venezuela wins ms. universe 2008

Venezuela, for the nth time, grabs the crown of this year's Miss Universe pageant. Shown here is Dayana Mendoza as she was crowned the 2008 most beautiful woman. And hear this, 5 other Latin beauties got in this year's top 5!

And I heard that this year's Miss USA Crystle Stewart tripped on the train of her jewel-filled gown. As we all remember, last year's US candidate tripped over her gown too. Are these American beauties cursed? Uh-duuh.

Anyway, the Philippines' bet didn't make it still. And it's almost 4 decades since we last got the crown. After Gloria Diaz and Margie Moran, will we ever get the Miss Universe crown ever again?
