The 61st annual Miss Universe pageant will be broadcast live at 8pm ET (2am GMT) via NBC to approximately 190 countries.
The big show will be hosted by Andy Cohen (the host of Bravo's Watch
What Happens Live) and Giuliana Rancic, a co-anchor on E! News.
Celebrity judges, led by pageant owner Donald Trump, include The Voice
mentor Cee Lo Green, San Francisco Giants MVP Pablo Sandoval, TV host
Nigel Barker, actor singer Diego Boneta, 2010 Miss Universe Ximena
Navarrete of Mexicio and reality TV star Lisa Vanderpump.
Miss Universe 2011, Leila Lopes of Angola, will crown the successor at the end of the two-hour television special.
Trump, who owns the Miss Universe Organisation and all its pageants,
including the Miss Universe, Miss USA, and Miss Teen USA beauty
contests, retaliated by filing a suit against Monnin in a New York
court.
Retired U.S. District Court Magistrate Judge Theodore H. Katz
determined that Monnin had defamed the Miss Universe Organisation, and
awarded it £3 million in damages. In his ruling, Katz stated that, "the
method in which the Miss USA Pageant is judged . . . precludes any
reasonable possibility that the judging was rigged."
Trump stated that Monnin was simply upset because she was not selected as a Miss USA semi-finalist.
