At the 2008 Miss Universe competition Sunday in Vietnam, Miss USA Crystle Stewart from Texas slipped and FELL!

Last year in May of 2007 Miss USA Rachel Smith also slipped and fell at the Miss Universe pageant. Click here to see that video.

Smith got right back up without missing a beat, but Stewart actually started clapping. People do weird things when they’re under pressure.

Criss Angel when crazy at the Miss USA pageant after his girlfriend Miss Nevada Veronica Grabowski was eliminated from the competition. Criss was particularly upset with Vegas Confidential columnist Norm Clarke who wrote the following:

Shortly after Grabowski was eliminated, Angel was seen flashing a middle finger during a NBC telecast when a roving cameraman attempted a celebrity-in-the-crowd shot at Planet Hollywood Resort’s main theater.

Angel was still fuming after the pageant when he threatened this columnist in an F-bomb-laced tirade that ended with Angel, after being restrained, saying, "Don’t ever write another word about me, or you’ll need an eyepatch over your other eye."

Criss might feel pretty good about pinking on a guy who has only ONE EYE, but then Criss went and pissed off Donald Trump:

Donald Trump, who owns Miss Universe, the umbrella group for Miss USA, told me Friday that he was disturbed by Angel’s encounter with a judge and added, "We’re going to have to look at that."

Don’t mess with the Donald, or he’ll tie you to a post, and publicly embarass you with harsh comments that are televised on national television.

Not only did the Las Vegas audience boo Heather Mills, but acted like a real diva backstage too. A source from Page Six says Heather didn’t want to sign the appearance contract because she wanted it to allow her to get paid if footage of Miss USA was resold. The source also said Heather’s "ego is enormous, and it’s getting bigger by the minute." The source went on to say "She believed that if the show got high ratings, it would be because of her. She treated this like she was starring in a big-budget movie." The producers adjusted the contract, and Heather made her appearance. The real reason Heather got on the show is because she tracked Donald Trump down while he was having dinner at Koi the night before, and the source said:

… she was hoping to "butter him up" and get his approval to be on air. "Heather was flirting with him, and she was really working it. She was unprofessional, but he said, ’Let her [go] on anyway.’ "

Is anyone surprised? The divorce was always about Heather, which could be why we never see Heather with her daughter Beatrice. Nannies are raising her, because mommy wants to be a star. When Heather was booed by the audience Heather said:

"In England, people don’t like me, but I’m going to move to America, Los Angeles, hopefully. I’ll be better off in the States."

Better off not because people will like Heather more, but because she plans to use all the hatred people have for her in the U.S. to make her a celebrity. There are two types of celebrities: the ones we love to love, and the ones we love to hate.

The source said Heather was talking to über publicist Elliot Mintz, but won’t hire him because "She’s very cheap; she could never afford his price."

Some people make a very good living out of being a cheap gold digging whore.

Miss Texas Crystle Stewart (26) (pictured below) may have won the title of Miss USA 2008, but it was Miss Missouri that got my attention. Miss Missouri is Chace Crawford’s 21 year-old sister, Candice Crawford. Candice even made it into the top ten. Put a little make-up, a wig, and a dress on Chace, and I’d be willing to bet he would have made it into the top five.

Heather Mills was in Las Vegas to participate as a judge for the Miss USA pageant. On Friday Heather Mills took time from her busy schedule to bash her former husband Paul McCartney on GMTV. Later that day she was introduced at the Miss USA pageant to an audience that loudly booed her. Donald Trump, a Miss USA pageant co-owner, told People:

"I think America wants more Heather Mills."

True. It makes people feel better about themselves when they have someone like Heather to hate, and Heather makes it so easy, and feel so right.

Heather got to ask one of the girls a question last night in the video. I wanted to scratch my eyeballs out when I saw her. Aaaaaah!
