In brief: Miss Virginia is Miss America

Las Vegas – Miss Virginia Caressa Cameron won the 2010 Miss America title Saturday night after strutting in a skintight yellow dress, belting Beyonce’s “Listen” from “Dreamgirls” and telling kids they should get outside more often.

Cameron, a 22-year-old from Fredericksburg, Va., won a $50,000 scholarship and the crown in Las Vegas after a pageant that started with 53 contestants.

Cameron is a broadcast journalism student at Virginia Commonwealth University, and wants to become an anchor.

Miss California Kristy Cavinder was the first runner-up, winning $25,000.
