Caressa Cameron, , a 22 year old from Fredericksburg, Virginia, beat out 52 other contestants and was crowned Miss America.

In addition to the crown, Miss Virginia won a $50,000 scholarship.

Miss California, Kristy Cavinder, was runner up.

Do you think Miss Virginia was the right choice?  Who would you have chosen?

Radaronline is reporting that former Miss California, Carrie Prejean, made the “biggest mistake” of her life not just once, but eight times.

In addition to the eight sex tapes there are also 30 photos all taken by Carrie herself using her reflection in the mirror.  Most of the pictures are of her topless, but some do show everything.

I can’t wait to see what she has to say about this rumor.  What do you think?

Hollywood Life’s 6th Annual Hollywood Style Awards were held in Westwood, California at the Hammer Museum on Sunday evening, where the red carpet was exploding with celebrities and style!

Check out our interviews with Lauren Conrad, Melody Thornton, Cheryl Burke, Miss California and more below:

Earlier this morning it was reported that ex- Miss California, Carrie Prejean, filed a lawsuit against pageant officials Keith Lewis and Shanna Moakler for religious discrimination, defamation, public disclosure of private facts, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligent infliction of emotional distress.

Carrie Prejean was dethroned June 10th as Miss California for posing topless on two seperate occasions and lying about it in her Miss California contract.

According to Carrie, Miss California officials “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” and 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.”

In response, Moakler’s attorney, Mel Avanzado, has issued a statement:

“On Ms. Moakler’s behalf, I can say unequivocally that Ms. Prejean’s lawsuit is without merit. More importantly, as everyone who watched or read her public statements is well aware, Ms. Prejean’s unfortunate and bigoted statements are responsible for any public humiliation or damages to her reputation that she has claimed to have suffered. Ms. Moakler strenuously denies that she did anything wrong and looks forward to proving that in a court of law.”

Keith Lewis said:

“I would guess Carrie sees it as a chance to get publicity for her upcoming book because in the interviews I have seen, she talks about the suit and the book in the same breath. We have no problem with her selling lots of books- considering in the current situation we could stand to profit from every single copy she sells.”

What do you think about Carrie’s lawsuit?

Popeater reports that Miss Stripped-of-Her-Crown Carrie Prejean is ready to share her side of the scandalous pageant story about her persecution by liberals and the media in a book called “Still Standing.”

Prejean blames her down fall on her opposition to gay marriage and the “unprecedented personal attacks” that came shortly after.

It continues: “But the 22-year-old won the respect of millions for modeling something other than evening gowns and swimsuits — the courage of standing up for her convictions.”

Miss California, Carrie Prejean, has gotten on Donald Trump’s last nerve. The guy does everything in his power to make sure Carrie keeps her crown and title. He gets hounded by the media, by pageant staff and by judges for not letting Carrie go after she violated her contract for having pictures taken of her partially nude.

“This was a business decision, based solely on contract violations,” one of the producers of the Miss California USA pageant, K2 Productions, said in the documents obtained by FOX News. “After our press conference in New York we had hoped we would be able to forge a better working relationship. However, since that time it has become abundantly clear that Carrie has no desire to fulfill her obligations under our contract and work together.”

“I told Carrie she needed to get back to work and honor her contract with the Miss California USA Organization and I gave her the opportunity to do so,” said Trump. “Unfortunately, it just doesn’t look like it is going to happen.

“Carrie is a beautiful young woman and I wish her well as she pursues her other interests,” said The Donald in true Trump fashion.

Listen to her exclusive post-uncrowned interview with Billy Bush on 1043 MY FM.

Despite her nude photos being leaked over in the Net, Donald Trump, as the owner of the Miss USA pageant organization and the Miss Universe pageant, is allowing Miss California USA to keep her pageant title and crown.

Trump said, “We reviewed the pictures very carefully. We are in the 21st century. … Carrie’s a model, she’s very successful. … Some were beautiful, some were risqué. … We’ve determined the pictures taken were acceptable, fine, and in many cases they were very lovely pictures.”

Prejean took the podium after Trump made his decision public and she made a tearful speech, bringing her religion to the forefront in the context of her comments.  She said that the second and third sets of topless photos were photoshopped.   She reaffirmed her commitment to the Miss California organization and will serve out her reign.

Carrie also addressed the answer she gave to Perez Hilton during the Miss USA pageant when she said she believes marriage is between a man and a woman.

“Three weeks ago I was asked a politically charged question with a hidden personal agenda,” Carrie said. “I was given a question asking for my opinion and I stated my personal belief. Immediately after the pageant, judge no. 8 began a cultural fire storm in the media … he was trying to be self promoting and hateful. On April 19 on that stage, I exercised my freedom of speech I was punished for doing so. This should not happen in America.”

In an interesting side note, Prejean’s high school wants to honor her.  According to Trustee Jim Gibson of the Vista Unified School District

in Southern California, they want to make June 1, 2009 ‘Carrie Prejean Day’. The school board will take a vote at their May 14 meeting to honor the 2005 Vista High School graduate.

Gibson said, “We’re setting her up as an example.  As far as I’m concerned, she’s a great role-model and she’s a person who needs to be emulated.”

There has been a lot of speculation going around about whether Miss USA winner, Carrie Prejean,  should lose her crown and pagent title due to her leaked semi-nude photos. Pageant directors Keith Lewis and Shanna Moakler have been in closed-door meetings all day yesterday deciding Carrie’s fate. And they are saying that the picture in not the only reason why Carrie may be stripped of her crown.

Poponthepop.com reports: 

Carrie had signed a 12-page contract that prohibits Miss California from making personal appearances, giving interviews or making commercials without permission from pageant officials, in other words Carrie has done everything that she was not supposed to do!

In the last two weeks, Prejean, 21, has made televised appearances at her local church in San Diego and on behalf of the National Organization for Marriage, a group opposed to same-sex marriage.

The contract also contains a clause asking participants to acknowledge whether they have conducted themselves “in accordance with the highest ethical and moral standards.” As an example, it asks if they have ever been photographed nude or partially nude.

“As you can see from the contract, she violated multiple items,” Neal said in a statement to the Associated Press.

Prejean, however, insisted the pics were just modeling shots and that she was only 17 years old – a minor – when they were taken.

And in other news with Carrie, it has been confirmed that the Miss USA Pagent helped pay for Carrie’s breast implants

Huffingtonpost reports:

In an interview on “The Early Show,” Keith Lewis, the co-Director of the Miss California Pageant, admitted to helping Prejean get the boob job.

“We assisted when Carrie came to us and voiced the interest in having the procedure done,” Lewis told “Early Show” co-anchor Maggie Rodriguez.

“We want to put her in the best possible confidence in order to present herself in the best possible light on a national stage.”

What do you all think about this? Should Carrie Prejean be stripped of her crown and title? And do you think Carrie should have to pay back the money the pagent gave her for her breast implants?
