Miss California, Carrie Prejean will keep her crown
...
Donald Trump, owner of the Miss USA pageant, has announced today that he will allow Miss California, Carrie Prejean, to retain her crown.
The controversy began when celebrity blogger, Perez Hilton, asked Prejean a question pertaining to gay marriage. Prejean answered in a "bibically correct" way stating that marriage should only be between "opposites," meaning a man and a woman. This set off a fire storm, starting with Perez Hilton calling her a "dumb bitch" a comment which he quickly apologized for.
In the following days and weeks Prejean made the media rounds and told her story at multiple church services. Eventually she got involved with the National Orginization for Marriage (NOM) an anti-gay marriage group. Miss California execs said that Carrie was unobtainable to them and only had contact with them via her team of handlers, which was provided to her via NOM.
Within a few days it was revealed that the Miss Cali pageant paid for breast implants for Prejean and eventually partially nude photos were revealed to the public (which you can see here). Prejean claimed that they were take when she was 17, creating a difficult situation for bloggers who wanted to post her photos. Recently, though, it was found out that this first set of photos was taken after her breast implants, meaning on or after January 9, 2009, making her a legal adult.
And today yet another set of photos were released, but this time they are MUCH more revealing (to see them click here). These photos come after Prejean signed a contract stating that no nude or semi nude photos of her existed.
As for what Trump had to say about the controversy, "[Carrie] gave a very honest answer when asked a tough question," he said at a New York press conference with Prejean sitting next to him. "It was the same answer the president of the United States gave... She has to be commended." Trump continued on to say that "we are in the 21st century. We have determined that the pictures taken were fine."
I wonder if he has seen the new set of photos, which were released at about the same time the press conference was held.
What do you think about this whole entire situation? I for one am glad it is over, if it is, in fact, over.
