Miss California

Miss USA is the ultimate communicator. When we watch Miss USA and Miss America we want the prettiest, most talented and most articulate girl to win. And winning ultimately means representing your state and your country in the Miss Universe Pageant. Miss USA is suppose to communicate to the rest of the world that she is what the USA is all about… at least that’s the idea.  So when Miss California answered Perez Hilton’s controversial question, truthfully, was she at fault? Some would say no and Perez, well here’s what he had to say on Larry King: 


Is it Perez Hilton's place to judge her? Absolutely. Even though she gave a truthful answer, she was running for Miss USA, a national and worldwide title. Miss USA is also a widely televised event that almost all Americans watch. As a Miss USA contestant, in a pageant that is based solely on other people’s judgment, she should know that whatever she says is open for judgment. If she gives a controversial answer, she should be prepared to take all kinds of criticism, the bad and the good. Is Perez Hilton judging her too harshly? Maybe. But, it was his question, and if you know anything about Hilton, you know how harshly he judges others. If I was a contestant and Perez Hilton was a judge, I would make sure to impress him and win his vote. Because if you didn’t, he would make a fool out of you on his famous and widely read blog on the Internet, PerezHilton.com. I agree with Perez when he says, “Miss USA should be all-inclusive. She should be my Miss USA.” I think Miss USA is supposed to be represented by all Americans, not just the ones she sees fit.

  1. Ok, don't run away with the idea that i am prejudiced against homosexuals. But it seems to me that what Perez Hilton said was "I don't give a damn what she really thinks, she should have at least lied to me." When did our culture get so PC as to tell people what their opinions should be? And who the hell is Perez Hilton to discriminate against straight people? I realize that there is a lot of merit to the assertion that Miss USA should be all inclusive, but where does integrity fit into his opinion of what makes a good Miss USA? She lost because of this quote, ONLY, or at least thats what i got out of the discussion. Thats discrimination, Perez Hilton is a dirty bigot.

    Now God knows, im no Miss USA scholar or anything. Humble opinions from a lowly internet addict, only.
