Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez Arevalo, left, stands by as the Miss Universe crown is transferred Sunday to the actual winner of the pageant, Miss Philippines Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach. Host Steve Harvey mistakenly announced the runner up as the winner. He apologized, asking the loudly booing audience not to “hold it against the ladies.” Miss Universe 2014 Paulina Vega placed the crown on the head of the winner.

Harvey to host again despite big blunder
The Miss Universe pageant was going great until the host, popular comedian Steve Harvey, made a big mistake. He already had announced Miss Colombia as the winner last Sunday, and she already was wearing the crown. And then he reread his cue card and had to return to the stage to announce on live television that Miss Philippines actually was the winner.
