From the NYDaily News‘ Ben Widdicombe: Miss USA Rachel Smith (the contestant who took a spill during the Miss Universe pageant) about wanting to be a reporter, or a model:
“I always wanted to be a reporter — maybe some TV. Who knows? Some serious news — but some modeling, too,” she said at the Women in Entertainment Empowerment Network event last week.
“I just don’t want to end up like Katie Couric. I want people to take me seriously.”
