• Miss USA has been rocked by a cheating scandal over claims this year’s pageant was fixed for Miss Texas to win.

• R’Bonney Gabriel – the first Asian and Filipina American to win – was crowned the coveted title on Monday night, but she celebrated alone as nearly all the beauty queens stormed off the stage after her crowning.

• But others say Gabriel was pre-chosen as the winner. They’ve cited her trip to a plastic surgery spa that offers a key part of the prize nine weeks before the win as evidence.
