2007 Miss Universe Riyo Mori should not be confused with Captain Universe, who we believe once fought Dr. Doom.

Had your fill of beauty pageants with all of the Miss USA hullabaloo going on? No, we didn’t think so. Tonight at Hawaiian Tropic Zone at Planet Hollywood is Fashion Rocks the Universe featuring enough pageant winners and contestants that we’re actually legally required to refer to it as a bevy of beauties. It’s like how you can only call it “champagne” if the sparkling wine comes from that one region of France. Otherwise the government gets all tetchy.

Let’s see, we’ve got 39 Miss Teen USA 2008 contestants including Miss Nevada Teen Lauren Hudman, last year’s Miss Teen USA Hilary Cruz, Miss USA 2003 Susie Castillo, 1995 Miss Universe Chelsi Smith and Miss Universe 2007 Riyo Mori, along with Nick Verreos of Project Runway and hairstylist Michael Boychuck among others. Although we can’t actually include those last two dudes among the bevy of beauties. Sorry, fellas, we told you there were regulations about this sort of thing.

There will also be a silent auction, and a portion of the proceeds will go to the Goodie Two Shoes Foundation. The red carpet starts at 7 p.m.
