The crown being removed from Miss Colombia and placed on Miss Philippines. Both contestants handled the sad situation well.

A law firm in Colombia has announced their intention of suing the Miss Universe pageant, after a mix up ended in tears for their nation's contestant. In what is being blamed on a teleprompter error, host Steve Harvey, announced that Miss Colombia, Ariadna Gutierrez, had won the pageant. Shortly after, Harvey stepped forward and apologized stating the actual winner is Miss Philippines, Pia Wurtzbach. The crown was removed from Miss Colombia's head and place on Miss Philippines.

The law firm contends, "The crown is an acquired right that cannot be taken away from us." The problem with the lawsuit is it was revealed yesterday by big mouth blogger Perez Hilton, who slammed Miss Colombia in an unnecessarily rant about her translator, that the judges had chosen Miss Philippines.

Congratulations to Miss Philippines,” said Hilton...
