Reports: Neither Jackson or Debbie Rowe biological parents to children
This one won’t come as a surprise to anyone with eyes or a brain.
Michael Jackson may have not been the bio dad to his two oldest kids.
TMZ reports that the King of Pop ‘is not’ the biological father of Prince Michael Joseph Jackson or Paris Michael Katherine Jackson.
Really! You don’t say. How could this be? But there’s more.
The celebrity website reports that Jackson’s ex Debbie Rowe carried the kids, but is not the biological mother to either.
Like Michael Jackson’s youngest child, Prince Michael Jackson II (AKA Blanket) , the older two kids were conceived by vitro, TMZ says.
The website, reportedly relying on sources close to the births, says donor eggs and sperm were used.
We are assuming none of those source are connected to the Maury Show.
True on false, this seems like a icky time to be exposing such revelations. The Gloved One died in Los Angeles Thursday, June 25.
His parents Joseph and Katherine have temporary custody of his three children.

TweetKing of Pop to have a large, public funeral
Michael Jackson lived a great, big life so it should be no surprise he’ll have a great, big funeral.
The pop icon will be laid to rest after a large public funeral, Jackson family patriarch Joe Jackson said Monday, June 27, during a press conference with Rev. Al Sharpton.
The funeral details are still being worked out, according to FoxNews.com
“We don’t have the time frame yet because we want to see when the private autopsy comes out,” Jackson said according to the Fox report.
Jackson was referring to the second autopsy paid for by his family.
When he died Thursday, Michael Jackson was a shell of his former self, according to the London Sun.
The newspaper said it obtained a copy of an autopsy preformed by officials in California.
Jackson’s body was emaciated and covered in needle marks and bruises, the newspaper said.
(UPDATE: Seems like the Sun either received bad info or simple made a bunch of stuff up.
The Los Angeles coroner’s office says details released by the Sun are bogus and came neither from a private or the county autopsy, The LA Times reports.
Custody of Jackson’s children has been temporarily granted to his parents.
Joe Jackson gave the media an update of the children during the press conference, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Joe Jackson said his son’s children are happy and around other children.
“We have kids back there that are small just like they are,” Joe Jackson said. “They was never around other kids, they’re happy.”

TweetSun: Jackson emaciated, bald and full of pills at time of death
UPDATE: Seems like the Sun either received bad info or simple made a bunch of stuff up.
The Los Angeles coroner’s office says details released by the Sun are bogus and came neither from a private or the county autopsy, The LA Times reports.
If the London Sun has it right (let’s hope it doesn’t), the King of Pop was a mere shell of his former self when he died Thursday.
The newspaper, reporting on an apparently leaked autopsy report, says that Michael Jackson was bald and a ” virtual skeleton,” weighing just 112 pounds.
The ‘Thriller’ singer’s 5 foot 10 inch body was full of needle marks and bruises, the Sun story says.
Pills were the only thing found in his stomach as Jackson only ate one meal a day, the newspaper reports.
See video from the BET Awards Sunday, June 28, of Janet Jackson speaking about her beloved brother.

TweetJoy Behar breaks off engagement
Did you know Joy Behar was engaged? If so, know now that the wedding is off. Or postponed. Or put on the shelf while she pursues her own show.
“The View” co-host, who’s getting her own talk show on HLN, told the New York Daily News:
“Actually, I got cold feet again, so I don’t know what I’m going to do. It’s off the table. What’ll happen is, when I decide to do it, I’ll do it, and then everybody will know I did it. I can’t make up my mind.”
In March, Behar, 66, talked vaguely about being engaged to longtime companion Steve Janowitz.

TweetE! heeds fans’ wishes to ignore Speidi
Finally. E! has announced that it will ban Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag-Pratt from the network, after 94% of respondents to an online poll said they’re sick of the reality-show couple.
Network officials say they’ll no longer cover “the misadventures of Speidi until the pair does something truly newsworthy.”
“If her album went to No. 1, that would be a newsworthy thing. If they were to become parents, we’d see that as worth noting. If something did happen to them, physically, we’d probably cover that. But ultimately, we were looking at it more like avoiding stories about them walking down Robertson or going to dinner,” Suzanne Kolb, chief marketing officer for Comcast Entertainment group and general manager of E! Online, told the Daily News. “It will affect the various news shows on E! and it will affect online.”

