Miss Teen U.S.A.

Welcome to YoungHollywood. com. I'm Lizzy Grubman at the Miss Teen USA after party. Let's go inside and see how these pageant girls really get down.

We have Hillary and she won. I-this is the Miss Teen USA. What is going through your mind right now?

Right after I won, I thought I'd be so excited and stuff and I was like kinda numb. And I went up to Rachel, Miss USA and I was like, is this normal? Were you kinda like blank? And she was like, totally normal. It's gonna sink in a while.

What was your favorite part about this whole experience?

The girls. I'm like hugging all of them and crying over here. They're such nice people. It just makes it such so worthwhile. And I guess winning is probably my favorite part.

Pretty big. It's an emotional time for you.

Absolutely. I cried a lot. I'm sure you saw. I cried right on stage.

Hey Young Hollywood. This is Miss Katie Blair. She just gave up the crown tonight. Former Miss Teen USA. How was it giving up your crown?

Emotional. But I am so proud of the winner and I wouldn't have chosen anyone else. She was the girl to win. Her personality. I mean you can see her personality just flowing right through her.

I'm here with Amy Teagarden. Miss Amy here was a celebrity judge. What what did you look for as a judge?

Just little things, answers, smiles, just kinda how they responded to questions.

Tara, this is Young Hollywood, so say hi to Young Hollywood.

Hi Young Hollywood.

During your reign, what was your biggest accomplishment?

Probably getting sober.

Really?

I just put my heart and soul into it. You know I realized there was a better way of life for me. I gave it all that I had. So you know now I just choose to live more positively and enjoy life and see it for what it is.

I'm here with the beautiful Rachel Smith, Miss USA.

I think it was just ultimately my calling to be Miss USA.

Not a bad gig.

No, not at all.

What's your most memorable experience so far?

I loved being on Oprah. Um I enjoyed going to the White House. I went to Kenya. That's probably Kenya that's definitely top to cake.

This is Rio Mori and she is the current Miss Universe. What are you wearing?

This is my style, you know. This is still couture but elegant, I like it.

No, and not only that, you're so unique. You really are cause you have your own style going on. And what do you think about the about Miss Colorado about the the current Miss Teen USA.

You know she's she's smart and she's sweet and she's absolutely beautiful. And she's our you know new roommate and I'm so excited to live with her.

Hey, this is Rachel Smith, Miss USA, and you are watching Young Hollywood.
