Miss Universe owner&lt;strong&gt; Donald Trump&lt;/strong&gt; gave Monnin a 24-hour ultimatum to retract her statements that pageant winners are predetermined -- but Monnin refused.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So this morning, one of Donald's lawyers tells TMZ, the Miss Universe Organization -- Miss USA's parent company -- has filed docs to take the matter before a private arbitrator, and he intends to go after Monnin for all she's worth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The action was not filed as a formal lawsuit in court because of a stipulation in Monnin's contract -- which requires any dispute to be handled through private arbitration, and only if it can't be worked out there can it be filed in court.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We're told the Miss Universe team has filed two separate causes of action -- breaching the contract by talking trash about the pageant and a second claim for defamation.&amp;#160; How much are they going for? We're told, \"Significant damages.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Attempts to reach Monnin were unsuccessful."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