TweetKim K joins crush of crushes on Megan Fox
Megan Fox was just named sexiest woman in the world by FHM magazine for the second year in a row, and Kim Kardashian knows why.
“Megan Fox is so hot,” she told Entertainment Tonight, which Us Magazine picked up. “She is, like, my girl crush — and I don’t have girl crushes!”
Kardashian went on to admit that her attendance at the L.A. premiere of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen this week was for the sole reason to get a look at the Fox.
“That’s really the only reason I’m here,” she said, adding that her boyfriend Reggie Bush also has a thing for Fox. A boy-thing.

TweetRemembering Farrah Fawcett: 1947-2009
Farrah Fawcett died Thursday, June 25, after a long and grueling battle with anal cancer, which was diagnosed in 2006. She was 62.
She was an icon, one of the first and probably the most striking angel in Charlie’s crew; her orange tank suit poster a de rigeur decoration in boys’ rooms across the planet — the hair, the teeth, the unusual first name and hyphenated last name (when she was married to Lee Majors), the crazy Letterman appearance and the impressive acting chops displayed in such television fare as “The Burning Bed” and “Small Sacrifices.”
Remembering Farrah is easy; forgetting her impossible. Here are some highlights:
The Wella Balsam ads: Farrah had been in myriad campaigns, but this shampoo ad is credited for starting the ball really rolling, and it didn’t take long for the Texas-born beauty to catch the attention of a poster company, which lead to …
THE poster. It wasn’t overtly sexy, but it was all-American hotness at its best. It caught on and sold well — an unparalleled 12 million copies. Enough said.
”Charlie’s Angels”: Farrah played Jill Munroe on this campy detective show that debuted in September 1976, around the same time the poster was released. Believe it or not, though “Charlie’s Angels” was a huge hit, Farrah only stayed a year.
“Farrah Hair”: Long, layered, blond and breezy, this was the style to have. It always looked better on her, though.
1982’s “Extremities”: Farrah starred in this off-Broadway production, which became a 1986 film, as a rape victim who turns the tables on her rapist. She was nominated for a Golden Globe award for the film version.
1984’s “The Burning Bed”: Her role as a battered wife earned Farrah the first of three Emmy nominations, and proved she was serious about — and pretty good at — acting. The television movie was a pioneer in the medium’s effort to draw attention to social issues, running a nationwide toll-free number that offered assistance to victims of domestic abuse.
Playboy: Farrah initially rejected all efforts to pose or appear nude, but changed her mind: Her December 1995 Playboy pictorial was the magazine’s best-selling issue of the decade. She did it again in July 1997, in honor of her 50th birthday (she was born Feb. 2, 1947). She also produced a video for Playboy in which she painted her naked body and rolled it on a canvas of chiffon; it wasn’t her first foray into art — she studied sculpture at the University of Texas and collaborated with Keith Edmier, scoring an exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in 2002.
David Letterman: In June 1997, Farrah appeared on the late-night talk show acting distracted and strange. She later explained she was just joking around, but her bizarre behavior became joke fodder for quite some time.
Men: Farrah was married to Lee Majors (“The Six Million Dollar Man) from 1973 to 1982, though they separated in 1979). In 1980, she became involved with Ryan O’Neal. They never married, but have been together on and off ever since; their son, Redmond, was born in 1985. In 1998, during an off-period with Ryan, Farrah was beaten by her then-boyfriend, moviemaker James Orr, after she took several swings at his car with a baseball bat; Orr was prosecuted and convicted. Farrah’s son Redmond has a long history of drug abuse and problems with the law; both Ryan and Redmond were arrested in September 2008 when methamphetamine was found in the house they shared. Ryan pleaded guilty in January 2008, and was sentenced to an 18-month rehab program. Redmond was also sentenced to rehab (after pleading no contest), only to be arrested in first on a drunken driving charge and later on a felony drug possession charge, for which he was imprisoned. In April, Redmond was released for a thee-hour visit to his ailing mother; in early May 2009, he was given a last chance at rehab, which is where he remains.

Tabitha Hodge Broderick (6 pounds)
Hodge and Elwell are family names on Parker’s side.
This would be Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick’s babies, BTW.

