Shamcey Supsup, Lloyd Lee Wedding Photos and Video

Miss Universe 2011 3rd runner-up Shamcey Supsup tied the knot with businessman Lloyd Lee on Sunday, December 29. The wedding was held at the Church of the Risen Lord inside the University of the Philippines campus in Diliman, Quezon City.

Shamcey Supsup walked down the aisle wearing her Cherry Veric bridal gown with Christina Perri's A Thousand Years in the background. Meanwhile, her groom, Lloyd Lee is waiting at the altar in his champagne-colored suit.

The wedding was attended by Shamcey and Lloyd's family and close friends, as well as Shamcey's fellow beauty queens Venus Raj, Ariella Arida, Bianca Manalo, Bea Rose Santiago, MJ Lastimosa, Queenie Rehman, Elaine Kay Moll, Pia Wurtzbach, the bride's friends from Miss Universe 2011 Valerie Lim of Singapore and Sora Chong of Korea, and Aces and Queens mentors led by Jonas Gaffud.

The wedding reception followed at the EDSA Shangri-La Hotel ballroom.

Shamcey and Lloyd will fly to Europe in March for their honeymoon. The place was Shamcey's request as she's never been to the continent before. For the meantime, the newly-weds will focus on the completion of their new house.

The couple first met in May 2011 during Shamcey's birthday party. From then on, the two went on dates and eventually developed a relationship. Two years later, Shamcey and Lloyd got engaged.

Congratulations and best wishes, Shamcey and Lloyd!

Pinoys in Pageants: 10 Major Sucesses in 2012; Philippines Hailed Country of the Year

The year 2012 has been a very successful one for the Philippines in the field of beauty pageants with Filipinos gaining recognition from several international pageants. With victories here and there, popular pageant website Missosology hailed the Philippines as the country of the year.

This year, our representatives to both male and female pageants did well, bringing home two crowns, six runner-up trophies, and two semifinals honors in major pageants and a handful in other pageants overseas.

Update: Rizzini Alexis Gomez won Miss Tourism International 2012 in New Years Eve, bringing the third crown for the Philippines in 2012.

Here's a run-down of the beauty kings and queens that made the Philippines proud in 2012:

				1. June Macasaet, winner, 16th Manhunt International June is the first Filipino to win the Manhunt International title. This Batangueño commercial and ramp model bested 52 gorgeous men, including heavy favorite Mr. Sweden, Peter Bo Johnsson at the 16th edition of the male beauty pageant held on November 9 in Bangkok, Thailand.
				2. Kevin Balot, winner, 8th Miss International Queen Just like June Macasaet, Kevin Balot is the first Filipino to win the title of Miss International Queen. The Pinay transgender beauty beat 22 other transsexuals from different countries, including four other Filipinos at the pageant night held on November 2 in Pattaya, Thailand.
				3. Janine Tugonon, first runner-up, 61st Miss Universe The second Filipina to be standing next to the eventual winner at a Miss Universe coronation night, Janine Tugonon has proven all her detractors wrong and made all Pinoys proud after her exemplary performance in the recently concluded Miss Universe pageant held in Las Vegas, USA which crowned the home girl, Olivia Culpo.
				4. Stephany Stefanowitz, first runner-up, 12th Miss Earth Armed with wit, beauty and concern for the environment, Stephany Stefanowitz was named Miss Earth Air (first runner-up) in the Miss Earth pageant held on November 24 at Alabang, Muntinlupa City. This Jinkee Pacquiao deadringer lost the crown to Czech Republic’s Tereza Fajksová.
				5. Andrew Wolff, first runner-up, 6th Mister World Cory Quirino, the Miss and Mister World franchise holder in the country made the right choice when she sent Andrew James Wolff in the Mister World pageant in Kent, England. The Philippine Volcanoes member has what the male pageant demanded and has to lose only to Francisco Javier Escobar Parra of Colombia come the November 25 coronation night.
				6. Clarisse Marie Obia, first runner-up, 1st Miss Teen Universe This 19-year-old student from Lyceum of the Philippines emerged as first runner-up in the inaugural Miss Teen Universe pageant held in Managua, Nicaragua last April 30. The crown went to Panama's Sasha Nikyta Kam. The 5-foot-6 beauty from Biñan, Laguna was chosen by the Bb. Unibersidad organization to represent the country.
				7. Ayelee Marie Dasalla, second runner-up, 2nd Miss Humanity International Ayelee Marie Dasalla followed the footsteps of Czarina Gatbonton who also emerged as 2nd runner-up in the very first Miss Humanity International. Ayelee Marie beat Bb. Pilipinas batchmate Marie Molo Peter (who represented Norway) in the pageant's coronation night held in Barbados last October 20. The crown went to Lesa Gayle Wee Tom of Jamaica.
				8. Elaine Kay Moll, third runner-up, 4th Miss Supranational Elaine Kay Moll may not be given a title in Bb. Pilipinas 2012 but the local pageant’s first runner-up was sent by BPCI to represent the country in the Miss Supranational pageant held in Warsaw, Poland on September 15. The Philippines’ debut in the said pageant was met with Elaine’s third runner-up finish, with Ekaterina Buraya of Belarus winning the crown.
				9. Queenierich Rehman, Top 15, 62nd Miss World Queenie Rehman made world headlines not by winning the Miss World pageant but by showcasing a talent not usual for beauty queens–beatboxing. Unfortunately, she was not hailed Best in Talent but the winner, Yu Wenxia of China who was crowned at her home turf in a coronation night held August 18 in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, China.
				10. Nicole Schmitz, Top 15, 52nd Miss International Just when Miss China was crowned in China, the Miss International 2012 winner, Miss Japan Ikumi Yoshimatsu, was also crowned in Japan at the October 21 pageant night in Okinawa. The country’s delegate, Nicole Schmitz finished in the Top 15. A seasoned pageant competitor, Nicole is the third Filipina with German blood to represent the country in the said pageant.

