Miss Venezuela Dayana Mendoza - a 22-year old, green-eyed beauty - was crowned the winner of the 2008 Miss Universe Pageant this weekend. She is pictured here waving to the crowd and celebrating her huge victory.USA is getting a pretty bad reputation in this competition. Miss USA Crystle Stewart tripped over her evening gown during her entrance. Sadly, this was the second consecutive year the American representative fell to the ground during the evening gown portion of the competition.
