Miss California USA co-directors Shannon Moakler and Keith Lewis will hold a news conference Monday to announce Carrie Prejean's fate.
Officials are reportedly in talks with the beauty queen's camp about losing her coveted tiara over possible contract violations as a result of public appearances supporting opponents of same-sex marriage.
Not to mention those revealing sexy underwear photos taken when she was a teen that she failed to divulge.
Interestingly, Tami Farrell, the first runner-up in the Miss California contest, will reportedly be at Monday's news conference. Will she be ready to step in and grab that crown?
The following day, Tuesday, Donald Trump, co-owner of the Miss Universe Organization, will also hold a news conference in New York to discuss the beauty queen scandal.
He will reportedly decide whether Prejean will be stripped of her title as first runner-up in this year's Miss USA pageant.
Poor Carrie. All her years of swimsuit competitions could all come crumbling down.
What do you think about all this?

Carrie's honesty in speaking about her views on gay marriage aside, it is not Miss California's job to trumpet her own personal beliefs, it is her job to represent all of the people of California and in this she failed miserably.
Secondly, modeling lingerie or posing for for Penthouse, semi-nude is semi-nude. She lied about, first by omission and then by comission when she repeatedly denied the photo's existence, then she tried to explain them away by definition ... give it up.
Thirdly she violated the terms of her contract in her accepting appearences that had not be cleared and in supporting, publically a group without permissions.
Regardless of how you might feel about her "honestly" in articulating her own personal beliefs, she screwed up.
Sorry Carrie, move out of the way and turn over the crown and maybe in the process learn a little about life and honesty

No wonder the LA Times and other newspapers are in decline. In this and other opinions the superior attitude towards those of whom you disagree offends your very customer base. Could any other business expect to to succeed if they treat customers with disdain? Keep in mind that the majority of Californians and President Obama are in agreement with Prejean.

She will end up with a soft porn career just like Jessica Hahn after the Jim Baker scandal, Paula Jones after the clinton scandal to name a couple. A fitting end for her and her hypocritical double talk about her purity and belief in the bible.

After all the years and all the pageants she no doubt participated in to make it to this level of competition, it's hard to believe that Ms. Prejean, somewhere along the way, didn't learn this very important lesson: answer questions in the most middle of the road, non-imflammatory way possible. She chose instead to "stand up for her beliefs"....great, but take the consequences for that decision. It's time for Carrie to return to the OC and blame her failure on everyone but her.

Its ok for a beauty queen to be a drunk and sex maniac and a drug user that has to go top rehab or one that does a topless photot shoot holding her boobs in her hands (NJ) but oh man when one says someting about the bible and belives as a majority of the americans do that being queer is being queer being a repectful family means marriage between a Man and Woman oh that brings every gay out of the closets .They should all be sent to another country if they don't like it I could care less.

Why should she care. She spoke her opinion from her heart and her moral upbringing and they crucified her. If I was her I wouldn't want to belong to an organization run by unAmerican hypocrits. Leave Cali while you still can Carrie. Leave the nice gay people alone. They don't believe in Freedom of Speech.

Posted by: Alan Osmond May 09, 2009 at 03:45 PM
This doesn't surprise me. It saddens me, but I am not surprised. The gay lobbyists/militants are great at putting social pressure on influential people. After all, who wants to be fired, or which ‘celebrity’ (broadly conceived) wants their reputation (not to mention all the perks that come with it!) smeared by reports of moral or ideological 'imperialism,' or worst of all 'close-minded bigotry.' Most people have worked too hard to get to where they are to let that happen. But too bad ‘imperialism’ goes both ways. Just look at the gay rights groups—they will stop at nothing short of full on acceptance, never mind mere toleration. But what is the difference between the LGBT community’s “accept us or else” slogan and the Abrahamic Faiths’ “think like us or else”? Both require lasting (and for some radical) changes in individual belief structures and moral intuitions, and both are often forced upon those to whom they are preached by various means of social coercion (or worse). But what happened to intellectual freedom and freedom of moral conscience? Minds should be changed if at all by THINKING, not by threatening! Convince people, persuade them with arguments and syllogisms, but for goodness sakes don’t threaten them with social tortures to believe or else! What is interesting is that while the social pressure employed to change minds in regard to religious and moral dogmas is lessening as the years go by and as tolerance mounts worldwide—if you don’t think so just imagine the various skirmishes during Europe’s Protestant Reformation between Zwingli and the Anabaptists or Calvin and the Unitarians!—the exact opposite is occurring with regard LGBT dogmas. What Carrie Prejean said would have been fairly non-controversial back in 1996 when DOMA (a federal law restricting marriage to heterosexual unions) was passed by more than a 3/4ths vote in a Democratically controlled Congress and was signed into law by Bill Clinton. Thirteen years later however, it is outright ‘heresy’ (note—for the less perceptive readers—the connection between ‘heresy’ used here and the passing reference to merciless persecutions by Zwingli and Calvin above) to the sensibilities of the ‘ruling elite’ (or at least those who rule them) to say what she said, and is to be punished with ‘excommunication’ and ostrasization. I guess human intolerance never really goes away but changes directions like the wind. But what is driving this ‘wind’ and do we like where it’s blowing? If it seeks to restrict public expressions of intellectual freedom and freedom of moral conscience (the ‘where it’s heading’), I’m afraid I do know what is driving it, and it is just more of the same: intolerance.

