Breaking News: Carrie Prejean’s Not Telling The Truth Says Miss Universe President
Posted on Nov 10, 2009 @ 06:41PM - 14 comments
Carrie Prejean seems to have made an enemy of the one person who stood by her side, and that probably wasn’t a good idea. Although he eventually fired Carrie, Donald Trump had initially stood by her side after her answer on gay marriage at the Miss USA Pageant, but she managed to alienate him when she wrote in her book that he mistreated the contestants in the Miss USA Pageant.
Carrie Prejean Claims Pageant Director Pressured Her Into Boob Job
Paula Shugart, the President of The Miss Universe Organization told RadarOnline.com that “Carrie’s version of the truth and the facts are two very different things.” Shugart had multiple interactions with Carrie over the last year. “From my dealings with Carrie,” she said. “I simply do not understand how she could have any credibility in the public eye.”
Pageant Official Slams Prejean Over Being Opportunistic
Shugart continued “The reality is that Carrie wants to sell and promote her book by including Mr. Trump, but her account of what happened is inaccurate.” She also said that Carrie’s adamant stance about her beliefs were questionable. “Sadly, it appears that Carrie is frequently in error but never in doubt.”
"Carrie should be ashamed of herself,” Trump said on Tuesday.

In her book Still Standing Carrie lashes out at The Donald, saying that he came back stage before the Pageant competition and asked the contestants which girl they found “hot” and split the girls into two sides. “It became clear that the point of the whole exercise was for him to divide the room between girls he personally found attractive and those he did not,” Carrie wrote. She said that many of the girls found “this exercise humiliating,” and that some of them were sobbing back stage.

Trump responded to Extra, “Certainly I would never do a thing like that, because it would be too hurtful. I don't stand the ones that are less attractive to one side, and the beautiful ones on the other side. It was total nonsense — it was fiction in her imagination… I don't even know how she came up with an idea like that…She should not have written that in the book."

Carrie has continued to stir the controversy surrounding her by a nasty remark to President Obama too. Writing about her hysteria-making moment during the Miss USA pageant, Carrie says: "But like most Californians and a certain candidate for president from Illinois, I believed then and I believe now that marriage should be a legally recognized sacrament between a man and a woman. If that makes me a bigot, so is Barack Obama."

Writing about her hysteria-making moment during the Miss USA pageant, Carrie says: "But like most Californians and a certain candidate for president from Illinois, I believed then and I believe now that marriage should be a legally recognized sacrament between a man and a woman. If that makes me a bigot, so is Barack Obama."
(Note to Carrie: Don't expect an invitation to the White House any time soon.)

She continues in the book: "I was not then, nor am I now, aspiring to be the next Anita Bryant. I am comfortable with all God's children. Civil unions between gay people, at least as a matter of law, have always been fine with me. "If asked, I would have told you that I believed that gay couples should have visiting rights in the hospital, just like everybody else."

She also talks about pageant executive director Keith Lewis and her thoughts when she learned he was an openly gay man who lived with his long-term boyfriend.

"I soon learned that Keith was an openly gay activist who had been with his boyfriend for seven years. Despite the impression you might have of me from the more hysterical concerns of the mainstream media, I took in all this information without judgment. The fact of the matter is, I liked Keith. I think he took to me as his protégé," she added.

"I believe that the traditional definition of marriage should not be changed. By the same token, I am not bothered by the idea of gay people choosing to live their lives together as they see fit - just as Keith and his boyfriend did - just don't call it marriage.

In a more bizarre aside, she attempts to take apart the word homophobic: "If you ever get bored, look up 'homo' in the dictionary: it means 'man' as in Homo Sapiens or 'the same' as in homogenous, so to be 'homophobic' really means to be fearful of men, which I'm not, or fearful of things being the same, which is a fear I think few people have. 'Homophobic' is merely a made-up word to try to force everyone to be politically correct on gay marriage or risk being accused of being hateful."

What does it take to get a famed photographer to make a book these days? Apparently Jessica Alba and Barack Obama. That’s how fashion and celeb snapper Mark Liddell got the fever to publish his ten-year Hollywood retrospect Exposed.
“Jessica Alba rang me a year ago to do the Declare Yourself campaign to get kids to vote. That made me, as an Englishman, aware of American politics, which I was blissfully unaware of.”
Alba then turned him on to a then-fledgling politician Obama, whose platform was change.
“[From there], I actually wanted to do something with a purpose.”
Exposed was born, culminating countless star photographs from the likes of John Travolta, Janet Jackson, Christina Aguilera, Nicole Richie, Beyonce and Matthew McConaughey.
Liddell began shooting for houses like Versace and Fendi, and upon moving to Los Angeles (on the recommendation of Nicole Kidman), started playing with the lines between stars and style.

“If there’s one person in America who has captured the public's imagination even more than Barack Obama, it’s his wife Michelle. So following the runaway success of the Obama Action Figure we simply had to make Michelle because Barack and Michelle are a team in the best and truest sense of the word and you can't have one without the other,” the toymaker’s site says. “Just like in real life, the Michelle Obama Action Figure isn't simply be a female counterpart to Barack. She’s her own lady with her own style and energy and, of course, her own fashion sense.”
