Beauty pageant organizers stripped Miss Brazil
Oh, my!
of her title after they discovered she was married. Joseane Oliveira, 21, was replaced on Tuesday by first runner-up Taiza Thomsen, 21, who will perform the beauty queen's duties for the remaining three months of the reign. "Being single is a prerequisite for competing, and Joseane knew that because she signed the contract," said pageant organizer Boanerges Gaeta Jr. Oliveira will have to return $3,360 in prize money but will get to keep the jewels she received for winning the pageant, Gaeta said.
That sounds fair. How're you gonna be "Miss" something when there's a hubby waiting for you at home?
