BABY, YOU'RE A FIREWORK

One of Beauty School's favorite moments during Saturday night's telecast of Miss America 2011 was the reunion of past titlehoders. With Katy Perry's "Firework" playing in the background, we got to see over 40 Miss Americas, including Jean Bartel, Miss America 1943. Jean still has "it," and so did all of the others! Speaking of fireworks, the ratings for the ABC telecast were hot. It started the night with 5.26 million viewers, built steadily over the two hours, and ended the night with 7.85 million viewers. Overall, the pageant enjoyed a whopping 47 percent increase in viewers over last year. It also decked the Donald’s Miss USA 2010 telecast by more than 1 million viewers.
