Beauty Queens Gone Wrong

   The world of beauty pageants is not all glitz and glamour. Once a girl wins a pageant crown, she is then catapulted to instant fame and public scrutiny. Her once quiet private life will be put under the microscope. And when this happens, a lot of dirt in the closet comes out. One famous queen that comes to mind is Miss Universe 2006 Alicia Machado from Venezuela.

   Alicia's great charm and natural beauty made her an instant favorite in Las Vegas back in 1996 when she competed for the Miss Universe crown.  Her enticing beauty and captivating personality made her stand-out on stage. She would then go on to become one of the most celebrated and controversial queens the franchise has ever produced. Who could forget the fact when just after a few months during her reign, she went from a svelte queen to this:

  

   After winning Miss Universe, Alicia Machado gained 4o pounds in just three months prompting The Donald Trump, owner of Miss Universe Organization to issue an ultimatum for her to lose 27 pounds in two weeks or forfeit the crown. He even called her a walking-talking eating machine in Howard Stern's Show for motivation. After a rigorous work-out and much hard work, she  was able to retain her crown and successfully relinquished it to her successor the following year. 

   But there's simply no stopping for this woman who made controversy her bestfriend. She continues to make waves even to this day. Most notable was her decision to pose for Playboy and Maxim magazines on several occasions which was  not only a slap to the Miss Universe Organization but also a vindication to her past weight issues. As if this is not enough, Alicia entered the Big Brother house and made love with a male housemate on national television! Bad bad girl. See sample of her sexy photos and steamy video after the jump:

And here's the video of Alicia'a sexual romp inside the Big Brother house:

At present, Alicia is now a single mom and continues to carve a name for herself in the Latin entertainment industry. Who knows what this remakable woman is cooking under her sleeves. Let's wait and see. More of beauty queens gone wrong next time. Ciao for now!
