Miss Universe Canada 2013 made ugly mistake, crowns wrong winner

TORONTO - Hours after Denise Garrido was crowned Miss Universe Canada 2013, then 1st runner-up Riza Santos, a Filipino-Canadian, was declared the real winner after A Beauties Of Canada' (BOC) Production found out that a human error took place during the coronation ceremony.

In a statement published at the Miss Universe Canada official website, the BOC Production corrected the unfortunate and awkward coronation of Denise Garrido held last May 25 at the St. Lawrence Center for the Arts in Toronto, Canada. Below is the complete statement:

MISS UNIVERSE CANADA 2013 FINAL RESULTS
The 2013 Miss Universe Canada pageant took place on Saturday, May 25 at the St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts in Toronto. During the validation of the computerized scoring results (which occurs the following day), a typo was discovered in the top 5 entries, which significantly impacted the final results of the competition. This is the first instance of this type of error in the 11 years that Beauties of Canada (BOC) has produced the Miss Universe Canada pageant.

This is an unfortunate circumstance where a human error was made, and in such a situation, as difficult as it is, it is only right to correct the error. Therefore, the official results of Miss Universe Canada 2013 are as follows:

Miss Universe Canada 2013 ­ Riza Santos (Calgary, AB)
1st runner-up ­ Siera Bearchell (Moose Jaw, SK)
2nd runner-up ­ Diana Martin (Mississauga, ON)
3rd runner-up ­ Denise Garrido (Bradford, ON)
4th runner-up ­ Michelle McKay (Sarnia, ON)

We would like to offer our sincere apology to Denise Garrido for this human error discovered while validating the results. Miss Garrido’s example and grace represents all we look for at Miss Universe Canada. We have no doubt she will continue to succeed in her endeavours and we wish her well. We truly hope she remains a strong part of the Miss Universe Canada Organization.

Delicious looking sushi, hot dogs and spaghetti bolognese are all made from CAKE

By KATY WINTER

Full English anyone? Unbelievably this fry up, including bacon, toast, baked beans a potato cake and fried egg is made entirely of Victoria Sponge cake and carefully crafted icing

These savoury dishes might look like they would be suited to being served up at the dinner table - but they are actually made entirely from CAKE.
From burger and chips to a jacket potato and baked beans, talented baker Nikki Dixon has created them all from the humble Victoria sponge - and some clever icing.
The incredibly realistic cakes are served in the same manner as the dishes they copy, with the burger being garnished with shortbread chips - and even served with a 'ketchup' dip - made from raspberry jam.

Italian feast: Talented baker Nikki Dixon has turned her passion for food fixing into a business - and is inundated with orders for her unusual creations, like this spaghetti with meatballs

What at first glance appears to be a sandwich baked on soft white bread, dripping with mayonniase, is actually a vanilla sponge filled with cream.
Baker Nikki, from Southampton, has now turned her passion for food fixing into a business - and is inundated with orders for her unusual desserts after opening FoodieCakes in December last year.
Nikki, 22, said: 'I started making novelty cakes after I decided to bake my boyfriend, John, a birthday meal.

Unbelievable: All the cakes are served up in the manner the dishes they are emulating would be, including this incredible realistic sushi set including Californian rolls, which is served with chopsticks and even 'soy sauce'

'He loves burgers, but I wanted to make something a bit special - so I decided to make him a burger birthday cake.
'He loved it, and posted a picture of it on Facebook - but before long there were more comments about the cake than there were people wishing him happy birthday.

Deceptive: These roast beef and egg sandwiches might give the snacker a shock when they discover that they are in fact cake slices filled with clever icing and cream

'People were begging me to make them a food cake too, and before long, I was spending most of my time baking novelty cakes.
'I love coming up with new ideas and new challenges.
'I've just perfected a jacket potato and baked beans cake, which was very fiddly, but it looked great - and the customer was thrilled with it.

Breakfast on the go? These smoked salmon and cream cheese seeded bagels could easily be mistaken for their savory inspiration

'I started my own business about six months ago and I've been inundated with orders ever since.
'I'll make whatever anyone asks for - some are easier than others, but cakes and icing are pretty versatile.
'I've started making mini-bagels and little sandwiches too, which are really popular with corporate customers - I guess they make a talking point in the board room!'

Button or chestnut? Slicing this mushroom will only reveal a soft cake and cream filling

Fries on the side: These cake burgers can be served with shortbread chips and even a ketchup sauce

Hot dog wonder: This traditional all-American fast food favorite has been give a sweet make over by Niki, complete with 'mustard' icing

Best of British: Pie, mash and peas, served with a chocolate sauce gravy

The ensemble resembled that of a Mumu, but in the shorter and more chic variety.
The Keeping Up With The Kadashians star teamed the roomy item with a black blazer and a pair of sensible black studded sandals.
Kim wore her raven locks out in a wavy style and accessorised with a black leather Hermes Birkin bag and a pretty crystal necklace.

This is the pinnacle: Anderson is incredibly thin so soon after the birth of her child

The TV star's outing comes after she received a visit from fitness trainer to the stars, Tracy Anderson, earlier in the day, who arrived with her own young baby and squeezed into tiny, tiny jeans.
This would either be a galling or encouraging sight to Kim, given the changes her figure has undergone since she became pregnant last year.

