Set Your TiVo - 57th Annual Miss Universe Pageant

57th Annual Miss Universe Pageant, will air live this Sunday, July 13th at 9:00 PM ET (delayed PT) on NBC (simulcast on Telemundo).

This years pageant will be held at the Crown Convention Center in Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa, Vietnam.
Jerry Springer and Mel B will host the live competition. Pop star Lady GaGa will be performing her hit “Just Dance” during the show.

The 2008 judges are: Donald Trump Jr., Executive Vice President of the Trump Organization; fashion designer and entrepreneur Roberto Cavalli; Nadine Velazquez, international cover girl and star of NBC’s “My Name Is Earl”; Jennifer Hawkins, television presenter and Miss Universe 2004; Louis Licari, celebrity colorist and “Today Show” ambush makeover expert and John Nguyen, Vice Chairman of Hoan Cau, LTD Investment and Construction.

Japan native, Riyo Mori (photo from missuniverse.com), Miss Universe 2007 will crown her successor at the conclusion of the telecast. Hopefully, the crown will go to Miss USA Crystle Stewart. I wish Pageant Place would have been picked up for another season on MTV. I would love to see some of Crystle's Miss USA reign and more of how the pageant organization runs throughout the year.
