The winner of the 2010 Miss USA beauty pageant is Michigan native Rima Fakih. The pageant was held at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Miss USA Rima Fakih takes the crown from Kristen Dalton who won in 2009. Rima Fakih’s next competition will be in the 2010 Miss Universe beauty pageant. This is the first time that a woman of Arab/American ethnicity has won the competition.
Miss USA 2010 Rima Fakih will compete tonight in the Miss Universe pageant.
The judges included NBA’s Denver Nuggets Carmelo Anthony, Miss USA 2006 Tara Conner, Paula Deen host of multiple Food Network shows, Oscar Nunez from The Office, real estate mogul Phil Ruffin, Glamour magazine fashion editor Suze Yalof-Schwartz, model Melania Trump, and Olympic champion Johnny Weir.
The Miss USA 2010 pageant was hosted by Curtis Stone and Natalie Morales with backstage insights provided by Joan and Melissa Rivers. A special performance by Trace Adkins provided a musical highlight as he debuted his newest single, “This Ain’t No Love Song.” The song was played while the contestants participated in the evening gown segment of the pageant. The band “Boys Like Girls” performed their newest single “Heart Heart Heartbreak” during the swimsuit competition.

Did she really win? Or like Obama, the PC people selected her for her ethnicity? When they make the most inexperienced Jr. Senator the President, I have my doubts about anything today.
our president is bi-RACIAL GET OVER IT
OUR PRESIDENT IS BI RACIAL GET OVER IT BE AN AMERICAN SUPPORT YOUR ELECTED PRESIDENT
GBUSH DIDNT HAVE A JOB UNTIL HE WAS 40 YRS OLD WHAT EXPERIENCE ?
She won becuase she deserved to win! Get Over it.. She is beautiful and talented. We need to get over this racism and give recognition for those who deserve it.Stop Judging and we all may live in a better place. Go Rima - it couldn't of happened to a better young lady.. Any one with negative comments - Your Jealous!
She is not an arab first off. She is lebanese. Lebanese people are not arabs. Muslims are not arabs. being Muslim is a religion that originated in Arabia.
Yeah Mike...that's right - bunhc of crazy libs

Mike , You have no idea what you are talking about I am Lebanese , polish and german both parents were born here , strict catholic . There is no special box to check on any type of survey , census , application( Job or College ) which indicatesAmerican citizens who are lebanese fall into any “special” . The US is a melting pot of people , My children are lebanese, polish , german and irish.

"We noticed some interesting lineages in the dataset. Among Lebanese Christians, in particular, we found higher frequency [2%] of a genetic marker — R1b — that we typically see only in Western Europe." [12] The lineage was seen at that "higher" frequency only in the Christian populations in Lebanon, even though among the Muslims it was not altogether absent. "The study matched the western European Y-chromosome lineage against thousands of people in France, Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom."[13] On the other hand, in the Lebanese Muslim population a similar pattern, this time associated with genetic markers from Arabia, was also observed in "higher" preferential frequencies, although they too were not altogether absent in the Christian population. "We found that a lineage that is very common in the Arabian Peninsula — Hg J*— is found in slightly higher frequencies preferentially in the Muslim population."[14] The author of the study added that the findings "certainly doesn't under

Put on your burka and show us some belly dancing. She could only win in America, she is 100 pounds too light and ugly by the Arab standards. Oh she is Lebanese - do I see some Crusader blood lineage there...Mashalla!

sara7a 2nto kilkone 7amir w bahayeim u americans hahahhahahhahaha 7ilwy lwa7ad yi7ky w ma 7ada yifham 3aleih 2illa l3araby li mitlyyy ya sanadeeelllll
What has this country become that we have to make a political move and choose an Arab Miss America. This is a disgrace!!!
who is miss usa i want to know okay so beat it.
well that can be crazy what people say that thank you.
that is really cool that someone can do better than her.
Blonde girls never win because they are soooo stupid... they don't even know how to talk that's why latinas always win Miss Universe ... Rima it's veeeery pretty don't hate!!! It's time for things to change I guess judges are tired of the exesive use of peroxide =0]
well that is pretty wicked.
okay see u later from on.
OMG, the pandering that was done to have this girl win (she's hot but there were hotter), so as to make a particular ethnicity want to like us instead of wanting to cut our throughts, in reality only inflames them more! I mean it's like, "yeah, we like your women, look how we parade them around with all this skin showing". I mean come on people, they want to really cut our throats now!
leave america alone soo i will this as long as i want it to be soo ask u one more leave america alone because i like it is now soo i don't want mess with me soo leave how it is.
MABROUK RIMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMA

Finally a beautiful Lebanese wins! This is what true NATURAL beauty is.
MABROUK RIMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMA
Yea Michigan!
A Lebanese born Anti Israel- Pro Palestine Che Guevara facebook fan ... how American is that huh!
The racism is ridiculous, a white women doesn't win and suddenly it's liberal white guilt and cheating. The ugliest possible white woman could have won and none of that would have been said. I am white, and you people sicken me.
MABROUK RIMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMA
She's really a very beautiful young woman, Congratulations to her.
OMG! Who cares what she is SHE WON SHE WON end of discussion!
I'm muslim and i'm not saying GO MUSLIM! Cut the racism its soo 2000-n late!!!!!!!!!!
leave her alone, she is hot,attractive,beautiful,she deserves it so dont hate and yea white girls have a dead beauty so get over it, SHE IS MISS USA.....
"This is the first time that a woman of Arab/American ethnicity has won the competition."
Don't be so sure about that. According to her Wikipedia entry, Julie Hayek, who won Miss USA in 1983 and was runner up for Miss Universe that same year, has a Lebanese father. She has a claim to be the first Arab-American winner of Miss USA.
I think she is very pretty but also I think she is way too skinny.
To me, she does not look very healthy.
***** 1000 Mabroook. Rima, you worked hard, you played fair, you WON. Congrats and how was the pizza? (Haha) See you at Miss Universe. Make us proud, again.
Arab-American as Miss USA and A President from a Muslim african father. I LOVE IT. What's next????? I wanna see Osama Bin Laden's daughter, if there's one, in a contest next and win. How would that make him feel!! HAHA... I like it.
