Miss USA Falls, Gets Booed, and Still Beats Mexico?
We were distracted and didn't make it to our Tivos to check out the Miss Universe pageant until last night, but girlfriend, there was some drama on that show and no one seemed to have seen it.
If you heard anything about the pageant, you may have heard that Miss USA slipped and fell during the evening gown competition. Well, that's true, and the video above shows you that.
