Miss USA Hula Hoop Contest

Log this under “things you don’t see every day”—a Miss USA Hula Hoop Contest, hosted and judged by Richard Simmons. Yes, that Richard Simmons. This ridiculousness took place Friday at Miracle Mile Shops inside Planet Hollywood, and the Weekly’s Leila Navidi was there to capture all the action. Check out her gallery to the right (or here.

Oh, and the winner, if you are curious, was Miss Florida, Lissette Garcia, who could twirl a hula hoop around her neck. For her talent she won a shoe shopping spree and $1,000 for the charity of her choice. Hula hoops aside, the real 2011 Miss USA Pageant takes place Sunday, June 19 at the Planet Hollywood.
