Miss California Alyssa Campanella became the 59th Miss USA after winning the crown during the pageant's coronation night held at the Theatre for the Performing Arts in Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada on June 19, 2011. Campanella will be representing her country at the Miss Universe 2011 pageant in São Paulo, Brazil on September 12, 2011.

Twenty-one-year old Alyssa Campanella is the 6th Miss California to be crowned Miss USA. She is said to be the third redhead beauty to win the crown.

Here's a video of the Top 4 Q&A courtesy of Youtube/NBC:

Yes, Adam Lambert is Gay, but could he be the first Gay American Idol?

Is Adam Lambert is gay? Following the madness of his photos circulating the Internet, yes, Adam Lambert is gay.

But, could he still win the American Idol? Well, if it’s up to me, yes he could. American Idol is a competition in searching for a singer and Adam is no doubt one of the best singers they had found – some even said in the history of American Idol. (See Adam's pictures after the jump) Truth is, whether you like it or not, sexual orientation issue plays a major part of our life now. Remember Miss California’s answer when she was asked by Perez Hilton in Miss USA 2009?

Carrie Prejean said, "We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage. And you know what, I think in my country, in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody out there, but that's how I was raised."

And she lost the title to Miss North Carolina. In my personal opinion, religion should always being kept to oneself. No offense, but the values that we shared perhaps differs with others. Logically, if you want to be Miss USA, you will represent all Americans, to which not only comprise straight people, but gay alike. That being said, she has every right to express her opinion in any matter and I don’t think her answer is more wrong than right.

So, back to the main topic, do you think Adam will win American Idol this season? Whether the contestant sexual orientation may sway your votes and for the rest of the world, you likeness towards him?

On the same matter, if Adam is not the best person to win American Idol, who will? For those who haven't yet see the pictures:

My personal favorite performances:

Adam Lambert – Mad World, The Track of My Tears, Black or White, Born to Be Wild, If I can’t Have You, Play That Funky Music

Danny Gokey – P.Y.T, Stand by Me, What Hurts the Most, Jesus Takes the Wheel, September

Kris Allen – Aint No Sunshine, Falling Slowly, She Works Hard For the Money, To Make You Feel My Love

Allison Iraheta – Papa Was A Rolling Stone, I Can’t Make You Love Me, Give In to Me

Matt Giraud – Staying Alive, Part Time Lover

Anoop Desai – True Colors, Always On My Mind

Lil Rounds – I Surrender

At first I think that Adam, Danny and Allison will be in the top 3. But with the current performances, I think that Kris Allen is on the top 3 as well. I love Allison, but she may have to give her place to Kris. Kris has been doing so so so well these couple of performances. So, who are your favorites? And who will win American Idol this season?

By the way, this is Lady Gaga.. I just couldn't resist to post it here too. LOL :)