Aside from these ten, other notable pageant victories of the Philippines this year include Top Model awards won by Joy Marie Gangan (Best Asian Model) at the Best Model of the World held last December 8 in Istanbul, Turkey and Joy Castillo-Pasidis at the Mrs. Universe pageant held August 12 in Rostov, Russia. Other Philippine representatives to gain semifinals slots: Janicel Lubina (Top 5 – Miss Scuba International held in Bali, Indonesia on November 30); Angelee Claudette Delos Reyes (Top 10 – Supermodel International held in Bangkok, Thailand on September 5); Bea Rose Santiago (Top 10 – Miss Tourism Queen of the Year International held in Nanjing China on December 3); Grendel Alvarado (Top 15 – Miss Asia Pacific World held in Seoul, South Korea last June 16).

Miss World 2012: Queenierich Rehman Makes it to Top 10 World Fashion Designer Award

Miss World Philippines Queenierich Rehman made it to the Top 10 World Fashion Designer Award, one of the challenge events in the Miss World 2012 happening in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, China.

The great news was shared by Queeneierich Rehman, herself via her official Miss World Facebook page. Queenie, on her recent post confirmed the news and asked for our prayers for the big event happening tonight.

"waaaaaah!!!!! im in the top 10 of the designers award..tom is a big day..please pray for me and lets accept what God has to offer me tom...=)"

For the Designer's Showcase (held July 26 in Shanghai, China), Queenierich Rehman wore a stunning red gown made by Dubai-based Filipino designer Michael Cinco (one of those great fashion designers featured in America's Next Top Model).

Other contestants who made it to the Top 10 Designer Awards were Misses Barbados, Sweden, Ukraine, Bolivia, Spain, Puerto Rico, Peru, Hungary and the Bahamas.

Just recently, Queenierich Rehman made it to world headlines following her unconventional talent showcase in the Miss World 2012 talent finals where she wowed the world with her beatboxing skills, the very first in the history of the said pageant. Queenie's beatboxing video in the talent finals went viral and even appeared on websites such as the Times, MSN news site, Daily Mail UK and Huffington Post.

That unique showcase (which turned the whole world's attention to Miss World 2012) landed Queenierich a spot in the Top 5 Miss Talent, the winner of which will be announced at the grand coronation tonight (August 18), together with the announcement of the winners in other pageant events.

Let's hope that Queenie's performance in the pre-pageant events will earn her an automatic spot in the Top 15 semifinalist on her way to clinching that elusive Miss World crown.

Miss World 2012, according to their official website, will be broadcast on TV-5 August 18 at 7:30 PM.

Video: Queenierich Rehman Beatboxing on Miss World 2012 Talent Finals

Miss World Philippines Queenierich Rehman made it to the Top 5 Miss Talent of Miss World 2012 after she wowed the audience with her beatboxing skills.

Queenierich, wearing a slinky black fringed catsuit sang the opening lines of Rocketeer before rolling the beat, making everyone in the audience go wild and crazy.

Miss World found Queenierich Rehman's talent unique for a beauty queen and her amazing showcase was the very first in the pageant's history, an act that will topple that of the other members of the Top 5 -- Misses China, Panama, Norway and Jamaica who sang, if not danced.

Let's hope that Queenierich will be chosen as the one to perform her talent during the grand coronation night this August 18 (to be televised on TV-5) and if all things go right, will eventually join the semifinalists and bring home the elusive Miss World crown.

Here is the beatboxing performance that brought Miss World Philippines Queenierich Rehman on Top 5 Miss Talent list:

Pageant analysts and fanatics, even her co-contestants were also stunned with the red Michael Cinco creation she wore in the Designer's showcase (and finally, Miss World released her photo on the runway wearing the said gown, which was one of those 13 missing photos when Miss World posted the pictures for public).

Quenee’s continued stellar performance in the pageant gives Filipinos hope that she will win the highly-coveted Miss World crown.

In the coming days, she is set to compete in two more pageant competitions: Sports and Fitness and Beauty with a Purpose.
