Right, head straight for the loathsome gutter press - TMZ - to tell your story.

Classy!

I think some facts got majorly screwed up here. While I have heard that she turned down offers from "I'm a Celebrity" and Playboy, there is no way it was the pageant that asked her to do those things. In fact, she almost got fired the first time for semi-nude pics, so why would the pageant then be asking her to pose for Playboy.

While I don't agree with her politics, I have to say damn this girl is hot.

While I disagree with her views on gay marriage - she is still entitled to them, and that question was completely inappropriate at the pageant. Shouldn't have asked the question if you didn't want the answer, dumb*ss! Everyone is horrified that she voiced her opinion (after being asked), but apparently Perez Hilton can call a woman a b*tch and c*nt, and that's fine. Yeah, we've come a long way, baby, I guess! I hope she sues their *sses off, and laughs all the way to the bank.
Sorry, felt the need to rant.

I agree about the gay marriage question. It's totally a loaded question. If she would have said she supported gay marriage you would have gotten all these crazy right-wing conservatives bashing her for encouraging kids to be gay or some ridiculous shit like that. it's a bit like asking about abortion beliefs. just too controversial for a pagent.
