Search web search Home Singapore Asia Pacific World Business Entertainment Sports Technology Asia Pacific World Miss Virginia wins 2010 Miss America crown By OSKAR GARCIA,Associated Press Writer - Sunday, January 31 Send IM Story Print LAS VEGAS – Miss Virginia Caressa Cameron won the 2010 Miss America title Saturday night after strutting in a skintight yellow dress, belting Beyonce's "Listen" from "Dreamgirls" and telling kids they should get outside more often. Cameron, a 22-year-old from Fredericksburg, Va., won a $50,000 scholarship and the crown in Las Vegas after a pageant that started with 53 contestants. She outlasted her opponents in swimsuit, evening gown, talent and interview competitions. Cameron is broadcast journalism student at Virginia Commonwealth University, and wants to become an anchor. When asked during the interview portion of the competition her thoughts on fighting childhood obesity, Cameron said parents should curb television and video games. "We need to get our kids back outside, playing with sticks in the street like I did when I was little," she said. "Expand your mind, go outside and get to see what this world is like." Cameron said her win was a testament to her family's strength. "You can be and become anything that you want to be, even Miss America," she said. Miss California Kristy Cavinder was the first runner-up, winning $25,000. The young women who came out on stage at the beginning of the pageant and danced to "I Gotta Feeling" by the Black Eyed Peas are from all 50 states plus the District of Columbia, Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. After a week of preliminary competition, they each introduced themselves to the crowd Saturday at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. "From the home of the Governator, I am here to pump you up," Cavinder said as she was introduced. The judges, the public and contestants themselves then trimmed the field over the next two hours. Actor and "Extra" host Mario Lopez hosted the 89-year-old pageant with help from Clinton Kelly of TLC's "What Not to Wear." The pageant was broadcast live on TLC. The panel of judges included radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh, actress Vivica Fox, musician Dave Koz, Miss America 2002 Katie Harman, gymnast Shawn Johnson and former "American Idol" finalist Brooke White. Comedian Paul Rodriguez was set to be a judge, but organizers said he pulled out because of a family emergency. Cameron, crowned by 2009 Miss America Katie Stam, will embark on a yearlong run with the title to represent the organization and raise awareness for her chosen platform. Cameron, Cavinder and Miss Michigan Nicole Blaszczyk each won $2,000 earlier in the week for winning talent competitions among three split fields of contestants. Miss Oregon CC Barber, Miss New York Alyse Zwick and Miss Puerto Rico Mimi Pabon each won $1,000 in nightly swimsuit competitions. Miss Oklahoma Taylor Treat won the $6,000 Quality of Life award, given to the contestant judged to excel most in volunteerism and community service. Scores based on a week of preliminary competitions were added to Saturday's competitions to determine the winner. Each judge ranked their five favorites in order, and their ballots were used to pick the winner. In all, the Miss America Organization awarded $340,000 in scholarships at the national level. The organization says its national, state and local chapters gave more than $45 million last year in cash and scholarships. The pageant was preceded by a one-hour television special on TLC, "Miss America: Behind the Curtain." The contestants picked 12 women from their own ranks who faced a public vote for one of three spots among the 15 finalists. Stam, a Seymour, Ind., native, was one of four finalists chosen by viewers last year. The crowning of a Miss America began in 1921 as a publicity stunt to persuade tourists on Atlantic City's Boardwalk to stick around after Labor Day. The bathing revue blossomed in the age of television into an American pop icon before fading in later years and losing it place on network TV in 2004. It moved to the Las Vegas Strip in 2006 in an attempt to reinvent itself and has found a home on cable television. ___ On the Net: Miss America: http://www.missamerica.org/ TLC Network: http://www.tlc.com/ Recommend Send IM Story Print Related Articles Thousands attend 'Lost' sneak preview AP - 1 hour 25 minutes ago Mormon role in gay marriage ban scrutinized at Sundance AFP - 1 hour 43 minutes ago 'Restrepo,' 'Winter's Bone' take top Sundance honors AFP - 2 hours 11 minutes ago 'Winter's Bone,' 'Restrepo' earn Sundance honors AP - 2 hours 52 minutes ago "Winter's Bone", "Restrepo" win top Sundance awards Reuters - Sunday, January 31 News Search Top Stories US economic rescue failing to meet key goals:auditor Bankers leave Davos battered by blame game Obama trims US space ambitions GlaxoSmithKline to axe 4,000 jobs in US, Europe Gandhi ashes scattered off South Africa More Top Stories » ADVERTISEMENT Most Popular Most Viewed Most Recommended Gandhi ashes scattered off South Africa US angers China with Taiwan arms package Got a decision to make?
