"Somewhere Perez Hilton is laughing his blue hair green," said Don Surber in the Charleston, W.V., Daily Mail. Former Miss California Carrie Prejean has been gossip fodder since she shocked the openly gay Hilton—a gossip columnist and Miss USA judge—with her outspoken opposition to gay marriage. Now the people who run the Miss California USA beauty pageant are suing to recover the $5,200 they say they shelled out to pay for Carrie Prejean's breast implants.
The text of the lawsuit over Carrie Prejean and her breast implants seems straightforward enough, said Duncan Riley in The Inquisitr. It says the $5,200 was a loan—"but then it just gets bizarre." Prejean has sued the pageant for stripping her of her Miss California crown, which she said was a reaction to her religious beliefs. The pageant's countersuit says, "Had [Prejean] heeded the guidance of the Gospel of John, who admonished only those who are without sin to cast stones in judgment, she might have avoided this legal battle."
The Miss California USA pageant's organizers—K2 Productions—have a long list of complaints, said Hunter Walker in Gawker, in the Carrie Prejean breast implants lawsuit. They say the former Miss California violated her contract by missing events, lying about the existence of semi-nude photos of her, and using "her title to support the National Organization for Marriage's 'campaign of intolerance' against gay marriage." But even if K2 gets its money, it can't really hurt Prejean—"by suing her, they're just helping her cultivate the religious martyr status that's landing her speaking gigs at right-wing events and morning show appearances on Fox News."

Posted by Aaron, Wednesday, October 21, 2009, 12:35 pm Let us see now: free speech is only tolerated if it's politically correct free speech. Unbelievable. Oh, wait. I forgot. It is totally believable, since that door does NOT swing both ways.

Posted by Barbie Doll, Wednesday, October 21, 2009, 1:08 pm You shouldnt make fun of Carrie Prejean. She stands for everything thats good in America like modesty, abstaining from sex until marriage, and doing what it takes to make the body that God gave you appealing to the opposite sex. She hates homosexuals who the Bible says are sinners in Gods eyes and she thinks more people should have more guns and both of these are good Christian values too.
Posted by Johnny Reb, Wednesday, October 21, 2009, 2:09 pm Look, I disagree with her. Everybody ought to have the right to get married and make that mistake. But it's her opinion. That's what they asked of her, what was her opinionl. Just because they didn't like her opinion doesn't mean she should have been screwed over as she was. She did what she was supposed to do as Miss California, leave her alone. I agree with Aaron though, this is PC BS. Free speech only seems to count if its PC free speech. Any different opinion isn't tolerated. Either its all okay or none of it is.
Posted by voxlogica, Wednesday, October 21, 2009, 4:25 pm Actually, they asked her opinion to SCREEN her that is , to see if she would be a good representative for their 'organization' which, while it has not problem with objectifying women, doesn't want to be associated with bigots. That is a legitimate reason for them to choose someone else. If she'd said that blacks and whites shouldn't marry, or that hispanics were inferior to whites, no one would say 'hey, it is just her OPINION, don't hold it against her'.
Posted by Norman, Wednesday, October 21, 2009, 7:36 pm Johhny Rebyou represent ignorance at its finest. The truth is, she was fired for not doing her job, not showing up for press stuff, signing book deals with athorization, etc. just read teh complaint and her nasty emails!! The fact that she answered a question wrong had nothing to do with her fall....and it was wrongcivil righst are for everyone, not just for opposite peopleThe tits look bad by the way...
Posted by Odessa, Wednesday, October 21, 2009, 10:02 pm Ms. Prejean would like everyone to think she is a martyr for her religious beliefs. Rather than being a good Christian, she is an immodest, vicious, arrogant selfpromoter. Furthermore, how many of you actually heard her response to that stupid ill conceived question? Not only did her answer show her bigotry, but it wasn't even done eloquently
