Carrie Prejean Will Keep Her Crown

carrie prejean keeps her title as miss california

Miss California Carrie Prejean can breathe a sigh of relief -- the once photographed partially stripped beauty queen won't be stripped of her title. During a press conference today, Donald Trump -- owner of the Miss USA organization -- announced that Prejean would keep her tiara.

Trump addressed the issue of Carrie posing topless for pictures that were leaked to the net. "We've reviewed the pictures very carefully... and we are in the 21st Century... we have determined that the pictures taken are fine," Donald explained. "So we've made a determination, that the pictures taken were acceptable, they were fine."

Prejean also defended both sets of topless photos that were released of her -- one set taken when she was a teenager, and another set taken two years ago. The first of the teenaged pix, she claims, were taken by a friend to submit to modeling agencies -- "for application rather than publication." The other two pictures, she claims, were "photoshopped."

The second set of skimpy pix showed Carrie near the beach, partially exposing her breasts for the camera. Prejean said that the pictures were taken for a surf magazine, and claimed her vest blew open for the camera because of the wind. She said she was "appalled" by the release of "an unauthorized and inappropriate image taken in between shots, on a windy day, which I was unaware of."

During the Miss USA pageant, Carrie sparked a war with Perez Hilton when she told him she didn't support gay marriage. When asked about her controversial answer and whether she thought it cost her the title of Miss USA, Carrie responded, "I can't give you an answer to that, I'm not sure, but I do know that there was a personal hidden agenda there, and I just gave my honest answer."

She also thanked fans and the Miss USA organization for support -- and God for the strength to stand by her convictions. "Thank God for testing me with this task... in giving me the strength to stand by my beliefs." Shanna Moakler, executive director of the Miss California organization agreed that some "miscommunication" was now "totally solved" after meeting in Trump's office.

When asked if Perez would be asked to judge the pageant again, the Donald replied, "I'd love to have him back."

Prejean also confirmed that while she "met for an hour" with the National Organization for Marriage, she would not be a spokesperson for them. "I'm not going to be speaking out against same sex marriage, I'm going to resume my duties as Miss California."

Dee - I don’t think I’d be looking towards ANY pageant for role-modeling. That responsibility has to come from the real people around your daughter, especially you and your husband. All the rest is just typical garbage that’s on TV, radio, mags, or ‘newspapers’.

YOU KNOW, AT ONE TIME i WORKED IN A HOSPITAL AND THE DOCTOR WOULD ASK THE GAY MEN IF THEY HAD STUCK ANY GERBILS UP THEIR RECTUMS. I QUESTION THE DOCTOR AS TO WHY HE WOULD AS GAY MEN THAT. HE TOLD ME THAT SOME GAY MEN BUY GERBILS AND THEY GET SEXUAL PLEASURE WHEN THEY STICK THE LITTLE CRITTER UP THEIR RECTUMS. THE GERBIL RUNS BACK AND FORTH TRYING TO GET OUT. SOME GAY MEN ARE CRUEL AND TWISTED. I WAS SHOCKED WHEN THE DOCTOR TOLD ME THAT.

HOW ABOUT ANIMAL CRUELTY THAT SOME OF THESE GAYS PRACTICE. HAS ANYBODY EVER THOUGHT ABOUT THAT? POOR LITTLE GERBILS, THE GERBILS ARE SOMETHING LIKE A HAMSTER.

GAYS ARE GROSS AND THEY PRACTICE THIS SICK MODE OF SEXUAL GRATIFICATION. THEY ARE MEAN AND NASTY.

HOW ABOUT ANIMAL CRUELTY TO THESE LITTLE GERBILS THAT ARE MEANT TO BE PETS…NOT TO BE STUCK UP SOMEBODYS RECTUM…..SICKOS….SICKOS….SICKOS….


- I WOULD RATHER SEE MISS PREJEAN IN RACY PIX THAN TO SEE LITTLE GERBILS SUFFER

Is this the type of representation the american people wants to put out there. Yes, she should give up the crown. This is no the role model I would like to have for my daughter. There is a place for everything and nudity is not on beauty competition. Give up the crown, you do not deserve it. Same rules should apply for everyone. No exceptions. Donald Trump, shouldhave more respect for what the competition represent or stay out of it.

Just becuase she voiced her opinion, which is exercising her FREEDOM OF SPEECH RIGHTS does not mean she should lose her crown! GET OVER IT GAYS she has a right to her opinion!

modern heretic - #1:Vanessa was like 25 yrs. ago,and morals, even from a pageant viewpoint, were a bit tighter - besides, and #2:Those photos were RACY, and MEANT to be racy; they were in a ‘gentlemen’s magazine’(That term always makes me laugh), they weren’t lingerie ads, and also had another woman w/ her, if I recall. Sidebar: If Ms. Prejean WERE black, or the v.williams thing was today, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING would be made of the (lingerie)photos. She probably would not even been asked that loaded question from poor azz hilton. Don’t try the ‘must be because’ stuff in this day and age.


