Miss USA Olivia Culpo has taken that most coveted of beauty queen crowns and been named Miss Universe for 2012. Culpo elbowed out 88 teetering and teary others to win the title, taking over royal duties from the 2011 winner Leila Lopes, of Angola.
The 20 year old from Rhode Island was anointed at a televised ceremony at the Planet Hollywood Casino in Las Vegas as the first American to be crowned since Brook Lee in 1997. Culpo?s beguiling charm, winning smile and ability to wear a teeny-weeny bikini and red velvet gown helped her edge out runner-up Miss Philippines. [Source]
