The President feels the same way about marriage….and he's still the President. Get over it. Bet next time you think before you ask a loaded question….if you're EVER asked to judge again. You showed more a** than any one of the girls in the swimsuit catagory ever showed!!!
Seriously, I am sick and tired of the miss California situation..stop posting about it…no one cares anymore……shes an idiot…we get it….shes a bigot…we get it….now move on…its boring.
Good for her.
I do not understand why so many people come on here to talk bad about Perez or slew rude comments… hello it is HIS site! Go somewhere else if you don't like him… and by the way even though Miss California kept her crown she does not represent all of us in California including myself. I am a heterosexual married woman, and I do not fault her for answering the question honestly or for her opinion; however she has isolated many Californians now by going on such a vigilant attack against same sex marriage… a state title holder should represent all of California and its diversity and acceptance not only her personal opinion.
More and more states are legalizing gay marriage everyday
No matter what this whores opinion is
Re: yohan – The soldiers in Iraq are fighting for our right to free speech? BWAHAHAHA!

Hey, MARIO…. er, I mean PEEEEEE-rez, I'd tell ya to go fuck yourself….. but you've already DONE that!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
GOOD FOR HER!!!!
I'm so happy for Carry!
Perez, you've lost, now get over it, get off your soapbox and post some great celebrity gossip.
WHO WROTE HER SPEECH?
Perez, I love your site & read it every day. But she is RIGHT. She stated an honest opinion, her own beliefs. She did not say anyone else must believe the same as her. The photos of her are not big deal. And if they took her crown away they must take away the other girl who appeared in Maxim, or else it would be a double standard. I'm proud of her for standing up and sticking with her beliefs, and she forgave you Perez. I still luv u, but it is now time to leave her alone.
I love that speech. I am proud of her for staying strong through this.
ummmmm ummmmm ummmmmmmm ummmmmmm
What a load of crap. She's all for denying people rights - but wants to play the victim card? Too funny. And whats this big fat lie she's telling about remaining "silent" during the media storm? She hasnt shut up about it for even 5 minutes…. Her integrity is as real as her boobs.
I dont understand the people that belive this.
I respect her opinion.
But she diden't wright shit of this speech, someone wrote it for her…
Re: KayKayKay – Too bad it's becoming legal in more and more states
First of all, you showed your lack of professionalism by trying to trip her up with such a question to start with. (That should not have even been a plausible question for the competition.) Second, you showed your lack of ethics because her answer to your specific question was what drove your vote. Last, you showed your immaturity and insecurity by making such a big issue out of the whole situation.
Hate crimes go both ways whether the bill passed in congress says so or not. Gay people can hate just as much as straight people and can be wrong and react wrong in their actions because of that hatred. You simply proved this fact once again…….. Action accomplishes so much more than a reaction!
The wind just blew her top off! That happens to me all the time!!!
Perez I think she was talking about you..
Good for her. She spoke her freedom of speech.
Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LMAO! Very weak applause at the end
If your going to take someone crown away for posing nude the year they were crowned than there should be a rule that if they pose nude anytime after there reign is over they will also lose there crown!
Is this the United States? (check) Do we live under the first amendment, which is freedom of speech? (check) Was Carrie asked her OPINION on gay marriage? (check) Hey people! The last time I CHECKED this is the USA.. where WE have freedom of speech and OPINION!! Just because it is HER OPINION that marriage should be between a woman and a man doesn't mean she's a villian! Funny that Perez and others will try to turn the tables on her, what HYPOCRITS!!!! P.S. I don't like the color BLUE. That's my OPINION!!!
You would think that someone who won the title of Miss California would be a more eloquent public speaker. "I'm not an activist… or anything." Yeah, you're right, you don't do ANYTHING of value.
And I'm not buying that those nude pictures were taken without her knowing. Just fess up, it would be way more respectable to just admit that you took some slutty pictures than to be stumbling over your lies in a press conference. She should be dethroned for the simple fact that she can barely string a coherent sentence together.
No matter what happened DISCRMINATION is wrong and everyone that supports it should be ashamed in themselves!
two thumbs up. she is so right. judge number 8 was on a smear campaign. No she hasn't done her duties right now of Miss CA but how can she with you spewing your hatred.