TweetNJ Housewife junkie? Read all about Danielle…
On Tuesday, The Smoking Gun website published federal court documents detailing Real Housewives on New Jersey “star” Danielle Staub’s sordid past.
The papers show that Staub, 46 (then known as Beverly Ann Merrill and sometimes as Angela Minelli) “was arrested by FBI agents in June 1986 for her role in a kidnapping plot that grew out of a cocaine deal gone bad.” Also involved was Daniel Aguilar, a guy she met while she was working for an escort service.
The papers reveal that she and Aguilar “sought to extort a $25,000 ransom from a man whose son they were holding.” The son — whom they “threatened injury or death” — “was blamed by Merrill and Aguilar for the botched drug deal, which cost them a kilo of cocaine worth about $24,000,” according to the papers.
When they were arrested, “agents discovered six kilos of cocaine and about $16,000 in cash,” according to the papers.
Staub “was charged with eight felonies, including extortion, cocaine possession and narcotics conspiracy.”
Along with Aguilar, she later became an informant and pleaded guilty to “a single felony count.” She was sentenced to five years’ probation (Aguilar got 15 years behind bars) and was ordered into a drug treatment program.
In other NJ Housewife news, Jacqueline Laurita tells US magazine that she and Danielle no longer speak.

TweetJon & Kate: Separated for two years?
If anybody needed any more proof that what we see on TV is not reality — in any shape or form — here’s some more evidence, courtesy of Jon - Kate + 8.
Apparently, the couple’s divorce papers, filed Monday in Pennsylvania’s Montgomery County Court, feature Kate Gosselin describing her marriage ias “irretrievably broken” — she also checked a box that indicated she and hubby Jon have been “living separate and apart” for at least two years.
Don’t know about you, but I feel cheated. Played the fool. Not really, because does it really matter? But still.
“Over the course of this weekend, Jon’s activities have left me no choice but to file legal procedures in order to protect myself and our children,” Kate said in a statement Monday.
E! Online reports the following:
But while both parents were spotted earlier (Tuesday) playing with their kids outside their spacious home — where Jon and Kate will take turns caring for the brood in the future — in an affected stab at normalcy, their divorce filing reveals that they have not been able to agree on how to divide their assets. According to divorce attorney Jennifer Brandt, who is not involved with the Gosselins, Kate’s two-year separation claim could be money-related. In Pennsylvania, any income an individual makes between the time of separation and divorce belongs solely to him or her, and Kate has reportedly been raking in the dough from book deals and speaking appearances, in addition to what she’s earned from her TV show. After two years of separation, a spouse can file for a no-fault divorce, which puts the relationship on the fast-track to dissolution. Kate will have to prove that she and Jon were living like roommates rather than a married couple during the two-year stretch of being “separate and apart,” Brandt tells E! News. “I mean, we’ve all seen them on TV acting as they’re married,” she says. “[Kate] would have to come out and say that was just a facade, and that realistically, they weren’t really together.” “If she’s successful in her claim that there has been a two-year separation, she’ll be able to move this divorce forward without even waiting for [Jon’s] consent.” If the Gosselins find common ground and sort out their financial and custody issues outside of court, Brandt says, they can avoid going before a judge and airing their dirty laundry in public. After all, she adds, “this is not something that they want in front of a judge.”

TweetNick Lachey, Vanessa Minnillo break up
Grab your handkerchiefs.
Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo have broken up, according to People.com and about a thousand other gossip Web sites.
A publicist for the actress and former MTV VJ confirmed to E! News that she and the 98 Degrees alum “have amicably split but remain good friends who still greatly care for one another.”
Minnillo, 28, started dating Lachey, 35, in 2006 after meeting during a shoot for his music video for “What’s Left of Me.” She had just ended her three-year romance with New York Yankees star Derek Jeter, and he had just gotten divorced from singer Jessica Simpson.

TweetJon&Kate production on hold until August
TLC is stopping production of Jon & Kate Plus 8, following Monday night’s televised announcement of the couple’s impending divorce. The network said next week’s episode will be a “clip package” with some “new footage” — the next all-new episode will air Aug. 3. The Los Angeles Times reported that the decision was the network’s — not the family’s.
This year, six episodes of the 40-episode season have aired. Both Kate and Jon said Monday night that they would continue the show: Kate even gamely declared, “The show must go on!”
Jon & Kate Plus 8 is TLC’s highest-rated show. Its May premiere drew in 9.8-million viewers, a record for the network.

