Carrie Prejean may have violated her contract by campaigning against same-sex marriage.



One thing reigns supreme when it comes to the gay marriage-hating Miss California Carrie Prejean: Mass confusion. Donald Trump will reveal Tuesday whether he's telling Carrie Prejean "You're Fired!" or letting her keep her crown, but state officials just couldn't wait. While acknowledging it's Trump's decision - he owns the pageant - they took the bizarre step Monday of naming Carrie Prejean's runnerup, Tami Farrell, a special "Beauty of California Ambassador." Carrie Prejean has failed to make appearances, complained Miss California USA co-executive directors Keith Lewis and Shanna Moakler. She became a lightning rod for the gay marriage issue when she said, in reply to a question at the Miss USA pageant, that she didn't think it should be legal. Soon after, it was revealed Carrie Prejean had recently got breast implants. But the biggest controversy erupted over recently-revealed nude photographs. "Up until now we have just been riding along pretty much a passenger on this runaway train. But as of today, that ends," said Lewis. Carrie Prejean entered violated her contract, and hasn't been available for appearances, Lewis said. Moakler said Carrie Prejean's failure to reveal the photos were out there to organizers shows Carrie Prejean entered the pageant under false pretenses. "For us the severity of nudity in the one photo that Carrie Prejean has admitted was hers is not the issue. The fact that she entered the pageant and admitted it, is," Moakler said. Lewis admitted that the gay marriage controversy is also a factor. "Her message was dividing us rather than bringing us back together," he said. He blasted the National Organization for Marriage for making 21-year-old Prejean, who spoke out against gay marriage in the Miss USA pageant, its poster girl and encouraging her to shirk her pageant responsibilities in favor of "polarizing" politics. "Shame, shame, shame," he said. "Shame for doing it all the while knowing that you placed her in a position where she stood to possibly lose her crown not for her beliefs ...but for the breach of contract you so willingly encouraged." The state pageant has been investigating whether the blonde bombshell violated her contract by making public appearances for the National Organization of Marriage that conflicted with pageant business. Lewis and Moakler also revealed that they now have to go through non-pageant handlers to contact her and have been asked to provide special security for her at events. "We've never had that before: a beauty queen having to have a team of people protecting her in order to go out and create goodwill," he said. "We've been pretty much hijacked, unable to do the work at hand." He said he'll support Trump's decision either way. Prejean was named first runner-up in the Miss USA pageant on April 19. She became a YouTube sensation after she answered a question on gay marriage posed by guest judge Perez Hilton, an openly gay celebrity blogger. "I think in my country, in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman," she said.

Kate Gosselin and Jon Is Dealing With Being in the Public Eye "Very Poorly"



Kate Gosselin of TLC's Jon & Kate Plus 8 said the focus on her current marital woes is "a result of our situation of our very public lives." "We, as you know, have a reality show," Kate Gosselin said on Thursday's Larry King Live while promoting her new book, Eight Little Faces. "Everyone wants to know everything about us. And I feel like this is a situation where, you know, you can't believe everything that you read. You know that. I know that." "And so we are dealing with it privately," Kate Gosselin went on. "We are handling it one step at a time. And I think the important thing to remember is that we love our kids to pieces.



They are safe and happy and healthy. And of all times, their birthday is coming up. And I'm just thanking God for five wonderful years with eight wonderful kids. And, you know, we're just -- we're focusing on them."
Asked if their kids -- twins, 8, and sextuplets, 5 - are aware of coverage of her husband Jon's affair with 23-year-old school teacher Deanna Hummel, Kate Gosselin said, "They attend a very quiet, private school where, you know, people aren't paying attention to that. They're investing their time in their kids' education and activities. And, no, they are, at this point unaware. But they are very aware that we love them very much." Source: usmagazine.com