Way to go Carrie! I'm so glad Donald Trump is allowing her to keep her crown. Honestly Perez, throwing a royal bitch fit because someone doesn't agree with you only hinders your chances of gaining what you want. Carrie is a true inspiration in that she's keeping to her beliefs through the media firestorm that's harassing her.
she makes me so sick! she can't even read from a paper correctly! aaaaaaaggghhhhhh…
It's amazing how much homophobia is in the world now, and it's turning into an all out war, which we will fight for as long as it takes to succeed. We will reach the top and have equality, and more people will be educated on different lifestyles. This girl is very ignorant with her narrow-minded view, it's from lack of education, lack of experience in gay culture, and her abundance in religious brainwashing.
colt art studio dot ning dot com
I believe in civil rights for all. I believe in equality for marriage and I believe in the right of free speech. I don't agree with her opinions on gay marriage, but I believe in the right she has to state her beliefs. Everyone has a right to their beliefs and should not be belittled for it.
love ya perez but i think you have been 2 harsh on her. that was a great speech she gave. !!!
She might have a right to her opinion, but we have a right to educate her of the FACTS, which we will do !!! The gay culture of great people is not an opinion, it's a FACT, and we deserve equal rights, she will learn, and also all you homophobes !!!
ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Perez has been made a fool of again! His filthy bitter lying campaign backfired! Prejean's comments are exactly like Messiah Obama's and Preez will not acknowledge that! His Messiah hates gay marriage too! ROTFLMAO! Democrats are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO stupid when they do not holding their leaders accountable too!
Perez, no offense but you sabotaged Prejean's title by asking her an innappropriate, politically charged question. It has been bothering me for weeks that you are crucifying her image to justify your own actions, all the while your mean actions transparently reveal your gulity conceince for doing so. Beauty queens are role models, not politicians, and although I too disagree with her opinions I still support that her platform of free speech. You caught Miss. California in a vulnerable situation and shame on you, because If it were President Obama on that stage, I guarantee you would have not embarrassed him so, although he believes the same thing. By burying the hatchet you will also diplomatically show that you are also a kind queen.
Trump loves the attention, now moving on this woman's "beliefs" are dying out that is because people are getting more educated and creating their own BELIEFS. Not letting a bible or ignorant people stuff their brains, with ignorant beliefs. Perez is a very smart person whether you like him or not. He is on top and well liked, while this little girl will not answer questions truthfully and covers up her ass all the time. All I heard was complaining about how she was attacked well guess what I'm sure that's not HALF of what HOMOSEXUALS have to put up with because of IGNORANT people like her. Gay people cannot change who they are just like JEWS could not help but being Jewish and were murdered by NAZI's along with GAY people may I add! But yes we live in America and just to let you know there are nationwide polls that state more and MORE people claim they do not have a RELIGION and AGREE with same sex legal union MARRIAGE. That is because we are making our own decisions, views and we can believe whatever the hell we want. Not what some little girl decided to push on everyone.
Meh. It's her belief, we've ALL got ours. Do I agree with it? Nah but I don't care for her either so whatever. She's just annoying lol.
There is no way she should have been able to keep her crown. Gee, I wonder how she convinced Trump to let her keep it…. She is such a hypocrite: preaching out of one side of her mouth and lying out the other. The lies alone should have been enough to take her crown away, not to mention all the breaches of her contract and the pictures that have surfaced. She said she only posed topless once, now more pictures are out. So how many more are out there that we just haven't seen yet? She's supposed to represent her entire state, not just those in the state who believe what she does. Being allowed to keep her crown is a crime and Trump should be embarrassed by his decision.
well you can bet trump is sleeping with this dumb bitch
Wow, this is the first time I have every left a message about anything on this site (which i love so much
…
I have gay friends, I live in boystown, and attend the gay pride parade. I think that life is to short to judge ANYONE. Gay marriage isn't pointless any more than straight marraige is. (feralix) Straights can get married 52 times, once every weekend in vegas if they wanted to, but two men or women can't do it once. Straight people have made a mockary out of marraige so why do we want to hold on to something we clearly don't respect ourselves.
The whole thing is rediculous. We have rewritten the rules a million times for every other social issue…This will be no different. It is human nature to grow, learn and evolve. We just elected a black president and had a woman run. Let's not stop while we are ahead!!!
As for Carrie, I don't agree with her answer, but I also don't agree that you (perez) really give a crap about those pictures.
