Carrie Prejean Clinches Book Deal: Why She Talked To Perez Hilton
Carrie Prejean -- the defrocked former Miss California -- is going to write a book for Regnery, the conservative publishing house, promising to "tell her side of the story."
Regnery Publishing announced the deal -- sorry, no info about an advance -- on Monday afternoon.
In its release, Regnery said: "Prejean attracted national attention when she answered a question at the Miss USA Pageant defending traditional marriage. The unprecedented personal attacks that ensued eventually culminated in Prejean being stripped of her Miss California crown. But the 22-year-old won the respect of millions for modeling something other than evening gowns and swimsuits – the courage of standing up for her convictions."
Continuing, the publisher said, "Now she will tell her side of the story, answering such questions as what happened behind the scenes at the pageant, why she answered the Perez Hilton question as she did, what really led to her losing the Miss California crown, and how she has been forced to battle the left's double-standard on free speech and the bias against conservatives – particularly conservative women – who stand up for their beliefs."
