June 7, 2011

LasVegasWeekly.com is reporting that Miss USA Rima Fakih was in attendance at Planet Hollywood’s welcoming ceremony for the 60th anniversary of the Miss USA pageant. The event featured past winners of the Miss USA pageant.

Fakih did address her absence at last night’s WWE Tough Enough finale by saying, “I’ve had a phenomenal year. I’m actually missing the finale tonight being in Vegas for the WWE wrestling show Tough Enough that Vince McMahon booked me for. I have managed to sign some autographs, though, already in Vegas for WWE fans who turned out to welcome me."
