Nigeria In One Minute
Companies pitch for Miss Colombia
Though she may have felt the glamour and glory of being Miss Universe for just two minutes at the last edition of the beauty pageant when comedian Steve Harvey mistakenly placed the crown on her head instead of Miss Philippines, companies pitching burgers and beers want to re-crown Miss Colombia and make her super famous and wealthy.
Sources connected with the scorned Miss Universe contestant tell TMZ, a high-powered manager, who reps Sofia Vergara, is working on her behalf and is in talks with Burger King for a fantastic commercial. Miss Colombia would star in a kids’ meal spot where everyone keeps their crown.

Reports say the manager, Luis Balaguer, is also talking to Corona about a commercial featuring Ariadna Gutierrez on the beach with a cold one. The hook, “corona” is “crown” in Spanish.
And there’s more … Ariadna’s dream is to become a Victoria’s Secret angel, and sources say Balaguer has been in touch with the company.
