There is no confusion that Oleksandra Nikolayenko is beautiful. There is some confusion as to her rise to the crown as Miss Ukraine in the 2004 Miss Universe pageant in Ecuador.

Some reports put Oleksandra Nikolayenko as in the semi finals of the Miss World in 2001 alongside other competitors like Irina Kovalenko (Russia), Jo-Ann Strauss (South Africa), Macarena García (Spain), and Tijana Stajši? (Yugoslavia). Other reports put her in the 2009 competition, some put her in 2004.

art of the confusion is that she had held so many different pageant titles, some not specific to Ukraine. Adding to that, many today are searching for Miss Hungary, a title she never held reportedly, even though born in Budapest. Other titles include:

Miss Odesa
Miss Ukraine South
Miss Ukraine
Miss Student
Miss Tourism-Europe
First vice-Miss Tourism-Planet
Miss American Dream
Miss Tourism International.

The couple married in 2008 and reportedly now live in Wichita, Kansas.

PHOTOS! Here again are pictures of Miss Rhode Island 2009 Alysha Castonguay. Does Miss Rhode Island prove a double standard for the Miss USA pageant?

Alysha Castonguay and Carrie Prejean both posed nude before competing in the Miss USA competition. But only Prejean is under fire for her photos. Why?

The difference perhaps is in how the two handled their situations. Alysha Castonguay claims she told pageant officials about her previously photos for Maxim Magazine before entering their competition. Prejean reportedly didn’t. And according to reports this week, Prejean is still not forthcoming about how many pictures she appeared for, claiming one, when in fact there is more than that.

Compare that handling to Miss Rhode Island’s situation. Alysha claimed she didn’t just talk about the photos, but came out and showed them before hand to officials to get approval.

Yet Miss Rhode Island thinks the core of the debate is over Miss California’s views, not her photos. Alysha tells press:

“I personally believe this situation is stemming from the controversy over her opinion and not a photo.”

PHOTOS! Here are pictures of Miss Rhode Island 2009 Alysha Castonguay. Alysha Castonguay appeared in Maxim and says Carrie Prejean and her have something in common. What is it? Take a guess. You’ll probably get it right.

Alysha Castonguay’s name is pronounced with the “u” silent. But Alysha wasn’t silent in telling Miss USA pageant officials that she had previously posed nude for Maxim Magazine before entering their competition.

Yes, like Prejean, Rhode Island took her clothes off for the camera before entering the competition, but unlike Prejean she told the competition about it ahead of time, even showed them the pictures and they alleged approved her entry.

She started in pageants at age 2, was Little Miss Scarlett Pageant winner, won at age 14 Miss Rhode Island Teen USA title.

So why was it fine for her to have a past of nude modeling and not Prejean? Alysha tells press:

“I personally believe this situation is stemming from the controversy over her opinion and not a photo.”

Monica dishes up to Pop Tarts today exclusively about everything that makes her tick and that will make your heart race.

On Beauty pageants - she calls them silly. Yes, they increase women’s self confidence, says Hansen, but she says you have to consider them entertainment.

On Modeling -

“The modeling industry is very sexist. Being a model you become a symbol/object of all what human desire is about … it’s easy to fall into the traps they lay out.”

On American Man vs. Norwegian - she American guys and girls play games and don’t pick up the phone the moment they meet you. THANK YOU! She says it’s not the case back home where people don’t wait a minute.

And then this one hot quote:

“I can for sure handle a few drinks with no problems, and I can sure drink a few guys under the table …”

Drool.
