Miss Mexico Jimena Navarrete has been crowned this year's Miss Universe. The 22-year-old nutritionist beat stiff competition from 83 contestants to take the international beauty pageant title at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. The show - hosted by Poison rocker Brett Michaels - was broadcast in the U.S. last night. The 83 contestants were whittled down to 15 in the first five minutes of the show with judges choosing beauties from Puerto Rico, Ukraine, Mexico, Belgium, Ireland, South Africa, France, Australia, Jamaica, Russia, Albania, Columbia, Guatamala, Czech Republic and the Philippines for the final. Miss Mexico Jimena Navarrete went on to impress the judges in the swimsuit round, in her evening gown and also in the questions round.
