Former Miss USA, Shanna Moakler, has just resigned as co-executive director of the Miss California pageant, she has just confirmed to PerezHilton.com. Moakler just sent us the following statement: "Since the press conference yesterday, I had a chance to think about what has taken place, and I feel that at this time it is in my best interest to resign from the Miss California USA organization," states Shanna Moakler. "I can not with a clear conscious move forward supporting and promoting the Miss Universe Organization when I no longer believe in it, or the contracts I signed committing myself as a youth. I want to be a role model for young woman with high hopes of pageantry, but now feel it more important to be a role model for my children. I am sorry and hope I have not let any young supporters down but wish them the best of luck in fulfilling their dreams."

The Miss California USA pageant heads held a press conference at the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills to discuss the issues surrounding the current Miss Cali embarrassment, Carrie Prejean. In attendance at the conference was Miss California first runner-up, Miss California Teen USA, Executive Director of the Miss California Pageant, Keith Lewis, and Co-Executive director Shanna Moakler. The press conference began with Lewis talking about the program and mentioning how they supported Prejean in the beginning but can no longer support someone who is going against the organization's beliefs and the contract she signed. Turns out Miss Diva Prejean doesn't even speak to the California officials any longer. In fact, according to Keith, she's now surrounded herself by a group of "handlers" and advisers" who fail to effectively communicate with them on her behalf. Looks like Prejean needs to get a new team of handlers! Oh, and Prejean's camp is also asking for "security." The first beauty contestant ever to ask for security. WTF? Puh-lease! The pageant officials claim that Carrie is no longer doing events with the Miss California officials and has not made herself available to them. So, in response, the heads have chosen Tami Farrell, the 2009 Miss California First Runner-Up, to be the new Miss California Ambassador. Basically they found a better replacement for her! Keith added that he does not know what Donald Trump's decision tomorrow will be regarding Prejean's title. We hope Trump makes the right decision, though. What do U think will happen? Here are some HIGHlights of what was said: Keith said, "As long as she bears the name California on her titles, she has an obligation to everyone who lives here." Lewsi said to crazy Maggie Ghallager of the homophobic National Organization for Marriage that "42% of donations in 2007 went into your own pocket." He put her on blast! Shanna stated, "She entered the contest under false pretense." Moakler added: "Accepting the title comes with the responsibility to represent everyone in her state, not just those who share her opinion." Fingers crossed that Trump will do the right thing at his press conference tomorrow. However, we have a feeling he's gonna give the lying Prejean yet another chance!

Yes, we're tired of hearing about and talking about that fake-tittied, gay rights-hating Miss California, Carrie Prejean. Especially since the lovely and intelligent Miss North Carolina, Kristen Dalton, won the title of Miss USA. She won - and nobody is talking about her!!! But, we are very happy that as a result of Miss Cali's Fighting for that cause is former Miss USA, Shanna Moakler. Earlier this week, Moakler along with two other former pagean titleholders, posed with duct tape over theirs mouths for a pro-gay marriage PSA promoting equal rights and NO on California's Prop 8. And, now, Moakler's doing another campaign, this time titled I Believe. The campaign was produced by The Miss California Organization and includes about a dozen former Miss Universes and Miss USAs. According to Shanna:
Nice to see people working for a good cause. Carrie Prejean was "too busy" to attend the PSA taping for equality. [Image via WENN.] Permalink / 56 comments (RSS) / Forward this post » Fill In The Blank
At Us Weekly's Hot Hollywood party on Wednesday night, Shanna Moakler and Perezzelle talk about __________. [Photo via AP Images.] Permalink / 118 comments (RSS) / Forward this post » Pageant Officials Continue To Distance Themselves From Miss California
Shanna Moakler, a former Miss USA herself and one of the heads of the California pageant, has just posted a blog about why Miss California's answer to our question about gay marriage was one big FAIL! She says: "Miss California USA. First, I want to be clear on the fact, that I have NOT and will not abandon our reigning Miss California, thou I have a STRONG difference of opinion, I do NOT hate her, nor do I have any issue with her stating her opinion, she is not the first conservative christian titleholder to be in pageants. I agree with the majority that this IS what makes our country great and that is of course freedom of speech. She was asked a questioned and she answered it. But I want to explain to the masses, what the TITLE of Miss USA stands for to me, and being a former Miss USA, I feel I have a pretty good sense of it. Miss USA travels the world and she competes at the Miss UNIVERSE pageant as a representation of her country. She is a ambassador, a role model and needs to be able to show diplomacy on all issues. sadly for California THIS is where we lost the crown. Not for her answer or even her beliefs, because again, sadly IN California her beliefs at this point in time are the majority. But she lost the crown because she wasn't able to convey compassion for ALL the people that as MISS USA she would be representing. and if YOU like it or not, gays and lesbians make up this country as well. THIS is why we have judges so they can find the RIGHT woman who obtains these qualities. they are crucial in my eyes when holding a honor and title as big as being Miss USA. The panel of judges was qualified and did their job, they represented all of us, men, woman, black, white, gay and straight. I think Miss California's willingness to stand by her convictions and ( in my eyes, simply made the question more personal then it needed to be,) has in essence made a great positive impact cause it has brought a issue important to me to the for front of the media and that is civil rights. I have blogged and petitioned for gay rights in the past and if anything positive can come out of this, It's that it has people talking and we need to have people talking and we need MANY conversations on this topic to take place, especially in the state of California and with Prop 8. I do however want to apologize to the men and woman who have continually supported the Miss California USA pageant. I know some were hurt and felt a sense of betrayal, but I thank you for your understanding, communication, love and continued support. shannaxoxo [Image via WENN.] Permalink / 155 comments (RSS) / Forward this post » Pageant Organizers Speak Out AGAINST Miss California!!!
We're not the only ones who disagreed with the way Miss California, Carrie Prejean, answered her question on gay marriage last night during the Miss USA pageant. PerezHilton.com has just just received an exclusive statement from Keith Lewis, the Executive Director of Miss California USA/Teen USA. Keith says:
And on another positive note, PerezHilton.com has received confirmation from Shanna Moakler's rep that the 2001 Miss USA winner "supports Keith's views 100%." Fabulous!
