Miss California Carrie Prejean Versus Perez Hilton
At the Miss USA pageant on Sunday Miss California Carrie Prejean was called a b!tch by Perez Hilton after she answered his question about gay marriage honestly, and based on HER beliefs. Intolerant of people who don’t agree with him Perez got so angry he made a video calling Prejean the b word, and said he would have gone up on stage if she won, and snatched her crown off her head, then he would have run out the door. Well, a gay activist that was in the audience actually got into a fight with Miss New Mexico’s mother in the hallway after the show. Lately, gays who aren’t getting their way are showing no class, and resorting to breaking the law to get their way, which isn’t unusual.
HG completely respects Prejean for saying what SHE believes. No one should try to blackmail anyone into saying a scripted answer with the threat of losing the pageant, but that’s what happened. We support freedom of speech 100%. We support Prejean, not gay fascists like Hilton.
The controversy today is that Miss California, who was the front runner going into the Miss USA pageant, became the first runner up, losing to Miss North Carolina Kristen Dalton, all because her beliefs were not consistent with the gays who organized the pageant.
Here’s what was said:
Hilton: "Vermont recently became the fourth state to legalize same-sex marriage. Do you think every state should follow suit? Why or why not?"
Prejean: "I think it’s great that Americans are able to choose one or the other. We live in a land that you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage and, you know what, in my country and my family I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anyone out there but that’s how I was raised and that’s how I think it should be between a man and a woman."
Hilton video blogged in part: "She gave the worst answer in pageant history. She got booed. I think that was the first time in Miss USA EVER that a contestant has been booed … She lost not because she doesn’t believe in gay marriage. Miss California lost because she’s a dumb b!tch."
Keith Lewis, who runs the Miss California competition, said that he was "saddened" by Prejean’s statement:
"As co-director of the Miss California USA, I am personally saddened and hurt that Miss California believes marriage rights belong only to a man and a woman. I believe all religions should be able to ordain what unions they see fit. I do not believe our government should be able to discriminate against anyone and religious beliefs have no politics in the Miss California family."
Prejean said she is happy with the answer she gave, and she should be. Prejean’s beliefs should be respected, even by those that disagree with them.
Miss California’s answer sparked a shouting match in the lobby after the show. "It’s ugly," said Scott Ihrig, a gay man, who attended the pageant with his partner. "I think it’s ridiculous that she got first runner-up. That is not the value of 95 percent of the people in this audience. Look around this audience and tell me how many gay men there are."
How does Ihrig know what 95% of the people thought in the audience, did he take a poll, or is it impossible for him to see past his own narrow minded views? We think the latter.
Charmaine Koonce, the mother of Miss New Mexico USA Bianca Matamoros-Koonce, argued back:
"In the Bible it says marriage is between Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve!"
That’s a fact. The bible can’t be rewritten. We still respect differing opinions, even Ihrig’s, when he’s not shouting in a person’s face who disagrees with him. We prefer civil debate.
Prejean showed incredible class, and we are so happy to see someone stand for what they believe in, even when others try to intimidate them to change their view. The gays attacking Prejean and Miss New Mexico’s mother are thugs and gay fascists.
The majority of California voters support Prejean, which is why Proposition 8 passed defining marriage as between a man and a woman, not a bat and a pig, or other combinations.
Miss USA Crystle Stewart Slips and Falls at Miss Universe 2008
At the 2008 Miss Universe competition Sunday in Vietnam, Miss USA Crystle Stewart from Texas slipped and FELL!
Last year in May of 2007 Miss USA Rachel Smith also slipped and fell at the Miss Universe pageant. Click here to see that video.
Smith got right back up without missing a beat, but Stewart actually started clapping. People do weird things when they’re under pressure.
Miss Venezuela Dayana Mendoza was crowned Miss Universe 2008. (Pictured below)

It would have been much better if her dress tore apart when she stepped on it and boobies went everywhere...hooray.
Criss Angel Went Crazy at Miss USA

Criss Angel when crazy at the Miss USA pageant after his girlfriend Miss Nevada Veronica Grabowski was eliminated from the competition. Criss was particularly upset with Vegas Confidential columnist Norm Clarke who wrote the following:
Shortly after Grabowski was eliminated, Angel was seen flashing a middle finger during a NBC telecast when a roving cameraman attempted a celebrity-in-the-crowd shot at Planet Hollywood Resort’s main theater.
Angel was still fuming after the pageant when he threatened this columnist in an F-bomb-laced tirade that ended with Angel, after being restrained, saying, "Don’t ever write another word about me, or you’ll need an eyepatch over your other eye."
Criss might feel pretty good about pinking on a guy who has only ONE EYE, but then Criss went and pissed off Donald Trump:
Donald Trump, who owns Miss Universe, the umbrella group for Miss USA, told me Friday that he was disturbed by Angel’s encounter with a judge and added, "We’re going to have to look at that."
Don’t mess with the Donald, or he’ll tie you to a post, and publicly embarass you with harsh comments that are televised on national television.
Heather Mills Booed Backstage at Miss USA

Not only did the Las Vegas audience boo Heather Mills, but acted like a real diva backstage too. A source from Page Six says Heather didn’t want to sign the appearance contract because she wanted it to allow her to get paid if footage of Miss USA was resold. The source also said Heather’s "ego is enormous, and it’s getting bigger by the minute." The source went on to say "She believed that if the show got high ratings, it would be because of her. She treated this like she was starring in a big-budget movie." The producers adjusted the contract, and Heather made her appearance. The real reason Heather got on the show is because she tracked Donald Trump down while he was having dinner at Koi the night before, and the source said:
… she was hoping to "butter him up" and get his approval to be on air. "Heather was flirting with him, and she was really working it. She was unprofessional, but he said, ’Let her [go] on anyway.’ "
Is anyone surprised? The divorce was always about Heather, which could be why we never see Heather with her daughter Beatrice. Nannies are raising her, because mommy wants to be a star. When Heather was booed by the audience Heather said:
"In England, people don’t like me, but I’m going to move to America, Los Angeles, hopefully. I’ll be better off in the States."
Better off not because people will like Heather more, but because she plans to use all the hatred people have for her in the U.S. to make her a celebrity. There are two types of celebrities: the ones we love to love, and the ones we love to hate.
The source said Heather was talking to über publicist Elliot Mintz, but won’t hire him because "She’s very cheap; she could never afford his price."
Some people make a very good living out of being a cheap gold digging whore.
Chace Crawford Sister was Miss Missouri

Miss Texas Crystle Stewart (26) (pictured below) may have won the title of Miss USA 2008, but it was Miss Missouri that got my attention. Miss Missouri is Chace Crawford’s 21 year-old sister, Candice Crawford. Candice even made it into the top ten. Put a little make-up, a wig, and a dress on Chace, and I’d be willing to bet he would have made it into the top five.
