Under fire over underwear

WARDROBE MALFUNCTION PERHAPS: Robayo denied donning short dresses sans undies

Miss Universe contender Catalina Robayo reprimanded for going commando

SAO PAULO: As the world's most beautiful women are busy preparing for the Miss Universe pageant, controversy has erupted after a contestant was accused of getting her crotch out at official appearances.

Miss Colombia contestant Catalina Robayo raised eyebrows and the attention of pageant officials, after  reportedly donning short frocks without undergarments.

The fashion blunder earned the 22-year-old beauty a strong rebuke from officials who questioned her  inappropriate wardrobe choices during last week's events, FOXNews.com reported.

Rosmah and the Ring of Fire

Women who have a penchant for jewelry would probably envy the gargantuan diamond ring linked to Malaysian First Lady Rosmah Mansor, which has ironically turned into a ring of fire for her, with angry citizens condemning such alleged extravagance while they struggled with their daily lives living in a country of escalating costs and diminishing welfare subsidies.

60-year Rosmah cuts a controversial figure as far as the people are concerned. Most Malaysians have the impression that she wants to outshine her husband and tries to have the country ruled her way.

People who earned less than RM2,000 a month, who include clerks, hairdressers, waitresses and the blue-collar workers, cannot comprehend why a woman would need such a heavy 'stone' to decorate her finger.

Najib to come under Scorpenes torpedo fire this Thursday

For over two years, Parisian prosecutors, led by investigating judges Francoise Besset and Jean-Christophe Hullin, have been gingerly investigating allegations involving senior French political figures and the sales of submarines and other weaponry to governments all over the world. French news reports have said the prosecutors have backed away from some of the most serious charges out of concern for the political fallout.

The investigators are following a paper trail that would bring to the forefront corruption involving both French and Malaysian officials. And even though the investigations will not look into the murder of translator and former lover of Razak Baginda - Altantuya - the murder would definitely be on the minds of all following the case.
