Kyiv’s main concert hall, Palats Ukraina, will host the annual Miss Ukraine competition on Sept. 4. Gorgeous participants from all 26 regions of Ukraine will flock to the capital to compete for a diamond crown worth 250,000 euro and, of course, for the prestigious Miss Ukraine 2010 title, which will give them the right to represent the nation in the world and European contests next year.

The jury will be composed of international stars this year, including socialite Paris Hilton (arrested on Aug. 27 on cocaine charges), the aging but cool macho actor Jean-Claude Van Damme, desperate housewife Eva Longoria and Francesca Versace, who is the niece of the famous Italian fashion icon, Donatello Versace, among other celebrities.

All 19 former winners of Miss Ukraine will be there, including 1998 winner Vlada Prokaeva, 2001 winner Oleksandra Nikolaenko, 1997 winner Ksenia Kuzmenko and 2008 winner Iryna Zhuravska. At the show’s after-party in Kyiv’s Crystal Hall night club, Hilton will perform her most recent songs, and will hang out all night long.
