Outstanding!

Twenty-four year-old Miss Michigan, Rima Fakih, an immigrant from Lebanon, was crowned Miss USA last night!

Though she almost took a tumble in her evening gown, Rima admitted she knew she had won the title after noticing a certain look on pageant owner Donald Trump's face. She told reporters:

"That's the same look that he gives them when he says, 'You're hired,'."

Charming! Lovely! Well deserved!

Congrats, girl!
