LEGAZPI CITY — Former beauty queen and television host Miriam Quiambao, whose parents are both Bicolanos, visited on Wednesday children here who had been displaced by the restive Mayon Volcano and read them storybooks.
Not many people know that Quiambao, a first runner-up in the 1999 Miss Universe beauty pageant, has been advocating the causes of World Vision, a child-focused relief and development international organization, since April last year and has been one of its active supporters and volunteers since 2001.
Besides being World Vision’s ambassador on child labor conveying relevant issues to the media, Quiambao also finds time to immerse herself in relief operations despite her celebrity status.

| MTV’s Susie Castillo will chat up the stars at the Video Music Awards |
|||
In the world of music television, there’s dealing with fans totally requesting something live on the air – and then there’s dealing with celebrity antics behind the scenes of this Thursday’s Video Music Awards, broadcast live on MTV from Radio City Music Hall. Susie Castillo ought to be able to handle it. The hot, 26-year-old host of the network’s popular countdown show, “Total Request Live,” will be stationed backstage for a simultaneous online version of the show, “Overdrive,” beginning at 8 p.m. on MTV.com, doing on-the-spot, streaming live interviews. As the 22nd annual awards show – this year hosted by Jack Black – returns to New York after a few years in Miami, Castillo’s ready for anything. “It’s going to be everything that happens behind the scenes,” she says. “It’s totally live! You really never know what’s going to happen. The artists have all been warned. Quite literally, I could be in the hallway talking about what’s been going on, and Beyoncé might be heading to the bathroom and I might stop her and ask her some questions!” But the quick-thinking Castillo knows that ad-libbing is part of the fun. In fact, the bilingual Puerto Rican and Dominican Massachusetts native – who won the Miss USA crown in 2003 – claims acting as her first love. After guest roles on TV sitcoms like “Half & Half” and “My Wife and Kids,” she recently filmed her first movie part – as a reporter – in Disney’s upcoming live-action adaptation of the cartoon favorite “Underdog.” More at the Source |

“How good is this?” asked the 23-year-old former carpenter following his victory.
“I’ve been lucky, I have only come off with a few bruises and scratches.”
The boyfriend of former Miss Universe and television presenter Jennifer Hawkins beat Today co-host Karl Stefanovic in an ice dance-off.

SYDNEY schoolboy Jordan Avramides was “a bit bummed” when Jennifer Hawkins took up Bathurst lad Daniel Dibley’s invitation to go to a school formal.
Jordan had also written the beauty queen a letter but had been rejected because Hawkins had filming commitments.
Enter Hawko’s understudy, Miss Universe Australia 2006, Erin McNaught.
McNaught, 24, is now off to the Trinity Grammar School Year 10 formal in November as Jordan’s date – and the 16-year-old is “totally” stoked.
“I know her from the watching the news and seeing all the stuff about the photos,” Jordan said of the topless shoot which earned the Miss Universe contestant the nickname “McNaughty”.
“She’s cute. Let’s hope she’s a nice one too,” he said. “My mates are on the formal committee and they choose the tables so they’re loving it. Dad’s pretty happy too. He’s baggsed driving us there.”
The only hurdle was the girl he’d already invited before McNaught agreed to step in.

AUSTRALIA’S Miss World contestant is likely to return home to a television career after competing in the international pageant.
The Nine Network has already shown interest in 20-year-old Sabrina Houssami, and is believed to want her to join the travel show Getaway.
It scheduled several screen tests for the student before her departure for Poland to compete for the crown.
A Getaway gig would pit her against former Miss Universe Jennifer Hawkins, who is a presenter on Channel 7’s The Great Outdoors.
“I would happily move into television if that opportunity arises, although I would also want to complete my university studies,” Ms Houssami told The Sunday Telegraph.
The Miss World pageant, which traditionally has a theme involving world peace, will take on even more meaning for Ms Houssami, a Muslim Australian whose family was affected by the recent violence in the Middle East.
“Some of my family were caught up in the recent fighting,” she said.

THE beauty pageant is back and more popular than ever.
Renewing the fascination in the glamour quests is the recent success of Australia’s Miss Universe contestants Jennifer Hawkins and Erin McNaught.
Selina Macdonald from Procon Leisure International – organisers of Bartercard Miss Indy, Ralph Australian Swimwear Model of the Year and the Face of Champ Car pageants – said there had been a 15 to 20 per cent increase in entrants.
“There is a lot more interest because girls know that it can platform them into an Australian, or even an international, modelling career,” she said.
Ms Macdonald believed Hawkins’ down-to-earth and girl-next-door image also helped lift the profile of pageants.
“I think with competitions, people had the perception of that bottle blonde and that has changed thanks to the Miss Universe contestants,” she said.
“Jennifer Hawkins is a beautiful Australian lady. She’s not too thin and she’s very natural – she’s everything that the girls want to be.”

WARSAW, Poland (AP) – A white scarf was discretely added over an artist’s depiction of a mermaid with an exposed breast on a poster advertising the 2006 Miss World contest, after officials in Warsaw’s conservative administration deemed it too suggestive, the artist’s agent said Wednesday.
Rafal Olbinski obligingly placed a white scarf with the Miss World inscription across the offending body part, said his agent, Piotr Reichel. He “agreed to make the change at the request from the Warsaw promotion office,” the agent added.
This year’s Miss World contest is to be held in the Polish capital on Sept. 30.
The city’s symbol is a bare-breasted mermaid holding a sword and shield. Olbinski’s poster originally showed a mermaid on a seesaw, the strap from her red top slipping over her shoulder to reveal one of her breasts.
Tadeusz Deszkiewicz, head of Warsaw city hall’s promotion bureau, told The Associated Press that there is “no doubt that Olbinski’s original version was strongly erotic and we did not want to attach such aspect to the Miss World contest.”
