Angola's Leila Lopes was crowned Miss Universe 2011 during the live pageant finale held Monday, September 12, 2011, in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Though already one of the favorites, no one predicted Miss Angola Leila Lopes to end up as Miss Universe 2011 winner, but thanks to her great performance during the finals, especially during the final Q & A.

Miss Angola was able to beat 88 other lovely candidates, including mega favorites Ukraine (who finished 1st Runner Up), Philippines (3rd Runner Up) and China (4th Runner Up).

This is the first time that Angola has won the Miss Universe title.

Angola started participating in Miss Universe only in 1998 and only had 3 semi-finalists before winning the prestigious Miss Universe 2011 title.

Shamcey Supsup, 3rd Runner Up, Miss Universe 2011

Miss Philippines Shamcey Supsup finished 3rd Runner Up in the just-concluded Miss Universe 2011 pageant held in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

As Miss Universe 2011 3rd Runner Up, Shamcey Supsup was able to place higher than our last year's rep Venus Raj who finished 4th Runner Up.

Congrats Shamcey! The whole Philippines is so proud of you.

I believe though that she should have placed higher than 3rd Runner Up for giving an impressive answer during the final Q&A.

During the Q&A portion, Shamcey was asked with the question "Would you change your religious beliefs to marry the person that you love? Why or why not?", she answered: "If I had to change my religious beliefs, I would not marry the person that I love because the first person that I love is God who created me and I have my faith and my principles and this is what makes me who I am. And if that person loves me, he should love my God too."

Watch a video of Shamcey Supsup during the Miss Universe 2011 Q&A portion:


Last year, Venus finished 4th Runner Up only probably because of her not so impressive answer during the final Q & A, but for this year, Shamcey did so well during the interview portion and yet, a 3rd Runner Up placement is the highest she could reach in the pageant.

This just means that even if a Miss Universe candidate gives the best and most impressive answer during the final Q & A, it's not always a guarantee that she'll get the title. It's still based on to whom the judges and the Miss Universe Organization want to give the title.

But I must admit, the competition was really tough and the top winners, Angola and Ukraine, deserved their placements.

Angel Locsin and Phil Younghusband for Century Tuna

Angel Locsin and Phil Younghusband reveal their sexier and healthier bods on their first TVC together as Century Tuna endorsers.


In her previous ad for Century Tuna, Angel Locsin was with hunk actor Derek Ramsay, and this time, she's with rumored boyfriend Phil Younghusband of the Azkals.

Did Phil replace Derek as Century Tuna endorser? Or Derek also has a new one coming up?

Even before this new ad of Angel and Phil, Derek has already appeared solo in a Century Tuna Paella TVC.

The new Century Tuna TVC featuring Angel Locsin and Phil Younghusband has already started airing on TV today and it's really hot.

And I super love this particular scene of Phil and Angel:

Kilig-much!

Watch the said TVC:


Behind-the-scene video:

Other endorsers of Century Tuna are real-life lovers Piolo Pascual and KC Concepcion for "Corned Tuna" and Aljur Abrenica for Century Tuna Healthylicious Hotdog.

Phoebe Hui (model) naked photos leaked

Phoebe Hui, a model in Hong Kong, has admitted she is the woman on naked photos which have been leaked online recently.

The leaked photos show Phoebe Hui taking pictures of herself without her clothes on.

The Phoebe Hui leaked photos reportedly came from her mobile phone which she lost last June 17, AsiaOne has reported.

And apparently, whoever found the cellphone has leaked whatever naked pictures she has there.

Because of those leaked photos, Phoebe Hui is now being dubbed as the Asian version of "Green Lantern" actress Blake Lively, who was allegedly the woman in scandalous iPhone photos which have also been leaked online just last month.

But unlike Blake Lively, Phoebe has gamely admitted that she owns those pictures. "I really didn’t expect the photos to be leaked as my cell phone is protected by password," she was quoted as saying in the AsiaOne report. "I hope everyone don’t take my photos too seriously. Many female celebrities overseas are doing this."

Some people suspect that Phoebe Hui intentionally leaked the photos to gain publicity, which she denied in the interview.

Blake Lively alleged iPhone scandal: More photos leaked!

Blake Lively has denied last Wednesday, June 1, thru Blake's publicist that she's the woman on iPhone scandal photos (there were 4) which leaked online the previous day.

(Read: Blake Lively naked scandal photos are fake, says rep)However, more and more pics were leaked later on Wednesday alleging that the woman is indeed Blake Lively. Here's one of those pics, courtesy of TMZ:

According to TMZ, the hacker who has the possession of the alleged Blake Lively scandal photos has posted 17 more pics insisting that the woman holding an iPhone and doing self-shots is Blake Lively. "Oh, yes, Blake's rep. These are totally fake. We really, really believe you. Want moar? BTW, thanks for all the faps," the photo caption says.

TMZ has also conducted an online poll asking its readers if they believe the woman in scandal iPhone photos is Blake Lively.

Over 120,000 people voted and majority (78%) of the voters said "YES".

Blake Lively's alleged scandal photos have leaked while the actress is vacationing in Europe with new boyfriend Leonardo DiCaprio.

Blake Lively naked scandal photos are fake, says rep

Blake Lively alleged scandal photos hit the net Tuesday, May 31, but Blake Lively's camp says that they are 100 percent fake.

The alleged scandal photos of Blake Lively were posted on some websites, such as PerezHilton.com and blog.zap2it.com, where the Gossip Girl and Green Lantern star was shown taking photos of her naked self using an iPhone.

Blogger Perez Hilton titled his story "Gossip Girl Star Blake Lively Rocked By Naked Photos Leak!" and posted a link to five (5) NSFW scandal photos.

Blake Lively alleged naked photo (courtesy of PerezHilton.com)

But Blake's rep Leslie Sloane was quick to deny on Wednesday, June 1, that the woman in the scandal photos is Blake Lively.

"The photos of Blake Lively which have just surfaced on various websites including Perez Hilton and Zap2it are 100 percent fake," Blake's rep tells USMagazine.com, "Blake has never taken nude photos of herself. Blake will pursue legal action against the publication which initially published these photographs and any other outlets that republish them in any manner."

Blake Lively's alleged scandal pics surfaced amidst rumors that her new boyfriend is Hollywood A-lister Leonardo DiCaprio.
