Pia Wurtzbach reacts to Oscars flub

-



Miss Universe 2015 Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach has reacted to the Oscars mistake, saying that the epic fail could happen to anybody.

"And if it can happen to me, it can happen to anybody," said Wurtzbach, in her tweet that accompanied a clip from one of her endorsements.

It would be recalled that in December 2015, television host Steve Harvey accidentally announced that Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez won Miss Universe when in fact it was Wurtzbach.

During the Oscars show last February 26, presenters Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway announced "La La Land" as the winner when "Moonlight" had actually won. Producer Jordan Horowitz confirmed there had been a mixed up.

Oscar host Jimmy Kimmel reacted during live broadcast: "Personally I blame Steve Harvey for this."

The Miss Universe Organization immediately took to social media after the gaffe.

"Have your people call our people - we know what to do," according to the MUO tweet which has collected more than 16,000 re-tweets in one hour after it was posted.

Beatty has apologized for the Oscar blunder.

* Pia in Singapore

One month after she relinquished her crown, Wurtzbach is back on television as one of the judges for "Asia's Next Top Model" cycle 5 on April 5.

"Catch the season premiere of @asntm on April 5 as I judge to find Asia's Next Top Model," said Wurtzbach on Instagram.

The Filipino-German beauty queen has said that she will be busy with the "Top Model" show following her reign.

It was in December 2016 when rumors spread that she would appear as one of the judges for the modelling competition after she was seen with host Cindy Bishop in Singapore.


The reality show, which is the Asian version of the defunct "America's Next Top Model" by Tyra Banks, is being taped in Singapore.

Reports said that Wurtzbach would have recurring appearances on the show for several episodes.

The beauty queen has said that she will be based in New York for a while after she signed up with IMG Models talent agency. She added that she would still be working as an ambassador for the Miss Universe Organization.

She is in a relationship these days with Filipino-Swiss F1 driver Marlon Stockinger. - Robert Requintina/Tempo

Kapamilya star Diego Loyzaga has admitted that he is reaching out to his father chief operating officer of Tourism Promotions Board Cesar Montano but he doesn't know if his dad knew that he was making the move. "Oo I am. Pero I don't even know kung alam n'ya. During the Christmas party of ABS CBN last year, I was with Tito Bayani (Agbayani). E magkapitbahay silang dalawa. And even Tito Bayani was telling me hindi na n'ya nakikita si Erpat. Lagi s'yang busy. Sinabi ni Tito Bayani, 'why don't you just text him?' "said Diego, when asked if he's reaching out to his father, during an interview on "Tonight With Boy Abunda" on ABS CBN. "Sabi ko, 'why not?' Nanghihinayang ako eh. Kung kelan ako sobrang seryoso na sa ginagawa ko sa showbiz na 'to, I wanna learn so much. I'm taking workshops with Tito Pen Medina at kung sinu-sino pa. Why not my dad? Why not my father?; "Nanghihinayang lang ako. Sa kont

Her complete post: "We are sleep-deprived & the noise is stressful for me, my husband and and my children when we are home, that living in a beautiful building that has its own hotel and restaurants (and that cost more than what I sold our Wack-Wack house for!?!) still makes us all want to move out and check into a nearby hotel or transfer to a house or another condo!; "I understand how uncomfortable it is for a homeowner to have to do some construction in his own property and know he’s inconveniencing and bothering neighbors; "I am usually very understanding.
