NEWLY CROWNED MISS AMERICA GIVES LUXE LIFE HER FIRST INTERVIEW

Kirsten spent a farewell evening with her grandmother, Iora Hunt, who competed as Miss Michigan in the 1944 Atlantic City pageant, and her parents before packing for her 12 months away from home. She battled bad weather air-traffic delays here yesterday in Vegas because of heavy west coast rains and east coast ice-storms, but pre-dawn today she was on CNN Headline News with pageant judge Robin Meade for three–hours. By the time she wraps tonight on CNBC’s 10 p.m. Big Idea with Donny Deutsch, she will also have appeared on Live! With Regis and Kelly and ABC News.

I was privileged to meet with Kirsten both the night before the pageant at the Evening of Dreams private gala which I emceed and again exclusively backstage after her debut press conference in the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino.
