Olivia Culpo won the title (U-S-A! U-S-A!) but Miss Venezuela 2012 Irene Sofia Esser Quintero gave by far the best/worst answer at the Miss Universe 2012 pageant. In addition to showing off their beauty in dazzling gowns and bikinis, they show off their brain power (or something like that) in the crucial Q&A round. Miss Venezuela, Irene Sofia Esser Quintero, was asked “If you could make a new law, what would it be? And explain why.” Her answer? Well, see below: Miss Venezuela: Miss Universe 2012 “I think that any laws there are in Constitution or in life, are already made. I think that we should have … uh … a straight way to go … in our similar, or, eh, in … in our life has it this,” she said. “For example, I am a surfer and I think that the … the best wave that I can take is the wave that I wait for it. So … please … do our only … eh … law, that we can do. Thank you, Vegas!” Hey. It’s not her native language after all. Give her credit for trying! The judges apparently did exactly that … she finished as the Miss Universe second runner-up to winner Miss USA and Miss Philippines, respectively.
Teresa Giudice would like to thank her fans for their recent show of support. And THG would like to ask: Who are Teresa Giudice’s fans?!? The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member continues to be embroiled in a feud with Caroline Manzo – which stems from Teresa comparing Caroline’s Italian authenticity to that of the Olive Garden in her cookbook – and, in the wake of Manzo once again lashing out , has taken to Twitter to write: “Thanks for watching the show everyone. Thanks again for the support.” Giudice has referred to Caroline as a “very angry person” and WENT OFF on her during the last episode, slamming Manzo as “a f–king c–nt [who] can go f–k herself.” You can fill in those blanks. And then you can response: Whose side are you on in this feud?
Brangelina’s parents are not fans of President Barack Obama. Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney can count on Brad Pitt’s mom Jane to vote for him … and now Angelina Jolie’s outspoken father Jon Voight too. The 73-year-old actor and unabashed conservative is slamming President Barack Obama, comparing him to Venezuelan socialist leader Hugo Chavez. Again, the man is not one to mince words. “The media has been taken over by this administration,” Voight told The Daily Caller at the Republican National Convention this week in Tampa. “It’s not less than what has happened in Venezuela with Hugo Chavez, really, because you can’t get the information through,” Voight added. “I’m giving you this because I want to get the press my opinion. You can put it in any way you want to. But, it’s become pure propaganda.” “We should be appalled. America, guys, wake up. You should be appalled that they can get away with it. The Republican Party is a victim of a bias.” “It’s been going on for all this time and it’s getting worse and worse. Now this? Come on, people, stand up,” added Jon Voight , who endorsed Romney. “I think because of Gov. Mitt Romney ‘s great talents, his great compassion, his great gifts of leadership, he’s going to win this election,” he said. “The people are going to become aware of these qualities.” Election 2012 :

Wilson Ramos is safe and sound. The Washington Nationals catcher, who was kidnapped earlier this week at gunpoint in his native Venezuela, was discovered by local authorities yesterday and has reconciled with his family, The Washington Post reports. “It’s a special moment for his family,” Ramos’ agent, Gustavo Mercado, said in a statement to the newspaper. “We’re all happy. We’re grateful.” FBI Agent Chris Voss confirmed the incident took place due to the “money [Ramos] could produce,” while five people have been arrested for the abduction. “I don’t know who those people were,” Ramos said. “I know they’re Colombians by their accent. Three guys grabbed me there in front of my house, they took me to another SUV and from there they took me into the mountains… thanks to God, everything turned out well.” The ballplayer also thanked the police and National Guard commandos who rescued him, saying “the boys did a great job.”
Howie Dorough says he’s ‘so excited’ to open for South American leg of Britney’s Femme Fatale Tour. By Jocelyn Vena Britney Spears Photo: David Tonnessen/ PacificCoastNews/ Newscom Nineties pop fans rejoice! Britney Spears has recruited the Backstreet Boys’ Howie Dorough to open for a string of South American dates on her Femme Fatale Tour. The gigs will coincide with the release of his first-ever solo album, Back to Me, out November 15. “I’m so excited that I’m going [to be] joining @britneyspears on several dates of the Femme Fatale tour!” Dorough tweeted on Monday.”Can’t wait to see all my lovelies in Argentina, Chile, Peru, Colombia, and Venezuela!! VIP info will be coming next week.” According to Dorough’s site (and as he also tweeted ), the Backstreet Boy’s initial stint on Britney’s tour will kick off on November 20 in La Plata, Argentina, with stops in Santiago, Lima and Bogota before it wraps up in Caracas, Venezuela, on November 28. He’s just the latest supporting act to join the worldwide Femme Fatale trek, stepping in the spot once occupied by artists like Joe Jonas, Nicki Minaj and DJ Pauly D . And when Dorough spoke to MTV News over the summer about his first solo recording, he said it felt good to finally get the chance to show fans a new side of himself as an artist. “I finally have been able to put [my album] together and I’m excited and very, very proud to be able to make this body of work,” he told us. “I feel [it’s] a total representation of where I’m at right now in my life and [it represents] things that are going on, positive-ness and energy. I think it’s really a chance for people to hear me and know my voice.” That’s not all, Howie D fans. Next year, Dorough will hit the road again with NKOTBSB — yes, New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys — for a European tour that kicks off in April. “It’s awesome,” Dorough told MTV News of touring with NKOTBSB. “It all kind of spun from that show at Radio City [Music Hall]. I think we did something that was a shock factor for people. I don’t think a lot of people would have thought the two of us being onstage together would have been fathomable.” What do you think of Howie D opening for Britney Spears? Tell us in the comments!

Damien Echols, 36, spent half his life locked up in an Arkansas prison after being convicted of the grisly homicides of three 8-year-old boys in 1993. For the past few weeks, Damien Echols, who has spent the past 18 years in a tiny cell on death row, has been walking the streets of his newfound home in a happy daze. “This thing has a map on it!,” Echols laughs, stopping for a moment to fumble with his new iPhone. “Can you believe that? A map on a phone!” Last month, in a surprise twist that f
