Miss Universe 2009

Stefania Fernandez Wins Miss Universe 2009!
Stefania Fernandez beams upon being crowned Miss Universe 2009.
The lovely Miss Venezuela, Stefania Fernandez, was crowned Miss Universe 2009 last night. The 18-year-old (!) is a worthy title-holder, to say the least.

She defeated finalists from Puerto Rico, Kosovo, Australia and the Dominican Republic. When she heard that Miss Dominican Republic, Ada Aimee De la Cruz, was named first Runner-Up, that meant Stefania Fernandez became the new Miss Universe.

Stefania is the second consecutive Miss Venezuela to win Miss Universe, and shared a hug with her predecessor, Dayana Mendoza, on stage after she won.

Receiving the tiara from Dayana, Stefania accidentally dropped the thing on stage. But with true grace and dignity, they rebounded as if nothing happened.

The second runner-up was Miss Kosovo Gona Dragusha, while Miss Australia Rachael Finch was third runner-up. Miss China Wang Jingyao was Miss Photogenic, while Miss Thailand Chutima Durongdej was named Miss Congeniality.

The top 15 finalists appeared in bathing suits before the final 10 were chosen for the evening gown segment. Pageant co-owner Donald Trump told reporters:

"I think this is the most beautiful group of women I've ever seen."

The televised event includes musical performances by Flo Rida, David Guetta, Kelly Rowland and Heidi Montag. We'll have a video of that disaster up later.

Stefania Fernandez was also named "Miss Elegance" "Best Body" and "Best Face." We're just hoping she doesn't add "Miss Nude Photo Scandal" shortly.

Michael Jackson doctor 'told the truth'

The doctor at the centre of the investigation into Michael Jackson's death has spoken publicly for the first time since the singer died.

Dr Conrad Murray, who was with the star when he suffered a cardiac arrest on 25 June, posted a video on YouTube thanking his supporters.


In the short, one-minute clip, Dr Murray said: "I told the truth and I have faith the truth will prevail."

He has not been named as an official suspect in the investigation.

However, court records have identified the 51-year-old as the subject of a manslaughter inquiry and he has been interviewed twice by police.

'Strength and courage'
Until now, Dr Murray has shied away from speaking in public, with statements being made through his lawyer.

Murray was to be Jackson's personal doctor during his London concerts
"Because of all that is going on, I am afraid to return phone calls or use my e-mail," Dr Murray said.

"I recorded this video to let all of you know that I have been receiving your messages. Your messages give me strength and courage and keep me going. They mean the world to me."

A spokeswoman for his lawyer said the video was recorded last week in Houston, Texas.

Over the last month, two offices connected to Dr Murray have been searched by police, as has his home.

On Tuesday, a lawyer for Katherine Jackson said she was considering taking legal action over the circumstances surrounding her son's death.

Burt Levitch said no final decision on a "wrongful death" action had yet been made - but hinted that Dr Murray could be the subject "because he is under investigation".

The Los Angeles coroner's office said it had completed its work determining Jackson's cause of death but would not release the results until the police investigation was complete.

Michael Jackson friend claims paternity

Mark Lester speaks to the News Of The World
Mark Lester, a former child star and long-time friend of Michael Jackson, says he could be the father of one of the late pop star's children.

Speaking to the News Of The World, Lester said he had donated sperm to the King of Pop and was willing to take a paternity test.

"I believe Paris could be my daughter," he said, and noted she bore a physical resemblance to his daughter, Harriet.

Calls to Lester's home in Cheltenham were not immediately returned.

The 51-year-old, who rose to fame playing Oliver Twist in the 1968 film of the stage musical, had been friends with Jackson for nearly 30 years.

He is godfather to Paris, 11, and Jackson's two other children, 12-year-old Prince, and Prince Michael II, seven.

Jackson suffered a cardiac arrest at his Los Angeles home on 25 June at the age of 50.

His mother, Katherine, became the permanent guardian of his three children last week.

Welfare concerns

In a video on the News Of The World website, Lester said he had come forward at this time "because I have concerns about the welfare and upbringing of the children".

"There's a contact issue," he added. "I dearly want to remain in contact with those kids and I feel now this is the only way that I can ensure that."

The former actor, who now works as an osteopath, also detailed how the arrangement with Jackson had come to pass.

"Michael Jackson asked me in a private conversation if I would be willing to donate sperm on his behalf," he said.

"I was phoned up by a London clinic and I was asked what would be a convenient time for me to attend. I made an appointment to go along."

Lester said he assumed the mother of the child would be Debbie Rowe, Jackson's then-wife.

There has previously been speculation that Jackson's dermatologist, Arnold Klein, was the father to his two children with Rowe.

The star's third child was born to a surrogate mother, whose identity was never revealed.

"Of all of Michael's children, I would assume that the one who looks most like me is Paris," Lester said.

"Paris has blue eyes, pale complexion and high cheekbones. My girls all have very similar features."

There has been no comment on Lester's claims from the Jackson family.
