Culture: We hate Carrie Prejean. Will they please take away her crown?

  • Carrie’s fate rests in the hands of Donald Trump. Despite the fact that Trump is famous for firing people, he’s shown a little bit of compassion for pageant winners. Miss California Carrie Prejean, however, is a mess unto herself, the perfect combination of liar, activist and PR nightmare that could be enough to convince the Donald to get rid of her. Fortunately, Tami Farrell, the Miss California runner-up, has been doing most of Prejean’s job already since Prejean’s been too busy fighting gay marriage. source

Culture: Did an anti-gay-marriage answer derail a Miss USA win? Probably.

  • A lot of people were shocked.
    We were all kind of giving each other those eyes, we couldn’t believe it.
  • Miss Vermont Brooke Werner • On Miss California, Carrie Prejean’s, controversial answer to Perez Hilton’s question regarding gay marriage. Hilton, who is openly gay and famous for outing gay celebs, made it clear that he gave Prejean a low score based on her answer, and based on the way the pageant is tabulated, that might have cost her the competition. By the way, it was clear the question was in the mix, but it was pure chance that Hilton asked it and Prejean answered it. • source
