Eat your hearts out, Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez! Your rumps can’t hold a candle to the gals vying for the title of Miss BumBum in Brazil — where
bodacious behinds are worshipped!The booty prize is only $12,235, but the winner can make a fortune posing for magazines, giving endorsements, making appearances and taking some shocking steps!
Last year’s Miss BumBum, Indianara Carvalho (pictured), triggered a scandal by undergoing surgery to make her seem like a virgin again. And then she “lost it” to a man who plunked down a whopping $75,000!
This year's winner, Suzy Cortez (above), was upfront about her own ambitions: "I've alway wanted to win this contest. I dedicated myself completely!"
That fierce quest for fame and fortune is why the pageant has become the most ferocious beauty contest in the world. “These aren’t your typical smiling, girl-next-door Miss Americas,” says an insider. “The contestants here are hellcats with huge bouncing butts.”
And the backstabbing is no-holds-barred with insults, threats and even voodoo flying among the 27 finalists, who were herded into the Miss BumBum mansion and spent the final days of the contest living together. “Nobody trusts anyone,” said Jennifer Camacho, 30— and Luciane Hoepers, 29, charged fellow contestants with offering $120 to gouge out her eyes. She even claims they used voodoo to make her car break down.
Another gal called fellow finalists “stuck-up girls” who’ve padded their butts with plastic surgery while their faces “look like an old wrinkled passion fruit."
Many of the original 500 contestants spared no expense with nips and tucks, liposuction and padding operations. One girl admitted having two ribs removed so her waist would look smaller and her behind appear bigger! “For the finalists in the mansion, it’s dirty tricks and psychological warfare,” said the insider.
“No one is friends with anyone,” said finalist Sabrina Boing Boing. “Most of the women can’t even bear to look at each other in the eyes. “But when they have passed by, they take a good look at their bumbum to check out the competition!”
