More pageant hijinks! Jessica Wittenbrink's $3,400 gown was vandalized during the Miss South Florida Fair pageant. Perhaps sabotage paves the way for success, because Wittenbrink, like the pepper-sprayed Miss Puerto Rico, went on to win the Miss South Florida crown. (And appear on the Today Show this morning). The Palm Beach County sheriff says there is not enough conclusive evidence to to nab a suspect at this time. [UPI]

Miss Puerto Rico Universe, whose pageant-win erupted in controversy, was exonerated by police yesterday. For those of you not following the Aqua Net-shellacked saga, Ingrid Rivera said that someone had doused her makeup and dress with pepper-spray during the pageant, causing her to break out in hives. A few days later, reports surfaced that said no traces of pepper spray were found on Rivera's gowns, and the upwelling of support for Rivera turned into a major backlash. Now, police have decided that Rivera's claims were "sincere" and that the pepper spray perp might have been a pageant volunteer. Ingrid can now attend the Miss Universe pageant next year in Vietnam with her hair held high. [People]
