Neither is her mom.
There was a link to another article on the first article you linked to: Carrie Prejean’s Mother Saw the Sex Tape:
Bro, we heteros grasp at any Celebrity Porn we can find. I’d suggest that it places us below our gay brothers, but you guys have grasped it at least as long.
Gay guys I understand. What confuses me is straight women who like porn.
I love the ad I’m seeing right now on this thread:
“Q+A Miss California. What has Carrie Prejean been up to since the Miss USA Pageant?”
Gee, what has she been up to since then? We couldn’t possibly know, of course, because it’s not like she’s been involved in a few scandals, written a book, or been on several talk shows…
If by “written a book” you mean “been present for and possibly even contributed to the writing of a book”.
I only saw the clip of her from Larry King shilling “her” book, but I’m not quite sure about all the details. Do you mean that it was ghost-written but she slapped her name on it or that someone else wrote one about her and she was just promoting it?
Naturally, I haven’t been paying much attention to her lame debacle.
Yet you have paid more attention to very nearly nothing.
I mean, at this point even knowing her name places her between fans of inconsequential Miss USA losers and people, er, creatures forcing her between stalks produced by my French oncle (which here insanely thin and youthful), and those my niece hid in hopes of buying a ticket to NY back in '46.
Just checked Amazon and her book is ranked #6,712. Lest you think that Amazon customers have a bias against conservatives, Sarah Palin’s is #1 and Glenn Beck’s latest is #8. Apparently not a lot of people are willing to shell out money to read her whining.
That’s pretty much how these things work. Even 90% of books by prominent people who you would expect to be able to write a book are ghostwritten. It’s one of the worst practices in publishing, IMHO.
I dunno, the Mötley Crüe book turned out pretty fucking awesome, and you could say that was ghostwritten, although IIRC Neil Strauss was officially credited for his work in the book itself.
It doesn’t mean the books are bad. It’s just… fraud.
IMO, as long as they make it clear in the book itself that it was at least compiled by someone else (as was the case with The Dirt), there’s no problem with it. It’s when they slap the “author’s” name on the cover in big letters with no further mention of the ghostwriter who actually did the work that it gets shady.
What about books that say, for example, “By Carrie Prejean, with such-and-such?” That seems a bit more honest.
I’m fine with that, or, “as told to…”, or the most honest approach of simply listing the actual author’s name along with the celeb’s.
Charles Barkley once complained that he’d been misquoted in his own autobiography.
Coulter and Limbaugh wrote blips for the book’s back cover and on the inside are such gems as
First Anne Frank and now Carrie Prejean; when will the persecution end?
This is not just whining but it’s extremely stupid of her. She’s 22 and wants to be a celebrity in Hollywood… so she immediately and intentionally alienates almost every Hollywood power broker as well as one hundred million Americans (all liberals and conservatives who recognize cheap stunts) yet she has absolutely no talent or speaking ability to bring value added other than her boobs (which were paid for by liberals).
Darling, Limbaugh and Hannity and O’Reilly will all gladly fuck you if they can somehow get it up but that’s the extent to which you can give them anything of interest and that’s not going to last very long. Whatever notions you had of striking gold in southern California you just damned not by being conservative but by
1- pissing off gays (Hollywood’s the wrong town to do that)
2- showing that you’re a total bitch
3- proving you are impossible to work with and a liar to boot
4- having no talent to atone for it (it’s not like she can sing like a canary or has won Oscars)
If she’s smart she’ll nab a 70 year old Republican millionaire and have his insurance baby while she can because two years, three if you’re lucky, she’ll be lucky to be working the day shift at Denny’s in Hollywood, but I seriously doubt she sees herself as anything other than the next Queen of Fox (and Steve Shepard isn’t going to give that up without some serious hairpulling).
Should read Shepard Smith- not Steve Shepard.
I don’t know if I’d call it a cheap stunt. They asked her the question, after all- what was she gonna do? Lie?
Unfortunately, it turns out America is an okay country to do that, though, especially the noncoastal parts
