Carrie Prejean Sues for Religious Discrimination

Hollywood Grind — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 22:00:34 +0000

Carrie Prejean has filed a lawsuit claiming Shanna Moakler, and other pageant officials, forced her out because of her religious beliefs.

Prejean filed the suit in L.A. County Superior Court, accusing Moakler and Keith Lewis of religious discrimination, defamation, public disclosure of private facts, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligent infliction of emotional distress.

In her suit Prejean says the Miss California USA people "fabricated a fraudulent list of some 50 public appearances allegedly missed by Prejean which they released to the media in order to justify her termination as Miss California USA."

In the suit, Carrie claims officials also tried to "set up Prejean to have her dismissed as Miss California USA by asking her to do a Playboy photo shoot for $120,000."

A rep for Moakler said on her behalf:

"Ms. Moakler has not yet been served with Carrie Prejean’s lawsuit. However, on Ms. Moakler’s behalf, I can say unequivocally that Ms. Prejean’s lawsuit is without merit. More importantly, as everyone who watched or read her public statements is well aware, Ms. Prejean’s unfortunate and bigoted statements are responsible for any public humiliation or damages to her reputation that she has claimed to have suffered. Ms. Moakler strenuously denies that she did anything wrong and looks forward to proving that in a court of law."

Keith Lewis said in a statement:

"It appears that suits from both sides are now inevitable against the other."

"I would guess Carrie sees it as a chance to get publicity for her upcoming book because in the interviews I have seen, she talks about the suit and the book in the same breath."

"We have no problem with her selling lots of books, considering in the current situation we could stand to profit from every copy she sells."

"For us, it has never been about her beliefs and we have always just wanted to move on."

"But it seems like Carrie really has nothing new to talk about or anything new in her life so the impression is she just keeps looking for ways to rehash her position as a victim because of her onstage answer."

While we agree with Lewis when he says Prejean needs to move on, and points out the fact that Prejean is still trying to milk this one controversy for as much money as she can, we also know from public statements that both Lewis and Moakler strongly denounced Prejean’s religious opinion when regarding same sex marriage. Since the pageant officials only began to show their disapproval of Prejean after she gave her opinion on same sex marriage, and not before, gives Prejean’s case the credibility and merit it needs to have a fair chance at succeeding in court. We’ll have to wait and see if the case is settled out of court, or what is decided in court.

Carrie Prejean Sues Miss California Directors

Hollywood Grind — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 15:06:12 +0000

Carrie Prejean filed a lawsuit against Miss California directors Keith Lewis and Shanna Moakler, as well as K2 Productions, Inc. The suit alleges slander, libel, public disclosure of private facts, religious discrimination, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligent infliction of emotional distress. We expected a wrongful discharge as well, but it appears that Prejean’s attorney agrees she violated her contract, which justified her discharge (firing).

While Prejean may feel this lawsuit has merit, we believe she should just lick her wounds and move on. The career opportunity Prejean could have had may be lost as she wallows in the past.

Shanna Moakler Resigns as Miss USA Pageant Co-Director

Hollywood Grind — Wed, 13 May 2009 20:24:03 +0000

Shanna Moakler, and her other co-director, tried to threaten Donald Trump into taking away the Miss California crown from Carrie Prejean, but instead Trump decided to keep Prejean. Moakler then threw a hissy fit and resigned as a Miss USA co-director:

“Since the press conference yesterday, I had a chance to think about what has taken place, and I feel that at this time it is in my best interest to resign,” Shanna says in the statement. “I cannot with a clear conscious move forward supporting and promoting the Miss Universe Organization when I no longer believe in it, or the contracts I signed committing myself as a youth.”

“I want to be a role model for young woman with high hopes of pageantry, but now feel it more important to be a role model for my children. I am sorry and hope I have not let any young supporters down but wish them the best of luck in fulfilling their dreams.”

Blah blah blah. The Miss USA pageant is no place for political activists like Moakler. It’s a beauty pageant. Don’t let the door hit you in the butt on your way out Moakler.

The best part of the Prejean story is that she isn’t some blonde bimbo like everyone thought she was.

Gerard Butler is dating Shanna Moakler

Hollywood Grind — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 17:15:23 +0000

Now that Travis Barker is burned from the waste down, Shanna Moakler is trying to get with Gerard Butler. Shanna and Gerard were together at Shin in Hollywood last evening.