- I'm so glad this was finally dealt with properly

Anyone remember how easily Vanessa Williams lost her title? Was it because she was black or because she failed to mentioned jezuz christ like little Miss 17 contributor to pedophilia? Bah, who cares, this pageant is nothing more than a future trophy wife contest for the donald. For him to claim that the pageant has been updated for the twenty-first century while spewing and endorsing B.C. illogical rhetoric, is a slap in the face to progress, but hey, I guess theres a long line to get into the illusion of a promised land and people will do and say anything to get there. That’s morality for you.

Carrie prejean can ask forgiveness from God and God will forgive her.

What can GAYS ask of God? Forgive us GOD because we are GAY, but we will continue to despise you God and will continue to live in sin….Pure Sodom and Gomorah.

God made Adam and Eve to go and procreate….God did not make 2 men or 2 women. I don’t know that much of the bible , I do know what is right and what is wrong in God’s eyes. I don’t even go to church…..I do believe their is a God and he will judge everyone. we can all turn from the error of our ways….gays conintue to do wrong in the site of God…they don’t turn from the error in their ways. call me a bible thumper,,,,I don’t care….I make things right with God everyday…..that much I do know..

As a dog returns to it’s vomit….the gays do the same thing….they return to their evil ways.

I am for Carrie Prejean and it’s about time someone is not afraid to speak their mind and taking a stance for millions of Americans that believe the same way.

Hi Carrie,

I just saw you news conference and I would like to say GOD BLESS YOU for standing up for your Godly beliefs and for not compromising for anyone or anything. You will get your reward in heaven.

Also, being a graphic designer myself, I know that photos can be altered and even if the photos weren’t altered I still stand behind you being a Christian myself because none of us are perfect and we all make mistakes.

Your speech brought me to tears and I am so proud of you. You are absolutely right, you’re a stronger woman than yesterday and so am I.

Blessings to you,

Caz

Good For Donald!! Nice to know SOME people in this country has the balls to stand up and do the right thing! And don’t get me wrong, while I do not support gay marriage I am NOT a gay basher!! I say it’s in the hands of God, not man to judge! It’s a shame the ACLU didn’t have the balls to defend Carrie’s right to “Free Speech”. But I guess they only defend “Free Speech” if it entails extreme hatred toward Christians and Republicans. And what about the skanks at N.O.W? Where were those air-headed losers? Couldn’t find a connecting broom flight to get them to CA in time to defend Carrie’s Freedom to “CHOOSE” what she believes in? Funny how the PRESIDENT and the SECRETARY OF STATE said those EXACT same things and no one is going after them with a vengeance! can we say H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-S-Y?!!! But I guess the leftist half-wits only consider it hypocrisy if it’s something done by the right!

I’m in complete SHOCK that Trump didn’t actually FOLD under that cloud of extreme liberal NONSENSE!!

And I’m more happy that the gay community once again gets it tossed in their face that what they PREACH is “acceptance”.. and this was just ONE example of having NONE for opposing views!! Perez Hilton has attempted at all cost to degrade, humiliate, and shame this girl for her OWN belief system!! She has absolutely NOTHING to be ashamed of. The bias liberal media only “portrays” America as a whole with the “accepting views of gay marriage”… when the simple fact is, America by LARGER MAJORITY (state of california just an example) DOES NOT accept “gay marriage” as an alternative lifestyle. No one will ever STOP someone from being gay- but we certainly have NO REASON WHAT-SO-EVER to RE-WRITE the law books on Marriage under the pretense of having “unequal rights”!! It’s ludicris!

I’m actually surprised at Donalds view, and delighted he didn’t cave to EXTREMISTS on this issue! So far as her OLD photos, how many stupid things did we ALL do as teenagers?? We learn as we grow, and hopefully- we GROW IN GOD?!!


- Shocked and PLEASANTLY surprised!?

FIRST OF ALL, extra, T-H-E-R-E W-A-S N-O C-O-N-T-R-O-V-E-R-S-I-A-L A-N-S-W-E-R!!!!!!!!!!!!! (actually, the question was BS) Anyway, GREAT JOB USING YOUR BRAIN, Donald Trump!!!FINALLY, SOMETHING MAKES SENSE. I and so many others are entirely SICK TO DEATH of the double-standard, yet one-sided, so-called ‘liberal’ (lol),trouble makers crying over ONLY that which is important to them. If she said she was against God, or the president,(well, maybe not now since it’s celebrity time at the white house, but, normally)or values, those same ‘people’ would be celebrating her.
