Miss California didn't know she was about to step into a hornets' nest with her answer to a question posed to her by celebrity judge Perez Hilton at last night's Miss America Contest. Did you hear her answer and see her beautiful face as she gave it? Did you hear his question and feel the confrontational attitude coming from him when he gave it? It was almost like he knew her background and was daring her to answer this question honestly and if so, to her detriment. It looks like he made sure she paid for this "wrong" answer.
I loved the applause she got from the audience after her answer believing that most feel the same way as she. That is, marriage should be between a man and a woman as we have all been brought up to believe.
You just knew that Hilton was very angry receiving the answer that he did not wish to hear. She did not back down believing that every state should have the opportunity to vote one way or the other and then giving her own opinion on the matter.
I think she hit on something important. It should be left up to the people to vote and not the state representatives who are bowing to the pressure put to them by a militant few like this Hilton character.
Showing his true colors, Perez Hilton today went on his blog site blasting out Miss California, hate and venom dripping from his lips, as he called her derogatory names. All because she gave her opinion that did not match his own and standing up for her belief that she was raised with.
Miss California stated her opinion to the question posed to her and since it wasn't politically correct lost her bid to become the new Miss America. Basically her answer cost her. This is truly representative as to what is going on all across the country to those who dare speak out against these new laws allowing homosexual marriages and the baggage that comes with it. You disagree and you will pay the price.
I'd like to say to Miss California that she did good. She is refreshingly honest as well as amazingly beautiful inside and out and her not bowing to the social pressure of our day just to get along speaks volumes about her character. Kudos! She may have lost this imperishible crown but I'm just betting she's going to get another that will glitter more brightly in the age to come.
Check the link below to see how Hilton really exposed his true self. I thought judges were supposed to be impartial? Some judge.

To the contrary, while everything I know along with my faculties tell me that you are full of it - I have once principle that tends to be stronger. It is the principle of always be open minded. I may disagree, and the facts may support my point - but I'm always going to be open minded to possibilities and chances to prove such points. If I didn't do that, I would be a hypocrit.
She is a strong, strong lady; I respect her greatly and admire her even more. I, quite literally, wouldn't be here if it wasn't for her.
I understand, and I'm similar to a point. I have Christian friends, as well as Muslim friends. So, while I find religion to be silly, I am open and willing to be friends with such people. I wouldn't put things so much as agenda, so much as passion. Your opinion and those of your type that actively promote it are your passionate, which is understandable. Still, in my opinion, there are some cases where such "agendas" as you claim - are good. Think about it, without an agenda for black rights, we wouldn't be where we are today with black rights. Or women's rights for that matter. Agendas can be a good thing.
One person's agenda is another person's justified cause, right?
Double Post
yall have gone and done it now.
by making such a huge ado about less than nothing, you've convinced your heroine that god looked down upon her strutting around in her bikini and becameth so well pleased he doth choseth her to delivereth his word to the peoples of the earth.
for lo, she spaketh thus to the oracle at foxnews, neil cavuto, when encountering him in the holy place of the murdochians:
"I think that I was the one that was blessed enough to get this question. I am so blessed that I was able to speak my mind, my thoughts, my convictions in front of millions of people."
bad enough, but it don't stoppeth there.
apparently sister carrier is of a mind that being elevated to join the elect just may qualify her to join the elected as well.
cuz therefore and whereupon as she madeth ready to withdraw and journey forth unto her home, she prosephied, saying: "I am continuing my modeling career. I'm not sure how far that is going to lead me, Maybe get into politics, you never know."
whosoever says to his brother, thou fool may be liable to the fires of gehenna, so i'm not gonna say that exactly.
just gonna point out if yall keep this one going, it won't be long--like a few hours of wink practice--before she winds up as your next vp candidate.
i had no idea--til just a few minutes ago--this all occured at something other than the good ol ms america pageant.
after discovering the venue was, instead, the trumped up wanna-be, i'm even more taken aback.
yall really watch that shit?
