Tori Vance, Miss Teen Arizona, Busted For DUI

Tori Vance, the former Miss Arizona Teen USA, was arrested last weekend in L.A.

The charge: Suspicion of DUI. Law enforcement sources confirm Vance, 18, was pulled over Saturday around 9:15 p.m. for making an illegal U-turn in Hollywood.

The officer approached her Mini Cooper and Tori showed signs of intoxication, so the cop asked her to get out of the car. She was given a field sobriety test.

Spoiler alert: It did not go well.

Tori Vance was subsequently arrested, taken to a nearby police station and booked for misdemeanor DUI, also known as the Amanda Bynes.

Sources say that Tori registered a blood alcohol level of just over .08, the legal limit in California. Vance has yet to comment on the incident.

Danielle Doty Crowned Miss Teen USA!

The Miss Teen USA pageant crowned a new, gorgeous titleholder last night in Danielle Doty, an 18-year-old hailing from Harlingen, Texas.

Doty beat out Audra Mari of North Dakota to win the title and will take over from the reigning Miss Teen USA, Kamie Crawford of Maryland.

Alexis Swanstrom (Miss Teen California), Taylor Clark (Miss Teen Kansas) and Sydnee Stottlemyre (Miss Teen Missouri) rounded out the top five.

The prestigious beauty pageant, which streamed live online, did not take place in the United States, but rather at the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas.

Danielle Doty is the second Texan to be named Miss Teen USA. Christie Lee Woods, who later starred on The Amazing Race, won the title in 1996.

Other notable Miss Teen USA title holders include Bridgette Wilson-Sampras (1990), Vanessa Minnillo (1998) and Tami Farrell (2003), who later went on to become Miss California after Carrie Prejean stripped and was stripped of her crown.

Alyssa Campanella was named Miss USA last month.

Alyssa Campanella and Torrance Coombs: Dating!

Alyssa Campanella and Torrance Coombs, Miss USA 2011 and self-proclaimed second-rate actor, respectively, are a romantic item. How sweet!

On Monday, NHL star Paul Bissonnette joked on Twitter:

"[Alyssa's] a huge hockey fan. So you're telling me there's a chance?" Campanella's boyfriend, best known from HBO's The Tudors, set him straight.

"Nah, she's into second rate actors," he quipped.

Before the pageant, the actor Tweeted that he was "ridiculously proud" of his lady and encouraged his followers to tune in to watch her do her thing.

Shortly after Alyssa received her title, Coombs couldn't contain himself.

"Pardon my French, but holy f**k! She won! Congrats to Alyssa Campanella, Miss USA 2011," the actor Tweeted Sunday night. "I am a puddle."

Hard to blame the guy there. Congrats again to Alyssa ... and to Torrance for actually landing Alyssa. Nice work man ... surprising, but nice.

Alyssa Campanella Crowned Miss USA

Alyssa Campanella, an brown-haired beauty from California, topped 50 other women to win the coveted honor of Miss USA last night in Las Vegas.

In the 60th anniversary of the Donald Trump-owned pageant, Los Angeles native Campanella dazzled judges and viewers with her poise and looks.

As the 2011 winner of the pageant, Campanella takes over for 2010 winner Rima Fakih and will represent the USA at Miss Universe in September.

Alyssa Campanella didn't miss a beat over a tough question.

When asked if marijuana should be legalized, she said that medical marijuana should be legal, but otherwise banned. So ... she's a natural politician.

If Campanella starts snorting coke and posing topless or can’t fulfill her duties for any other reason, she will be replaced by Ashley Elizabeth Durham.

That youngster, Miss Tennessee, was the first runner-up.

Meanwhile, Kia Ben-et Hampton, Miss Kentucky, won Miss Congeniality USA, while Miss Arizona Brittany Dawn Brannon won Miss Photogenic USA.

Miss USA Rima Fakih Criticzed For Alleged Partying

Stop us if you've heard this one, but Miss USA is under fire.

Rima Fakih is not in crown-losing trouble ... yet. But accusations of her "breaking the rules of conduct" have put The Tiara Patrol on high alert.

According to Fox News (of course), Fakih was suspected of sneaking out (of where, it's unclear) to party all night last week, then lying about it.

The Miss Universe Organization, which rules over its gorgeous winners with an iron fist, requested security tapes to see if a cover-up occurred.

"There was one night last week where [Rima Fakih] had some interviews the next day," says Paula Shugart, the president of the ridiculous organization.

"First we thought she wasn't at the apartment (which she shares in NYC with Miss Universe), and someone was trying to get her to the interview."

"She was sound asleep, and looked like she'd been out all night."

Fakih did make the interviews, but her handlers are still asking about the security tapes, as this is "serious business," especially after Tara Conner.

Rima Fakih Crowned Miss USA!

Rima Fakih of Dearborn, Mich., surprised many by winning the Miss USA 2010 pageant at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip Sunday.

She strutted in an orange and gold bikini, wore a strapless white gown that resembled a wedding dress and said health insurance should cover birth control.

How'd she feel about winning the title? "Ask me after I've had a pizza."

The Queens, N.Y. native of Lebanese descent told pageant organizers her family celebrates both Muslim and Christian faiths. She moved to Michigan in 2003.

Rima Fakih is believed to be the first Muslim-American Miss USA and the second Arab-American to be crowned Miss USA since it began way back in 1952.

Rima Fakih takes over the Miss USA title.

The stunner told reporters she sold her car after graduating from University of Michigan-Dearborn to pay for her run in the Miss Michigan USA pageant.

She said she believed she had the title on Sunday after glancing at pageant owner Donald Trump as she awaited the results with the first runner-up.

"That's the same look he gives them when he says, 'You're hired' on The Apprentice," she said. "She's a great girl," said Trump, who owns the pageant.

Miss Oklahoma USA Morgan Elizabeth Woolard was the first runner-up.

During the interview portion, which famously derailed Carrie Prejean last year, Fakih was asked if birth control should be paid for by health insurance.

Controversial question. She replied yes, saying “I believe that birth control is just like every other medication even though it’s a controlled substance.”

After winning, Fakih replaces Miss USA 2009 Kristen Dalton, and will represent the United States this summer in the 2010 Miss Universe pageant.
