miss michigan wins miss usa

Miss Michigan, Rima Fakih, took the title for Miss USA 2010 last night.  She’s the first Arab-American to ever win!  I know her winning the title won’t help her cause at the airport, but that’s still one GIANT positive step for middle-easterners in the media.  Nice work Rima!

Here’s a video of Rima getting crowned:

About

Although comedy is her profession, Nadine has accomplished a lot in her young age. She is a national champion black belt, a world-class soccer player, and an avid snowboarder. She started playing soccer at the age of 4, and continued playing through college where she majored in Biology, but quickly realized her destiny was to tell jokes, not to wear a lab coat. So she decided to be funny while finishing her Bachelors Degree in biology and continued on to get her M.B.A. Nadine’s comedy style is much like her athleticism, fearless. She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio. Nadine’s TV, Radio, Writing credits include: national commercials, talking head roles on E! Entertainment, Showtime’s Hot Tamales Live, The Skinny: Fat Free News, The Sunny Side of The Truth: Real World Hollywood, TVgasm, Zazreport, Daddy’s Girls, Jerseylicious, celebrity interviews on Mania TV, a weekly half-hour television show that syndicates to colleges across the country for National Lampoon and a nightly radio show on XM Satellite Radio.

    and if you really think she actually won..keep dreaming. I find it interesting that someone that trips and that non graceful won. Wanna bet it was BECAUSE she was arab american.

    I seem to recall reading somewhere that she publicly supports HAMMAS. YMMV.

    I don’t care if she once went on a blind date with Osama Bin Laden and enjoys dipping kittens in napalm. She’s totally hot, and that’s all I really want or expect from Miss USA.

    She supports Hamas…and won a stripping contest. Nice role model.

    She’s beautiful. I find the backlash to be ridiculous. Good for her.
