Miss California Keeping Title

Officials of the Miss California USA pageant have strongly criticized titleholder Carrie Prejean but say it’s not their decision whether she should be stripped of her crown. Co-executive directors Keith Lewis and Shanna Moakler told a
Beverly Hills press conference Monday that only Miss USA pageant owner Donald Trump can make that decision. The 21-year-old San Diego native created controversy during the Miss USA pageant when she said she believes marriage should only be between a man and a woman. The state pageant has been investigating whether she violated her contract by making public appearances with groups opposed to same-sex marriage. Prejean also failed to reveal that she once posed in her underwear.
