Michigan State Grad Competing For Miss USA This Weekend

The 2016 Miss USA pageant is coming up this Sunday at 7PM. The pageant will be broadcast, for the first time, on FOX TV. Julianne Hough will be co-hosting with actor (and former radio DJ) Terrance J. Musical guests will be country music's Chris Young and the Backstreet Boys.

And, in case you missed it - Donald Trump sold his half of the pageant last year, and he's no longer involved with the pageant. So, if you're not a fan of "The Donald" - it's OK - you can watch again.

And you might be rooting just a little harder for Miss Michigan this year. Susie Leica is from Livonia and happens to be a graduate of Michigan State. If she wins Miss USA, she'll get to go on to the Miss Universe Pageant in December - hosted, again, by Steve Harvey. And we all know what a roller-coaster that night can be.

Good luck to Susie.
