Miss Universe 2009 Swimsuit Photos | Miss Universe 2009 Winner | Miss Universe 2009 Swimsuit Pictures

The Miss Universe 2009 pageant will air live from the Atlantis Paradise in the Bahamas, on Sunday (August 23) at 9PM ET on NBC and Telemundo.  The Miss Universe 2009 Contestants will be narrowed down, and the final choice will be made at 11 PM ET. Unlike shows like the Emmys, this event does not run over, so you can expect it to happen at that time.

Contestants from 84 countries will be competing for the coveted title of the 58-year-old pageant. The winner will be crowned by reigning Miss Universe Dayana Mendoza from Venezuela.

Billy Bush, co-anchor of Access Hollywood and Claudia Jordan of Celebrity Apprentice, will host the competition. Superstar Flo Rida will perform his hugely successful hits, “Right Round” and “Jump” as part of a two song medley during the Swimsuit Competition portion of the telecast. Included in the show will also be a performance by reality star Heidi Pratt featuring her single “Body Language.”
