ALL that strutting at the Miss Universe pageant has taken its toll on Aussie beauty queen Erin McNaught, who returned to Sydney this week battling stress fractures in her feet.

Resting up yesterday aboard Lindsay Fox's $11 million yacht, the 24-year-old told fashion editor Holly Byrnes she had to put a post-pageant holiday to Las Vegas on hold while she sought medical help.

Three weeks tottering about in skyscraper heels didn't pay off either as the crown went to Miss Puerto Rico Zuleyka Rivera. But in Vegas, McNaught and friends met up with Britney Spears and her husband Kevin Federline.

Mr Spears, or, as he calls himself, K-Fed, was filming a videoclip for his latest single and recruited McNaught's posse to play extras.

But the Gold Coast gal was having none of the bad boy's posturing, knocking back an offer to be a "video chick" and instead hitting the shops.
