Miss Universe 2007: Miss Sweden drops out amid criticism

Miss Sweden 2007, Isabel Lestapier Winqvist, dropped out Miss Universe 2007 pageant because of a change of heart among Swedes who think that the competition is degrading to women.

Miss Universe organizers dispute Swedes point of view by saying that the contest carefully selects women who are intelligent, well-mannered and cultured.

"With each passing year our ratings continue to get better because of the beautiful and intelligent women who participate in our competitions," Miss Universe co-owner Donald Trump said.

Isabel Lestapier Winqvist was crowned Miss Sweden on April 21, by her precursor, Josephine Alhanko, who was semi-finalist at the Miss Universe 2006 pageant, held in Hollywood.

"We will miss Miss Sweden." was the laconic comment of Miss Universe organizers, Miss Sweden contest organizer Panos Papadopoulos said.

Lucie Hadasova topless photo turns Miss Universe 2007 red hot

Miss Czech Republic and Miss Universe contestant Lucie Hadasova topless picture surface; the picture was published on the front page of Prague's tabloid Aha.

A beauty pageant without some nude pictures is like bread without butter; it still tastes good, just not good enough. The latest topless picture to surface is the one of Miss Czech Republic Lucie Hadasova.

The nude photo could turn into a true nightmare for Lucie Hadasova. Miss Nevada USA Katie Rees was dethroned from this year's competition after her racy pictures emerged on the Web.
Criticism surrounding the recent withrawal of Miss Sweden from the ultimate beauty pageant could lead Miss Universe organizers to sanction Lucie's topless picture.

Her odds to be crowned Miss Universe 2007 are currently sitting at +3200 at BetUS.com, however it could be wise not to bet on her pending developments on the nude picture.
