Carrie Prejean has released a . . . ..

Carrie Prejean was born in San Diego, California to Francine Coppola and William Prejean. She was raised in an evangelical Christian household in Vista, California. Prejean's parents divorced in 1988. A custody battle went on for more than a decade.
Prejean graduated in 2005 from Vista High School. She is currently a senior at San Diego Christian College, a small, evangelical liberal arts college located in El Cajon, California, and attends The Rock Church, where she volunteers with their outreach ministries. Prejean also volunteers with Luv-em-Up Ministries in El Cajon, where she works with children with developmental disabilities. Carrie Prejean is studying to become a special education teacher and also volunteers for Best Buddies, a non-profit organization that helps people with disabilities, and for the Special Olympics
Carrie Prejean has released a . . . wait for it . . . rather windy statement about being fired from her job as Miss California.
Listen up. It may be the last time she gets all of your attention.
"Let me begin by saying I treasure the opportunity I’ve had to represent the great state of California, and I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to the thousands of Californians, and other Americans, I have met and who have stood with me through this controversial firestorm. One of the many enduring things about being Miss California USA was the opportunity to get to meet and know so many wonderful people. I would not be the strong, courageous woman I am today without your support, and prayers.
“I would like to thank Mr. Donald Trump and his organization for his support and defending me through the most challenging time of my life. I am so grateful for him, and the opportunity I've had to get to know him. I admire and respect him. I wish Tami Farrell the best; I know she will do a great job.
“I hope Americans watching this story unfold take away the most important lesson I have learned through all of this: Nothing is more important than standing up for what you believe in, no matter what the cost may be. I’ve done my best under the difficult circumstances to handle the vicious attacks with integrity and show respect to others, even those who don’t agree with me."
Hang on. There's more. . . .

“I worked in good faith to meet my responsibilities as Miss California USA. I have met every scheduled appearance, and responsibility, as recently as May 31. I have followed the proper protocol requested of me and haven’t made any appearances or speaking engagements without the consent or approval from the Miss California USA or Miss Universe Organizations. I have not signed with any book publisher or taken on any business proposals. As of today, June 11, 2009, I have done everything possible to honor my contract.
"I am proud to be an American, and blessed to have had the opportunity to exercise my freedom of speech. I am excited and looking forward to where God leads me in the future. I know He has big plans for me. I am proud to be the strong woman God has molded me to be. I will always stand for the truth, respectfully, and never back down.

Carrie Prejean's Lawyer on duty right now!!


LOS ANGELES — Carrie Prejean's Lawyer Accuses Miss California Officials of Fabricating Claims Plus Why She Was Axed From Model Agency Hollywood Reacts to Axed Miss California Pop Tarts Scene & Herd.
Carrie Prejean's Lawyer Accuses Miss California Officials of Fabricating Claims Plus Why She Was Axed From Model Agency
Carrie Prejean has been embroiled in controversy since she opposed same-sex marriage at the Miss USA Pageant earlier this year, and even after Donald Trump announced a month ago that she could keep her Miss California crown despite numerous contract breaches he gave his "blessing" for state pageant officials to strip her of her sash on Wednesday.
The 22-year-old was not informed of her termination until it hit the press on Wednesday morning and was very shocked over the decision. According to insiders, Carrie Prejean had developed a strong relationship with Donald Trump and had been in regular contact with him since the press conference in May thus was surprised he gave the green light to have coveted crown taken away.
"I am in shock that K2 Productions and the Miss California USA Pageant have taken the steps to fire Carrie Prejean today. The claim that she has an unauthorized book contract is false. She does not. The claim that she is refusing to appear is false. Carrie has been in constant contact with pageant officials seeking to fulfill her obligations," Prejean's attorney Charles LiMandri told Tarts in a statement on Wednesday.
"I have emails in my possession tied to the pageant organization as recently as last Friday citing future appearance requests for Carrie Prejean . She represented the Pageant in Las Vegas the weekend before last, and is scheduled to appear at a Special Olympics event this weekend in California, a cause dear to her heart. Everyone has been pleased with her appearances and excited to see her. If you need any further evidence of who is in bad faith: A radio host, Billy Bush says he is the person who informed Carrie she was fired. What kind of employer alerts the media before they speak to their employee?"
Even though Carrie Prejean is no longer the reigning Miss California, she is still welcome as a presenter at the Special Olympics.
"Carrie Prejean had indicated that she wanted to come as a volunteer during our Summer Games weekend. Part of the volunteer duties included presenting medals at one of our venues," a spokeswoman for the Olympics said. "We have not spoken with Carrie Prejean to confirm her attendance; however, since she has been a long-time volunteer with Special Olympics we would still welcome her participation."
However Pop Tarts has learned that this isn’t the first time Prejean has been given the flick. Her former agent, Francine Champagne at Visions Model Management Los Angeles, released Carrie Prejean from her contract just over a year ago under claims she was "problematic."
"It gets a little sticky and there are so many things that I would rather not discuss but there are certain specifications that we have to be a model and she was not keeping her commitment," Champagne told Tarts. "I just felt like she was a little nutty and I'd rather not represent someone with that mind frame and I just think she is a problem, and I did not feel that she was of the utmost professionalism and she did not follow through on her side of the bargain so therefore we decided to cut our losses and let her go."
Champagne also said that Prejean failed to act her age.
"She's definitely a handful, she needs a lot of attention, she is a little bit bossy, her mother gets involved whereas she's an adult, and she doesn't need her mom to be calling us. At this point in time, we're a professional agency that deals with professionals and if they are under 18, absolutely we deal with the parents, but once they're 18 or over, we should be dealing directly with talent, not with their parents," Champagne added. "She definitely had the potential to work well, she's a very beautiful girl, but her personality and her uptightness gets in the way and it’s definitely a personality conflict with this business and her. She will not really bode well in this industry because she is too controlling and uptight and bossy. There are a lot of issues there with her and she's not really an easy person to get along with."
Carrie did not respond to a request for comment.

