LAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles) – Winning the Miss Universe crown means one has to wear it for a full year until her successor is chosen. For reigning Miss Universe Paulina Vega of Colombia, she is refusing to give up her crown — at least not until January 24, 2016. She was crowned on January 25, 2015 in Doral, Florida.

This next Miss Universe will be crowned at the Planet Hollywood resort in Las Vegas on December 20, 2015 — a little more than a month short of a full year’s reign for Vega.

Per tradition, the outgoing Miss Universe transfers her crown to her successor during the pageant finals. Since Vega has decided to keep her crown, the Miss Universe organization had to order a second crown for the pageant winner this month.

This is the second time this year that Vega has refused to relinquish her crown. Earlier this year, former Miss Universe owner Donald Trump asked her to give up her crown after she had criticized and condemned the Republican presidential candidate for his comments about Mexicans and Mexican immigrants. Trump called her a hypocrite for holding on to her title while condemning the pageant owner.

Because Vega refuses to step down as the reigning queen, there will be no traditional farewell walk at the Las Vegas pageant. It would also mean that for 34 days after December 20, there will be two reigning Miss Universes!

MIAMI, Florida (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Donald Trump can’t handle the truth — that even his beauty queens don’t support his pronouncements about Mexicans and immigrants.

Trump has made illegal immigration the centerpiece of his bid to become the next president of the United States. He not only called for the building of a great wall in the southern border between the U.S. and Mexico, but maintained that Mexico is sending rapists, drug addicts and criminals to America.

That didn’t sit well with reigning Miss Universe Paulina Vega of Colombia. She criticized Trump for his comments, joining the chorus of Latin countries in denouncing the Republican presidential candidate for his racist remarks.

Trump called Vega a “hypocrite” for criticizing him while wanting to hold on to the Miss Universe crown.

Well, Trump, owner of the Miss Universe Pageant, has the last word, just like in his reality TV show, ‘The Apprentice.” He told Vega, “You’re fired!’

In accordance with Miss Universe regulations, whenever the reigning Miss Universe, for whatever reason, is unable to fulfill her duties, the first runner-up becomes Miss Universe. That would mean Miss U.S.A. Nia Sanchez.

But there is a problem.

Sanchez is Latina and is not willing to wear the Miss Universe crown because of Trump’s anti-Latin comments.

So, the Miss Universe title is currently vacant.

But Miss Philippines MJ Lastimosa volunteered to wear the crown if Trump was okay with it.

No word yet from Trump. Stay tuned!
