Freedom of Speech at Miss USA?

img00308__opt

Politically correct or not Miss California Carrie Prejean, spoke her mind Sunday night at the 2009 Miss USA pageant. An answer that might have cost her the crown.

Her response has gained much attention and controversy concerning  gay rights. 

During the onstage interview portion  Miss California was asked her views on gay marriage, she responded:

“We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite. And you know what, I think in my country, in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody out there, but that’s how I was raised.”

 

The onstage interview is about being able to answer a question with a well thought out answer, not your politically stance. I think that the media is taking this to extremes, whether you believe in same sex marriage or not we need to remember that this is still a beauty pageant.

I think there has been a lot of emphasis put on a beauty pageant contestant when we are talking about politics. I don’t think she should be vilified because she choose  to not take a popular stance. The berating is unnecessary and a little much.  

At the end of the day she is just a young girl trying to stay true to her convictions and win a pageant.

What will become of Making the Band?

On the last episode of Making the Band, Day26 and Donnie performed on a cruise ship while Qwanell a.k.a Q stayed behind in New York after Diddy gave him a time-out. Q had gone off the deep-end and now his crew was on a boat living up the life of luxury. The boys were happy and enjoying themselves while Q was sad and confused as to where life would take him.

Q was once the poster boy any band, label or brand would want. He was great looking, talented, hard-working and the sweetest thing you have ever seen. Yet something happened since last season where the guy who was too sweet and too perfect turned into the bad boy of Bad Boy Records.

Is it just me or does he look skinnier, his skin color more pale and his eyes now bug out of his head. There are few explanations for such an extreme transformation and I hope it isn’t the worst but it is hard to think what else could have changed Mr. Perfect into Mr. Hyde.

Meanwhile on the Danity Kane side, Dawn tries to recover after learning that Andrea was released from her contract with Bad Boy Records. This left Dawn as the only remaining member left of Danity Kane.

The perfect relationship from last season of Q and Dawn now has both being isolated, confused and scared. They don’t know where the future holds for either of them and only God and Diddy know.

Perhaps one truly is the loneliest number…

Jamie Foxx verbally attacks Miley Cyrus

Jamie Fox might be the one person in America who is not a fan of  Miley Cyrus.

After lashing out in a verbal attack against the tween star on his Sirius satellite radio show saying,  Cyrus should “make a sex tape and grow up, just do some heroin like Britney Spears.”

The shocking outburst was in reference to Cryus’ claim that she would “ruin” Radiohead, after the band rejected her a meeting at the Grammys.

Needless to say Billy Ray Cyrus found nothing funny about Foxx’ comment. Even though Foxx apologized to the Cyrus family, it is not water under the bridge for papa Cyrus.

Here is Billy Ray Cyrus on The Bonnie Hunt Show responding to the comments:

What are your thoughts on Jamie’s ill-advised “advice”?

The date for the much anticipated  “Sex and the City 2” sequel has been set for May 28,2010.  According to Variety magazine Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis will all return.

Details surrounding the movie have not been confirmed yet, although we do know that a baby is out of character for Carrie and Mr. Big. Back in November Sarah Jessica Parker told MTV News’ Josh Horowitz, “Motherhood doesn’t seem as if that’s going to be a choice she’ll make. It feels a little bit manipulative to toss that into the mix because she seems so pointed in a different direction.”
What do you think should be the next step for the fabulous foursome?
