I knew she would keep her title since Donald stated that she is a "seriously good looking girl" and that they're making a big deal about the pictures. I think he knew they were targeting her due to her opinion rather than the pics.
So when you think things start to get "friendly" after Donald Trump held a meeting that ended up in hugs and smiles, now Shanna Moakler resigns from post as Miss California Pageant Director.

Just one day after learning that Carrie Prejean will keep her Miss California crown, state pageant director Shanna Moakler resigned. According to a report in Us magazine, the co-pageant director and former Miss USA said it was "in her best interest to resign." "I cannot with a clear conscious move forward supporting and promoting the Miss Universe Organization when I no longer believe in it, or the contracts I signed committing myself as a youth," she said. "I want to be a role model for young [women] with high hopes of pageantry, but now feel it more important to be a role model for my children. I am sorry and hope I have not let any young supporters down but wish them the best of luck in fulfilling their dreams." Prejean was named first runner-up at the April 19 pageant, during which she cause a firestorm by responding to a judge's question by saying she favored limiting marriage to a man and a woman. Shortly afterward, Moakler and her co-director Keith Lewis criticized the beauty queen for appearing in advertisements for groups opposed to same-sex marriage and for failing to reveal that she had posed in racy photos. Lewis slammed Prejean Monday, saying her actions caused the Miss California title to be "hijacked," preventing them from doing the necessary "work at hand." Moakler and Lewis appointed Prejean's runner up in the state pageant to be a "Beauty of California Ambassador" to fulfill any duties that Prejean could not... |
I just want to make this statement, since everyone is now making their political stances known:
I, Vincenzo, cannot with a clear concious allow myself to watch or be subjected to another story about this beauty pageant! I have dedicated far too much time to this topic. All these people making political stands on a stage of beauty totally detracts from any joy I might receive from viewing such a spectacle. While I am sure that ratings will be up next year because we just wont know which contestant will get submarined by a Perez Hilton question or perhaps he might just start calling them all Dumb $)@#*( as he addresses them in the questionaire time), I just cannot deal with the turmoil.
I thought about quitting my job too for my stance on gay marriage, but then I realized I like food too much and I decided to go in anyway. Honestly, I think that all the women should give up their crowns and standings from the pageant and we name Perez Hilton the victor and Miss USA with Donald Trump as runner up in case Perez cannot perform all his duties.

I didn't like her answer. She didn't have to say it that way. Perez was a total idiot but she didn't look smart. Now she has all the popularity from it so maybe she got what she wanted and she didn't even need the boob job.
The drama continues as Miss California has been fired!

Less than a month after being told by Donald Trump that she can keep her Miss California crown, Carrie Prejean is being fired, Foxnews.com has learned exclusively. K2 Productions, the independent producers of the Miss California USA pageant, under license from Miss Universe, cites continued breach of contract issues as the reason for Prejean's firing. The decision is revealed in documents obtained by FOXNews.com. "This was a business decision, based solely on contract violations," Keith Lewis, executive director of K2 Productions, said in the documents. "After our press conference in New York we had hoped we would be able to forge a better working relationship. However, since that time it has become abundantly clear that Carrie has no desire to fulfill her obligations under our contract and work together." |
She is not honoring the terms of her contract. According to FNC she has missed 30 appearances such as a radio show. She has backed out saying that she wants to decide where she throws her voice. I think the celebrity status she now has may be going to her head. It is alleged that she is probably going to pose for Playboy for US$140,000 and appear on a TV reality show. The former Miss California may go to court, but it is not certain yet.
