Stop us if you've heard this before:
A D-list celebrity is about to star in a movie/reality show/release a book. She needs to garner publicity for it. Suddently, rumors of a sex tape pop up. The celebrity plays ignorant, only to eventually fess up to the video, cite it as a mistake and watch her Q-rating soar.
Sound familiar? We've been there, done that with Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian and Shauna Sand.
In other words: not only is Carrie Prejean dishonest, exploitive and manipulative - she's unoriginal.
The disgraced beauty queen, who was held up for months by conservative Christians as a value-based role model, appeared on Hannity last night and admitted that her sex tape is real.
"All by myself, I was sending a boyfriend at the time, who I loved and cared about, a video of me," she said. "Never did I think it would ever come out. It was bad judgment. It's embarrassing. It's humiliating to be talking about this on national TV."
Anyone else think Carrie will feel less humiliated once sales figures for her book, Still Standing, come out?
Oh, the Irony: Carrie Prejean titled her biography "Still Standing." She's in the news again, however, for lying down on video. And touching herself.
How did Sean Hannity respond to this admission? With a joke: "It would be really embarrassing if it was me," he said.
In possibly related news: Hannity wrote the foreword for Prejean's memoir.
If Hannity and the right want to ignore Prejean's topless photos and masturbation tape, that's fine. We agree, people are allowed to make mistakes. But at what point does any American with half a brain realize that Republicans have no better standing on the moral high ground than Democrats do?
Are there any Carrie Prejean supporters out there? We'd love to hear them defend their girl if so!
CHECK OUT THE INTERVIEW WITH HANNITY AFTER THE JUMP.
Sean Hannity wrote the foreword for Carrie Prejean's book, and now he's interviewing her on Fox News.
We'd mention something about a violation of journalistic standards, but that would imply Fox News possessed those standards in the first place.

There's a word for women like Carrie. Several in fact. None of them complimentary.

Carrie gave the "wrong answer" at a beauty pageant, and all of you have done your best to get back at her. It's beyond infantile. She has the guts to stand for something while the gossip mongers twitter and cluck about it. I think she's a good person and I don't buy the hatred. The sex tape is, of course, embarassing, but it was done a few years ago and sent to a boyfriend. Vanessa Hudgens sent nude pics to a boy, what's the difference? Does Vanessa get hammered all day, every day? No. I stumbled onto your site, and I'm disheartened that you perpetuate this nonsense for no reason.

To "Luke Warmwater" - Hudgens actually got TONS of slack for her nude photos, including from this very site.
The difference between Prejean and other sex tape celebrities is that none other have exploited religion in order to stay in the news. It's insulting to me as a Christian. I forgive people that ask for forgiveness and truly seek redemption. I do not forgive people that appear on Fox News in order to sell a book and consistently lie about their actions.

luke, are you an idiot? oh wait, you support carrie prejean, so i guess that answers that. vanessa hudgens is constantly bashed for her naked pics, and last i checked, vanessa hudgens wasn't an official spokesperson for higher moral values like this hypocritical self righteous b*tch. i could care less what her position on gay marriage is, but the fact she's going around telling people she has some sort of moral convictions on sex & marriage while taking topless photos & making girls gone wild type videos is a complete joke. get a brain luke because you're the biggest idiot to ever comment on this blog and that says a lot!

If there is a sex tape, why hasnt it surfaced? Good for her for writing a book and profiting off of all this gossip. So she doesn't believe in gay marriage. Who cares! Its one persons opinion. Get on with your lives!

great post
good works......

Cat, are you doubting she has a sex tape? Did you watch the interview above? She admits to it.
Also, not a single person in this article has mentioned gay marriage. Is that really the defense of her: she has an opinion on gay marriage, so she should be left alone?
All this article and her critics are saying is that she's a liar and a hypocrite. We haven't uttered a word about her stance on gay marriage.

Seems like Luke and Cat never heard of the nasty emails Carrie sent to the Miss California pageant officials, or the persistent, willful contract violations. Carrie has proven herself to be an unethical nitwit, very far from the holier-than-thou image she tries to project.
The flack over Carrie isn't about her comments on gay marriage. It's about HER lack of character.
