Wrong Contestant Crowned Miss California USA 2008?


Inside sources tell “Extra” that the Miss Universe organization may have a new scandal on its hands over last weekend’s Miss California USA Pageant.

“Extra” has information that the wrong contestant may have been awarded the crown due to an alleged accounting error.

Cristina Silva, Miss Los Angeles, was named Miss California USA 2008, but sources tell “Extra” the judges actually chose the 2nd runner-up, Raquel Beezley, Miss Barstow, as the winner.

Sources tell “Extra” that Silva has been made aware of the error and the pageant’s owner, Donald Trump, has been looped in as well.

Today, The Miss Universe Organization tells “Extra”, “This matter is being handled on the state level.”

I cannot believe that KEITH LEWIS is still producing the
Miss California Pageant. After the fiasco that occurred he should crawl under rock and hide. How embarrassing and how low. He has been e-mailing the girls to return and has even offered them discounts. He sounds very desperate and pathetic. He is even telling the girls to pick your their titles. So I guess I can say I am from Oakland when I am really from San Diego. As a concerned Californian my advise to you all who want to compete, be careful and watch out for Keith. He is a liar and probably has his winner already. I noticed that the last 3 winners under Keith’s direction competed multiple times. In other words, you have to return numerous times to be considered to win. First time runners you will have no chance. I think I figured it out. You see, if you keep on retuning you have invested thousands of dollars in K2 Productions. Therefore, you are a potential winner and a candidate for the Morgan Agency belonging to Keith Lewis.
Well, below is his e-mail to girls that have competed before and potential investors for K2 Productions. Read and you decide but I warn you Keith has picked his winner already.


ARE YOU A RETURNING CONTESTANT???

DON’T MISS YOUR CHANCE TO SAVE $550 ON YOUR ENTRY FEE!
DEADLINE FOR DISCOUNTS IS 2/15/08

Hello Beauty Queens,

I sincerely hope you are enjoying a wonderful week! We wanted to remind you that if you are competing for MISS CALIFORNIA USA® or MISS CALIFORNIA TEEN USA® 2009, the deadline is approaching for discounted rates on entry fees for our returning contestants!!! Plus you’ll get a chance to have one of the first picks when choosing your official title! We’re really excited at all the responses we’ve had already.
Executive producer Keith Lewis worked very hard to lower our state franchise fees so we in turn could lower your entry fee. The Miss Universe Organization charges each state a very large fee for the rights to independently produce each show on the state level. They set franchise fees based on state population; therefore because we live in California naturally we are charged more than any other state.
In order to show our appreciation for our dedicated and memorable group of recent state delegates from the 2005, 2006, and 2007 pageants, K2 Productions is offering a discounted rate of $950 until February 15, 2008.
We hope you understand that this is a huge leap and we appreciate the MUO working with us to provide it to you. We expect this year to be our best show ever! In order to cash in on the exceptional discounted rate please send your entry fee into K2 Productions before February 15, 2007! As always please do not hesitate to call us here at K2 Productions if you have any questions. We look forward to hearing from you.

Cheers,


K2 Productions Staff

I thought (KEITH LEWIS) Had resign have any of you
seen the letter he is sending to all the girls . He is
calling back girls from three years ago when he had
just started being director of the pageant .
How PATHETIC is that does he think they will come
back under his INCOMPETENT management .
( WE ARE NOT THAT STUPID K2 PRODUCTION )
They are also saying (YOU CAN PICK ANY TITLE YOU WANT) So let me get this strate you can be from
SAN DIEGO and represent SAN FRANSISCO.
$$$$$$$$$$$ KEITH $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Mr. lawrence dale
If RAQUEL BEEZLEY is very proud to be from BARSTOW
why did she or going to pack up her bags and leave it behind and move to LOS ANGELES . I would think
BARSTOW would have semi good nutritionist, personal trainers, walking coaches, Oh ya and pepole who (spoake well) I mean speak well . Oh well I guess not.
And one more thing MISS USA is not a fifteen round boxing match that you must train for three months.
She should be honest and say she just want’s to leave
BARSTOW.

I read what keith lewis sent out to eveyone . That he
will be takeing eveyone’s calls and returning them. (NOT) We have been trying to speak to him and now

- NOT SURPRISED

To the judge that wrote his or her facts.

