Donald Trump announced Miss USA Pageant runner-up, Carrie Prejean, will carry-on her crowned duties, despite controversies with celebrity bloggist, Perez Hilton and her outpour of scandalous pictures.
Carrie Prejean found herself in quite the pickle during the last Miss USA Pageant when Perez Hilton asked for her opinions on gay marriage. Several days following, the world saw a little more than expected of Miss California when some questionable photos were released.
Turns out Carrie Prejean gets to keep her title, but I’m sure she, along with Donald Trump, are going to be caught under Perez Hilton’s fire once again.
