Carrie Prejean: I Passed God's Test!
Carrie Prejean has played the God card.
The Miss USA contestant - who has been all over the news for telling judge Perez Hilton that she believes marriage ought to be reserved for a man and woman - sat down with Fox News this week and actually said the ordeal is simply a test from God.
Right. She's a regular Jonah.
Here are a few excerpts from the fair and balanced interview:
On how she's feeling: Happy. This happened for a reason. By having to answer that question in front of a national audience, God was testing my character and faith. I'm glad I stayed true to myself.
On the question about gay marriage: I knew he was controversial, and so was the question. Out of all the topics I studied up on, I dreaded that one, I prayed I would not be asked about gay marriage. If I had any other question, I know I would have won.
On her response: I have no regrets about answering honestly. [Perez Hilton] asked me for my opinion and I gave it to him. I have nothing against gay people, and I didn't mean to offend anyone in my answer.
On her post-pageant activity: I ate my first hamburger in a long time!
So, to recap: Carrie Prejean took part in a beauty pageant, in order to be asked a question about gay marriage, to which she responded by denying homosexuals basic human rights, which simply proved her faith to God, but doesn't mean she has anything against gay people. And her reward, after starving herself for months, was a hamburger.
Everyone got it?
Kristen Dalton or Carrie Prejean: Who Would You Rather ...
Last night, Kristen Dalton claimed the title of Miss USA 2009. The North Carolina native (left) broke down in tears after defeating her chief, Californian rival.
But second-place finisher Carrie Prejean claimed an honor of her own, winning Miss Homophobic Airhead. Much as we hate to say it ... gulp ... Team Perez!
Putting aside the controversy surrounding runner-up Prejean - who says her gay marriage stance cost her the title won by Dalton, one simple fact remains:
These chicks are hot!

Beauty Pageant Director Slams Carrie Prejean, Gay Marriage Stance
The gay marriage debate has found its way into the celebrity gossip world.
As previously reported and depicted, Miss USA judge Perez Hilton asked contestant Carrie Prejean for her views on the controversial topic. She replied:
We live in a land that you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage and, you know what, in my country and my family I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anyone out there, but that's how I was raised and that's how I think it should be between a man and a woman.
Carrie Prejean doesn't believe in gay marriage. We don't believe she offered any reasonable explanation for this view.
Hilton, as you might expect, was aghast at the response.
So was Keith Lewis, the Executive Director of Miss California USA/Teen USA. He wrote the following to Hilton's website:
"As co-executive director of Miss CA USA and one of the leaders of the Miss CA family, I am personally saddened and hurt that Miss CA USA 2009 believes marriage rights belong only to a man and a woman. Although I believe all religions should be able to ordain what unions they see fit, I do not believe our government should be able to discriminate against anyone. Religious beliefs have no place in politics in the Miss CA family."
Lewis neededn't have added the final few words. Religious beliefs have no place in politics. Period.

Perez Hilton Poses Gay Marriage Question to Miss California
Last night, Kristen Dalton was crowned Miss USA.
While the hopeful motivational speaker clearly earned the crown on her own merit, it didn't hurt when Carrie Prejean (Miss California) lost the support of one judge following her response to his question in the interview round.
Celebrity gossip blogger Perez Hilton asked Prejean for her opinion on the legalization of gay marriage.
After stumbling through an answer that included how great it is for America to give its citizens the choice of same-sex unions versus those involving the opposite sex, Prejean said she was raised to believe marriage is only between a man and a woman.
Our staff is as pro-gay marriage as we are anti-Perez Hilton, so we're equally disappointed by Miss California's reply.
