Miss California on Cable News: Fox & Friends Gives Carrie Prejean Her Chance

Miss California and Miss USA runner-up, Carrie Prejean, tossed around in the battle over gay marriage, will be a one-day guest host for Fox News Channel's popular morning show Fox & Friends, Whispers learns. She will host the 6 a.m.-to-7 a.m. slot on May 27, filling in for Gretchen Carlson—the 1989 Miss America—who will be off that day.

The decision to make her a one-day cohost was finalized yesterday—the same day Prejean and Miss USA owner Donald Trump appeared on Fox & Friends.

Suzanne Scott, Fox vice president for programming, filled me in on the details of the gig for Prejean, who was thrust into the headlines when she rejected gay marriage during the Q&A part of the pageant. "We're just using her one time," she said, "to sit with the boys and have some fun." The boys are cohosts Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade. "She has become a national celebrity in the last few weeks, and it's a fun thing to do," said Scott. "It's a good way to try get a little buzz and fun for the show. We'll see what happens with it," she added.

1. The actual Miss USA really got screwed.

Time for that pageant to go the way of the dodo.

3. Yes she did

But to be fair, how do we know that she doesn't have the same position on gay marriage? The beauty pageant world is a mostly socially conservative culture: you have to have a lot of money to participate (body work, special diets, clothes, pageant fees, etc.), and pageants promote the idea of women being demure and feminine; not exactly liberal values.

My guess is that 75% of those young women at the Miss USA competition feel the same way as Carrie Prejean on the gay marriage issue.

2. Stripping her (no pun, really) of the crown would have only made her a martyr

And she only would have been given even more sympathy and exposure.

Perez Hilton (God what a stupid name) accomplished nothing positive with his profanity laced tirade on the internet.

4. It was only a matter of time.

FOX can't GET enough airhead fake blondes - and this one has the bonus fake boobs to flaunt while she talks with the REAL boobs who host the show!

5. This Fox VP used the word "fun" THREE TIMES in her brief quote.

What kind of shit passes for public discourse any more in this God-forsaken land?

[malaise]

6. I bet she'd be a host in no time

She'll promote Palin.

7. just saw her pic for the first time, she is real easy on the eyes

i would watch just to see her...

[Ron Green]

8. I disagree.

I think her inner vapidity really overwhelms her physical appearance, and makes her unattractive.

9. good that takes you out of the game as competition then :)

[Ron Green]

10. Go for it, and good luck!

:hi:

[vadawg]

11. luck ill need a fecking miracle, oh and my wife to not notice :)

12. It is just me I guess, but Carrie

comes off as being very sanctimonious. I know she says she answered truly, but that does not excuse her latter behavior. That question has no place in a beauty contest and I thought it silly to ask it. I hadn't realized Donald Trump own that contest. It somehow doesn't seem legitimate anymore.