Shanna is the agressive stalker type. Shanna kept kissing Gerard on the cheek, and he looked uncomfortable. This date probably ended with a restraining order, or at the very least, Gerard probably put a bag over Shanna’s head so he wouldn’t have to look her in the eye while he did his business.

Lindsay Lohan Going Back to Rehab

Hollywood Grind — Tue, 29 May 2007 16:54:49 +0000

Though she was cited for DUI Saturday morning, Lindsay Lohan hardly kept a low profile over the rest of the weekend.

On Sunday the actress, 20, hit a Memorial Day pool party for 944 magazine at Hollywood’s Roosevelt Hotel, where DJ pal Samantha Ronson was spinning. "She was in a great mood," says a partygoer. Insiders insisted she didn’t care about the consequences of her arrest when cocaine was discovered in her wrecked Mercedes convertible. Police found a substance they identified as "a usable amount of cocaine" in connection with the accident. Lohan was hospitalized for minor upper-chest injuries; her two passengers were not hurt.

Early the next morning, pictures were snapped of Lohan apparently asleep or passed out in the passenger seat of Ronson’s car, several "30 Days" sobriety pendants hanging from the rearview mirror.

According to the New York Post, Lohan had dropped her sunglasses and cigarettes on her way out of the hotel, then collapsed when she bent to pick them up. A bouncer had to lift her into the car.

The incident came just two days after the actress was arrested and cited for driving under the influence in Los Angeles after her Mercedes struck a curb and shrub on Sunset Boulevard around 5:30 a.m. Saturday.

In Touch is reporting that Lindsay Lohan is on her way back into rehab, after a wild weekend and her arrest for DUI early Saturday morning. Lindsay is due to check into Promises in Malibu this afternoon. This is the rehab facility that Britney Spears went to earlier this year.

This will be Lindsay’s trip to rehab this year. She completed a 30-day course in the Wonderland rehab facility in Los Angeles on February 16.

The actress was charged with a misdemeanor, a police spokesperson said at a press conference, adding, "There is a potential for additional charges." Blood was drawn from Lindsay in the hospital, and police are awaiting results of tests to see what substances were present. Her tentative arraignment date is August 24.

Some friends are hoping that Lohan, who checked into rehab in January, will again seek help. "The police intervening … could be the best thing for her," one source said. "I think she’ll have to do a real rehab this time, and not just a Hollywood rehab."

Lindsay’s parents were in court recently fighting for custody of Lindsay’s two younger siblings. Lindsay’s father has been outspoken sending messages to his daughter to get help, and offering his love and support. Watch his latest video message here.

Linsay was scheduled to begin shooting a movie called Poor Things, a crime mystery, with Shirley MacLaine and Olympia Dukakis, but with Lindsay in rehab she won’t be on the set. Now many are asking if Lindsay whether she is too much of a liability to hire for movie studios. Some also say Lindsay is box office poison with a string of movie bombs, the latest being Georgia Rule in theaters now, and bombing.

Shanna Moakler couldn’t help but take a shot too saying, "When you are making $8 million dollars a film … HIRE A DRIVER!!" Shanna goes on to say the "penis posse," which includes Lindsay, Paris Hilton, and others "…is going down one by one…and going to rehab or jail."

So, will Lindsay still be partying at PURE Nightclub in Las Vegas on July 2?

Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler Back Together

Hollywood Grind — Mon, 19 Mar 2007 17:22:20 +0000

Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler might be saying they aren’t back together, but their actions say otherwise. These two should bring a tent to the beach, since they don’t have the patience to wait until they get a room.

Travis threw a birthday party for Shanna. This is really cool. It’s much better to see a husband and wife working it out for themselves, and for the kids, than to have a nasty split.

Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler Back Together? Shanna Pregnant?

Hollywood Grind — Fri, 23 Feb 2007 05:05:45 +0000

Just last year Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler split up after Barker filed for divorce. Barker then started banging Paris Hilton, who has herpes, got stoned with her in Amersterdam, then Shanna caught them together at a club and Shanna punched Paris in the face and gave Paris a fat lip. Sweet justice.

Barker and Moakler were seen out together, but denied being back together. Well…this picture says it all. It appears that Shanna is pregnant, at least that’s my opinion from the looks of this picture. I doubt Shanna would let herself get that fat looking without a baby onboard.

Let the rumors begin.

Barker’s arm should have healed by now, but it is looking more and more like he could have osteoporosis from his vegetarian diet.
