"From the minute she walked in the building, people said, 'She's a star,'" Trump said.
Trump added that Colombia was in the running to host next year's pageant, but noted that China was also a strong candidate.

Beauty pageants are big business in Latin America, where girls are groomed for the contests from a young age and where Vega said women take "a lot of pride" in representing their country.
Pageants and performance run in Vega's family. Her grandmother, Elvira Castillo, was Miss Atlntico 1953 (Colombia) and her grandfather is the legendary tenor Gastn Vega.
As Miss Universe, Vega will receive an undisclosed salary, a luxury apartment in New York, a wardrobe, oodles of beauty products, and a one-year scholarship from the New York Film Academy.