TweetSarah Jessica, Broderick welcome twins
“The View” and Barbara Walters made it official — and it’s cheaper than sending out birth announcements — Sarah Jessica Parker & Matthew Broderick’s twins have been born.
According to WTRF in Ohio, which first reported the story, the baby girls were born the Tuesday morning, July 23; Broderick and Parker are at the East Ohio Regional Hospital in Martins Ferry with the surrogate mother, the station reports.
Broderick is 47, and Parker is 44. They announced they were expecting twins via surrogate back in April.
According to Usmagazine.com, Broderick joked to David Letterman he was “nervous even thinking about” parenting twins.
“I’m ready. You know, I’ve asked people, ‘What’s it like to have twins?’ One father said, ‘I don’t recommend it,’” quipped Broderick — currently starring in The Philanthropist on Broadway. “But the rest have been very positive.”
The twin girls are the second and third children for the couple, who wed in 1997, and who are parents to James Wilkie Broderick, 6.

TweetJessica Simpson gets 2nd reality show
Jessica Simpson is searching for beauty.
As Us Weekly reports, Simpson will headline the “The Price of Beauty,” which will follow her travels around the world in search of what people find beautiful and why. The show will air on VH1.
Asked to do a show about true beauty, Simpson — who endured much body bullying in January for performing in a pair of unflattering high-waisted jeans — said she was “immediately intrigued.” “I have always believed that beauty comes from within and confidence will always make a woman beautiful, but I know how much pressure some women put on themselves to look perfect,” she said in a statement Monday.
Shooting begins in mid-July, with the show airing sometime next year.
Simpson, 28, used to star in MTV’s “Newlyweds” with her ex, Nick Lachey.

TweetPlea deal reached in Chris Brown’s assault case
Chris Brown won’t hear the clink of a jail cell doors closing after all.
The R&B singer will not serve jail time for beating up former girlfriend Rihanna as part of a plea deal reached Monday, June 22, the Associated Press reports.
Brown will instead serve five months probation for the assault on the pop princess in February.
The 20-year-old was accused of an early morning attack on 21-year-old Rihanna before the Grammys; both were supposed to perform at the show but withdrew.
Brown was charged March 5 with two felonies — assault likely to cause great bodily harm and making criminal threats.
The plea deal announced just before a premlimary hearing in a Los Angeles court was set to begin.
Rihanna was prepared to testify on Monday.
She undoubtedly has a lot to say.
According to a search warrant previously posted on CNN.com, a text message from a woman Brown had sex with led to Brown’s vicious attack on Rihanna.
Note: Robyn F is reportedly Rihanna. Her full name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty.
“Robyn F. turned to face Brown and he punched her in the left eye with his right hand. He then drove away in the vehicle and continued to punch her in the face with his right hand while steering the vehicle with his left hand. The assault caused Robyn F.’s mouth to fill with blood and blood to splatter all over her clothing and the interior of the vehicle.
“Brown looked at Robyn F. and stated, ‘I’m going to beat the s—t out of you when we get home! You wait and see!’”
The detective said she then used her cell phone to call her personal assistant, Jennifer Rosales, who did not answer.
“Robyn F. pretended to talk to her and stated, ‘I’m on my way home. Make sure the police are there when I get there.’
“After Robyn F. faked the call, Brown looked at her and stated, ‘You just did the stupidest thing ever! Now I’m really going to kill you!
Does the plea deal surprise you? Comment below.

TweetPerez Hilton calls will.i.am a liar and coward, calls Fergie worse
A clearly distraught Perez Hilton calls Black Eye Peas rapper will.i.am a coward in a video posted to his website, perezhilton.com.
The celebrity blogger says will.i.am’s manager, Polo Molina, clocked him at least three times during an altercation outside of a Toronto nite club.
The writer’s eye bled after the reported attack outside an after party Monday, June 22, following the MuchMusic Video Awards.
“I would have more respect for you if you hit me yourself,” a fuming Hilton says.
Hilton tweeted after the alleged assault that lead to Molina’s arrest by Toronto police.
In his video, Hilton, whose real name is Mario Lavandeira, calls will.i.am a liar for an earlier video claiming a fans had attacked Hilton.
See earlier Celebrity Worship entry here.
“will.i.am is a coward and a disgusting human being for lying,” Hilton says. He later calls will.i.am and Molina subhuman, thugs and worse, unprofessional.
Hilton, who also calls Fergie a fugly b-word during his statement, says that the Black Eye Peas tried to intimidate him earlier that evening. Someone in their group allegedly bumped Hilton.
Both men say a confrontation started after will.i.am confronted Hilton about statements Hilton made on his website about Black Eye Peas band members.
Hilton, who is gay, says he called will.i.am a f-word, the most hurtful word he could think of used against gay people, because he wanted to anger the rapper.
Regardless of what he said, Hilton says he didn’t deserve to be attacked. He says it is despicable that many have said the beating was justified.
“I like writing about other people’s drama, ” he says. “I don’t want drama in my own life.”
By the end of the video, Hilton is crying.
“I am a human being and no one deserve to be treated that way,” he says. “Violence is never the answer.”

