BB. PILIPINAS-INTERNATIONAL KRISTA KLEINER FACES DETHRONEMENT?

Is Krista singing "I kiss a girl and I like it..."?

It seems that the year 2010 promises to be one of the most controversial-- but hopefully equally triumphant-- years of the Philippine pageant history.

Another dethronement case is brewing against Binibining Pilipinas-International Krista Kleiner for having scandalous images of herself kissing another girl.  The 5'10.5 GMA 7 actress and taekwondo blackbelter is the girlfriend of RnB artist JayR.

According to a reliable pageant insider, the Binibining Pilipinas Charities, Inc. (BPCI) board of directors headed by the first Columbian Miss International Stella Marquez de Araneta will be meeting sometime this week to discuss the matter and announce its verdict.

I was told that BPCI is "inclined" of dethroning Krista, and replacing her with first runner-up Diane Necio. Bicolano beauty Diane was not considered as the possible replacement of Venus Raj a few months back for not fulfilling a technical requirement of the Miss Universe pageant.

In Facebook, hundreds of people have signified their petition to dethrone Krista due to the scandalous image that is "unlikely of a Filipina." Ironically, many of them are the same pageant fans who fought hard for Venus to retain her title.
