Congratulations, Carrie Prejean. You have been seen and heard, so would you please sit down and shut up? Isn't there a clothing line somewhere this girl can attach herself to? I'm tired of her taking up space where real news could be. Whether or not you agree with Miss California's stance on homosexuality or not, you have to give her grudging props for keeping herself in the spotlight. Did she see the Miss USA crown was out of sight and decide to go for the shock factor to get the attention back on her? I don't know. I do know Perez Hilton (yuck, spit on ground) is the one who seems to have finally taken the high road, if for no other reason than he let it go. The lovely Miss Prejean is doing anything she can think of to keep herself in the public eye. When the hubbub from the pageant died down, the blond bombshell scrambled around, not biding her time on scraping up another fifteen minutes.
When The Donald didn't bite and get into a feud with this former un-known would-be starlet, she flounced off to start another spat. Can anyone else picture Miss Prejean in high school? There she is, coming down the hallway like a character in a movie, her hair swishing unbelievably over her shoulders, a herd of not-quite-as-pretty girls trailing behind as her social entourage, awestruck boys' heads turning in slow motion, as they stop conversations just to stare at the beauty queen and bask in her aura of perfection. Then when she realizes everyone turns back to what they were doing after she passes, she fakes a fall and starts to cry. Then her parents sue the school for allowing someone to lay a minuscule piece of debris on the floor, just so she, the persecuted Carried Prejean, would have some of her awesomeness scraped off. Oh please. This girl needs to get some kind of commercial going, and find a doormat of a man to marry who will put up with her drama and attention-seeking. She wrote a book, so when she reaches her sales cap with the four thousand people who also bought the Princess Diana expose, she can just move on to another little project. She appears to be slightly more intelligent than her counterparts, so I'm sure she will have no problem finding some cheesy manager who can keep her set up with car shows. Before you know it, she will have a talk show where she can discuss with her loyal viewers her innate fear of dolphins, gerr-fren.
Just as a little sidenote to this complete waste of my time, I think Miss Prejean messed up when she decided to use the Miss USA pageant to gain notoriety for any reason other than being Miss USA. Those pageant people don't seem to like scandal. They are one of the few entertainment sectors that do not appreciate the publicity they get from bad press. They like to keep things clean, and family-friendly. The little old ladies and working-class families who make up the small group of consumers who still watch the event do not want Playboy playtoys feuding with loud-mouthed gay boys. The fascination Western culture has with the feuds and drama of celebrities has been purposefully kept out of the professional pageant circuit. Pageant moms could not logically defend living vicariously through their daughters' lives if those same daughters were being primed to pose for gentlemen's magazines.
Ok, so here's my disclaimer. I'm not your typical frumpy beauty queen hater. I don't usually care about this stuff, I'm into politics and things that actually affect the lives of people who don't make a living looking like Barbie. I actually think the women are beautiful, and I'm happy for the people who get to use the pageant for bettering their lives in the way of college scholarships and such. But I don't hate Mylie Cyrus, or Brittany or any of those other silly girls who have no consequence on my life whatsoever until they raise the price of their little girls' line of jeans at Wal-Mart. I just wanted to declare that to give my diatribe some credibility and remove myself from the association with overweight people with bad skin who don't wash their hair or pluck their uni-brow and sit around hating people who care to bathe and go outside.
Anyway, until all this garbage surfaced I wasn't aware of the difference between the Miss USA pageant and the Miss America pageant. Apparently the difference is the Miss USA pageant is spelled U-S-A, and the Miss America pageant is spelled A-M-E-R-I-C-A. Like Miss Prejean herself said, it's a beauty pageant. Monopoly only pays you $10 if you win, remember? I'm sincerely fed up with watching this woman take up time when I could be finding out about health care of the war on terrorism. I think this is about all I have to say about it 'til I really get fed up and send Fox News a scathing letter requesting that they puh-leeze report on something besides Carrie Prejean, when quite frankly, I cannot imagine I am the only logically thinking person who just does not give a crap who she is suing or forgiving or loving, or lunching with or signing a book deal with or posing for. Yep, that's it.