If you expect me to believe that most of the judges wanted RAQUEL to win . I am
totaly ashemed and dissapointed at the
judges. Lets face it she looks and speaks
like a high school kid. SHE IS NOT WELL
SPOKEN , SHE DOES NOT STAND LIKE A LADY,
I can go on and on . Oh well I just hope
when she relocats to L.A. ,that’s right
she is leaving the desert so they can give her an overhall . She will be moving to L.A. so she can speak and walk and try to look like CHRISTINA SILVA. I would really like the judge who gave his so call facts to state his or her name if he or she truly has integrity.

does she need trining. Come on keith

And to the people from Barstow she is
truning her back on you and coming to

Once again RAQUEL BEEZLEY will not do a

I wounder if she is going to make us wait until she has a few months of
speech coaching. looks like we are going
to be waiting for a long time.

Keith Lewis RE-SIGN RE-SIGN RE-SIGN!!!

Donald Trump what are you waiting for. Hasn’t he caused you enough embarrasment. How can you allow this!!! I think we need to get Rosie O’Donald to ruffle your feathers and wake you up!!!

Come on Trump do what you do best and fire the guy.

But before you let him go, have Keith give Christina a public apology and you should be present by his side.
All in all this reflects bad on you as well.

After reading what Keith Lewis wrote, I am stunned and disgusted. I cannot beleive he is trying to get girls back in by giving them discounts on the fees. He is recalling girls from 2 to 3 years ago. How pathetic is that!! He claims that next year will be the best year ever. How is that possible? Who is stupid enough to get involved with an organization that is so incompetant. He claims honestly and doing the right thing? Well, why hasn’t he. He said many times that he would re-sign. Even Ellen Degeneres mentioned that on her show when Christina was her guest. Why is he still working on this. Where is Donald to fire him. I think with all this fiasco who will ever trust this pageant again. I will feel sorry for any girl that joins next year. This pageant is unfair and obviously fixed!! Ladies, there are other ways you can shine. Don’t waste your money and time with this. If you want to get into modeling, get an agent. At least you know he will represent you well. The pageant world has fallen and no longer viewed with respect and dignity and that is preety sad.

We have had a bit too much excitement over the last few weeks for my taste but the character of anyone is built not by the mistakes they may be part of but in the way they handle those mistakes. I have been open, honest and as timely as I could, given the complexity of working in a large organization and trying to maneuver in un-chartered waters. For me, I have a favorite saying which is when I knew better – I did better. This was a first. I learned a great deal and god forbid if I was ever faced with something like this again, I would put that knowledge to good use. But I will never regret being truthful in spite of whatever personal of professional criticism may follow. How can I expect you all to be the role models I aspire for you if I am unwilling to do the same? That doesn’t excuse the situation or diminish any feelings that may have come from it but it is what it is, so to say. I would love to speak with anyone who has issue with the event, outcome or our role personally because I believe in truth and in being accountable. I suspect we let each of you down and for that I am sorry I assure you that I am available if you want to talk. We have been taking every call, returning every e-mail and the office is steadfast in our commitment to remain proactive. . And I am glad to say, that a number of the calls we have had were very complimentary. I appreciate all the feedback.

For now, I am reviewing our event and trying to formulate how to move forward next year to make sure it is better. For me, I hope to expand what works, eliminate what doesn’t and fine tune the overall experience to make it as positive as it possible can be. Part of that is understanding what you want and giving it to you but the competition part is challenging. It is difficult to not be disappointed unless you are the one who goes home wearing the crown or in this year’s case, even that didn’t provide solace. But you all need to really understand the saying different night, different girl. You can not blame yourself or me for the outcome. You must enjoy the process or reconsider your involvement. Some things will work, others must be changed but at the end of the day, my commitment is to provide you with a red carpet experience you all will be proud of. I believe in the organization and the opportunity we provide our participants. I also believe that we owe it to you to deliver on our commitment. With that in mind, this year did not live up to my expectations. I have worked over the last few weeks with MUO in order to offer you an unparallel discount should you decide to return next year. I think some people think running this event is a money making venture. But the realities are that expenses have exceeded revenue each year and I am yet to be compensated for even my time. A large portion of your entry fees go directly to MUO and are not able to offset the operating costs but I have received permission to discount all returning participants from the 2005, 2006, and the 2007 events for $950 through 2/15. Think of it as Holiday Cheer with a Valentine deadline. I hope you all understand that this is a huge leap and I appreciate the MUO working with us to provide it to you, I can tell you one thing, next year will be our best year ever. I am bringing out all the stops and I hope you will be there to enjoy them with me. Happy Holidays and May you all be healthy and happy in the New Year.

Best regards,

Keith Lewis
