Congratulations To The Newly Crowned Miss New York USA 2012 — Johanna Sambucini!!

Congratulations to the newly crowned Miss New York USA 2012 – Johanna Sambucini!

It was an honor to be a judge at this year’s pageant! I had no idea how tough it was going to be to pick a winner… There were so many incredibly beautiful, fit, talented, and philanthropic girls competing, making our job as judges so very difficult.

The panel of judges, which consisted of 10 people from various walks of beauty, fashion, entertainment and casting, included TV personality Kelly Bensimon, YouTube glamour expert Jessica Harlow, Patrick Melville Salon owner Rick Wellman, Vinnie Potestivo Entertainment casting director Karen Happel, communications consultant Carlos Alvarez-Aranyos and Erika Shay.

Together, all 10 judges had to narrow approximately 150 girls to 20 to 10 to 5 to 1… and we truly believe the newly crowned Miss New York USA will be the perfect “rep” for our great state at the Miss USA pageant this Summer in the Bahamas.

In the end — during final interviews — Johanna coincidentally picked my question from the fishbowl. “This question comes from judge Micah Jesse, ‘If you could have two celebrity parents, who would they be and why?” asked hosts Rob Shuter and Pavarti Shallow. Our newly crowned Miss New York replied that her father had passed on and her mother was in the audience and both, she knows, are extremely proud of her and she would never change them for anything.

What a perfect answer!!

Who knows? Maybe she will win and go on to Miss Universe? Do you think Johanna Sambucini has what it takes to be Miss Universe?

After the jump…more fab photos from the weekend!

Miss New York USA 2012: Micah Jesse & Kelly Killoren Bensimon Checking In! — VIDEO

Me and my friend, Kelly Killoren Bensimon, are both judges of the 2012 Miss New York USA pageant, and we wanted to check in with y’all and give you an update from the festivities!

Today (Jan 14), we (along with a few others) judged the swimsuit and gown portion of the pageant, and had to narrow down 150 girls to 20. It was a difficult task, but we truly believe we found 20 really strong candidates who will compete against one another tomorrow at the actual pageant.

Stars Flock To Mohegan Sun 15th Anniversary Celebration To See J. Lo Perform!

How do you get stars like Glee’s Lea Michele, Terrence Howard, Donnie Wahlberg, Nick Lachey (and wife Vanessa Minnillo) and more to the middle of Connecticut for a weekend?

Well, if you’re Mohegan Sun and you’re celebrating your 15th Anniversary, you invite the “creme de la creme” of celebs, media and even celeb chefs Bobby Flay and Todd English to experience a one-of-a-kid set by Jennifer “J. Lo” Lopez – performing in a skin tight head-to-toe Swarovski crystallized onesie!

The “American Idol” judge took the stage by storm performing many (or most) of her greatest hits with high energy. At one point though, J.Lo got a little choked up before paying homage to her lost loves (Diddy, Ben Affleck and finally and most recently Marc Anthony).

“You want to talk about love? I can talk about love. Oh, the stories!” she said during a heartfelt speech to the audience before breaking out with her hit “If You Had My Love.” Afterwards she said, “That’s the first song I wrote about love. And this is the last song I wrote about love. A lot has happened since then!”

Later in the night, stars like Kelly Bensimon. Jaime Pressly, Tinsley Mortimer (and boyfriend Brian Mazza) and Jesse Metcalfe partied the night away at the official after party deejayed by DJ Kiss.
