   Just because she takes non p.c. stances doesn’t mean she should have her crown taken away.

   Oh, and the pictures I’ve seen of her aren’t X-rated either. They seem coquettish.

   I don’t think she’s the ideal model for young girls but there are no HUSTLER pictures so she can keep her crown. I’m fine with it.

   Stating an unpopular opinion shouldn’t have created this kind of furor in the first place. It’s funny so-called liberals only want free speech to apply to their side.

   And if they took her crown for the photos, they would have to dethrone Miss Rhode Island, as well.

   Nads…if you agree with Mr. Dangerous, why are you calling Carrie “Slutty McSlutterson”?

   Because that’s what she is…a slut!!

   I, on the other hand, believe that she has the right to say whatever she wants as long as it does not incite violence or hatred against other people. I AM A LIBERAL! If she said “all gay people should burn in a fire pit”, than it would have been a different story.

   What annoyed me about this situation is that she denied the pictures. Miss Rhodes Island did not! That was the problem!

   If you are going to be a good Christian, AT LEAST tell the truth!!! She claims she didn’t remember taking those pictures and she stated: “Not everyone remembers what they did when they were 16″…REALLY MORON! Ya, I don’t remember eating peanut butter and jelly on April 7, 2003, but I would remember taking nude pictures!!

   This whole thing is a mess!! Pageant models are to be seen and not heard…that’s how its been and that’s how it should stay!

   I don’t think her crown was in trouble because of her anti-gay marriage views, but because she agreed to be a spokesperson for a traditional marriage organization. Apparently while she is Miss California she’s not allowed to work in that capacity for other organizations, it goes against her contract.

   And she’s a skank.

   Oops! What I meant to say was: Miss California never disclosed that she took nude pictures but Miss Rhodes Island did!

   cattyfan: I do think she’s a slut (don’t know personally)…but I don’t think her crown should be taken away b/c of her pictures.

   I can handle Miss C’s right to free speech, even when she says things like “It undermines the constitutional rights my grandfather fought for.” She has a right to make a tit of herself.

   I can even deal with the fact she has tried lying about the pictures, saying she can’t remember taking the shots. She has the right to take pictures of her tits.

   That she can’t believe a photographer published the shots of her without her permission (ha) and — my favorite part — these were between shots (where she looked directly at the camera and smiled) taken on a windy day (that didn’t blow her hair due to the most miraculous hairspray ever), well, she has a right to lie to cover her uncovered ass — so long as she doesn’t impinge on the photographer’s rights.

   What gets me about this clearly natural blond is that she got hit up to be a role model of a traditional marriage organization (against contract). WTF, conservative folks?! Reminds me of when Brit Brit went to the Republican convention to represent. What’s with these nimrod conservative organizations that look at women prancing around in next to nothing and say, “Yes! We have found the perfect role model for American girls everywhere to emulate!” Oops, they did it again with Miss C. Total pish.

   If she has to represent a group, maybe she should see if there are any illiteracy groups looking for before-picture role models — clearly she doesn’t know how to read contracts. Most photogs make people sign a right to release clause where the photographers and not the model own the pictures’ rights. And that nearly always includes a bit about unused rolls — for advertising purposes, usually, but it is their property unless the person owns their rights over pictures (like David Beckham has done in the past).

   I do hope Miss C isn’t lying about that, too, or she could end up being sued by a photographer trying to turn a couple of more bucks. Slander is a bitch and it pays well if easily proven (say, w/ press conference footage).

   P.S. My apologies to other blonds who have to suffer b/c ones like this have fluff between their ears. World Peace, y’all.

   P.P.S.: Ms C is totally allowed to be a slut if she wants to be. Besides, a couple of B-movie grade shots are hardly slut material. She’s not Taya from Rock of Love Bus or anything. (At least not yet.) No buzzing implements were harmed in the taking of the shots.

   personally, I say let her speak out as much as she wants to. She’s a moron and she only undermines her own cause because she can’t put a decent sentence together.

    cattyfan, I hardly think Miss C.’s opinion is unpopular. It’s certainly popular in several states that have passed “Traditional Marriage” initiatives, and is also the opinion of a number of Christians. Unpopular on this site and probably in show business, yeah. There are lots of gay folks in both.

    jennaboa, If Miss C. was indeed 16 when she posed for those photos, I don’t think that the contract can be enforced against her. As I remember, that’s how it works with minors & contracts.

    And why be surprised that she’s slutty? Or stupid? Isn’t that the norm for this pageant? (Remember the underage party girl who was Miss U. a couple years ago. Trump let her keep her crown and said he believed in “second chances,” sparking that feud he had with Rosie.)

    Hey, I just want to make clear that I don’t think there is anything wrong with being slutty or posing for naughty pics. As long as you don’t clothe yourself in the robe of righteous Christianity while doing it.
