The newly crowned Miss Universe 2009 Stefania Fernandez did some pre-birthday celebrating today with Miss USA 2009 Kristen Dalton. Fernandez, a Venezuelan model, will turn 19-year-old on Friday, September 4.
The beauty queens, who live together in a Manhattan penthouse, participated in a photo call on the Top of the Rock Observation Deck at Rockefeller Center when Dalton surprised Fernandez with a box filled with cupcakes.
Several interesting situations have cropped up for pageant owner Donald Trump this week. A Miss Universe choreographer accused the real estate tycoon of pageant fixing, with allegations that Donald Trump hand picks some of the finalists prior to judging.
The other dilemma involves Miss USA first runner-up Carrie Prejean, who filed a lawsuit in California earlier this week, claiming that the Miss California USA co-directors Keith Lewis and Shanna Moakler engaged in religious discrimination, libel and slander.
