Miss Universe: Another Latina Loses Beauty Crown

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – At the Miss Universe pageant, contestants are losing their crowns left and right. Or so it seems.

In last year’s pageant, Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez lost the crown to Miss Philippines Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach, after wearing it for about four minutes.  Well, actually, the crown belonged to Wurtzbach.  Pageant host Steve Harvey mistakenly announced Miss Philippines as the first runner-up and Miss Colombia as the winner.

So Miss Colombia lost the crown by a mistake.

Another Latina, 2016 Miss Universe Puerto Rico Kristhielee Caride, just lost her crown, not because of a mistake, but because of attitude. Bad attitude.

The Boricua beauty queen was stripped of her title on Thursday for not wanting to participate in interviews or take photos.

“I saw the damage that she was doing and the damage that she was doing to the organization,” said Desirée Lowry, the director of Miss Puerto Rico Universe, when announcing the organization’s decision to take away Caride’s crown.

Caride, who represented Isabela, has been replaced by Brenda Jiménez, a current biology and sociology student from Aguadilla.

So ladies, if you’re thinking of joining the Miss Universe pageant, make sure you have a good attitude.  And be prepared for mistakes. Not yours, but by the pageant host.

Miss Colombia May Get To Wear The Miss Universe Crown After All

NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – Miss Colombia 2015 Ariadna Gutierrez wore the Miss Universe crown for about four minutes during last year’s pageant, only to be taken away because of a mistake by host Steve Harvey.  That crown, of course, belongs to the real winner, Miss Philippines Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach.

But lo and behold, Gutierrez may get to wear the crown in the near future and keep it until the next Miss Universe is chosen.

The reason?  Wurtzbach is dating People magazine’s “sexiest doctor alive,” Mikhail Varshavski. The couple confirmed in their respective social media accounts that they are, indeed, seeing each other.  In fact, Wurtzbach changed her Facebook profile to “In a relationship.”

Remember, the official rules of the Miss Universe Pageant, one of which says that “if for any reason the new Miss Universe cannot fulfill her obligations, the first runner-up will become Miss Universe.?” That first runner-up would, of course, be Gutierrez.

So Gutierrez is hoping that Wurtzbach and Varshavski decide to get married soon which would then disqualify the Filipina beauty from continuing her reign.  After all, the pageant cannot have a Mrs. Universe.

Madonna Arrested In Australia!

Leave a comment

imageMELBOURNE, Australia (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau ) – Singer Madonna has been arrested in Melbourne, Australia hours after she pulled down the top of a 17-year-old fan, exposing the latter’s breast.

The incident happened during the singer’s concert during which she invited the girl on stage.

“She’s the kind of girl you just want to slap on the ass. And pull,” Madonna said, as she yanked down the girl’s strapless top to briefly reveal one of her breasts, while the crowd kept on cheering, The Guardian reports.

The weird move was caught on video and has now gone viral. (Because we are a family-oriented site, we chose not to include a link to the video, but you can always Google it!)

“I’m sorry, sexual harassment,” the singer added. “You can do the same to me. Good luck,” she said, pointing to her cinched costume.

Australian authorities told The Adobo Chronicles that no one — not even an international celebrity like Madonna — is above the law.  “Her act constituted a violation of laws against indecent exposure, sexual assault, and violating a minor,” the authorities said. “It was same-sex assault, but an assault nevertheless,” they added.

Madonna’s spokesperson said that the whole thing was an accident, some “wardrobe malfunction which the young girl seemed to enjoy.”

The singer has been released after posting a $1 Million bail, which to her is a mere spare change.

As a result of the incident, Madonna is now forever banned from entering Australia, the second country to impose such restriction.

Madonna is also banned from entering the Philippines, after she disrespected the Philippine flag during her ‘Rebel Heart’ concert tour in Manila last February.

The singer is filing an appeal before the United Nations asking that both Australia and the Philippines rescind the ban against her, citing artistic freedom and freedom of speech.
