Is Carrie Prejean Stupid or Vilified?
I just watched the entire interview with ousted beauty queen Carrie Prejean about the latest scandal about her alleged "sex tape" and this is another case of her being blasted in the media because of her being a conservative Christian speaking out on her beliefs. When I heard the rumor of the new scandal I was obviously annoyed thing "Girl, how dumb can you be, especially if you knew you had a tape out there!" Let's just say it is worth watching the interview on The Today Show (November 10, People section). Her "sex tape" was not her having sex with herself or anyone else. Actually if was a dumb choice of hers to do what is now commonly known as "sexting"-- a one time text of a short video she took of herself only on her phone for her boyfriend when she was 17. The lesson she says is really for all teens across America and that is everything you do affects you for the rest of your life and can come back to haunt you. She was not proud of her actions, tho' she never thought it would come out or that her ex even had the clip still on his phone. But she feels it only enhances the message she shares in her new book Still Standing. Though the media will continue to try and vilify her because she is a conservative, her message is worth hearing, girls, please think before you grab your camera -- there is NO privacy these days with the access to Facebook, MySpace and Twitter. What you do is out there for the world to see and you to regret! And I can't end this blog without sharing my agreement with her on her point that if she were a liberal non of this would be in the press. It's interesting, isn't it, that there is free of speech for a liberal point of view, but when it is a conservative point of view the media goes on a mission to discredit and destroy. It has become politically correct to be everything anti-Christian but for those who speak up for Jesus, you will be vilified in the media....hmmm, doesn't the Bible tell us that will happen? Sad but happening. Check out the link below for the full interview at the Today Show (November 10, People Section)

If you saw the interview of Carrie Prejean on CNN with Larry King, you would know that the general population's disapproval of her is not based solely on her "Christian" beliefs. Quite frankly, she misrepresents American women through her rudeness, ignorance, and inability to deal with confrontation. To call her Christian is an insult to the religion. I don't believe that someone who was truly Christian would go and make a sex tape, and given her hypocrisy, discount any claims she makes to trying to defend the religion. The truth is, she probably is being villified, but it would definitely be more for her airheadedness than her conservatism.
Stupid
Carrie Prejean is neither stupid, nor vilified.
Celebrities in the public eye bear the entire responsibility for their words; it should surprise no one that her conservatism would find some people who object... and her hypocrisy would find even more critics.
I actually respect them highly; celebrities who risk their careers to take a political or religious stand... as long as they recognize that they do so at their own peril. Alec Baldwin nearly ruined his career when his nasty voicemail to his daughter hit the airwaves.... but he acknowledged responsibility, put himself back on track, and is now a huge star. Barbra Streisand alienated millions with her liberal views, and it undoubtedly damaged her career. I respect celebrities on both sides of the political spectrum who are willing to take that chance.
Carrie Prejean's problem is the same as Sarah Palin's problem; she wants to blame everyone else for the controversy she herself stirred up, and doesn't want to take true responsibility for the infamous sexting video. If she couldn't withstand the inevitable criticism, she should have shut up. If she thinks it's worthwhile potentially damaging her own career with her political and religious viewpoints, then she has no one to blame but herself.
Since writing this post, more information has come to my attention, including she did multiple text to her boyfriend--not exactly wise choices nor good judgment, nor is this something she would forget she's done. So Carrie, I'm disappointed in you as well.
HELLO, being in Nigeria, i didn't watch the interview ,but from what i just read;it is such a pity!AFTER ALL CELEBRITY DOES COME WITH IT'S PRICE TAG! A similar thing happened to an actress in my country. she posed nude for her MIDDLE-AGE WHITE LOVER just as it is done in ADULT FILMS.ALAS! she gave her computer to a technician to repair& that was how the story came out because she REFUSED to be blackmailed by the guy. The white man had to marry her at a REGISTRY and we have not heard of him since while the actress keeps a low profile& many believed, she was PROSTITUTING for the white guy who was a VISITOR.!
