LMFAO!! How's this all you Carrie Prejean defenders?

Carrie Prejean settled her lawsuit against Miss USA Pageant official on Tuesday.

Los Angeles, California (CNN) -- The sudden end to a legal battle between dethroned Miss California USA Carrie Prejean and pageant officials was prompted by the revelation of a "sex tape," according to a source familiar with the lawsuits' settlement.

Prejean was fired in June after lingerie-modeling photos of her emerged that pageant officials said were a breach of her contract. Prejean sued the pageant in August, arguing her firing was religious discrimination because of her opposition to same-sex marriage.

Pageant officials countersued last month, demanding their former beauty queen repay $5,200 in pageant money spent for her breast implants and give them all proceeds from a book she's written.

A settlement of both lawsuits was signed in New York Tuesday, but no details were made public. Lawyers and parties for each side were bound by a confidentiality pledge, according to the source.

The veil of secrecy was partially lifted Wednesday after celebrity gossip Web site TMZ reported the deal was sealed after pageant lawyers presented an "extremely graphic" home video involving Prejean.

TMZ Managing Editor Harvey Levin said during a webcast Wednesday that he obtained the Prejean video during the summer, but found it "too racy" to post on his site. He indicated Prejean was alone in the video.

The source with knowledge of the settlement talks told CNN those details were accurate.

Prejean's lawyer, Charles LiMandri, responded with a short statement issued through an employee at his law office. "It's a confidential settlement, and he can't discuss it," the statement said.

Several calls and e-mail to Prejean's publicist were not returned Wednesday.

Prejean's tell-all book hits bookstores next week, and she is scheduled for media interviews to promote it.

Pageant spokesman Kenn Henman said Tuesday the settlement means all lawsuit demands are dropped.

The pageant had claimed that the contract she signed when she entered their competition last year gave the pageant the rights to anything she wrote. The settlement ended that claim.

Looks like ole' Carrie wasn't too squeaky clean herself. 

Guess the one thing we can say for certain is that it wasn't a lesbian sex tape.  Gawd don't like them gays ya' know.

Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

Home video? Was it made for public viewing?

Most of them home video's find their way onto the internet eventually. . .  :biggrin:

I guess it just proves the old saying "never write anything down or take a picture of anything that you don't want on the front page of the newspaper". So, if what she did in the privacy of her home is important to the public that should apply to everyone, like marijuana, drunkenness, or any other kind of thing thought to be improper or remotely illegal?

I would not go that far. . .  :spooked: In fact I'd have to say hell no! But, when you run for a high profile office or present yourself as an example of something, you had better be prepared to defend your actions and choices. . . Especially if you have documented them in some way. . . :angel:

She presented herself as a good looking woman who did not believe in gay marriage and believed in presenting a "modest" public presentation (how that jibes with beauty contests is beyond me). I agree the modeling pics probably were cause enough for her dismissal, but I think they were just looking for a way to get rid of her because of the gay marriage thing. The "home movies" were meant to be private and I think most people would not want their entire private life exposed and have some things that would embarrass them.

Probably Bill Clinton expected that his encounters would be a part of his private life that he didn't expect to be exposed. (In more ways than one.  :smile: )
