Isha Koppikar heads for Miss Universe 2008
Becomes the first Bollywood actress to judge the pageant
Donald Trump Jr, Miss Universe 2006 Jennifer Hawkins, hair stylist Louis Licari, Mel B and pin up girl Nadine Velazquez are going to have company from India at the Miss Universe pageant.
Before leaving for Vietnam for the Miss Universe 2008 contest, actress and item girl Isha Koppikhar informed her friends that she has been called to judge the contest.
"Isha told us that a call from the organisers was followed by her agent in the US, Simone Sheffield, who she shares with Aishwarya Rai. Initially, Isha wasn't sure whether she was actually being asked or someone was playing a prank on her."
Thus Isha becomes the first Bollywood actress to judge the contest.
Isha will be wearing a Roberto Cavalli creation for the occasion.
Interestingly, Cavalli, who had also designed a gown for Aishwarya Rai for a red carpet event at the Cannes Film Festival, called Isha up himself and told her that he wanted her to wear his outfit.
In fact, Cavalli may be seated close to Isha during the event as well.
Manish Malhotra too has designed an evening gown for her for the final event.
And yes, there will be Jerry Springer who is hosting the show whom Isha is expecting to meet.
Isha, who was last seen in the flop "One Two Three", also has films like Atul Agnihotri's "Hello", Subhash Ghai's "Hello Darling", Jahnu Barua's "Har Pal" and then, of course, Ram Gopal Varma's "Shabri" and Sooraj Barjatya's "Ek Vivah Aisa Bhi", which release this year.
The Miss Universe 2008 pageant will be held in city of Nha Trang in Vietnam, on July 14. India is being represented in the contest by Simran Kaur Mundi.
