Rima Fakih, the first Arab-American to be crowned Miss USA, has been given probation and community service for drunken driving.

MEXICO’S Jimena Navarrete was crowned Miss Universe in an upset victory that stunned a pageant world which had predicted the winner would come from Ireland’s Rozanna Purcell, Miss Venezuela or Miss United States.

THE Irish media recently devoted a lot of time and space to Rima Fakih who was featured as the first Muslim woman to win a beauty contest.