Baby body workout plan: Celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson has worked with Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow and Nicole Richie, and says that Kim's body will be better after the baby than before she was pregnant

It wasn't clear whether or not this was a social visit or if Tracy was there to work through some gentle exercises
with Kim as her due date approaches.
Anderson says Kim will have no problem regaining her pre-pregnancy body because she is already in tip-top shape.

Training schedule: Kim Kardashian, pictured here earlier in her pregnancy, has hired trainer Tracy Anderson to help her get back into shape after her baby is born

Tracy, who is also responsible for keeping Gwyneth Paltrow and Nicole Richie in shape, told HollywoodLife.com: 'I know she will. She's so young, and she's got me helping her, so she's going to look better after pregnancy than she's ever looked. I guarantee it.

Is this the girl who came between Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart? Actor poses with blonde British playwright pal in cosy Twitter snap

By LOUISE SAUNDERS

The not-so-mysterious blonde: It has been claimed Robert Pattinson's close friendship with British playwright Polly Stenham, pictured, was a 'potential cause' for his split from Kristen Stewart

Their split became official when Robert Pattinson moved his belongings out of the home he shared with long-term love Kristen Stewart last week.
And while it has already been claimed the actor's friendship with singer Katy Perry was one of the reasons behind the doomed romance, it would seem there could be another leading lady who has also come between the couple.
RadarOnline reports the 27-year-old hunk's close friendship with British playwright Polly Stenham was a 'potential cause' for the Twilight co-stars' sudden split.

In happier times: The Twilight co-stars are said to have called time on their romance earlier this month

And now a cosy Instagram picture of the pair has emerged, showing the talented 26-year-old with her arm draped around Robert and another pal as they enjoyed a night out in New York City.
It is thought the arty black and white snap was taken in early May when Robert and Polly enjoyed a night of partying together shortly before his shock split from Kristen.
Posted on Instagram by the star's musician friend Matthew Daniel Siskin, known as Gambles, the undated picture was soon deleted from the social networking site.
Alongside the snap, it said: 'Missing the New York crew.'

Moving out and moving on: A large moving truck picked up the last of Robert's belongings from the former couple's home in Los Feliz, California, on Thursday

And it has now been speculated that Polly was the mystery blonde the actor was spotted enjoying an intimate dinner with at Gemma in the Bowery Hotel on May 3.
A source told HollywoodLife.com at the time: 'They seemed like old-time friends.'
However, it has also been claimed that Robert's close friendship with singer Katy Perry was one of the contributing factors to the split.

Beginning of the end: Robert was said to be unable to trust Kristen following her affair with married Snow White And The Huntsman director Rupert Sanders, pictured, last summer

After weathering the storm of her sex scandal with Rupert Sanders last year, Kristen and Robert reportedly broke up for good earlier this month when he reportedly found text messages from her to the Snow White and The Huntsman director and became upset that they were still in contact.
A source told Life & Style magazine: 'Katy never really supported Rob's decision to get back with Kristen. She always said they wouldn't last.

Showbiz pals: It's also been claimed Robert's friendship with Katy Perry was one of the contributing factors to the split, as she disapproved of the actor's reunion with his Twilight co-star following her sex scandal

Being able to enjoy a spot of alone time was no doubt a welcome break for the star, who has been rushed off her feet in recent weeks.
The star - who has daughters Sam, nine, and Lola, eight - became the temporary guardian of her ex-husband Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller's twin sons, Bob and Max, earlier this month.
Brooke, 35, is currently being treated in the Betty Ford Clinic for her 20th stay in rehab, and her drug addiction will be thoroughly investigated ahead of a June 4 hearing which will determine who will have care of the twins for the next six months.

Yummy mummy: Denise has previously revealed she maintains her incredible bikini body by working out and eating small, healthy meals 'all day long'

Denise has made no secret of her hard work ethic when it comes to maintaining her incredible bikini body, and stays in shape by working out and eating small, healthy meals 'all day long'.
She previously told Self magazine: 'I am very active. I found what works for my body - everyone's body is different and I think it's best to find what works for you. For me it's Pilates and dance.
'My diet is 80 percent vegetarian and I eat all day long. I have lots of little meals; it's best for me. I found eating three big meals I felt too full and got tired especially after lunch.

Fun in the sun: Denise seemed to be in high spirits as she enjoyed her day of relaxation, waving away to her friends and snapping pictures of them on her iPhone

And action! The former model certainly appeared to be enjoying having some rare time to herself

'I eat lots of fruit, veggies, egg whites, oatmeal, a little chicken, eggs, rice - that's mostly my diet. I do splurge on ice cream and I love pretzels. My abs get the best workout with my Pilates reformer - I had two C-sections and it was the only thing I found that got my tummy flat.'
And the star explained she is currently in better shape than ever, and feels more confident about her figure than she did two decades ago.
She added: 'Turning 40 I honestly feel better than ever. I feel more confident with my body than I did in my 20s.'
