When you're searching for the finest beauty pageant judges, you need not look any further than the recent Miss USA contest, which featured professional divorcée Heather Mills and Rob Schneider (aka Deuce Bigelow) awarding the crown to Miss Texas, Crystle Stewart.

All Bigelows aside, you have to be impressed by Crystle's moxy: She entered the Miss Texas contest five times before taking the title that sent her to the national stage. You may think of Crystle as Miss USA 2008, but we'll always remember her as Miss Harris County, Miss Houston and Miss Fort Bend County.

(We're not obsessed with beauty pageant winners, we swear. Just don't look here, here or here.)
