Congratulations are in order for the new Miss Universe, Gabriela Isler of Venezuela, who beat out 85 other international beauties Saturday night at Moscow’s Crocus City Hall, wearing a shimmering silver dress.
While it’s another year of bleached perma-smiles, bizarro-glam costumery that make an ’80s Cher look modest, and suspiciously impressive résumés, for all the glitter and iridescent excess of Miss Venezuela’s finale dress, the event itself seemed a little lackluster this year. Maybe it was the absence of wonderfully cheeky host Andy Cohen paired with the pure cheesiness of Giuliana Rancic? Or perhaps it was the lack...

Following the devastating Super Typhoon Haiyan sweeping across the central Philippines, Miss Universe 2013 contestant Ariella Arida posted two Instagram videos, showing her support for the victims of the storm.
In one she used a popular saying in the Philippines, "The Filipino spirit is waterproof," which was coined in 2012 after Typhoon Grener struck the country.
She also dedicates her showing in the upcoming Miss Universe pageant to everyone in her home country. In the second video, she has three other Miss Universe contestants say the words "Pray for the Philippines" in their native tongues.

Miss Universe 2013 contestant Miss Philippines Ariella Arida has had to seriously test her body to get in pageant-ready shape. In a new interview, Arida explains the strict diet and exercise regimen she has herself on so she can be considered fit for the pageant.
"I have to really cut my carbs and rice. No rice, no carbs, no sweets since December last year. I'm naturally thin, but I have to lose some weight still and I have to tone my body," she explains.
While Arida's exercise routine doesn't seem too extreme -- she attends core classes, lifts weights and has been running and attending fun runs -- her food intake is severely limited. Though she allows herself one cheat meal a week, the rest of the food Arida eats is a pretty strict diet.
