Perez Hilton is not the authority on why she lost. The person who won had been winning the whole time. He said that out of anger and to be mean. Her losing was not based solely on her answer (which for the 5th time I will point out did NOT answer the question Perez Hilton asked her to begin with!)

According to Perez, more NUDE pictures are on the way.

She sowed and now she's reapin', both the good-Christian film/commercial, and the bad- backlash from gay community and supporters. She appears to be trying to rise above it all, most likely her opening her fool mouth was the best thing that ever happened to her. We're still talking about her.

FWIW, PH wasn't the only judge who didn't like her answer.

And she didn't have to lie. It's possible to state your opinion in an eloquent way. She had absolutely no tact whatsoever. Her whole answer was basically word vomit.

And these pictures aren't magically surfacing because of her anti-gay tirade. There are many Miss --insert title here-- who had pictures from the past come back to haunt them.

I don't agree with the way PH responded to her (calling her names, etc) either, but that's not really the subject of this thread.

thedirty.com did say that they have more pictures that they will be publishing soon.

What's opposite marriage?

Seriously... If a girl wins Miss Cali, then wins Miss USA--there is a very high probability that she will be a major contender celebrity...

I have more to say... Let's just say that San Diego is NOT KNOWN to crank out too many Miss California's...

I don't see where her response lacked tact.
I think she did the best she could considering her views on the subject. Essentially if you expect someone to get up there and say something people want to hear, but which goes against their own beliefs, that constitutes a lie. They weren't asking her to be tactful. No matter how she worded it, if she didn't say that she was in favor of gay marriage, it was going to be held against her. I'm basing this on what PH said when he was talking to Larry King.

Perhaps. But at least one other judge disagreed with you.

After hearing the answer, [Alicia] Jacobs, a former Miss Nevada USA [and judge], writes on her blog, if I could have made her 51st runner-up, I would have." She goes on to say "I fault her [Miss Prejean] for her complete lack of social grace, and that's a quality I want my Miss USA to posses."

In her blog, Miss Jacobs alludes that other judges felt the same way. "Going into the finals, she was in 3rd place in swimsuit and 2nd place in the evening gown competition."

No... they didn't ask her to be tactful, however, I would imagine most people competing in the Miss USA pageant had at least one coach along the way that taught them how to word their answers that go beyond "world peace".

It's the "gay mafia".

And I'm glad!

Am I the only one who has had enough with this story?. While I think we all should "live and let live", I don't know why Perez Hilton and others who are in support of gay marriage has chosen to cruicify her for giving her opinion on a topic when she was asked about it DIRECTLY. Was she supposed to pander to those who asked the question or avoid the answer? It seems to be a bit much "punishment" for being truthful

This does not help the gay marriage "cause" one bit. They should tell Perez Hilton to sit down and take a pill!

I have heard some theories that the reason she was asked the question and is being crucified like this is because of what happened with Proposition 8 out in California. I would not be surprised if that indeed turned out to be true. I haven't done any other research, but my understanding is that she was the only one who was asked this question and if that is true, I don't think it was a coincidence that SHE was the one asked.

As far as those who feel she didn't answer the question directly, I guess I don't see why people feel that way. I thought the question was how she felt about gay marriage or whether she supported it and she basically said no.

For the millionth time- she was NEVER asked her opinion of gay marriage at ANY point during the question Perez Hilton asked. Can someone please post the entire question again please?

The question was whether or not every state should legalize gay marriage, right?

Based on the question that was posted, it DOES in fact appear she was asked her opinion on gay marriage.

I don't know how you seem to think that he was asking for her opinion on gay marriage.

Take the crown away from her already and let's be done with her!

And that's not asking her for HER opinion on the issue???

I only mean credibility as far as his position concerning her response at the pageant. There were many people who agreed with him that she was wrong in giving the response that she did. My point was that he turned many of those people off when he started calling her names, especially since she appeared to be handling the situation in a more dignified manner.
