It would seem that Donald Trump is a fan of semi-nude, topless photos taken by his beauty queens because he has just announced in a live press conference that Carrie Prejean WILL keep her Miss California USA crown since, in his judgment, we live in “the 21st century” and, apparently, topless pics of beauty queens are “lovely” and “fine”:
Donald Trump will let Miss California USA Carrie Prejean keep her title despite controversy over semi-nude photos and charges by state pageant officials that she had abandoned her duties to devote time to opposition to same-sex marriage. “We’re in the 21st century,” Trump said, explaining Prejean is a model.
And there you have it. I suspect, barring the release of any new photos, this may be the last we’ll be hearing about Prejean possibly losing her crown. Now she can go back to the biz of taking care of her Miss California USA duties which, supposedly, center on advocating the needs of people with Special Needs. I guess we’ll have to wait and see if that will actually be the case.

Whoever is arguing over the Clinton administration… seriously, just stop please. That was almost A DECADE ago. Are you going to go through history and bring up examples of everything you can that may even SLIGHTLY relate to this Carrie Prejean scandal? Politics and this scandal are not relateable, stop trying to make them be. People only bring up politics to stir up more trouble, because then they can blatantly point figures at a group of people (Liberals and Conservatives).
And yes, we DO care that she violated her contract because it completely shows that the pagaent is not about morals anymore. If she violated a rule, she deserves to lose the crown. THAT’S why it matters. Not because it “wouldn’t be such a big deal if she hadn’t made her earlier statements” or whatever was said. Someone breaks the rules, someone should get punished for it. But not Ms. Prejean because she showed Donald Trump pictures of her tits, so she gets a get-out-of-jail free card. That’s sexist and unfair.
Also, this girl just disgusts me because she tries to come off as a sweet, innocent Christian who says she cares SO MUCH about maintaining her Christianity and her Christian views, but it is obvious that behind closed doors she is as sinful as the rest of us. She let the pagaent give her money for a boob job – altering God’s temple doesn’t seem very Christian-like to me, showing off your goods doesn’t seem very Christian-like to me. I’m not a Christian but I understand the religion and I understand that many people who consider themselves one like to “have their cake and eat it too.” Any Christian that you see pose nude or scantily clad or anything will argue that they’re not doing anything sinful, because that’s what makes them feel better about it. You can’t just pick and choose what parts of the religion you want to follow. Prejean disgusts me because she is such a phony, phony little liar, and is obviously shallow. She pretends she’s so innocent, and that is just pathetic to me. Be real, don’t be fake. Then you may deserve the crown.
This is sending out a message to all those who keep track of the pagaent – it’s okay if you f*ck up, lie, have a drug track record, or sell your body, as long as you’re hot and give Trump something to get his jollies off, you’ll get away with anything! It’s just not fair for those who have actually lived clean, good-hearted lives.
Janey, your hypocracy cracks me up! Did you realize you were contradicting yourself when you wrote this?
“It makes you narrow minded, hateful, and hypocritical. So just shut the hell up. If you have a problem, write her a freaking letter, instead of talking irrelevant shit on a website.”
Krissy,
Note: I don’t have the problem with her. I have a problem with the people on here who are rambling incoherently about how horrible of a person Miss California is. I don’t have a problem with the girl. If I DID have an issue with HER, I would take my own advice and write HER a letter. Seeing as I do not, I made my thoughts known to those I have the issue with, thus NOT making myself a hypocrite.
You don’t think that telling others to “shut the hell up” is hateful? You don’t think that you yourself are talking irrelevant stuff on a website?
It is interesting how people can be so passionate about defending a person in regards to a silly contest, and on the other hand can be so frivilous when it comes to denying citizens of the United States fundamental civil rights that actually have serious life altering consequences.
I really don’t think its right for her to keep the crown. I mean she’s in the same position as one Ms. Vanessa Williams who didn’t get to keep her crown. I don’t think it should be a fact that she doesn’t believe in equal rights, I however feel that EVERYONE should have the right to marry who that would like to.
No one should be allowed to tell someone that they can not be with the ones they love. Being that there are so many affairs happening now a days, in straight marriages.
The reason that she should lose her crown is because A. her semi-topless pictures and B. The fact that she hasn’t been doing any of the duties that are asked of her from the Calli department.
(Sorry for the book I wrote)
I think it’s kind of hilarious that people care about a beauty queen posing topless… so in the swimsuit competition there’s an extra two inches of fabric on her, how much better is it really? I guess she can only be sexual when we want her to be. Even if people are convinced that really what they’re outraged about is the lying… if you’re looking to Miss California to be your beacon of morality, I think you’re the one with a problem. People lie all the time, it’s not worth getting upset over.
I also think it’s hilarious that people think freedom of speech = freedom to say whatever you want without anyone challenging you. She can say what she thinks on gay marriage and no one’s gonna throw her jail, but I can exercise my free speech too and call her a bigot. It’s not hypocritical. It’s all of us stating our opinions freely.
I’m sorry, didn’t someone WIN the Miss USA pageant? Oh that’s right it WASN’T Miss California, it was Miss North Carolina. Why are we still talking about Miss California? The girl had an opinion, I don’t agree with it, but she has a right to say what she wants. If she hadn’t been against gay marriage, she probably would have won and no one would ever think of her again. But instead, people who completely disagreed with her have tried to destroy her by getting these pictures out there, extending her 15 minutes of fame.
She wouldn’t have won no matter what her answer. The woman who won also won the gown and swimsuit competitions. Miss North Carolina was already in a distant lead before “the question”. :)
Haha. “The question”. Thanks for the info. I’m just tired of hearing about Miss California USA. :-)
AT THE END OF THE DAY, OTHERS HAVE SPECIFICALLY LOST THEIR CROWN BECAUSE OF COMPROMISING PHOTOS…SHE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN AN EXCEPTION 21 ST CENTURY OR NOT. ALSO, SHE CLEARLY LIED ABOUT BEING 17 WHEN THEY WERE TAKEN SO THEY WOULD NOT BE LEAKED FOR FEAR OF THEM BEING “CHILD PORNOGRAPHY” YET SHE POSED FOR THEM TO BEGIN WITH AT “17″. IF SHE HADNT ANSWERED THAT QUESTION THAT WAY, WE’D STILL HAVE TO HEAR ABOUT HER PICS AND HER LIES. IF OTHERS ARE IN FACT MORE DESERVING OF THE CROWN, THEN GIVE IT TO THEM. PAGENT GIRLS WORK A GOOD PART OF THEIR LIVES TOWARD TRYING TO GET THAT CROWN AND USUALLY TRY AND SET THE BEST EXAMPLE, SHE IS CLEARLY NOT SOMEONE THAT I WOULD WANT MY DAUGHTER TO EMULATE. SO IN TURN, SHE ISN’T ENTIRELY QUALIFIED TO WEAR THE CROWN…SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN STRIPPED, PUN INTENDED
It makes me sick that this is the kind of crap that is getting put up with today – that my daughter is suppose to look up to a girl whose naked pictures are everywhere (and apparently that’s okay!) but thinks gay people shouldn’t be able to get married. GAG! It’s annoying, tragic and trashy – naked pictures are trashy. And it sucks that it’s made out to be okay. UGH! It just makes me sick that this is who kids are suppose to role model.