This is taken from the discussion on the "Miss USA" wedsite.
If the Miss USA pageant becomes seen as the gay pageant, run by gay activists, that choose gay men to judge female beauty (or maybe just how much they like their answers) -- and that design questions to promote a gay, aggressive, and unpopular political agenda -- and that uses beauty queens for the No on 8 campaign, the Miss USA pageant is finished.
The public won't understand that Miss California was fired for photo(s) that show less than the bikinis they wear in the pageant -- by a Playboy bunny!
They will understand she was fired for expressing her opinion honestly and straightforwardly.
The directors spoke out against Miss Prejean's answer. We *know* who asked Carrie Jean for *her* opinion, and *she* was expected to give it. Were the *directors* expected to give their *critique* of her opinion? Disclosing her boob job was hitting below the belt. Most would prefer that to be kept private. Miss USA directors destroy contestants?
Every article will point out that she will have been fired by a Playboy bunny and gay activist. Many will imply that she was fired for giving an honest answer that intolerant gay activists hated.
You can line up the facts however you want. The reporters will line them up to sell their product.
(Try to say you fired her for lying. Will everyone that's never lied please raise their hands?)
Most readers share will Miss Prejean's opinion. Most of your potential viewers will too. Good luck with the Nielsen ratings after that. I can see the headlines after that: Miss USA Pageant: You're Fired.
I'm sure the reporters will remember how Trump likes controvery to promote Miss USA pageants. Keep stretching this one out. We'll see how that works out for you. Will the public approve of beautiful, 21-year-old Carrie Prejean's vilification, one that the directors took part in? *This* controversy is casting a pall over the pageant. Why have judges? Why not just let the directors choose the winner, if that's what they're going to do anyway?
Posted by: ES165 May 09, 2009 at 04:27 PM
You right wing Christians kill me. We never said Carrie didn't have freedom of speech.....just we didn't like her speech...which we all have the the right to do in America. We can express our opinions...like it or not.
At the same time, you want to deny us of equal rights for marriage because you think it is not biblically correct. Whatever happened to freedom from religion when you make those statements of freedom of speech?
How many Supreme Court rulings will it take to convince you that denying gays right to marriage violates our rights as citizens?
I do think the name calling idiots out there on BOTH sides is sad...but this is America and they have the right to be that way.
Finally, the lack of a strong political spokesman for the NOM is very revealing. Forced to put Carrie and Marion Barry out as their primary spokesmen/women is very telling. What does that tell you? When will they cry uncle?
Posted by: Mark May 09, 2009 at 04:29 PM
Keith Lewis and Shanna Moakler are both jokes. Just ask the girl who sued Lewis, Christina Silva. She alleged contest rigging and racial bias when she won, then lost, the Miss CA crown.
Moakler posed for Playboy, and now she wants to play moralist on a girl's modeling portfolio?
Ha ha ha.
Weak stuff, just like Perez' and Miss Uni's try to stop National Organization For Marriage's "No Offense" ad on false copyright claims. The ad is back up on YouTube, as anyone with any understanding of copyright law knew it would be. Liz, you may want to fix your post on that subject.
If Lewis wants to harm the gay marriage cause in California with some Stalinist tactics, let him and his cabal. No one knows who Miss USA is, nor will they know who Miss CA 1st runner up is.
Everyone knows who Prejean is, and if they make her a martyr on such baseless grounds, it will only get worse for Keith, Perez and the rest.
Sad stuff.

It is wrong to be persecuted for something you believe. That's the very reasons why America was established to begin with.
To aggravate someone over their believes on marriage is no better than someone being derogatory to a homosexual because of their sexual orientation.
If you don't represent yourself, you can't represent America. That's all there is to that.

Two other quick things:
Miss Rhode Island has topless photos as well -- worse ones than Prejean's and posted in Maxim of all places. HUGE problem for Lewis, Moakler and the rest. Doesn't matter what the process is, the public will go nuts on this point and Prejean's being persecuted on what seems as totally arbitrary grounds if the Miss CA cabal tries to strip her.
Secondly, a Quinnipiac poll just recently came out with 55% of respondents (vs 33%) saying they would oppose a gay marriage amendment being passed in their state.
You couple that with the Prop 8 majority in California, and if gay activist Keith Lewis and his cabal tries to go through with this, especially when Trump will almost certainly rebuke such a decision just a day later, and Keith Lewis could do more harm to the gay marriage cause than any one person in recent memory.
There will be outrage, and Keith Lewis and his K2 Promotions could very well be looking for work as Lewis, and Moakler, get bounced as Miss California Co-Executive Directors.
Both already come with a TON of baggage, and this could be the death knell for their stewardship of the pageant.
Let's hope cooler heads prevail and Lewis and Moakler choose a rational course.
