Miss Universe is supposed to bring people together–and we spend time every year wishing that we were together with Miss Universe contestants. Sadly, some folks aren’t so enlightened. That’s why politics has reared its ugly head, and all because of Miss Israel–that being the lovely and sociable Doron Matalon–posted this pic on social media…
See, the problem is that one of those beauties is Miss Lebanon. That would be the lovely Saly Greige, who’s liberated enough to often look like this…
That picture was taken in Miami, home of this year’s Miss Universe competition and land of the free. Nobody’s told the people in Lebanon, though. Saly Greige has been forced to apologize for the big sin of posing with Doron Matalon. Which really sucks, because Lebanon and Israel are at war, and Miss Universe is meant to be like a United Nations of beauty queens.
Instead, Saly gave in and apologized to try to end cries for her to give up her Miss Lebanon sash. Meanwhile, we’re happy to see that Doron Matalon supports marriage equality and the Beatles and other things that celebrate freedom, man. We know who we’re going to be cheering for this coming Sunday. Take a look for yourself at an Israeli beauty in the spirit of Bar Refaeli, and some other hot babes we know…
