I realize that Perez took her response personally, and that he's got some media influence, but for him to actually "dig for dirt" on Miss CA (in an attempt to strip her of her crown) is taking this whole thing too far. He needs to grow up and get over himself.

I would agree. He was on I think Rachel Maddow and said that he in fact is "not sorry for calling her a b word" and should have "called her a c word." Seriously Perez?

Exactly.

PH: Vermont recently became the fourth state to legalize same sex marriage. Do you think every state should follow suit? Why or why not?"

Or something like that. Particularly to be from here (CA) and not have an answer for that question in your back pocket??? She's an idiot.

I agree.

I, of course, was totally pulling for AZ. I was just thrilled that she made it beyond the first 15, but to make it to the final 5, well AZ hasn't done that in the years that I've religiously watched the pageants. LOL.

Her answer though was dumb, nothing to do with the question. But I told my mom, that that is how all the contestants (minus USA) answer the final question in the Miss Universe pageant, so maybe it would work for her.

I'm still bummed she didn't win. I liked NC though. I hated CA, so I'm bummed that she is 1st runner and AZ is 2nd runner. CA just seemed very fake and snobby to me.

saw the clip on perez hilton's site and he said the best answer she could have given was that it was a state issue and that each state should be left to decide.

Were the politcally inclined questions included this year to boost ratings and interest? (which if it was, it worked apparently...

)

Seriously, the Miss USA pageant is what it is....a pageant. I hope going forward they stick with the "traditional" HRPL focus

Judging by the attention this has caused, I doubt it though.

..and I didn't care for CA either. I agree that she did come across as too "something"..

Most all of the questions (I only missed one I think? ) were political - should we have universal health care, should we bail out companies etc.

If you are looking for more interviews, check out Perez Hilton's website.

I think she's just saving face when she says she wouldn't change what she said. And in all the interviews she says the same thing: "He asked me for an opinion so I gave it to him", and "I've received over 4000 Facebook friend requests"

OPPOSITE MARRIAGE?! Seriously?

Oh and did you know that we live in a country where we can "choose opposite marriage?"

Last I checked, "opposite marriage" was not permitted in 46 states.

And for the record, wouldn't "opposite marriage" mean single anyway? LOL

If she gives up her title (the Miss CA title) because of him, she needs to be smacked and hard. He's a nobody. It's not like she has some influential political figure hot on her tail.....just a gossip blogger. I would tell him to KMA and keep it moving.

And seriously, all of this just taked away from Miss NC - who should be the one getting all the attention right now.

I agree with both of you - Perez Hilton is a wannabe, and Donald Trump is probably chortling gleefully!

As far as Greeks:

Miss Texas is a member of Zeta Tau Alpha (someone already mentioned this) and was pinned as a sweetheart of Sigma Nu Fraternity at their 2008 National Convention.

Miss Virginia is a member of Alpha Omicron Pi
Miss Louisana is a member of Chi Omega

those are all I know of so far

I can't believe the crappy quality of the judges they had this year! I'm all for business execs and former beauty queens being judges, but Kelly Monaco (a "stripper"), Kenan Thompson (nice of him to wear his "good" hoodie for the live telecast), and Perez Hilton (some bitchtastic gossip blogger)?

Oh, wait. This is a Donald Trump production. Never mind.
