Tiara Too Heavy For Carrie Prejean?

It looks like Carrie Prejean, 2009’s winner of Miss California and first runner up in the Miss USA 2009 pageant, is going to have more to worry about than polishing her tiara. Rumors swirled after she gave a less than desired answer to the highly publicized contest question regarding her views on gay marriage.Perez Hilton, a judge on the Miss USA panel as well as a gay rights advocate, asked Ms. Prejean what her stance was on the legalization of same-sex marriage and received this reply,“Well I think it’s great that Americans are able to choose one way or the other. We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage. You know what, in my country, in my family, I do believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman, no offense to anybody out there. But that’s how I was raised and I believe that it should be between a man and a woman.”Absolutely appalled, Hilton (whose real name is Mario Armando Lavandeira) took to his famed blog, www.perezhilton.com stating that Ms. Prejean was a “dumb bi***” and that her awful, alienating answer was the worst in Miss USA history. He went on to add that she went about the situation incorrectly and should have given a more thought out response that could portray her views in a less offensive light. Hilton also said that it was this mistake that had cost her the crown. More scandals followed, including a few partially nude pictures questioning the values of the self proclaimed Christian model, and a series of leaked text messages that portrayed Prejean as both pushy and ungrateful. Though Donald Trump, who owns a large percent of Miss Universe, supported her initially, both he and K2 Productions, the company that produces the Miss California pageants, made the joint decision that Prejean should be stripped of her crown early due to a “breach of contract”.Check back as the controversy unfolds, and take a look at the Miss USA and Miss Universe contestants that were seen wearing Aegean Apparel Specially Monogramed Bathrobes in our press section!
