Carrie Prejean

Summary: This article is about Perez Hilton criticizing Miss California Miss Prejean for an interview on Larry King where she is promoting her book. In the interview she says that people should never do what they wouldn't want there biggest fans to see. When Larry King asked her if she had any regrets she said that she regrets decisions that she made when she was a teenager and a sex-tape of her was made but she has no regrets relating to the beauty pageant.

Response: I think that people and the media were to mean to Carrie Prejean. To me it seems that she won the California pageant and than they rescinded the award for a political position and than made up an excuse to make it look like they're not politically biased. What interesting about the beauty pageant controversy is that in order to win you don't need to be smart or have good values, and now that there was a contestant with good values and who was willing to stick up for them she loses because of it. But to be fair if Miss Utah was a frontrunner is the Miss USA pageant and she was asked if she supports same-sex marriage and said yes we would probably get really mad and want to rescind her Miss Utah award, although the people at the Miss USA audience would cheer as if they were BYU fans at the end of that 2006 game against The University of Utah. This reminds me of a Simpsons episode where Marge is at some city meeting and she says something like she enjoys being a mother and everyone there boos her.

  1. I think it is so sad that people got so riled up over Miss California's response. She was just being honest and sticking up for her beliefs! People can't respect that? Unfortunately, they really can't. We live in a time where if you don't believe what the general population does, you are naive, immature, prejudice or bias.
