The 59th annual pageant, produced and owned by Michaels' 'Apprentice' boss Donald Trump, will air live from Las Vegas at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino. Australian singer/songwriter Orianthi will perform her hit single 'According to You' during the pageant's swimsuit competition, while John Legend & The Roots will perform during the evening gown competition. The two-hour NBC show will feature more than 80 women from all over the world competing in swimsuit, evening gown and interview events.

The United States will be represented by Miss USA 2010, Rima Fakih, while the new Miss Universe will be crowned by 2009 winner Stefania Fernandez, from Venezuela.

As for Michaels, the pageant-hosting gig is just the latest in a string of appearances the singer has made since his much-publicized health woes last spring. Within a six-week period in April and May, Type I diabetic Michaels underwent an emergency appendectomy, suffered a brain hemorrhage and was discovered to have a hole in his heart. Miraculously, he has completely recovered from his three hospital stays.