Carrie Prejean has been stripped of her Miss California title??

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Carrie Prejean has been stripped of her Miss California title.
Carrie Prejean (born Caroline Michelle Prejean on May 13, 1987) is an American model and beauty queen from Vista, California. She held the title of Miss California USA 2009, and placed first runner up in the Miss USA 2009 pageant. She gained nationwide attention over her answer to a question about same-sex marriage. She was fired on June 10, 2009, with the producers of the Miss California USA pageant citing continued breach of contract issues as the reason.
Prejean has appeared as a model for Target, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale's, and Nordstrom. She has also appeared in Bliss magazine, as a model for E!: Entertainment Television, at the 81st Academy Awards, and in an interactive model search competition for the NBC game show Deal or No Deal.
"The Miss California USA Organization, in conjunction with the Miss Universe Organization and with the blessing of its owner, Mr. Donald J. Trump, announced today the termination of Carrie Prejean as Miss California USA 2009, citing continued breach of contract issues," the Miss California Organization said in a statement to Access Hollywood.
The group kicked the controversial beauty queen from her post due to "contract violations including Ms. Prejean's unwillingness to make appearances on behalf of the Miss California USA organization," the pageant's Executive Director, Keith Lewis, said in a statement.
Last month, Trump decided that Prejean would be allowed to keep her crown despite racy photos of the 22-year-old surfacing on the Internet. But Lewis claims that in the weeks that followed, the beauty queen did not step up to the plate.
"Since that time it has become abundantly clear that Carrie is unwilling to fulfill her obligations under our contract and work together," Lewis' statement continued.
Billy Bush broke the news to Prejean on Wednesday afternoon when he called her for Access Hollywood and "The Billy Bush Show."
"We've just found out from Keith Lewis, your executive director there, that it's official, they have put out a statement and you have been fired," Bush said.

