo scandalous ito for her dahil yung title na napanalunan niya nung 2007 ay ‘Stripper 101′.
Hmmm…
Not a good sounding title for a Miss USA winner. Not to mention, Arab-American pa siya. Alam ko kasi, medyo conservative ang mga Muslim brothers and sisters natin.
Karamba! it’s quite scandalous indeed.
she’s a dancer, therefore she’s an artist. DIGS?
sige, dancer na po kung dancer.
ahaha!!!
Just a thought: normal na ata sa kanila ang pole dancing. Not unless na magbare naked siya sa lansangan ng hollywood e ayun, scandal to the highest power yun.
Hindi magaalala si Donald Trump dyan. Hehhe.
P.S.
At saka ang alam ko e may competitions pa ng pole dancing sa kanila. Malay mo Snow, maging Olympic sport yan. Hahhahaha.
oo nga ano? why not!
kunsabagay may ballroom dancing olympics na rin naman so baka hindi nalalayong magkaroon ng pole dancing olympics.
no problem naman daw sabi ni trump, she can keep daw her crown according to the boss
speaking of the trumps, i think Ivanka is hot.
agree fz, mana sa tatay nya na hot(NOT), ayun nakalbo sa sobrang pagka hot.
@fz/lee- i agree ivanka trump is indeed a beauty! fast facts about donald trump’s daughter:
:In July 2009, after studying with Rabbi Elie Weinstock from Ramaz School, Ivanka Trump converted from Catholicism to Judaism and took the name Yael. The beth din that converted her included Rabbi Haskel Lookstein. On October 25, 2009 she married Jared Kushner, owner of The New York Observer, in front of 500 guests at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey.

i’d still make out wit her. lol
masyado lang talagang maraming moralista at hypocrit kahit pa sa remika pero kung titingnan mo wala namang masama kahit pa sya originally from muslim kawntri, marami na rin namang modern at open na muslims, kung nabasa mo yung post sa huffington, my muslim guy dun na panay ang comment at very open sya.
Parekoy Lee,
Naalala ko si Ted Haggard – yung sikat na evangelist sa merika. Mega kontra sa mga homosexuals at atheists (alam kong nakipagsagutan pa siya kay Richard Dawkins dun sa documentary nya na “The God Delusion”). Yun pala, isa ding numero unong epokrito at idiot ang loko. Nahulihan na may kasamang callboy sa hotel. Bistado ang loko. Buti nga.
bwahahaha ganun naman talaga diba?

lang maglalabasan yung mga ganyan,yung iba naman parang
nananadya at gustong manira ng dream ng my dream matapos paghirapang marating yung pangarap nila,my mga ganung tao noh?sarap hatawin ng pole bar nyahaha
Exactly! Imagine what the BPCI did to Venus Raj? She was dethroned and then enthroned due to birth certificate scandal!
Well, sana naman maawa sila sa mga babaeng na-spend ng effort, time and money to join a major beauty pageant.
Tama ka Mareng Lee, may mga taong kay sarap hatawin ng pole bar lalo na kung nang-aapi ng kapwa tao…hehehe…
mga inggit lang mga yun kasi wala silang byuti and brain gaya naten bwahahaha baka ako mahambalos ng pole bar dito
ang nakakapagtaka naman sa mga taong yan, bakit di nila nakita yun nung simula?diba kasama yun sa mga req ng mga kandidates?kung kelan nakoronahan na saka my ganung issue?nakalusot? tapos sila din ang babanat? nakakahiya sila, yung organisasyon i mean.
Mareng Lee,
I guess it all boils down to publicity. Sabi nga sa showbiz, good or bad publicity is still a publicity.
Honestly, I love this news. Especially if you live in the US, you get bombarded with a lot of negative news about arabs, muslims and anyone from the middle east.
I have a straight friend David, he’s Lebanese at napaka-uber gwapo, i blogged about him, mga kalokohan namen in Philadelphia sa reyna elena and truly enjoyed his company. Lebanese people are fun people and they are so damn great to be with, maloloka kayo. In fact, i feel that mostly na mga tiga-middle east actually. Kaya, I know napaka-negative nang mga news about them, but if you hang around with them, di ko getz ang negative news.
nakakagulat nga yung news na ito la kapitana. imagine, isang araw pa lang nakoronahang miss usa tapos lumabas hetong picture niya sa pole dancing. anyway, i just hope rima fakih and venus raj will emerge as the last 2 standing ladies sa miss universe in august.
isang malaking hamon sa kanila heto dahil pareho silang nakaladkad sa scandal.
anu scandal ni venus ba? diko kasi nasubaybayan story nya ang alam kolang e yung nationality pero pinay nanay nya diba? kasi yung Raj na surname e hindi muslim, hindu surname yun, eniweh wala naman akong alam tungkol sa news at story ni venus raj,diko nasubaybayang basahin.
Not so long ago, BPCI dethroned her due to birth certificate inconsistencies. You can read the story here gurl:

http://barriosiete.com/lets-help-reinstate-ms-venus-raj-as-rep-for-bb-pilipinas-universe-sign-the-petition/
Then, BPCI enthroned her again due to humanitarian reasons daw!
http://barriosiete.com/dethroned-bb-pilipinas-universe-venus-raj-will-be-reinstated-for-humanitarian-reasons/
But everything is under the bridge, Venus Raj now has a passport and will compete for the Miss Universe 2010 to be held in August.
kamahalan, ako bilib sayo, bakit sayo walang makabawi ng korona mo?nag pole dancer ka rin nung araw diba? pole ba o pole-sebo?
naka-welding na po kasi ang korona ng kamahalan kaya walang maka-agaw…hehehe…
Ako e palosebo ang gamit parekoy sa pole dancing…kaya dulas ako ng dulas. Litsi. Hahha.
unfair unfair unfair, its a radio dare and not the real thing. Have you seen any men customer? Its more like all ladies night stag. WTF!
typical na promo yan dito sa mga bars sa Amerika. i don’t think that will affect her title. kasayahan lang yon. radio promo ba. it’s not something na she did professionally.

“Miss Hezbollah is now Miss USA,” declared conservative radio talk show host Debbie Schlussel, saying that Fakih’s relatives in Lebanon had ties to the terrorist organization based there. Schlussel also said Fakih received some financial backing from onetime Hezbollah supporter Imad Hamad — or, as Schlussel put it, Fakih’s “bid for the pageant was financed by an Islamic terrorist.” Suggesting the pageant was “rigged,” Schlussel wrote off Fakih’s victory to a “politically correct, Islamo-pandering climate.”
Conservative blogger Michelle Malkin saw a conspiracy afoot, too — generic rather than Muslim-specific this time. Malkin mocked Fakih as a “gaffetastic” contestant who tripped over her gown as well as over her answer to a question about birth control — exposing Fakih’s ignorance, Malkin argued, about what constitutes a “controlled substance” and what the purpose of health care is. “Looks like the Miss USA pageant didn’t want to risk the wrath of the open-borders mob,” Malkin said.

Immigration was in fact another flashpoint of political controversy over the contest. Runner-up Morgan Elizabeth Woolard of Oklahoma was asked for her views on Arizona’s recent immigration law, a question that drew boos from the crowd before the judge — actor Oscar Nunez of “The Office” — could even finish getting it out.
When he did deliver the question, asking whether immigration enforcement “should be mandated by the state or by the federal government,” Woolard replied that she was “a huge believer in states’ rights,” then added: “I think it’s perfectly fine for Arizona to create that law, and I’m against illegal immigration. But I’m also against racial profiling, so I see both sides in this issue.” You can watch the exchange here:
A lot of judgmental people in the house. Perfect?!
