Miss Universe 2015 Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach joined Sway Calloway and his co-hosts in the Sirius Satellite Radio show "Sway in the Morning" on Jan. 8, which is part of her media rounds. During the show, the hosts allowed callers to ask the Filipino beauty queen some questions.
One of the callers was a man who identified himself as TT Baluga, which sounded like a broken Filipino phrase that is roughly translated to English as black male genital. The caller was asked by Calloway how he would impress Wurtzbach, who previously revealed that she is single.
The caller said since Wurtzbach is a Filipino, she should know that his name means and that should impress her. Unbeknownst to the "Sway in the Morning" hosts, TT sounds like the Filipino term for the male genitalia while baluga is a derogatory term for dark-skinned people in the Philippines.
Ignoring the rudeness of the caller, Wurtzbach simply morphed the derogatory Filipino term into the beluga whale. Being the elegant Miss Universe 2015 that she is, the Filipino beauty queen kept her composure as if nothing offensive was said and did not humiliate the caller.
Prior to her "Sway in the Morning" guesting, Wurtzbach revealed that "Spider-Man" actor James Franco is one of her celebrity crushes. In response, Franco took to Instagram to express his love for the Philippines.
I ❤️ the Philippines!!! ❤️ 2 @missuniverse!!!

During her first day at work as Miss Universe 2015, Wurtzbach also revealed that one of her dreams is to become a Bond girl. She did not mention who she wanted as her leading man to play James Bond but Franco could be one of her top choices.
Meanwhile, Franco is set to star in the crime drama film "King Cobra" opposite Alicia Silverstone and Molly Ringwald, who is set to perform at the Pinehurst Resort in Pinehurst, North Carolina, on Feb. 13, according to Fay Observer.
Aside from "King Cobra," Franco is also currently filming the upcoming TV mini-series titled "11.22.63." Among his co-stars are Chris Cooper, Lucy Fry, Sarah Gadon, Cherry Jones, T.R. Knight, George MacKay, Daniel Webber, Michael Izquierdo, Tonya Pinkins and Josh Duhamel, who was spotted in the Kansas City vs. Houston Texans playoff game on Jan. 9, a source told Page Six.
