Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez has spoken out after the Miss Universe 2015debacle on Sunday, December 20 — thanking supporters and accepting her unfortunate fate. 
The 21-year-old beauty queen was momentarily awarded the title of Miss Universe 2015 when host Steve Harvey read the wrong name off the results card during his now-infamous television gaffe.
But despite many commentators, including Miss Germany, and the President of Colombia, Juan Manuel Santos, wishing Gutierrez had been the ultimate winner, the pageant contestant herself says she's at peace with the situation. Click here to find out how celebs like Sofia Vergara reacted. 
"After the storm comes the calm," the dark-haired beauty wrote via an Instagram caption. "I want to thank each and everyone of you who have sent messages of support and strength. Every one of you has become an incredible human being in my book and I am the most fortunate and thankful for having the support not only from one country but from the whole entire world," she went on. 
"Your destiny is written for you. And my destiny was this. I was able to bring happiness to my country after becoming Miss Universe for only a couple of minutes... Today because of that COLOMBIA and the LATIN COMMUNITY are being talked about in every corner of the world. I also want to congratulate the Philippines for their new Miss Universe," she added, wishing Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach well. "The happiness that you must be feeling must be incredible. Life continues and in the future we will find out why things happen the way they happen. Thank you all for your LOVE SUPPORT and KINDNESS."
Following his excruciating error, Harvey apologized to Gutierrez via Twitter. "I'd like to apologize wholeheartedly to Miss Colombia & Miss Philippines for my huge mistake. I feel terrible," he wrote.

Panda Hidden Among Snowmen Has the Internet Stumped, Enthralled

 / By Will Mendelson
We’re still trying to figure it out! A sweet cartoon which depicts a panda hidden among a bunch of snowmen has gone viral just in time for the holiday season, and it seems like everyone on the internet is trying to spot it.
Hungarian cartoonist Gergely Dudas, whose pen name is Dudolf, created the image on Wednesday, December 16, and shared it on his Facebook page. It quickly went viral, gaining more than 51,000 likes and more than 112,000 shares.
The picture has been featured on numerous websites, often accompanied by the tagline, “Can you find the panda?”
Many have taken to Facebook and Twitter to express their bewilderment over not being able to find the hidden animal.
One particular post on Facebook has been shared more than 60,000 times and liked more than 400,000 times.
“Ashamed to admit it took a while but finally found it!” one Twitter user wrote on Tuesday, December 22.
“As a panda fan, I feel like a failure for not being able to find him!” another tweeted shortly after.
Still, some people didn’t understand the hype, claiming that they were able to spot the panda immediately.
“It only took me about 45 seconds to spot the panda, but I still haven’t decoded the snowmen’s noses,” one person tweeted.
“Everyone is freaking out about this stupid panda/snowmen picture,” another tweeted. “I found it in .2 seconds.”

She's a free woman! Teresa Giudice was released from Connecticut's Danbury Federal Correctional Institution on Wednesday, December 23, following 11 months behind bars. The Real Housewives of New Jersey star is now home in the Garden State with her husband, Joe Giudice, and their four daughters — Gia, 14, Gabriella, 11, Milania, 9, and Audriana, 6 — at their Tuscan-style Franklin Lakes compound.
As previously reported, Teresa, 43, is set to celebrate Christmas Eve with her brother, Joe Gorga, and her sister-in-law Melissa Gorga.
“They're on really great terms right now," a source told Us Weekly earlier this month. "Everything that happened with Teresa going away made both women realize that there are more important things in life than their old feud. Melissa and Joe reached out to Joe Giudice … and all four of them are on the best terms they've ever been on."
The holidays will be a special time for the reality star — before the New Year begins. Her husband Joe, 43, will start his 41-month jail sentence for his fraud conviction, in March of next year. He will turn himself in at the Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institution in New Jersey.
Teresa, meanwhile, will have plenty of time to catch up with friends. Some have already opened up about their excitement that she's returned home safe and sound.
"I am so happy for her," RHONJ alum Amber Marchese exclusively told Us in a statement. "I really am. Mother and her babies united as they should be. It is a true Christmas blessing. I wish the Guidice family nothing but continued happiness, love, and blessings."
Bravo's Andy Cohen also spoke out. "Welcome home @Teresa_Giudice! #RHONJ" he tweeted on Wednesday. Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards even gave a shout-out to Teresa earlier in the week. "This morning I'm thinking about how much I love @amyschumer & how happy I am about @Teresa_Giudice coming home for Christmas #RandomThoughts," she wrote on December 20.
Tamra Judge added via Facebook: "I can't believe its been a year already. So happy that she gets to spend the holidays with her family, has to the best Christmas gift ever her children."
