Is Miss California's crown in jeopardy?

Does anyone else find it ironic that the woman who placed second in the Miss America pageant has been in the media more than the woman who won?

Carrie Prejean AKA Miss California has been making headlines since she voiced her opposition to gay marriage to Perez Hilton, one of the judges for the competition. Following her loss, Carrie toured the country on an anti-gay marriage rant of sorts.

Then there came the revelations that the Miss USA pageant actually paid for her breast implants so that she would have a more robust cup size for that all important swimsuit competition. 

As if that wasn't enough, the validity of her California crown came into question earlier this week after gossip website TheDirty.com posted a photo of a scantly clad Prejean topless in her undies. The photo is in direct violation of the Miss America contract which candidates sign claiming there are no nude photos that exist... When the photo became published, Prejean admitted that it was indeed her and that one photo was the only of its kind.

Those claims have now come into question after TheDirty.com posted a second photo of a semi-nude Prejean on the website. Prejean and her representatives claim the second photo is her face, but it has been doctored and placed on another body. Donald Trump, who is in charge of the pageant has not announced whether or not he will revoke her crown or not, but it is expected to make an announcement in the coming days. To further test her moral compass, adult film giant Vivid Pictures has offered Carrie $1 million to star in an adult film...

The hypocrisy of this situation is sickening. The pageant paid for her implants so that she would increase her chances at winning (as if she weren't attractive enough before the boob job). All of that was for naught, as she lost the competition because she told a gay man that she doesn't support gay marriage. She may lose her California crown because she took a few photos in her underwear, but they make the contestants prance around that stage in bikinis for everyone to gawk over. How do you define semi-nude? Is a skimpy two piece not semi-nude? Do you really expect for a woman who has made it to the level of the Miss America pageant to have never been photographed wearing minimal clothing until the swimsuit competition? This whole situation disgusts me and really highlights some of issues we have in America in terms of defining beauty and being politically correct. 

She already lost the pageant. Let's leave her alone and find another girl to pick on. Where's Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton and Britney Spears when you need them?
