Miss California Carrie Prejean Fired

Well, to much less fanfare than the last go round about whether or not she would keep her crown, Miss California Carrie Prejean has been stripped (oh dear, poor use of terms) of her crown and sash. It is not immediately clear why, though according to “documents obtained by FOXnews.com” the producers of the Miss California USA Pageant feel she has repeatedly breached her contract.

From FOXNews.com:

Less than a month after being told by Donald Trump that she can keep her Miss California crown, Carrie Prejean is being fired, Foxnews.com has learned exclusively.

K2 Productions, the independent producers of the Miss California USA pageant, under license from Miss Universe, cites continued breach of contract issues as the reason for Prejean’s firing. The decision is revealed in documents obtained by FOXNews.com.

“This was a business decision, based solely on contract violations,” Keith Lewis, executive director of K2 Productions, said in the documents. “After our press conference in New York we had hoped we would be able to forge a better working relationship. However, since that time it has become abundantly clear that Carrie has no desire to fulfill her obligations under our contract and work together.”

In a bolt of irony, celebrity blogger Perez Hilton calls Prejean “small-minded” in a blog post of the latest development … right before he does a “happy dance” to celebrate her firing.  Now that’s small minded.