"Well, that's the first that I know about that, Billy," Prejean said.
"Really?" he continued.
"Yeah. I was just talking to my lawyer and I just got a phone call from you and I've gotten some text messages saying 'Hey, is this really true?' and I said, 'True about what?' and they said, 'That you've been fired.' And I started to laugh because everyone's been cooperating and everyone's been getting along so well," she said. "This is the first that I've heard of it. This is funny to me. I have no idea what's going on."
Trump was also involved in Wednesday's dethroning, and leant his voice to her dismissal.
"I told Carrie she needed to get back to work and honor her contract with the Miss California USA Organization and I gave her the opportunity to do so," Trump said his statement. "Unfortunately it just doesn't look like it is going to happen and I offered Keith my full support in making this decision. Carrie is a beautiful young woman and I wish her well as she pursues other interests."
Miss Malibu Tami Farrell, who was the First Runner-Up, is now Miss California.
In addition to the semi-nude photo scandal, Prejean's reign as Miss California also created headlines at the Miss USA pageant in April after she answered a question from Perez Hilton regarding her stance on gay marriage. She said she believed marriage "should be between a man and a woman."
Shanna Moakler quit the Miss California Organization, where she had served as a co-executive director back in May after Trump let Prejean keep her crown. When asked last month by Access Hollywood's Billy Bush if she would return to the group if Prejean quit, Moakler said she would.
"Absolutely," she said. "In a heartbeat.... It's not [a] 'her or me'[situation]. It's you... have to, at some point, make her take responsibility."
And on Wednesday, not long after the news broke, Moakler issued a statement to Access over Prejean's firing.
"First and foremost, my faith has been restored in the Miss Universe Organization and with Donald Trump. I believed eventually what I intimately knew would come to fruition," Moakler said.

Love Scandals : Miley Dating Her Co-Star?


Love Scandals : Miley Dating Her Co-Star@Nick Jonas?

Miley Cyrus may have had her heart broken by a Jonas brother but it appears that she's ready to move on. The Hannah Montana star was said to have dated Nick Jonas, who reportedly dumped her after she made their relationship known by kissing him on stage. Both sides have denied the story and insisted that they've remained friends. Other say that Miley was so hurt by Nick's actions that she wrote her latest song, "7 Things", about their relationship. That's all in the past now and it seems the Hannah Montana star has moved on to bigger and older things, perhaps cozying up with her costar, Lucas Till.


“The moment Miley saw Lucas’ photo, she knew he was perfect to play her on-screen love. Once they began shooting, she totally fell for him,” a source told the National Enquirer. “It was as if she decided she wanted him and would have him - like Lucas would have no choice in the matter… She is always cuddling up to him and kissing him on the cheek.”
So just who is Lucas Till? He's none other than the 18 year old actor who was picked by Miley herself to costar in Hannah Montana: The Movie opposite her. This is Till's big break, as his previous roles have been in small, unknown films. He was spotted this week at Universal Studios along with Cyrus and Devon Werkheiser, the star of Nickelodeon's Ned's DeClassified School Survival Guide. The pair was also spotted spending the day together in Malibu though he tried to walk a few feet behind her to throw off the paparazzi, which only seemed to draw more attention to them.

Whether or not the two are officially a couple, or have even kissed for that matter, remains unknown. The Los Angeles Times has previously reported that a pic of Miley kissing a boyfriend, or any boy for that matter, could fetch anywhere from $30,000-$150,000. Miley's attempts at keeping this new relationship quiet and private will prove much harder than she imagined, with photographers watching her every move and fans speculating about every guy she hangs out with. If she and Till really are a couple, they won't be able to hide it much longer.

Love Scandals : Christie Brinkley settles NY divorce case


Christie Brinkley's fiercely combative divorce trial ended Thursday following a week of salacious testimony about her fourth husband's affair with a teenager and his Internet porn proclivities.

The settlement gives her custody of their two children and some property. The husband, Peter Cook, gets $2.1 million.

"I'm really glad that today we found some peace," said Brinkley, beaming as her silver peace-sign earrings glistened off a galaxy of camera flashes. She clutched her son's elaborate dinosaur diorama, used as trial evidence that she's a good mother who helped him with his science project.

She told reporters that while she was happy with the settlement, there was not much to celebrate.

"It's to me a very bittersweet moment because it really is the death of a marriage," said Brinkley, 54, who has three other ex-husbands.

Signs of an accord emerged Wednesday when testimony was repeatedly interrupted so attorneys could confer among themselves and with the judge. After an all-night negotiating session at a nearby hotel, the parties reached an agreement about 6:15 a.m. Thursday, said Brinkley's lawyer, Robert Stephan Cohen.

He declined to identify the catalyst for consensus. But on Tuesday, a court-appointed psychiatrist said he thought Brinkley should be granted custody of the couple's 10-year-old daughter, Sailor, and 13-year-old son, Jack, whom Cook adopted; his biological father was Brinkley's third husband.

The psychiatrist's testimony followed one embarrassing revelation after another for Cook, while Brinkley largely came across as a caring mother.

"I think it was pretty clear where this case was going and so it got resolved," said Brinkley's lawyer.

Unlike Brinkley, who stood before a phalanx of microphones nearly every day of the trial, Cook exited the courthouse with little comment. "It's everything I asked for," Cook said. His attorney, Norman Sheresky, left without commenting. A call to his office was not immediately returned.

It seemed Sheresky's only ammunition against Brinkley was to criticize her for wanting to have the trial held in open court, repeatedly saying she wanted to "publicly flog" her husband for his admitted affair with an 18-year-old.

"I didn't want this trial. It's humiliating for all of us," replied Brinkley under blistering questioning from Sheresky. "I really, really wanted to settle this."

Brinkley rejected criticism that the graphic revelations about Cook would have an adverse impact on the children. She sent them to camp during the trial and contended most of the scandalous details already were old news.

They were married for a decade before the 49-year-old Cook met Diana Bianchi while she was working at a Southampton toy store. Cook later hired the then teenager and testified he gave Bianchi a $300,000 payoff after having about a dozen sexual encounters with her in his office and at Brinkley's Hamptons homes for several months in 2005.

The former Sports Illustrated swimsuit model learned of the affair from the teen's stepfather moments after Brinkley delivered a June 2006 commencement speech at Southampton High School — the same school Bianchi had graduated from a year earlier.

Cook also admitted spending thousands of dollars a month on interactive Internet pornography, but insisted that he stopped the habit after his breakup with Brinkley.

Brinkley and her lawyers had contended that Cook's admitted adultery and pornographic proclivities made him an unsuitable candidate for custody.

"Anyone who would run the risk of destroying this wonderful life, anybody that would chase a teenager — I mean, a young girl — where is his judgment?" she said from the witness stand.

Despite a prenuptial agreement, the couple went to trial over child custody and Hamptons real estate properties Cook had advised Brinkley to buy during their decade together. Under the settlement, Brinkley keeps all the properties.

While Brinkley gets custody, Cook will have the children every other weekend and on Wednesday nights — an arrangement that has been in place for some time. He will also care for them whenever Brinkley has to be out of town on business.

The family fishing boat, Sweet Freedom, will be sold and the profit will be split. Cohen said Brinkley's portion will be donated to a shelter for domestic violence victims in East Hampton. Other terms of the settlement were not disclosed.

Brinkley also has a daughter, Alexa Ray Joel, with Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Billy Joel. The 22-year-old testified that Cook picked on her and once shoved her head into a bucket of water after she showered too long and caused a plumbing problem; he denied it.

Dr. Stephen Herman, the court-appointed psychiatrist, testified that Cook is a narcissist with a bottomless ego and said the model, who has appeared on more than 500 magazine covers, needs to examine her taste in men.

Love Scandals : "Grease" actress- Olivia Newton-John married for a second time???
Olivia Newton-John, best known for her role in the 1970s hit movie "Grease," got married for a second time in a surprise ceremony last week, according to media reports.

Newton-John, 59, married 49-year-old American entrepreneur John Easterling at her home in Malibu, California, according to The Daily Telegraph newspaper of Sydney.

Guests arrived at the house thinking they were attending a Fourth of July Independence Day barbecue to find they were participants in the couple's wedding.

The actress and singer, whose hits included "You're The One That I Want" with John Travolta in 1978, went ahead with the wedding even after a brush fire broke out in a nearby canyon.

A source told the newspaper that the British-born singer and actress, who was raised in Australia, said she had gone through too much in her life already and she was not going to let anything interfere with her happiness. The couple, who began dating last year, are both environmental campaigners.

In 2007, Newton-John was back in the headlines when it was revealed that her daughter was suffering from anorexia.

Love Scandals : Madonna denies affair and says not seeking divorce


Who is Alex Rodriguez ??:-

Alexander Emmanuel Rodriguez (born July 27, 1975 in New York, New York), commonly nicknamed A-Rod, is a natural-born American citizen of Dominican ancestry. He is best known as a power-hitting third baseman for the New York Yankees baseball club, after having played shortstop for the Seattle Mariners and Texas Rangers.

