Ms. California Keeps Crown

Miss USA pageant co-owner Donald Trump announced that despite the controversy over her stand on gay marriage and racy pre-pageant photos that have surfaced, Carrie Prejean will retain the title of Miss California USA. Trump also commended Prejean for speaking her mind about same-sex marriage during the Miss USA Pageant.

“We’ve reviewed the pictures carefully. We are in the 21st century and I talked about relevance,” Trump told a packed press conference in Trump Tower Tuesday morning. “Carrie’s a model … We’ve made a determination that the pictures taken were acceptable, they’re fine, in many cases they’re very lovely pictures and in some cases they’re modeling pictures.”

Following his announcement, the controversial Miss USA runner-up thanked him as well as her supporters and, in an impassioned and sometimes tearful speech, blamed opponents of her social stands for circulating the photos and attacking her. Gay activists, on the other hand, are outraged, having failed at their efforts to leak photographs and punish the woman who spoke out against their agenda. Perez Hilton, the gossip blogger and Miss USA judge who started the controversy by asking Prejean for her views on gay marriage, expressed immediate anger on his Web site over Trump's decision.

“The Donald says that all the topless photos that have leaked are no big deal. He did not touch upon the many ways that Carrie Prejean has broken her contract with the Miss USA pageant …WTF????” Hilton posted.
