Donald Trump becomes sole owner of Miss Universe
Contenstants pose on stage during the 63rd Annual Miss Universe pageant
New York - AFP
Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump announced he has purchased NBC's half of Miss Universe Friday, taking sole ownership after the station refused to broadcast the pageant in July.
NBC and Spanish-language Univision both declined to air the show following the business mogul's controversial comments on Mexican immigrants, leading to a breakdown in their relationship.
"Just purchased NBC's half of The Miss Universe Organization and settled all lawsuits against them. Now own 100% -- stay tuned!" Trump tweeted.
NBC had produced and transmitted the pageant since June 2002. Trump is also no longer appearing in the NBC reality show "The Apprentice," where he had been a star attraction.
A CNN/ORC poll found Trump surging to 32 percent support nationally, becoming the first in the broad Republican field to top 30 percent in the race for the White House.
Trump's campaign has been infused with controversy stemming from his disparaging remarks about Mexicans, women and fellow Republican rivals.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led
