The lucky gal to take home the crown this year is none other than Miss Connecticut Erin Brady.

The 25-year-old beat out 50 other hopefuls, including first runner-up Mary Margaret McCord of Alabama, to win the highly coveted title.

Erin replaces last year’s runner-up Nana Meriwether, who became Miss USA after the actual winner Olivia Culpo became Miss Universe.

When it comes to Erin’s bio, she is a financial accountant who graduated with a degree in finance at Central Connecticut State University and minored in criminal justice.

In addition to her love for cooking, Erin is also engaged to Tony Capasso. In fact, the couple set up a website for their upcoming wedding later this year!

Two weeks after welcoming his first child – a baby girl with wife Jenna Dewan-Tatum, the actor took to his Facebook page to share a super adorable photo of he and Jenna with their daughter Everly Channing.

CHANNING TATUM OPENS UP ABOUT DEPRESSION

“First Father’s Day with my girls!” wrote Channing, 33. Awww, could he be any more HOT adorable?

Jenna, 32, also tweeted the same photo with the caption: “First Father’s Day with our lil angel!” Congrats once again to the new parents!

TELL US – WHO DOES EVERLY LOOK LIKE?

The singing diva is trying her hand again at acting (yes, we’re very nervous as well after that whole Glitter disaster) and is baring it all in her new movie.

PHOTO – MARIAH CAREY SUFFERS A WARDROBE MALFUNCTION ON LIVE TV!

Mariah, 43, has no make up on and has undergone a total makeunder to play her character Hattie Pearl in Lee Daniels’ The Butler.

Forgoing the glitz and heels, Mariah is taking on the role of a field slave in the film which also stars other heavyweights such as Forest Whitaker, John Cusack and Oprah Winfrey.

That is the question we are asking today about husband stealer country singer LeAnn Rimes whose latest album Spitfire bombed… badly.

The album, which oddly enough earned critical acclaim had disastrous sales, only selling 10, 798 copies in its first week of release.

Spitfire, which was on June 4, debuted at No. 36 on the Billboard Top 200 chart. Let’s compare that to Queens of the Stone Age‘s sixth studio album, …Like Clockwork, which debuted at No. 1 with 91,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan data.

IS LEANNA RIMES PREGNANT WITH FIRST CHILD?

I’m almost inclined to feel bad for LeAnn except she is the only one to blame for all of her negative press and public backlash. As you all know, LeAnn’s squeaky clean image was tarnished back in 2009 after Us Weekly exposed her affair with her married costar  Eddie Cibrian. LeAnn was also married at the time.

The public could have probably overlooked LeAnn’s bad behavior and forgiven her except she continued with the affair, and ultimately ended up marrying Eddie. Even worse, LeAnn, 30, has continued to trash and taunt Eddie’s ex-wife in the media while engaging in cray cray Twitter wars with random people.

When you add all that together, it’s no wonder the public has lost interest in LeAnn as a whole.

The silver lining in this is that Spitfire did manage to land at No. 9 on Billboard’s Top Country Album chart. So congrats are in order?

Days ago, TMZ reported the actress/professional twerker might be more than friends with the Biebs after the two were flirting together in public, and even leaving the party… together.

Sources say last weekend, Miley, 20, was at Beacher’s Madhouse at the Roosevelt Hotel in L.A. early Sunday morning getting her party on as she is apparently a regular there. Justin, 19, then arrived at around 1:50 AM and headed straight for Miley’s table.

The two then spent the next 15 minutes flirting and laughing together before leaving the joint at the same time around 2 AM.

WHY DID LIAM HEMSWORTH DUMP MILEY CYRUS?

Even more interesting, hours before the flirtfest, Justin’s douche-mobile aka his leopard-spotted Audi (which I’m guessing is very hard to miss)  was seen leaving Miley’s L.A. home on Saturday.

Fast forward to now and Miley is denying she and Justin are doing the horizontal tango. In fact, she’s still claiming to be engaged to hotness Liam Hemsworth despite numerous reports stating he has dumped her. Miley called in to Hot 99.5 in D.C. during which she was asked about TMZ’s report.

“I’m ENGAGED!” claimed a laughing Miley. “I’m engaged. That is impossible.”

Err, here’s to hoping Liam is aware this engagement is still on! The above photo shows Miley and Justin at the club together.
