I couldn't wait to get on the phone with Gaspar this morning to talk about the fall last night on the Miss Universe Pageant. She handled herself very well under the circumstances....
Crystle Stewart has some advice for her successor as Miss USA: Ditch the evening gown.
“I would tell her to put grips on the bottom of her shoes and wear a short dress, not a long gown,” the reigning Miss USA told TODAY’s Matt Lauer and Ann Curry Monday via telephone from the Vietnamese resort of Nha Trang. During the Miss Universe competition on Saturday night, she became the second consecutive Miss USA to do a butt-plant on live television during the evening gown competition. Stewart, a 26-year-old Texan, handled the tumble with a trouper’s aplomb: She put on a radiant smile as she picked herself up and clapped her hands over her head, as if to say, “I meant to do that.”

“I’m only human,” Stewart said. “I already fell; there’s nothing I could do about it. The first thing I thought was ‘Let’s have a round of applause.’ ”
