Miss Venezuela wins Miss World crown 2011 in LONDON

Miss Venezuela, Ivian Sarcos, was crowned the 2011 winner of the Miss World beauty pageant on Sunday at a glittering final ceremony in London.

How nice she! Wearing a pink dress with diamante studs that had a giant cascade of frills slashed below the waist, the 22-year-old gasped and threw her hands to her face as she was declared the winner.

Miss World told AFP that- "I felt the most gorgeous woman in the world. I was so happy and I wanted to shout, to cry, to stand still and to smile. So many emotions".

She also said that- "I'm incredibly happy for this moment, for this opportunity and for winning and I'm grateful with my life."

Miss Philippines, Gwendoline Gaelle Sandrine Ruais, was named the runner-up, while Miss Puerto Rico, Amanda Victoria Vilanova Perez, came third.

Sarcos Colimenares, 22, who works for a broadcasting company and has a degree in human resources, gasped and threw her hands to her face as she was announced the winner.

Some 113 beauty queens from Albania to Zimbabwe took their place on the stage, with the show being broadcast live to an estimated audience of more than one billion viewers in 150 countries.

The pageant was first held for the 1951 Festival of Britain and was staged in London until 1989.

Former contestants include Oscar-winning US actress Halle Berry, a 1986 finalist, and 1994 winner Aishwarya Rai, the Indian movie star.

In keeping with the tradition, the Miss World flag was passed on to the next host country, which is the City of Ordos in Mongolia, China.

What are doing both Cameron Diaz and Alex Rodriguez ?

They'll always have Mexico — and Miami, London, NYC and L.A. Turns out the problems of two little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday we'll understand that.

It's understandable if you thought Cameron Diaz and Alex Rodriguez had already broken up, given the report earlier this summer that the two had parted ways.

After a year back together, Cameron Diaz and Alex Rodriguez have ended their romance. "They broke up recently," a source close to the Yankee slugger, 36, confirms to Us Weekly.

 "She is very busy with her career," the source says of "Bad Teacher" actress Diaz, 39. "And he's had injuries and wants to focus on his game. They're dedicated professionals."

And now People.com is reporting the news, too, saying:"They are broken up right now," adding: "They are still very close. There was always a certain magic between them." Awww.

 Accordingly, don't expect any drama in the wake of their split. "They're still very friendly and like each other," the source says. "(They have) an enormous amount of respect for each other."
