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.

COLOMBIA RENAMES ITSELF TO COLUMBIA

BOGOTÁ, Colombia (The Adobo Chronicles) – The Republic of Colombia, one of the Latin countries comprising South America, has gained overnight popularity, thanks to that eventful night in Las Vegas on Sunday.

Miss Universe host Steve Harvey misread his cue card and announced that Miss Colombia had won the 2015 crown, only to reverse himself moments later to say that it was actually Miss Philippines who won the pageant.

That awkward moment of de-crowning the Latin Beauty and (re)crowning the Filipina was the most reported and talked about event in the last 24 hours. News reports and social media posts all but put Colombia in the spotlight, making it the most searched country on the Internet.

Alas, people around the world kept misspelling Colombia, thinking that the country’s name was no different from the famous university in New York or the U.S. capital situated in the District of Columbia.

In order to sustain the popularity and unparalleled momentum, the Colombian government decided to rename the country Columbia, hoping that this would significantly increase tourism to the South American country while making sure that people will not forget the 2015 Colombian beauty queen who was crowned and de-crowned in Las Vegas.

Bienvenidos a todos. Nuestra pais se llama Columbia!

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.
