Carrie Prejean retains Miss California crown! Tami Farrell gets her own!
Move over, Carrie Prejean! Runner-up Tami Farrell has been named the new "Beauty of California ambassador"!
The Miss California USA pageant heads held a press conference at the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills this morning over the current Miss California debacle.
Of Carrie "Controversy" Prejean, Shanna Moakler, co-executive director of the Miss California USA pageant, stated, "She entered the contest under false pretense," adding, "Accepting the title comes with the responsibility to represent everyone in her state, not just those who share her opinion."
Apparently, Miss Prejean doesn't even speak to the California officials any longer. In fact, according to the pageant peeps, she's surrounded by "handlers" and advisers" who don't communicate with them about Carrie.
The officials claim that Carrie is no longer doing Miss California events and has not made herself available to them.
So the powers that be have chosen Miss Malibu, Tami Farrell, the 2009 Miss California first runner-up, to be the new Beauty of California ambassador. (Technically, Carrie Prejean is still Miss California -- only Donald Trump has the power to remove the crown).
Frankly, we can't really tell the difference between these two California girls.
Let's hope Tami's reign will be a peaceful and loving one. Wonder what Donald Trump will announce in his press conference tomorrow?
What do you think of the decision? What do you hope the Donald does?

Carrie wins; it's over.
And the farcicial shenanigans of scandalous Keith Lewis (ask Christina Silva, who sued Lewis and the organization on grounds of pageant rigging and racial bias) and Playboy playmate Shanna Moakler (nice having Shanna trying to make moral judgments on anyone) have set back the gay marriage movement substantially.
This was an atrocious witch hunt which began with Perez Hilton's loaded question and his score of 0 which cost Carrie her rightful Miss USA crown.
Justice has been done here, and the only thing that Trump should announce tomorrow is that Lewis and Moakler are "fired" from the Miss California panel for there pathetic, agenda-driven inanity. They have shamed themselves, the Miss California pageant and Trump's name for being associated with them.
Gay marriage is a serious matter. Let's hope that Keith Lewis,' Shanna Moakler's and Perez Hilton's juvenile stunts don't ruin the chances of the issue getting its fair discussion in the public.
Because if a similar measure to Prop 8 passes in 2010, I think many will be laying the blame on the above mention trio's idiotic meddling.
Carrie should not communicate with these buffoons any longer. They have precluded that from occurring with their deceitful, shameful ploy.
Congratulations, Carrie -- you have beaten the forces of bigotry and all Californians -- not just the majority which are with you on Prop 8 -- thank and cherish you. Looking forward to them making a "Carrie Prejean Day" in San Diego or thereabouts.
Prejean is thumbing her nose at the Miss California officials... the ones who paid for her breast implants, remember?
The issue here isn't her opinion on gay marriage, or her topless photos; the issue is that she's got responsibilities as Miss California that she's just blowing off. Failing to show up for appearances is a big no-no.
She is biting the hand that feeds her and telling young girls everywhere that it's fine to be irresponsible. She definitely deserves to lose her title but I doubt Trump will let her go.
This just goes to show what an absolute JOKE the Miss USA organization really is.
"Apparently, Miss Prejean doesn't even speak to the California officials any longer."
And why should she? Those same officials repeatedy trash her right after the pageant and has continue to do so, while acting like they care about her by blasting conservatives for supposedly exploiting her (which is dishonest given conservatives came to her defense against her attackers who wanted to exploit her themselves to get her to see things their way and do things their way on gay marriage issue).
If anything by them attacking her and probably outing her on breast implants and the supposedly nude pictures (which are no more nude than SI covers, which no one these day say are nudes)., it could be said Lewis, Moakler, etc., far more blatantly breach the deal then she. After all she would not have had to go into interviews to defend herself if they had not try to attack and publically humiliate her.
And they don't have much of a higher moral ground either to claim she lie (if they truly believe she was nude in those pictures, which is debatable given other folks in those types of photos hardly ever been considered nude these days).
Either they are lying now about her answer having nothing to do with her loss, or they, especially Moakler and Hilton, are lying earlier when they said she lost because they did not like her answer.
FIRST OF ALL: This is NOT an issue of civil rights, its a moral and ethical issue based on Liberty; and it is that gay (*#@*%*) judge that is interfering with our right to pursue HAPPINESS. We just want to get away from something that is stinky, disgusting, and immoral. We oppose that gay judge attacking our beautiful women, our values, and making us unhappy with exposure to his disgusting immoral sewage. Now, Just in case Donald Trump decides against Carrie Prejean, this should be our response: Carrie's RIGHT to support the (NOM) and marriage between a man and a woman is based on the Declaration Of Independence (that the USA is founded upon), which states that "We The People" have the inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the [[ PURSUIT ]] of [[ HAPPINESS ]]. In litigation thereafter, the U .S. Supreme Court declared in,( Loving v. Virginia (1967) 388 U.S. 1); that, the freedom to marry is recognized as a vital [[ PERSONAL RIGHT ]] essential to the pursuit of happiness. As a result, that gay judge has violated the liberty rights of Carrie Prejean by condemning her pursuit of happiness to marry a MAN. The (NOM) can file suit against that gay judge, who slandered Carrie Prejean, because of her support for traditional marriage and for her pursuit of traditional happiness; because, that gay judges slanderous attack is meant to destroy Carrie's career, and livelihood, because of her LAWFUL pursuit of happiness (Meyer v. Nebraska (1923) 262 US 390). You see, Carrie didn't attack him, he attacked and slandered Carrie because she rejected his pursuit of happiness, and this the way all of you gay rabid dogs are, you exist to give us a problem, where we have none.
ALl of theother issues are mute. What is the only one that matters right now is the fact that she is not even available to be Miss California USA. Trump should dump.
Why don't they just arrest her for child pornography and be done with it?
@ Joshua "gay rabid dogs". Wow. Stay classy dude.
If there can only be one answer to the question answered....why asked it? This sounds so "communist". After living in this country for years, I realize Americans not as narrow minded and intolerant as they claim to be. Just like this financial crises, the government lied and manipuated...We used to think of Americans as the smart, intelligent, open minded, big heart....not anymore, the society is full of hypocrisy....the rich get richer, all they care is the superficial glamour. Americans like to go around judging the world but can't accept even a little difference of opinion of a young contestant's polite honest personal answer? Eventually people will realize the Emperor has no clothes. Just like the Romans, this country will not be the leader sooner or later
" the way all of you gay rabid dogs are, you exist to give us a problem, where we have none."
Sounds like you have an anger problem, Josh. And who are you to talk about slander when you say things like that? Are you without sin? (Clearly not.)
Miss Malibu looks lovely and though I do not think any "Miss CA" is actually representing CA at all, I don't mind her filling in for Miss Prejean. It's all fluff; most people do not know who the current Miss USA or Miss [insert state here] is unless there is some sort of controversy anyway.
Child pornography refers to images or films depicting sexually explicit activities involving a child; as such, child pornography is a visual record of child sexual abuse.[1][2][3][4][5][6] Abuse of the child occurs during the sexual acts which are photographed in the production of child pornography,[1][2][4][5][6][7][8] and the effects of the abuse on the child (and continuing into maturity) are compounded by the wide distribution and lasting availability of the photographs of the abuse.[6][7][9] In both common usage and for research purposes, the word "child" in the phrase "child pornography" refers to prepubescent children, and does not refer to post-puberty teenagers. However, legal definitions of child pornography generally refer to a wider range of material, including any pornography involving a minor, or in some cases non-abusive acts involving participants over the age of consent, or fictional images, according to jurisdiction.
Didn't they arrest another teenager this year for nude pictures?
