Carrie Prejean

As 2009 draws to a close, The Hollywood Gossip staff is proud and excited to present 10 finalists for its prestigious, Third Annual Celebrity of the Year award.

These stars have given us their best, their worst, their naked photos (sometimes) and their hilarious, ridiculous scandals (often). It's time for THG to pay tribute to their greatness.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at The Hollywood Gossip!

What would this traditional holiday be without family, food, football and reflection upon the things we appreciate most in life - in the case of THG, that means some of the turkeys we had the privilege of covering this year.

Hard at work writing and shilling for her new memoir, it's hard to believe that Carrie Prejean makes time for love (well, besides self-love in those nude pics and videos).

But she does. Carrie's dating NFL scrub star Kyle Boller!

The folks at Funny or Die have released a Carrie Prejean sex tape parody that will leave you laughing ... or just disturbed. Probably a combination of the two.

First and foremost, it features serious Bush loving ... George W., that is. She won't shave hers until he gets reelected. Hey, you gotta stand up for something.

You won't believe this, but Carrie Prejean's father is on the side of his daughter.

As more and more people realize what an immature, attention-starved hypocrite he spawned, Will Prejean spoke to E! News and said he didn't understand why her solo sex tape was such a big deal.

Think Shauna Sand would miss a chance to reclaim attention from someone younger, more attractive and more popular stealing her sex tape spotlight lend a hand?

With the Carrie Prejean sex tape leaked and a company lined up to sell it if she's willing, Shauna wants Carrie to get off (heh heh) her high horse and take the cash.

When it comes to the bible, Carrie Prejean is like a woman at a buffet line.

She just picks and chooses whatever satisfies her cravings... for attention!

For the record: we don't care that Carrie Prejean is against gay marriage.

We find that stance close-minded and cruel, but she's entitled to the opinion.

When it comes to Carrie Prejean, Keith Lewis isn't an unbiased source.

The Miss California President has publicly feuded with Satan's mistress his former employee and even engaged in drawn out legal wars over religious discrimination and fake boob money.

In an interview with Larry King last night, Carrie Prejean told the host: "Sarah Palin is my hero."

Incredibly, however, that was NOT the most ridiculous thing Prejean did or said during the segment!

It takes a lot to get on Donald Trump's bad side.

In May, the real estate mogul referred to Carrie Prejean as "honorable" and defended the beauty queen's risque photos as "beautiful... and, in many cases, actually lovely."

If there's one thing Carrie Prejean is more adept at than touching her private parts on camera, it's shilling for herself and her book.

Despite claims to Sean Hannity that she's humiliated over the leaking of her sex tape, Prejean appeared on The Today Show this morning and discussed... the leaking of her sex tape!
