New York – Miss Venezuela has won Miss Universe 2008, besting three other Latinas (Miss Colombia, Miss Dominican Republic, Miss Mexico) and Miss Russia for the title in a colorful pageant in Vietnam.
At a news conference after this year’s event, a beaming Mendoza said she was excited to see her family and enjoy some of her mothers cooking.
“When I go back to Venezuela I will jump on my family and they will jump on me,†said Mendoza.
But a big story here was the fall of Miss USA.
For the second year in a row, Miss USA fell flat on her bottom at the Miss Universe pageant. Miss USA Crystle Stewart, of Texas, fell down during the evening gowns segment of the 2008 Miss Universe beauty pageant in Nha Trang, Vietnam on Sunday.
Miss USA 2007, Rachel Smith, suffered a similar embarrassing tumble at last year’s Miss Universe competition.
