Carrie Prejean Nearly Walks Off "Larry King Live"

Carrie Prejean appeared on "Larry King Live" on Wednesday night. That's only part of the story, as she nearly walked off after King pressed her about the reasons she dropped her lawsuit against the Miss California pageant, which we all know is because they showed a "solo" sex tape of hers they had uncovered.

Prejean said she has been "Palinized." As she said, that means:
KING: You characterize yourself as being Palinized. What do you mean?

PREJEAN: Well, you look at Sarah Palin and Congresswoman, you know, Michele Bachmann, they are relentlessly, you know, torn down by the liberal media. I mean, they're wonderful women. They're intelligent. They're great mothers. They're brilliant. And yet there's this double standard that conservative women are fair game to be attacked. And it's not right. And it needs to stop.
Interesting comment on Bachmann and Palin being intelligent. Sarah Palin didn't even know Africa was a continent. Michele Bachmann has made some strange statements in the past, including contributing to the "death panel" craziness around health insurance reform.

Later in the show, after Prejean told him his questions about the settlement were inappropriate, Prejean removed her mike in what seemed to be preparation to walk orfstage. Here's the transcript:
KING: Did you hear the question, Carrie? Did she hear the question? Is she leaving because I asked what motivated the settlement?

PREJEAN: Excuse me?

KING: Did you hear the question?

PREJEAN: No, I can't hear you.

KING: You took the mike off. You put the mike on, you can hear.

PREJEAN: I think you're being extremely inappropriate right now. And I'm about to leave your show.

KING: Well, so I went to another area. I took a phone call. They asked a question of you. I left that subject. You feel it was inappropriate? I didn't mean to be inappropriate. I just thought it was a logical question. But you need to have a mike. Who are you talking to?

Hello? We'll be back right after these messages on LARRY KING LIVE.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

KING: We're back with Carrie Prejean. I did not certainly mean to ask you a question -- you don't want to take phone calls, right?

PREJEAN: Yes, that was the agreement that you had with my publicist.

KING: No one told me. I didn't know we weren't supposed to take phone calls. And I meant nothing of the question.
Interesting that Prejean didn't want to take phone calls. Why not?

Also, more information has emerged about Prejean's sex tape. While she has tried to say it was done when she was 17, TMZ has spoken to her former boyfriend, and that the video in question was sent when she was 20. Additionally, he indicated she sent him numerous explicit videos.

Well, the good thing about all this is that Prejean is well along with the normal GOP sex scandals, if she wants to pursue a political career.

Watch Prejean on "LKL."

Prejean: Sextape "Biggest Mistake Of My Life"

Carrier Prejean's sextape, which effectively ended her lawsuit against the Miss California pageant, has been called the "biggest mistake of my life" by the former beauty queen. She appeared on Seah Hannity's Fox News show last night, discussing the issue, and stating the tape was made for her boyfriend at the time.

Wait, a Prejean sextape would intimate that the two were having pre-marital sex. Naughty, naughty, Miss Family Values.

Prejean dropped her lawsuit against the pageant after officials and lawyers brought out the tape and showed it to her, and to her mother, who happened to be in attendance.

Carrie Prejean's 85 minutes of fame began when she famously told Perez Hilton during the Miss USA pageant that she was against same-sex marriage. She didn't win, and accused judges of voting against her for that reason.

Then began a contentious relationship with the Miss California pageant as she openly attended anti-same-sex marriage events and filmed anti-same-sex marriage ads, as well as missing Miss California pageant authorized events. Semi-nude photos of her (with a slight Prejean nipple-slip) were also brought to light.

Prejean discussed the sextape on "The Today Show" today as well. On the show, she sandi news of the sextape is just another part of a seven-month-old "campaign to try and silence me."

When asked by host Meredith Vieira why she dropped her $1 million lawsuit against Miss California USA, she wouldn't elaborate, saying she's "not allowed" to discuss the particulars of the matter.

Report: Prejean's Mother Viewed Sex Tape That Ended Lawsuit "Hopes"

Previously, I wrote that Carrie Prejean, the former Miss California and anti-same-sex marriage activist, dropped her lawsuit against the Miss California pageant. She dropped it after being shown (for reportedly 15 seconds) a XXX-rated solo sex tape featuring Prejean that had been obtained by the Miss C. pageant's lawyers.

It's now reported that not only did Carrie Prejean see that tape, her mother was in the room during the "viewing," and saw the tape as well. Previously, her mother, Francine Coppola, had been accused of having a lesbian relationship, so perhaps the viewing wasn't all that shocking, or hypocritical.

Despite her family values stance, some have called Prejean a hypocrite for getting a boob job and posing for semi-nude photos as well.

