Eighty-nine contestants from around the world will compete for the Miss Universe crown on Monday.  

Among those competing is Miss USA Alyssa Campanella, an auburn-haired beauty from California, who has been praised for her eloquence, poise and outgoing personality. While no American has been named Miss Universe since Brook Lee won the title in 1997, many are hoping Campanella will bring home the crown. 

Other fan favorites include Miss Philippines Shamcey Supsup, Miss Venezuela Vanessa Gonçalves and Miss Mexico Karín Ontiveros. The reigning Miss Universe is Mexico's Ximena Navarrete. Perhaps she will get to crown her own countrywoman? 

Venezuela has a strong legacy at the pageant as the only county to have repeat winners, taking home titles in 2008 and 2009. 

Among the seven celebrities judging the swimsuit, evening grown and interview competitions are Real Housewives of Beverly Hills's Adrienne Maloof, journalist Connie Chung and actress Vivica Fox.

It was poignant, solemn, and a first for them both: President Barack Obama and former President George Bush, side-by-side, at site of the former World Trade Center towers.
Last spring, just days after Osama bin Laden was killed by U.S. forces, Obama flew to New York City for a few moments at Ground Zero, to honor those who had fallen in the terrorist attacks.

But when he extended an invitation to former President George W. Bush, the invite was declined.

On Sunday, two stood quietly in front of the bronze parapets that surround the giant reflecting pools, which stand in the exact footprints of the former twin towers.

First Lady Michele Obama stood by the president's side, and Laura Bush stood next to the former president.
On May 5, when he visited the site, Obama noted, "It didn't matter who was in charge, we were going to make sure that the perpetrators of that horrible act -- that they received justice."

At the time, the former president wished to remain out of the spotlight, CNN reported a Bush spokesman saying. But today's ceremony unified the two families, and was marked by the memorable gesture when Michele Obama had an arm around Laura Bush as she broke down in tears.Moments to remember at 9/11 ceremony, US News, 9/11 Latest News, News, World News, Latest 9/11 Ceremony, Bush and obama on 9/11, US Predisents on 9/11, Online news, Latest News on 9/11, Today News, US 9/11 Latest today Ceremonies, Bush and Obama on New York, New York 9/11 Moments, World trade center.