People can't help the way they were born/feel. Anyone who wastes anytime in their lives trying to hold back another individual will only be holding back themselves in the long run. A Civil Union is not a marraige. People that are afraid of marraige getting 'redefined' are afraid that their marraige already dosn't work for them and that the ring on their finger is the only thing holding them together. If you really love your husband or wife then someone else's love/title won't effect that.

What's really sad about this is that, while she has a great point– that we all have to agree to disagree on some things– she has the delusion that those freedoms and that constitution that her grandfather fought for only belong to the religious majority. That's what infuriates me. Believe whatever you want and stand up for those beliefs– but respect the fact that not everyone believes the same way. America was founded to protect the minority from the majority. But now that the minority has become the majority, they're starting the persecution all over again.
Re: Hubris – She never said that she does not like gays. She just said that the marriage should be between a man and a woman. Those are two different things.
HA HA HA HA HA HA. Me cago de la risa por q t dieron un cucharĂ³n de tu propio chocolate!! La vdd Pereza es q todo lo q tratas de defender de la comunidad gay, lo Ăºnico q logras es hundirlo aĂºn mĂ¡s. Esta es una prueba mĂ¡s de q aunke te leamos todos los dĂas, estĂ¡s muy, pero muy lejos de ser un lĂder de opiniĂ³n. Confundes entretener con guĂar. Sorry perra.
suck it, perez. she just showed your hideous nasty self up
Well I do actually like her speech. Though I do not agree with her regarding her beliefs they are at the end of the day…her beliefs. By criticizing her for having her own we in turn are oppressing others the way we have been. She was right in saying she has the right to believe what she wants, as are we. By not allowing her to speak her mind we become the enemy that we have been fighting against.
I dont really honestly care who the hell is the miss california pagent queen anyway its not as though she is going home and curing cancer or passing laws. Shes a pretty blonde girl who gets to where a sash and crown. Let her be..and can we all move on from this please??
If The Donald wasn't going to kick off the tara o'connor drunk coke head or whatever why would he kick her off? He loved dragging this on and on for days just like Perez.
Anyway both of you made her the star attraction that she is today so kiss yourself a big wet one!
Hahaha wow… shes so FAKE and such a hypocrite! She doesnt belive in gay marraige and doesnt think god appoves of that BUT she thinks God would apporve of her allowing somone taking and submitting nude photographs of herself to better her modeling career? does she think gods ofkay with her expoliting her body to make money? are you fucking kidding me? this bitch is a fuckin joke and if she really is trying to be honest and speak from her heart she would say…"yes i took naked photos so i would be able to become rich and famous …im tryin to be a snot and act like i belive in only a man and woman being married cuz thats the exceptable answer to say and im fake and my titties arent real." hahaha wow some role model for kids and what a great represenative of california! YOUR A JOKE!!!!
LOL Perez Hilton you have been reduced to a fire hydrant! Trump spoke of relevance…Hilton you're not relevant - you're a hater of the US. Leave immediately!
Mario L aka Perezhilton: Just because she didn't gave the answer you wanted you begin this hate war…..you complain about hate to minorities and you are the biggest promoter to hate as your flag to gain your ideals, please THINK and leave the girl in peace.
Re: TX_independence – shut up you stupid christian loving yuppy
Re: fulanito –
You wish she was a whore…so you could spend your wages from your minimal wage job on her.
one word - starts with C ends with T…
It's the same answer the president of the United States gave, the same president you fought so hard to get elected. She spoke beautifully and was extremely respectful, unlike you have been. Stop spreading your political agenda.
Homophobic biatch.
So Carrie won the war, Perez is still a loser, there's still no gay marriage in California and now Perez is sucking on The Donald to get a spot for next year's Miss USA
Twitter: Thanks, Donald. I'd love to be back next year!
Hahahaha what a pathetic loser Perez!
No, Quite the opposite…..she doesn't need to think before she speaks….IT IS A BEAUTY COMPETITION PEOPLE….IS THE DEBATE COMPETITION? NEO! IS IT the BEST SPEECH COMPETITION? NEO! It is ultimately a BEAUTY competition….and to expect anything more out of that woman's mouth is completely unfair. If you don't want the truth…don't ask the question. You may not like what you hear.
I don't even agree with her, but it doesn't matter, she has the right to answer the questions as she sees fit. Fake? No way, that girl could have faked that question. She has been trained since birth how to skirt politically driven questions. You think she just made that answer up out of thin air on the fly??? WOW, I thought you guys were smarter than that.
