Miss Universe 2008 on Regis and Kelly

Dayana Mendoza, the recently crowned Miss Universe for 2008, was on Live with Regis and Kelly this morning where she talked about her experience with host, Kelly Ripa, and guest co-host, Bryant Gumble. 

I have to talk about this, though… When she came out onto the stage, Kelly was wearing a tiara and then had Dayana reenact the moment where Kelly “wins” the pageant.  I don’t know why but I found that pretty tacky.  What did you think?

I enjoyed the interview because Dayana was so energetic.  I hate those beauty queens who just sit there and “look pretty.”  Watch it here:
