Following the defeat of Miss California Carrie Prejean at last night's Miss USA Pageant, this juicy comment appeared on Towleroad. Sounds like she was a bitch on wheels behind-the-scenes anyway, which might explain why, when the Second Runner-Up was called,  she only kissed Miss North Carolina, pointedly ignoring Miss California.

Most importantly, he mentions that Ms. Prejean's pageant director is openly gay so is probably "none too fond" of her at the moment.

But what's this about her hooking up with Michael Phelps??? What was he smoking—oh, wait. Never mind!

UPDATE: The California chapter of the Miss USA Pageant released a statement expressing hurt over Prejean's comments. That has to be just about unprecedented...this tension arises over the conservatism of pageantry and yet the liberalism of the gay men who are an integral part of it...