Now, can we all play nice for a while?
I don't think its apporpriate to hate anyone. period.
She never SAID however, that she "hates gays" etc. She simply stated what she believes in. I do NOT find that to be offensive. I'm not a gay - but I wouldn't find it to be offensive if a gay guy said "I think marriage should be between a man and a man only" either.
I think the grater population of haters need to grow up aand get over it. Hate is the only thing that I find to be driving this campaign against her, and it's very unbecoming.
Miss California, I do not hate you.
Perez, I don't hate you either, but I think you were wrong in launching a campaign to destory this womans image because she doesnt agree with you.
Very well said Carrie. Not once has she stooped to the level of the people who have been out to get her. PEREZ, SHANNA MOAKLER AND KEITH LEWIS should take notes and learn from Carrie.
Good for her!!!
You asked her a legitmate question! Seriously… she said it was so you can further ur career in the media… LIKE REALLY? Yes… im sure that was ur intention. Not. The media will make of it what they want, as always. You did nothing wrong perez.
people aren't getting it. PEREZ was NOT asking for her to be dethroned becaue of her answer, but because if nude pictures which surfaced that were AGAINST her contract.. like why the hell doesn't anyone get it, she went against a signed contract.. contracts are supposed to be legally binding.. so if she went against it why does she have her crown? it doesn't make any sense
YOU GO CARRIE! Persistence in the good pays off. And as for you, PRICKerez, you cock-sucking pig's anus, maybe you should think about KARMA the next time to attempt to destroy someone. Good luck with that.
AMEN SISTER!! Perez - your little bullying plan didn't work. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Is this pop culture freak related to Anita Bryant?
It is the same answer Obama gave. I don't remember any of the sheep having a problem with that.
Why do you think you're the only person that has the right to have an opinion? You asked her a question. She answered you honestly. You publicly blast her. You expect her not to react? I am by NO means a gay basher. One of my very best friends is gay. I, however, agree with Carrie. Marriage, in my opinion should be between a man and a woman. So you should probably stfu if you want her to stop gaining momentum for her movement, because your only making more people support her.
Did you really expect anything different from Donald Trump? She is a clone of his past wives!!
i guess this is the new anita bryant of this generation; unfortunately she lives in our state rather than florida or utah. I wonder when she will start promoting right to life and other conservative messages. this woman is playing politics rather than doing her silly little duties as miss california. she does remind me of elizabeth berkely in showgirls, just not as smart. dont be surprised to see her in a photo op with palin in alaska. they two peas in a conservative hateful pod.
wtf?! diD they put silicone on her brain too?? i just wasted 9 minutes of my life listening to this "strOng wOman" aka stUpid bitch!! the tRump should have detroned her. shame on her! …and she stiill talking that shit about "her believes" doesn't she know that she represents a whole statee? DUMB BITCH!!
YOU GO GIRL!
She cleaned your clock and she did so with grace and dignity.
Re: Frenchriver – Wow your a retard
So many of these comments are completely stupid and nonsense. I dont even think people are understanding the situation. Her crown was never in jeopardy for what she said. Her crown was in jeopardy for her lying and nude pictures. Its just like a Christian to lie and judge and to pose nude. With all the media hype on "sexting", I do think she should have been dethroned, she is not a good role model, and I hope one of her kids is gay one day. Then she will see that rights should be given to EVERYONE!
Disgusting bitch, don't care to watch her dumb speech. Can't believe this hot mess represents California. Donald Trump is a tool always has been.
And if I were you Mario, I wouldn't go after Trump. Unless of course you like negative publicity. Because Trump won't be as dignified as Carrie was, ask Rosie what happens when you diss the Donald.
Re: cookies. – Freedom of speech carries responsibility, too. When your speech and actions offend others, you don't blame those to whom offense was given. And you don't make tearful speeches about being "punished" for the stupid shit you say and do.
I am so happy for Miss California. Ha ha ha to Perez Hilton. Perez you are so laughable because you are pathetic. I think it's time that the media comes after you for your dumb remark. You need to grow up and get a life - A straight life.
