Judging from the photos below it looks like Ms. Antonenko had some incredible and worthy competition to contend with in-order to reach the top.

But with stunning movie star looks combined with a smoldering sultry appeal I can easily understand why she took the top prize.

I’ve known a few great ladies from Yekaterinburg so the fact that she comes from this region makes her that much more endearing to me.  If you’re ever thinking of visiting Russia then this would be a great place to start.    (I’ve even included a few photos from the Miss Yekaterinburg beauty pageant as well.

British pop group 'Girls Aloud' have found themselves the unwitting ambassadors of a Russian escort agency after the Moscow based organisation used a photograph of the group to advertise their services. 

The Babylon Escort Agency is using an old photograph of the pop stars to promote its services. The advert claims that Sarah Harding, Cheryl Cole, Nicola Roberts, Nadine Coyle and Kimberley Walsh are among its "friendly and sophisticated girls waiting for your call", reported Daily Mirror online. 

The image was taken five or six years ago before Sarah cut her blonde locks short, before Cheryl married Ashley Cole and found solo fame and before Nadine underwent a dramatic weight loss.

But even though it's an old picture, the agency didn't ask permission to use it and the band's management could sue.
