Congrats are in order to Miss Michigan, Rima Fakih as she was crowned the first Arab-American, and Muslim, Miss USA.
Fakih, 23, was born in Lebanon, moved to the U.S. as a baby, was raised in New York and moved with her family to Dearborn, Mich., in 2003, according to the Detroit Free Press. She told pageant officials that her family celebrates both Muslim and Christian faiths. Asked how she felt after winning the crown during the primetime NBC telecast, Fakih replied: "Ask me after I've had a pizza."Cute!
CONGRATS again to Rima....she is GORGE!
