STEVE HARVEY INVITES MISS PHILIPPINES AND MISS COLOMBIA TO ‘FAMILY FEUD’

imageNEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles) – In an effort to repair his reputation as a television host after that Miss Universe gaffe on Sunday, Steve Harvey has extended an invitation to Miss Philippines and Miss Colombia to appear on his syndicated show, ‘Family Feud.’

“I hope that both Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach and Ariadna Guetierrez will accept my invitation for them to be my guests during the show’s special Miss Universe edition, ” Harvey said.

“Family Feud” is an American television game show created by Mark Goodson where two families compete to name the most popular responses to survey questions in order to win cash and prizes.

For the special Miss Universe edition, there will only be two individual contestants — not families: Miss Universe and the first runner-up.

No crown and no prizes will be at stake, but Harvey hopes that his gesture will settle once and for all the controversy surrounding his mistake during the pageant finals in which he announced Miss Colombia as the new Miss Universe only to reverse himself moments later to say that it was actually Miss Philippines who won the contest.

“This invitation is also made in the spirit of sincere apology, camaraderie and world peace,” the TV host concluded.

And the survey said. . .

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles) – Perez Hilton, one of the four celebrity judges at last Sunday’s Miss Universe beauty pageant is finally breaking his silence about the gaffe in which pageant host Steve Harvey first announced that Miss Colombia won the crown and moments later recanting, saying it was actually Miss Philippines who won.

Miss Philippines Pia Wurtzbach deserved to win, the Hollywood entertainment mogul categorically stated on his website.

Perez also revealed that all four celebrity judges voted for Wurtzbach to be Miss Universe. “It was unanimous!’ The other judges were  Emmy Award-nominated actress Niecy Nash, 2012 Miss Universe Olivia Culpo and football legend Emmitt Smith.

The Miss Universe Organization also hinted today that Miss Philippines received a unanimous vote in the public online voting, at least among all Filipino voters. Viewers worldwide had the opportunity to vote for their favorite contestant in real time.

As for Miss Germany who claimed none of the contestants (who were announced as the surprise judge) voted for Wurtzbach, Hilton said, “How can Miss Germany know that? The contestants’ votes were anonymous.”

In the world (or planetarium) of Miss Universe, reason prevails. And so does rhyme. Unanimous, Anonymous.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles) – Donald Trump, the former owner of the Miss Universe Organization, has proposed that Miss Colombia and Miss Philippines should be proclaimed “co-winners” in last Sunday’s Miss Universe pageant.

The Republican presidential candidate was asked by Matt Lauer on NBC’s “Today Show” what his solution would have been following the crowning error in which host Steve Harvey first announced that Miss Colombia had won the pageant, only to reverse himself minutes later, saying that Miss Philippines had actually won.

“I’ll tell you what I think I’d do.  I think I’d make them a co-winner (sic). It’d  be very cool,” he said.

The Adobo Chronicles caught up with Trump as he was leaving his Trump Towers in Las Vegas today.

We asked him what would happen with a single crown if there were two winners.

“I will donate a second crown.  Even if I no longer own the Miss Universe organization, I am happy to resolve this embarrassing situation,” Trump said.

This year’s Miss Universe crown was designed by Diamonds International Corporation (DIC), one of the pageant’s sponsors.  It is inspired by DIC’s Czech roots and the pageant’s home base, New York City.

The crown is made up of 33 Bohemian crystals, five blue topaz stones, 198 blue sapphires, and 311 diamonds.  It is estimated to cost $300,000.

“The cost for a second crown would be peanuts to me.  I’m very rich,” Trump reminded us.

The new owners of Miss Universe, WME/IMG, have not indicated whether they will accept Trump’s suggestion and donation.
