It's already August but until now the most prestigious, most watched and biggest beauty pageant in the world still has no official venue for the competition to take place in December. Decades before, after the beauty pageant concluded with the announcement of winner, the official venue of the following year event is revealed at the end of the show then the following years few months after the Miss Universe competition the official venue is announced and its easy for them to choose a venue because there are lots of cities and countries who are competing each other to get the rights to host the event and the Miss Universe Organization only have to choose which one is the best and fit for the competition. Nowadays with the cost of hosting the event makes it the more difficult for the MU Org. to convince cities or countries to host it. This year they had a hard time choosing a venue since of two big events first is the 2012 London Olympics and the second is the U.S. Presidential Election. Las Vegas, Nevada, United States which has been the venue of the Miss Universe competition for three different occasions the last one in 2010 is fully booked with events until December. According to a staff of Miss Universe Organization, they will announce the official venue of the Miss Universe 2012 by September. We will see by then if they really have an official venue for this year's edition of Miss Universe to maintain their integrity, prestige and reputation.

Miss USA 2012 will take place this Sunday, June 3, 2012 at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino. Alyssa Campanella from California, the current Miss USA 2011 will crown her successor at the end of the event. Miss USA 2012 will go on to represent the United States at the Miss Universe 2012 in a place and date to be announced at the Miss USA 2012 event. Based on their online interviews and the preliminary competition, here are now my top goddesses of beauty:
Someone from Atlanta, Georgia said this about Jessica Sanchez:
Jessica is clearly the most talented singer this season. I did not vote the week she was voted off and I am so glad she was saved. I do feel that these idol judges(not Tyler) set them up with their comments. This is not new. Simon was the master of build them up to tear them down later. Randy and Jennifer latch on to a favorite and praise them beyond the imagination. One standing ovation is OK. But so many makes them meaningless. Randy runs this judging group simply because he has been around the longest not because he has anything meaningful to say. Yo if I hear pitchy another time, I will... Jennifer is a good blend and I like her presence on the show. I wish Jimmy was one of the judges. His insight is the best. Unlike Simon, he is not mean. He is just professional in his remarks. I hope they add him to the judges next year and get another adviser for the idols. Stevie Nick and Mary J Blige would be my choice. Steven is my favorite judge. His comments are right on. He is his own man. His advice is right on and he is fair. I notice tonight that once Steven said that Jessica should win it all, Randy and Jennifer set out to defeat her. The standing ovation for Phillip was to ensure he stays on. They hope Jessica gets voted off and Phillip goes against Joshua next week. I personally like them all. Joshua performance is very good. Phillip Phillips is an acquired test. But if you acquire that taste, it will stay with you. Now Jessica is a true talent. She is a young Barbara Streisand, Mariah Carey or Whitney Houston. Whether she wins this contest or not, she is a voice to be reckon with in this business. Many a record producers are hoping she does not win so they can sign her up on the spot. I would only buy a ticket to hear Jessica sing and that is what it is all about.
