Admissions Guy: She does have a 4.0 from CULA and she got a 179 on LSATs.
Head of Admissions: Fashion major?
Admissions Guy: Well sir we've never had one before and aren't we always looking for diversity?
Admissions Guy: Her list of extra-curricular activities is impressive.
Head of Admissions: She was in a Ricky Martin video.
Admissions Guy: Clearly, she's interested in music.
Head of Admissions: She also designed a line of faux-fur panties for her sorority's charity project.
Admissions Guy: Uh huh, she's a friend to the animals as well as a philanthropist.
Head of Admissions: Elle Woods...Welcome to Harvard."

Enter future law student and current Miss Missouri USA 2011.  Although she never starred in a Ricky Martin video, she will be taking the stage amongst 51 other contestants from across the country to compete for the title of Miss USA 2011 on June 19, 2011 at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas.  Find out more about Miss Missouri USA 2011 in her exclusive interview with thePageantGuy.com below!

In 2003, a Prime Minister said the following:

"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere.

Often, it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there -- fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge -- they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaking suspicion...Love Actually is all around."

In the midst of current events where calamity and terror has stuck all across the world, it's easy to turn on the news and say that we live in a world of hatred and greed. However -- if you look for it -- you'll see that it is the act of love and kindness that brings people together to overcome adversity. As the daughter of a breast cancer survivor, Brandi Schoenberg, knows of such things.

Introducing Miss North Dakota USA 2011, Brandi Schoenberg for thePageantGuy.com! Be sure to watch her and 50 others battle for the title of Miss USA 2011 on June 19th, 2011 on NBC, live from Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas!

Written by S. Carter and rocked by A. Keys:

"In New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of,
There's nothing you can’t do, now you're in New York,
These streets will make you feel brand new, big lights will inspire you,
Let's hear it for New York, New York, New York..."

Let's hear it for Miss Montana USA 2011, Brittany Wiser, as she braved the New York, New York Roller Coaster in Las Vegas with thePageantGuy.com Correspondent, Kelly George and "Yours Truly" for yet another adrenaline packed interview (the first being the interview with Miss Texas USA 2010 at the Gun Range).

Ironically enough, Brittany's next adrenaline ride will be in Las Vegas -- but it won't be a roller coaster. Watch Miss Montana USA 2011 on June 19th at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas on NBC to compete for the coveted Miss USA 2011 crown and to spend a year of her reign of all places...New York!

This interview was conducted by thePageantGuy.com Correspondent, Kelly George. As Miss Arkansas USA 2007, Kelly is the first and only active-duty military member to compete in the Miss USA pageant. Kelly served as an officer in the United States Air Force as a Second Lieutenant and was a news anchor for an NBC affiliate in Arkansas. Kelly now resides in her home state of California and works in Public Relations.

  

In one famous speech, the character Francisco D’Anconia explains:

"...Not an ocean of tears not all the guns in the world can transform those pieces of paper in your wallet into the bread you will need to survive tomorrow. Those pieces of paper, which should have been gold, are a token of honor—your claim upon the energy of the men who produce."

The excerpt above taken from Ayn Rand's masterpiece "Atlas Shrugged" symbolizes a value far greater than the monetary -- where wealth and money is simply a means of exchange of our best with the best of others.

This summer in Las Vegas, where the exchange of money -- and sometimes wealth -- is a twenty-four hour occurrence, you will ALSO find the best competing with the best on pageantry's biggest stage.

On that stage will be Allyn Rose, Miss Maryland USA 2011, presenting her own masterpiece as she competes for the title of Miss USA 2011. Until then be sure to watch thePageantGuy.com's exclusive interview with Allyn. Who is John Galt?  Who cares!  Here is Allyn Rose!

Lyrics sung by Beyonce:

"Stop! I ain't ready yet!
Wait, let me fix my hair
Yes, ma'am, yes ma'am!
Now pass me my dress..."
