The Miss Universe pageant was held over the weekend in Vietnam, and for the second year in a row, America's entry fell on her butt and got the headlines. 26-year-old Crystle Stewart of Texas tripped over her gown and landed on the front page. Miss Venezuela won the crown.

Last year, Miss USA was Rachel Smith, who tripped at the Miss Universe pageant in Mexico City and became a star on YouTube. Who won that contest? Um, I don't recall. So remember, it's not whether you win or lose, it's whether you stand out against the crowd.
