News in a flash—Ruler of Egypt, Cleopatra, won the Miss Teen Egypt Competition held at her birthplace in Alexandria, Egypt at the tender age of 18. She won what is considered the most prestigious and most anticipated pageant of the year. Although the competition was purported by the local media to be tightly contested, many people believed that Cleopatra won it before the contest even began. This was after she ordered the beheading of one of the leading candidates and her competitor in the pageant, Nephthys, and embellished her sash with Nephthys's severed ears and nose. The pageant judges were suspected of judging to her favor to avoid any more unfortunate incidents.