Nope. Never would've heard a word about it were it not for the vicious hate-monger non-celebrity Perez Hilton. If, faced with the choice of coming down on the side of Miss California or Perez Hilton, you come down on the side of the latter, you have a serious reality-acceptance problem like Perez (who apparently has way more problems than that).
From what little I know of you, I suspect you just like tweaking noses & giving people wedgies. I choose, for the moment, to consider your comments as part of that fine legacy.
Disclaimer: I did not watch the pageant. I also think Perez Hilton is a d-bag.
Regardless, I wonder how parading around with your bikini line showing protects the sanctity of marriage.
There seems to be, in my mind, a contradiction here. She was brought up Christian and has Christian values. I guess that was well known even by, I assume, Hilton by the post conversations.
While there's nothing about not attending or having anything to do with beauty pagents in scripture, we actually do see one in the book of Esther with Esther winning the prize....the king. And it was quite the beauty pagent by the sounds of it.
But to me, Miss CA's very scantily clad body has no bearing on the sanctity of marriage so much as it is not being modestly apparelled and promoting lust as in maybe causing a "brother" to sin. We are not supposed to do that.
For that reason, I wouldn't wish or encourage my daughter (if I had one) to participate.
Maybe in her mind she thought as Miss America she could do some earthly Christian good. Whatever the case, it looks like her faith has been strengthened and she doesn't seem bitter about losing. I would not like to see her sue tho. If she does, I wouldn't support it.
take a few to browse backwards thru this entire mindless celebration of irrelevantly insignificant excess--as quickly as possible cuz who knows, instant brain vaporization may prove contagious--stopping only at those comments authored by your humble correspondent, and then notta millisecond longer than is necessary to locate my observation regarding the tattooworthiness of zoo's admonition: apparently you didn't know perez hilton is a douchebag.
i'll cop to having problems dealing with reality here because this whole thread is irrefutable proof more than one real person has (and is) really focusing on a dispute of no real consequence or import between a pair of mannikins neither of whom have any real association with the real miss america pageant.
well you helped celebrate so what does that make you? Hmmmm?
Oh yeah, this lisping a-hole is the perfect judge for the Miss America pageant.
http://www.iviewtube.com/videos/39264/perez-hilton-why-miss-california-did-not-win-miss-usa-pageant
What a douche.
unlikely he'd wind up doin that. but since the event in question was not the miss america pageant but rather the miss usa contest...and since miss usa is owned by a non-lisping but no less obnoxiousl self-aggrandizing a-hole named donald trump...there just may be some sorta symbiosis at work here.
there are big differences between the two pageants (snigger): miss usa has no talent competition and miss america contestants don't have to suck up to (or off) trump.
the voice of one crying out in the wilderness 'good thing there's nothing more important to get all wound up over"?
ain't as if the nuclear-armed pakistani government just rolled over and let the taliban take control of territory 60 miles outside their capital city or karzai just signed away the rights of afghan women.
Yes, I know they are differnt, and I did name the wrong wrong, but do you have an actual pertinent point? The guy is a douche who used an inappropriate venue to try and advance a politcal agenda. If it were a right wing political point would you be as accepting? It was wrong of him, period.
yeah he's a douche. ain't like it's a big secret.
so's donald trump who bought the pageant some years back to ensure himself a fresh crop of those young model types he craves.
as i already mentioned, there's no "talent" judging involved.
it already is an inappropriate venue for everything but perving.
perez is clearly perverted so it all kinda works. why else would trump have permitted him on the broadcast?
why anyone attaches any significance to anything either hilton or the bimbo hadda say is beyond me.
Sadly, this is how some deflect attention away from the real issues, by denigration of the participants and dismissively claiming those participants are 'unworthy' of the issues so why bother with them.
Yeah, that's why I don't watch those things. Seems like we're (as in humans) too obsessed with looks versus abilities. Money and looks trump intellect and talent I guess.
exactly. When they have no argument they go after the person.
sometimes but not always the case. Look at the recognition of Susan Boyle for instance. No looks, no money. She opened her mouth and a beautiful sound came out that everyone recognized and appreciated.