Love Scandals : Madonna Scandals
Pop star Madonna denied having an affair with Yankee slugger Alex Rodriguez and said in a statement to People magazine on Sunday she is not planning to get divorced from her British husband Guy Ritchie.

Rumors that the London-based couple planned to split have been circulating for months, fueled most recently by reports that she had hired a lawyer to divorce film maker Ritchie.

"My husband and I are not planning on getting a divorce," the singer said in a statement to People.

"I brought my kids to a Yankee game. I am not romantically involved in any way with Alex Rodriguez. I have nothing to do with the state of his marriage or what spiritual path he may choose to study," she said.

People magazine reported on Sunday that Rodriguez's wife, Cynthia, had left the Yankee baseball star over the alleged affair with Madonna, citing sources close to the situation.

The speculation about Madonna's marriage reached a fever pitch in the last two weeks in London, where the Daily Mirror newspaper dedicated two front pages to the plight of the couple's relationship.

Madonna, 49, and Ritchie, 39, married in December 2000 at Skibo Castle in northeast Scotland. They met at a party hosted by ex-Police frontman Sting and his wife Trudie Styler.

Their son, Rocco, was several months old on their wedding day, and in 2006 Madonna applied to adopt David Banda, a boy from Malawi whose mother had died shortly after his birth. The adoption was approved by a Malawian court in May.

Madonna also has a daughter, Lourdes, from an earlier relationship. She was married once before, to Hollywood actor Sean Penn, in the 1980s.

Madonna is one of the most successful rock stars of all time, with global album sales estimated at more than 200 million copies. A multi-Grammy award winner, she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in March.

Ritchie is best known for his movies "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" (1998) and "Snatch" (2000), but he has come in for critical maulings since then, most notably when he directed Madonna in "Swept Away" (2002).

Madonna brushed off the rumors as media fabrication.

"I have learned over the years not to take accusations and the many false reports about me very seriously," she told People.

"Fiction and fact seem to be perceived as one and the same by people who read both newspapers and the Internet.."

Love Scandals :Christie Brinkley testified at her divorce trial
Christie Brinkley testified at her divorce trial Thursday that the day she learned her husband was having an affair with a teenager was the day her world was "completely shattered."

The former Sports Illustrated model took the stand in state Supreme Court, a day after testimony by her architect husband, Peter Cook, and his former mistress.
Brian Platt, a police officer and the stepfather of the 18-year-old, informed Brinkley of the affair at a 2006 graduation at Southampton High School where the model was a speaker.

He tapped her on the shoulder, she tearfully recalled, and said, "That husband of yours won't knock it off. He's having an affair with my teenage daughter."

Brinkley said she looked at Cook, sitting in the front row of the graduation ceremony, and when he shook his head in denial, she thought: "My God, it's true. He did do that."

Love Scandals -Ashley Cole!! Gotcha!

Love Scandals -Ashley Cole!! Gotcha!!

Cheryl Cole was rumored to have consulted her good friend, Victoria Beckham after discovering that her husband, Ashley Cole, had been involved with several women. Initially, when the news broke on an alleged fling with Aimee Walton, Cheryl said that she would stand by her man. However, after more women had revealed about supposed affairs with Ashley, Cheryl has taken a different stand.

That story about Ashley Cole allegedly cheating on his wife Cheryl Cole(right picture) took a very Footballers Wive twist over the weekend: Aimee Walton, the "other woman," is now claiming she's "pregnant" and says Ashley Cole's "representative" offered her cash for an abortion. "He offered to pay for an abortion and said I could go on a holiday with my son. I felt sick," she tells .The Daily Mail is reporting that two more women have come forward and said they had affairs with Cole: "It has now emerged that another blonde, model Brooke Healy, says she slept with Cole five months after his wedding. It has also been claimed that a third woman, Coralie Robinson, was paid hush money of £10,000 after having sex with Cole in 2004 - the year he got engaged."

Not surprisingly, Cheryl Cole's family wants her to kick Ashley to the curb. A "family member" told The Mirror: "If all of this turns out to be true, where does that leave Cheryl? Married to a man who cannot be trusted. If Ashley has been unfaithful once, who's to say it won't happen again? If that's the case, she should just walk away now before he gets another chance to hurt her."