TweetJon’s Father’s Day was with kids, minus Kate
Again and as usual, Usmagazine.com is all over the Jon & Kate Plus 8 story, whether there is one or not — and remember, BIG announcement has been promised by the TLC network when the show airs tonight.
According to Us, Kate has “gone away for a few days,” so Jon took the opportunity to talk to the press:
In an impromptu press conference Sunday afternoon, the Jon & Kate Plus 8 star signed autographs and answered questions with the dozens of people who stopped by to get a look at the family. Although he mainly told the group that they would have to watch the show for answers, when asked where his noticeably absent wife, Kate, was, he replied, “I have no idea.” He also told onlookers that he has not seen 23-year-old Deanna Hummel — the school teacher with whom Us Weekly first reported he was having a three-month affair — as much as he once had. “Not with the things that went down,” he said.
He wouldn’t talk about a possible divorce, which is what everybody’s thinking tonight’s BIG ANNOUNCEMENT is all about, or about his recent trip to New York City to look at apartments for rent at Trump Place.

TweetO’Neal proposes to dying Farrah Fawcett
Let’s not be cynical here, but maybe it’s a pension thing. A life insurance thing. OK, let’s go with romantic, soul-mate thing:
According to People.com, Ryan O’Neal proposed to Farrah Fawcett, and she said OK.
Though Farrah Fawcett is “fighting for her life,” Ryan O’Neal told Barbara Walters, “I’ve asked her to marry me, again, and she’s agreed,” ABC News reports.
O’Neal’s interview with Walters is set to air Friday, June 26, on 20/20.
“I used to ask her to marry me all the time,” O’Neal said for the interview. “But … it just got to be a joke, you know. We just joked about it.”
UPDATE: Entertainment Tonight is reporting that Fawcett, 62, is back in the hospital. ET also reports that Ryan O’Neal is trying to arrange for their son Redmond to temporarily leave jail to see his ailing mother for what may be one final visit.

TweetPerez Hilton Tweets: ‘will.i.am beat me up”
UPDATE: Polo Molina, the manager of the Black Eye Peas, has turned himself in to Toronto Police on allegations he blacked celebrity blogger Perez Hilton’s eye, the Associated Press reported just before noon on Monday, June 22.
Being an opinionated loud-mouth apparently got Perez Hilton a smacked down.
In a very strange turn, the celebrity blogger used the social networking site Twitter to announce that he had been assaulted by Black Eye Peas rapper will.i.am.
“I was assaulted by Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas and his security guards. I am bleeding. Please, I need to file a police report. No joke,” Hilton wrote at about 3 a.m. Monday, June 22.
will.i.am in a response video, said that Hilton called him the F-word, a derogatory term used to offend gay people, at an after party in Toronto following the 2009 MuchMusic Video Awards.
In the video, will.i.am says he had confronted Hilton about Hilton’s nasty comments earlier that night to Black Eye Peas singer Fergie.
Hilton apparently told Fergie he didn’t like her music at an earlier after party.
“(Hilton) really disrespects her. He like digs in and just like hurts her feelings,” Will.I.Am says in the video. “It is one thing to tell your opinion and it is another thing to go overboard and be blatantly rude.”
At that second after party, will.i.am says he confronted Hilton about being rude to members of his group. An argument broke out.
“He said ‘that was very f**ed of you for coming at me like that’,” will.i.am says in the video, adding that the Hilton, who is gay, then called him the f-word.
Will.I.Am says fans went after Hilton.
“Tonight was a good night, but it ended kind of crazy,” will.i.am says. “On my way to London.”
Hilton apparently has a different version of the story.
“I spoke to my lawyer. I really need to talk to the authorities. Please come to the SoHo Met Hotel. Have called the police. Need them here,” he wrote an hour after the Twitter post about the alleged assault.
The Toronto police arrived a short time late, “Thank you. Please stop calling them,” Hilton tweeted.
“Thank u all from the bottom of my heart for ur concern. The police are investigating the assault now. I did the right thing by reporting it,” he wrote even later.

