Carrie Prejean Clinches Book Deal: Why She Talked To Perez Hilton

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."

2. At LAST!!!!!!!!
I've been holding my breath, wondering what Carrie was doing these days, waiting for her next chapter.

Seems that it will come in book form.

Just think - the first book she'll ever read will be the one with her name on it.

If she can get through it without her finger and lips getting all chapped and worn out .................

3. What's to tell?
What happened can be put into a couple of sentences.

Carrie was asked a question. Her answer made her sound like a dimwit. She lost and claimed it was because of her beliefs (not because she sounded like a dimwit.) She whined a bunch and became a hero to the anti-gay marriage crowd.

How that gets turned into a book is beyond me.

6. heh, "defrocked"
"Carrie Prejean -- the defrocked former Miss California -- is going to write a book for Regnery"

From the photos I've seen, she was "defrocked" long before the Miss Cali pageant.

"...eventually culminated in Prejean being stripped.."

:rofl:

Are they TRYING to be funny in this press release?
