Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez is having an up-and-down sort of week. The almost-Miss Universe now has a $1 million offer to do porn, and it’s only Wednesday (though perhaps the Hump Day offer marks appropriate timing).
TMZ published Vivid Entertainment boss Steve Hirsch’s letter offering the beauty pageant contestant a million bucks to do adult films for his company.
“You will pick your partners, the type of sex you want to have and how many movies you ultimately appear in,” Hirsh wrote.
He pointed out that the most memorable pageant queen for most remains Vanessa Williams, who got a boost of notoriety for appearing in Penthouse magazine. Now, he said, she has a legitimate career.
“Celebrity sex tapes we have distributed have enhanced the careers of stars such as Kim Kardashian, Kendra Wilkinson, Pamela Anderson and many others,” Hirsh’s pitch continued.
But wait, there’s more! Hirsh even promised to “commission the making of the first Vivid Girl Crown for you,” he said, “and we believe it will be grander than anything Miss Philippines will ever wear.”
Who could possibly turn that down?
Guitierrez was initially crowned Miss Universe on Sunday, enjoying the title for a good minute or two. Then, host Steve Harvey crushed her realized dream after Fox producers told the comedian he had read the cue card wrong.
The title actually belonged to her competitor from the Philippines, and Gutierrez was only first runner-up.
The screw-up made for some really awkward TV, and birthed many memes online, as well as a new lucrative career opportunity.
