When new Fox show "The Choice" airs next month, viewers will see if regular folks can woo stars, including two from the Detroit area.

Rima Fakih isn't letting recent brushes with the law drag her down. The former Miss USA winner will appear on tonight's episode of the MTV show "Made," which follows teens through a self-improvement challenge (making it one of the former music video channel's only redeeming programs).

Rima is Miss USA 2010. The 25-year-old hails from Dearborn, Michigan where she received a BA in Economics and BA in Business Management from University of Michigan. Rima hopes to win "WWE Tough Enough" to prove that it is possible to be both beautiful and tough.

Only 72 hours remain on the countdown clock before Rima Fakih, the girl from Dearborn, Mich., who sold her car to fund her own entry into the 2010 Miss USA Pageant, relinquishes her crown to the new winner at the 2011 Miss USA Pageant at Planet Hollywood and airing on NBC. Rima talked with me about the highlights of her 12-month reign, which ends Sunday at exactly 7:55 p.m. PT.
