Miss California back to being Miss Prejean

Well, that bites:

Less than a month after being told by Donald Trump that she can keep her Miss California crown, Carrie Prejean was fired on Wednesday.

In a release first obtained by FOXNews.com, K2 Productions, the independent producers of the Miss California USA pageant, under license from Miss Universe, cited continued breach of contract issues as the reason for Prejean’s firing.

“This was a decision based solely on contract violations,” Keith Lewis, executive director of K2 Productions, said in the release. “After our press conference in New York we had hoped we would be able to forge a better working relationship. However, since that time it has become abundantly clear that Carrie has no desire to fulfill her obligations under our contract and work together.”

Shanna Moakler was unavailable for comment, I guess. [Note: see update below]

Somehow I think Prejean will be okay. I just hope all this doesn’t limit her career, although I’m not completely sure what kind of career former Miss Californias tend to have.

Say, what was the Miss USA winner’s name again?

UPDATE - I’m adding this, mostly because I’m getting lots of hits from people searching for Shanna Moakler:

…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.

Moakler once posed nude for Playboy magazine. There was no immediate word on whether the organization will take her back, now that the Bible-thumper has finally been shown the door.
