Miss California Mix-Up: Trump Pageant In Trouble Again

They don't call 'em drama queens for nothin'. This year's new Miss California has already been de-throned! And she didn't have to appear nude in Playboy to lose her crown. An apparent accounting mix-up of the scoring points given by five celebrity judges led to the wrong woman being crowned Miss California USA. Videojug has the exclusive scoop on what went down! They don't call 'em drama queens for nothin'. This year's new Miss California has already been de-throned! And she didn't have to appear nude in Playboy to lose her crown. An apparent accounting mix-up of the scoring points given by five celebrity judges led to the wrong woman being crowned Miss California USA. Videojug has the exclusive scoop on what went down!

Here's how it went down:

After months of dieting, working out, picking the perfect wardrobe, and a grueling weekend of interviews prior to the event, Miss Los Angeles, Christina Silva, was declared the winner of the Miss California pageant.

Christina's title of being the most beautiful girl in California has been stripped from her literally overnight.

To add insult to injury, Silva was asked to relinquish her title by personally calling Miss Barstow Raquel Beezley, who was originally named the second runner-up.

But tears and scandals are nothing new for the Miss Universe and Miss USA pageants, both run by everyone's favorite billionaire boss, Donald Trump.

The former Miss Nevada Katie Rees was de-throned after some "Girls Gone Wild-ish" footage of her was leaked to the media. Then, admitted alcoholic Miss USA Tara Conner was almost stripped of her sash before the Donald stepped in to forgive her sins.

But to be canned thanks to an accounting error? Heartbreaking AND boring.

Immediately after the pageant, several judges questioned the results of the competition at the Orpheum Theater in Los Angeles. Pageant Judge Ty Griffin told VideoJug that he and the other judges were surprised at the announcement of the winner after discussing their favorite contestants.

So they wasted no time opening and recounting the ballots... Blaming it all on "simple human error".

Sure, the pageant is allowing Silva to keep her crown, sash and necklace but it's the newly-crowned Miss California Raquel Beezely who will represent the Golden State at the Miss USA pageant in April 2008.

Small consolation for Silva, especially since she felt pressured to step down. No surprise, she has hired an attorney and is weighing her legal options. She wouldn't represent our nation well if she didn't consider suing!

Either way, Judge Ty Griffin tells VideoJug that he's hoping Christina can spin it all in her favor, since in a city like Los Angeles, bad publicity is still good publicity.

    How To Become A Contestant For Miss USA 2008... 1. Invest Millions of your mommy and daddies dollars to K2 Productions 2. Become personal friends with Keith Lewis ($$$$$) Sign up as one of his models at the The Moron Agency, I mean The Morgan Agency 3. Compete 4 years in a row in the Miss California USA Competition as Miss Barstow with mommy and daddy prancing you around like a puppet 4. Cry and complain to the higher ups that you did not win and make it clear how much money you put into Keith Lewis's mansion 5. Clearly fashion and style was not what the "judges" wanted in the winner. Hello have you seen pictures of Raquel's wardrobe. Talk about What Not To Wear! 6. Be mean and unkind to other contestants. Yes Raquel we all knew how unfriendly and cold you were not just this year but the years past 7.Go on Fox News, a nationally syndicated show, and answer questions in the dumbest way possible (Please everyone go on You Tube and watch her interview, it really proves to me and many others that the competition was fixed!!!) 8. Work at a pizza joint 9. Have no sense of self -worth and lack in higher-education "I am a beauty queen, I am pretty, Save the Whales and Free Willie" 10. Do not have any future ambitions, goals, or education. Who needs it when all she has strived for and I quote "It has been my dream my whole life to be Miss USA now I will. That's all I ever wanted" You Just have to be stupid, make love to Keith Lewis (financially), look like a wannabe Barbie Doll and oh yes have one of the worst sense of style one has seen in ages. Who is your stylist? I realize Keith appeared on the oh so "classy" show Charm School but did he really need "Hottie" or "Buckwild" to dress you? Did you really think your evening gown was even appropriate? I mean yes it was for Prom 1994, it was hideous! I end this by saying.. I support Obama for President because I believe he is the vision for change that the country needs and not the status quo. I support Christina Silva as Miss California and Miss USA 2008 because I also believed she was the vision for change in the pageant institute and not the status quo. But like everything in this world politics overrule. Obama will lose to Hillary. Christina "lost" to Raquel. Need I say more. Thank You! To all who will bombard me with your mindless commentary. This is America and I have the freedom to share my opinion. P.S. Raquel, Obama is not a special pizza sauce topping, I just wanted you to know that. Also I would love to hear what you opinions are regarding this years election. Oh, what was that, you had know idea there was an election going on!?! Because your to busy training in Los Angeles. Well don't worry call Christina she can most definitely teach you. After all she did win Miss Congeniality 2008, something you couldn't achieve the four years you competed and she is a leader and not a follower! Sincerely, No longer a supporter of the pageant institution

    Christina is Miss Hot Tamale, and Raquel is Miss Girl Next Door. Both pretty in a different way. I like them both.

    my girlfriend thinks that Rachel is technically "prettier" but I think Christina looks more "vixen" - tough choice.