Well from a straight male's view point...it can't hurt. Like it or not the female form is probably one of the best advertisements for marriage (in a round about way) there is. And don't worry girls it transcends good looks to include almost every woman out there. So as superficial as it might appear, something is hard coded inside most of us to cause a positive reaction. I think most of women don't give themselves near enough credit. You don't have to be a beauty queen to get a response, if you really want one. I would venture to guess more guys lost sleep over trying to get to know you better than they ever did some pageant contestant.
All the above seems much ado about nothing--after all, Miss NC is a hotter chick.
Nothing to debate in the above
except for the "bimbo" part. I applaud her for standing up for her convictions when it's much easier to hem and haw like the rest of them are doing these days.
seems as if, while speaking her mind and heart, she's been revealing more of hersself in a much less intellectual sense.
pretty easy to find sources reporting a 2nd set of semi-nude pix has surfaced but i particularly like this one by l steven seiden who's identidied as "seattle spiritual living examiner" on the examiner dot com page on which this can be found. link
"On May 4, 2009, a photo of Prejean partially nude appeared on a celebrity gossip blog. The directors of the Miss California USA pageant are investigating Prejean for potentially violating a contract clause against prospective pageant candidates having been photographed "nude or partially nude."
On May 5 Prejean stated that she had posed for that shot as a seventeen-year-old model and that she sees no problem with it, saying that, "I am a Christian, and I am a model. Models pose for pictures, including lingerie and swim wear photos. Recently, photos taken of me as a teenager have been released surreptitiously to a tabloid Web site that openly mocks me for my Christian faith. I am not perfect, and I will never claim to be.”
So, she's a evangelical Christian who is not perfect and has opinions. Hopefully, we can all learn something from her public controversies. May we all be tolerant of each other's beliefs, path and appearance."
dunno bout yall, but i'm more inclined to be tolerant of those who show tolerance themselves.
beyond that, where were her parents while their 17-yr-old daughter was posing topless?
one possibility is divorce court accusing each other of being gay according to the new york daily news which offers this glimpse inside their ideal opposite-sex marriage link
"Prejean's parents flung a series of homosexual allegations against one another. In one of the documents, Prejean's father describes a confrontation he had with her mother in 1996, in which "Ms. Prejean accused me, in front of our daughter, of homosexuality." Another excerpt quotes a court-appointed doctor who said "The mother questioned [within hearing of the girls] whether [her father] was a homosexual or had a homosexual roommate."Court papers dated May 16, 2000, include the following statement from a court-appointed counselor: "The mother also alleges the father told the girls their stepfather was gay, that all men with mustaches are gay." Prejean's father "acknowledges talking with the girls about the stepfather's brother being gay, not the stepfather," said the papers."
i'm guessing those of you who were unhappy with me for having characterized this bimbo as a bimbo have never had any direct contact with "models". models as bimbos (and vice-versa) is a perfect example of fact-based cliche in my experience and professional opinion. professional as in i was once responsible for overseeing a 40+ person production staff, a number of whom were photographers. one day i stopped by the studio in the early afternoon and overheard the following conversation between two of their pretty lil models:
bimbo #1: this is really great thai food!
bimbo#2: it's soo good. where does it come from?
bimbo#1: i dunno...maybe japan?
another day i was approached by a model who'd been discussing this guy she'd met the previous night with some of my editors who then suggested she ask me the same question she'd just asked them: did i know anything about "a guy named bob dylan? he's supposed to be famous or something."
i could seriously damage my fingers and my mood providing you with more testimony but hopefully you get my drift.
i may not be all that intuitive but i'm fairly adept at identifying bimbos. believe me, this bimbo keeps getting press coverage and pretty soon you will too.
Wow! And I thought most liberals were all about breaking down stereotypical characterizations. I for one do not know her well enough or nor have I seen enough of her interviews to toss her into such a broad group, disparaging or not.
Unless the stereotype is their stereotype & serves to demean those with whom they disagree. Can't you just feel the love? More of that change you can believe in. I just had no idea how much more tolerance & understanding was going to be washing over us after the election of the One who will stop the ocean's rise.
