Move over Miss California, one of your predecessors is getting into the fight.
I tried to ignore this ridiculous battle, but it's time to jump in.
One day after the "Don" backed the current sash-wearing recipient Carrie Prejean, former Miss USA Shanna Moakler has resigned as co-executive director of the Miss California USA Pageant.
She didn't like Donald Trump's decision NOT to fire Prejean.
Here's a little bit from today's AP story: "At a news conference Monday, Moakler had angrily accused Prejean of violating the contract she signed with pageant organizers by speaking out on behalf of organizations opposed to gay marriage and by failing to disclose she had posed nearly nude for racy photographs before entering the state pageant, which leads to the Miss USA and Miss Universe competitions."
He did call the photo's "risque", but added it's the 21st century.
Yes it is, now let's get a grip.
Moakler says she no longer believes in the Miss Universe Organization and what it stands for after she believes Trump gave Prejean a pass.
Gave her a pass? Let's back up and take a look at the video replay of the ambush supplied by celebrity (haha) judge Perez Hilton during the pageant.
The look on her face is total shock as she starts to answer. She stumbles a bit, as she begins to recite the politically-correct answer, then, in mid-stream, she speaks her mind.. her opinion.. and then, is crucified for it.
What did you expect? Hilton obviously knew what he was doing. Perhaps a pre-interview or questionnaire filled out by Prejean tipped her hand and gave Hilton the target he was fishing for.
She was served up on a ratings platter.
So, she went out after the fact and made a few speeches to support her beliefs and the pageant folks in California don't like it.
Trump does, if there's one thing he knows is controversy sells, and sells big!!
He won't fire her, Hilton or anyone else that provides HIS pageant with a spark.
Anyone who dares to wear the sash from this day forward needs to be prepared for a new generation of pageant pratfalls.
Gone are the days of world peace, prepare for the crowning blow!!!

Who cares... she's hot!
I SHALL TRY AGAIN...
First of all this story is older now so some of my "fire" will be missing from my comment. = ) I enjoyed the "celebrity (haha) judge Perez Hilton" comment, by the way. = D
I DO think that Perez Hilton knew exactly who he was asking. I think I had read that she attended a Christian school at some point.
I've only watched the clips of the exchange ( said she distancing herself from watching the Miss USA Pageant. ALL THE WHILE waiting anxiously for the next set of "Real Housewives of..." series.) ; D However, I was so proud of her for taking a stand. You know that being from this state and on national television she KNEW that might cost her and that it would for sure NOT be popular!!
Remind me again...WHO are the "intoerant" ones???????