Perez, I love your website…and you seem pretty cool. However you really handled the whole thing completely wrong and made yourself look like an idiot. You are also not helping gay rights as you are making them look like idiots. I fully believe in gay marriage but that is my opinion just as Miss California's opinion is that she does not believe in it. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion and if you want to be respected out there you have to respect others NO MATTER WHAT. You can respectfully disagree (respectfully being the keyword there). You started all this bs about and gave her so much shit for something she has the right to say. I don't think people should take any human being's rights away from them, however I do believe that everyone is entitled to believe in whatever they want to believe in. She was raised a certain way and has the right to believe what she was taught just as you have the right to believe in whatever you want.
That's all, on that note, I hope you find the strength to recognize your errors, get over yourself, and apologize to her. At least drop it and stop bringing stuff up about her. She's only human and you have the power to make the whole world think a certain way about someone, its not fair to the people you talk about(like miss cali).
have a lovely day.
Mario just got pwned
ON YO FACE, MARIO!!!
Re: *mizzkitty* – you really need to think before you reply
She fucking rules! I can so picture you Perez crying in the little corner because you didn't get your way!
Trump calls it right again! PEREZ, YOUR FIRED!!!
Good for Prejean, I've been behind her from day one! You were a bully and an ass, Mario. She won, you lost.
Re: youngbreezy – Well said
ohhhh hellll nooo I saw this today in the morning and it made my blood boil, how dare she be a fucking idiot!, she talks about women empowerment wtf ur an idiot so does prancing around in a bikini raise women empowerment, fuck you! I thought miss usa's were supposed to be role models with openly views?????? I love the state of California with all my heart but fuck what a dissapointment. I bet she fucked Donald Trump, I mean Donald Tramp…
I don't want to call you names for your beliefs but apparantly that is how you live your life. That is a shame thats how your are but I guess from all the cock you've taken in your ass it has screwed up where your brain is at. Everyone has the right to their own opinion as so do you but when someone differs from your beliefs you took it to a different level which was not warranted. If anything you've done it was to show that everyone who believes as you do can't be tolerant even when your asking for it. Is this the way you want your movement to be looked upon when asking for diversity at the same time condeming diversity with your actions and evil comments. You as a (I use it loosely) celebrity to foster opinions to further your agenda, I would think you would have agreed to disagree and leave it at that but you made a real (pardon the pun) asshole of yourself. This movement is not about what the people want it is just about want you all want even if it goes against the norm. 5 out of Fifty agree with you but lets put it to a national vote instead of a state vote and I bet you and your's will lose. Here in florida the only place that voted for the ammendment was Key West. Wow majority and normallcy wins. Gods design wins and the faithfull shall not bow down to the wicked.
the best was when she was like "the wind was blowing exposing my book and i was unaware that someone took the pictre!" LAMO!!!! DOES SHE THINK WE ARE ALL STOOOPID??!
Donald is such a loser…. and it's not just Perez giving her hell… it's most intelligent people.
Women empowerment? Really??? I didn't know that feminists are in to showing their titties off to the entire world. Please, this bitch is such a shallow ho bag. LOL
Wow Perez Captain Combover really really spanked you and doubt if you will get a chance to judge anything again,but maybe a Spam sculpting contest or a foreskin beauty contest.
don't care
HURRAY FOR TRUMP …. HURRAY YOU MADE HER FAMOUS .. HURRAY SHE SPOKE FROM HER HEART AS DID OUR PRESIDENT AND DONALD TRULMP ABOUT MARRIAGE IS BETWEEN A MAN AND WOMAN. GO home Perez, you have NO credibility and you are a laughing stock.
Mario, this was a business decision from day one fro Trump.. Prejean is in… and you my dear, are out!
I guess the contracts they sign don't mean jack. She had nude pics out there PERIOD! Why is she allowed to keep her title wasn't Tara Connor bad enough. Why did Vanessa Williams have to give her crown back? Does this make any sense? Guess we should get used to coke snorting slutty naked hypocrite lying bitches to represent. Way to go Trump, dumb ass.
She has a right to what she believes. Most of California agrees with her too. Perez, you lose.
Re: youngbreezy – nicely put.
Can you imagine what the outrage would have been if a judge with a conservative slant asked the same question, the contestant came out in favor of gay marriage, and the judge gave her low scores because of her answer? The judge would have been burned at the stake, and Perez would be the first in line to douse the flames with gasoline!
Consider yourself lucky there is such a massive double standard in this country Perez.
