she wooed the Miss Teen USA judges just like she had the Miss South Carolina judges two years earlier. It was her second pageant, and her second victory. In the three years since handing over her Miss Teen USA crown, Miss Minnillo has concentrated on college, acting, and modeling.

She has a promising future, and was recently one of the finalists in E!'s competition to find a replacement for Brooke Burke as hostess for the show "Wild On..." (1997). Though the job ultimately went to Cindy Taylor, Vanessa made a big impression with "Wild On..." (1997) fans across the world, and hopes to continue working in television for some time to come.

The Oklahoma City cops have decided not to press any charges against the beautiful starlet Miss Alba. Jessica Alba was caught plastering posters all throughout the city on the endangered great white shark.

“The decision has been made to close the case. The case will not be presented to the district attorney’s office,” announced a Sargent. Alba’s act was a part of a campaign for White Mike, an L.A.-based group that spreads awareness of the great white shark species shrinking existence.

Alba could have easily faced a felony vandalism charge and a possible jail time as well, but the property owners declined to press any press charges. Jessica released her own statement on all this by saying, “I got involved in something I should have had no part of. I realize that I should have used better judgment and I regret not thinking things through before I made a spontaneous and ill-advised decision to let myself get involved with the people behind this campaign.
