The 59th edition of the beauty tilt is being held at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. The two-hour show will be replayed on ABS-CBN’s cable channel Velvet tonight at 6:30 and 10 p.m. and on ABS-CBN’s UHF channel Studio 23 at 7:30 p.m.

Nothing gets the U.S. news media more worked up than the chance to include the word “naked” in a news story – especially on the Fox News Network. Fox News personality Courtney Friel had a full-fledged freakout on-air about the pictures on her show Fox 411, which in turn ended up on countless blogs and gossip websites.