Carrie Prejean's Lawsuit Ended by Sex Tape

Earlier this week, former Miss California Carrie Prejean and the Miss California pageant ended their differences, settling their respective lawsuits. What's most interesting, however, is why Prejean agreed to settling: a sex tape showing the family values former Miss C. in compromising positions.

TMZ noted that it took Carrie Prejean about 15 seconds to agree to settle. In the settlement, her lawyers and publicist will receive $100,000; she will receive nothing.

TMZ also indicated they had received this same sex tape months ago, but thought it was too graphic, and thus decided not to post it. They did indicate Prejean has a promising "solo" career, so you can probably figure out what that means yourself.

Some have called Carrier Prejean both an opportunist and a hypocrite. While most runners-up in the Miss USA pageant disappear, she stayed on the radar, based on her anti same-sex marriage answer to Perez Hilton at the pageant.

It was also revealed that she had posed previously in semi-nude photos, which she should have noted on her pre-contest entry form. She also received breast implants gifted to her from the pageant.

We'll see where she goes with this now. Although they didn't indicate as such, perhaps TMZ can point Prejean to a Vivid Video rep, or something.

Miss California Pageant: Give Us Back Your Boob Job Money, Carrie

Miss California Pageant officials have decided that if former Miss California Carrie Prejean is going to sue them, they might as well get their breast implant investment back. Prejean filed suit in August, saying she was stripped of her crown for religious discrimination reasons. The pageant has asserted the Prejean missed event she was required to attend.

Carrie Prejean filed the suit in Los Angeles County Superior Court. The filing accused Miss California USA officials Keith Lewis and Shanna Moakler, as well as publicist Roger Neal of religious discrimination, defamation, public disclosure of private facts, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligent infliction of emotional distress.

At the time, Carrie Prejean's attorney, Charles LiMandri, said in a news release, "We will make the case that her title was taken from her solely because of her support of traditional marriage."

A countersuit filed by K2 Publications, says that the former beauty queen still owes the organization $5,200 for the boob job. The suit indicates that Prejean asked for the augmentation to be more competitive, and agree to repay the loan.

The countersuit stated:
"She attempts to cast herself as a virtuous young woman and the victim in a supposed conspiracy against her/ Had she heeded the guidance of the Gospel of John, who admonished only those who are without sin to cast stones in judgment, she might have avoided this legal battle."
Pageant co-director Keith Lewis said in a statement Monday:
"We are saddened by the necessity to file a counterclaim today against Carrie Prejean. We are continuing to prepare for our upcoming telecast of the Miss California USA pageant on November 22, but the integrity of the Miss California USA organization and the values it represents requires us to respond and present the truth. Our claim is not about financial reward, and all profits awarded will be donated to a charity that promotes the values of our organization."
Carrie Prejean achieved her 5 minutes of fame when, in the Miss USA pageant, she responded to a question by Perez Hilton about same-sex marriage by saying:
"Well, I think it's great that Americans are able to choose one or the other. We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage. And you know what, in my country, in 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."
As one of the runners-up in the Miss USA pageant, she would normally have disappeared off the map, but she followed that with appearances at anti-same-sex marriage events as well as an anti-same-sex marriage ad, keeping her visible in the public eye.

Former Miss California Carrie Prejean Files Suit for Religious Discrimination

According to the Miss California pageant, and its parent the Miss USA pageant, Carrie Prejean was "fired" because she was missing events that she was supposed to attend. Prejean disagrees, and her newly-filed lawsuit says it was all about religious discrimination.

Carrie Prejean filed the suit in Los Angeles County Superior Court. The filing accuses Miss California USA officials Keith Lewis and Shanna Moakler, as well as publicist Roger Neal of religious discrimination, defamation, public disclosure of private facts, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligent infliction of emotional distress.

Carrie Prejean's attorney, Charles LiMandri, said in a news release, "We will make the case that her title was taken from her solely because of her support of traditional marriage."

Carrie Prejean made a big splash when, in the Miss USA pageant, she responded to a question by Perez Hilton about same-sex marriage by saying:
"Well, I think it's great that Americans are able to choose one or the other. We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage. And you know what, in my country, in 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."
Interestingly, Donald Trump, who owns the Miss Universe Organization, and thus Miss USA and Miss California, is not named in the suit.

In her suit, Carrie Prejean says the Miss California people "fabricated a fraudulent list of some 50 public appearances allegedly missed by Prejean which they released to the media in order to justify her termination as Miss California USA." Additionally, Prejean claims officials also tried to "set up Prejean to have her dismissed as Miss California USA by asking her to do a Playboy photo shoot for $120,000."
