Miss USA, Crystle Stewart falls on stage at Miss Universe pageant in Vietnam. A big oops for Miss USA. I guess it’s not easy to look pretty, smile and don’t do anything stupid  else. I have to give her this much, she still looked hot and graceful after the fall.

She stood up and clapped her hands over her head, not bad for an impromptu!