TweetJon Gosselin: Apartment hunting in NYC!

Jon Gosselin went back to the family home after apartment hunting in New York City.
People.com says a source “close to the situation” has confirmed that Gosselin, 32, looked at rooms at Trump Place, on Manhattan’s Upper West Side.
“(Jon) has been going back and forth to New York a lot” a source told People. The search for real estate (first reported on Gawker.com) comes in the wake of news and an evocative teaser ad that Monday’s episode of Jon & Kate Plus Eight will include a MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT about the future of their family.
D-I-V-O-R-C-E, we’re thinking. But we’ve been wrong before.
Kate, 34, went somewhere early in the day, and the kids were seen playing outside, People reported.

TweetMagazine: Kate Gosselin is an out of control spanker
Blowing a whistle while mommy is on the phone can get you a slap on the backside in the Gosselin home.
A paparazzi captured images of a fed up Kate Gosselin spanking one of her 5-year-old sextuplets, according to In Touch Weekly.
The magazine is on stands now.
The Jon & Kate Plus 8 star with the oddly coiffed hair apparently swatted little Leah.
Moments before, Gosselin, who was on the phone, told the girl to stop blowing a whistle.
She “seemed to lose her temper” when Leah blew the whistle again, an unnamed witness told the magazine.
“The girl was screaming and crying,” the witness said.

TweetAl Roker - of all people - battles with Heidi and Spencer Pratt
Today show weatherman Al Roker let Twitter do his talking after a rather combative interview Monday, June, 15, with reality stars Heidi and Spencer Pratt.
Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy
“Heidi and Spencer are an interesting couple. famous for…being infamous. Bad and vacuous behavior. I think we’re at minute 11 of their 15,” Roker tweeted.
Roker’s message came minutes after he interviewed the whinny and self-important stars of “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here” and MTV’s “The Hills.”
It was ‘on’ from the the word go with Roker asking Pratt about his goal to play villain.
“This behavior, this is not going to continue now that you are off the show,” Roker later asked. “You say villain, some people say jerk.”
“Tomato, tomato,” Spencer Pratt responded.
The couple, who was baptized on “I’m A Celebrity” by actor Stephen Baldwin, went on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show and responded to Roker’s “rudeness.”
Heidi Pratt said she ‘definitely’ didn’t appreciate the attack and advised women to be careful around Roker, described as a mean, screaming weatherman.
“I was crying afterwards because I couldn’t believe I felt personally attacked. He was yelling at me and saying ‘do you feel proud of this’,” Heidi Pratt said. “I wanted to say to him, do you feel proud of how you’re talking to me right now. I’m just a young woman and you’re coming at me so aggressively and meanly and mean-spirited.”

TweetPageant: Prejean’s tiara taken for poor attendance, bad attitude
Pageant queen Carrie Prejean was dethroned Wednesday, June 10, because she behaved like a mean queen, Miss California pageant executive Keith Lewis told CBS’ The Early Show.
“It was a combative relationship. It was just very difficult for us. We tried to meet halfway, and it was obvious that wasn’t going to happen,” Lewis said. “And finally, there was a point where the organization really had to stand up and say, you know what, it’s time for us to move on and get back to the business of beauty.”
The Miss California title now belongs to Tami Farrell, A former Teen Miss USA.
A pink and plastic firestorm ignited at this year’s Miss USA Pageant when Prejean, answering a question from celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, opposed same-sex marriage.
Prejean finished the pageant runner-up to Miss USA and soon after became a poster child for the National Organization for Marriage, a group that opposes same-sex unions.
There was backlash from those on both side of the gay marriage debate.
Semi-nude photos of Prejean surfaced as her relationship with pageant officials worsened.
The move to fire the controversial beauty reversed pageant owner Donald Trump’s May 12 decision to keep Prejean on.
Since Trump’s announcement, the pageant organization says Prejean consistently broke her contract.
She was missing “tens and tens” of public appearances, Lewis told Early Show host Julie Chen.
“She was unavailable. She didn’t want to make them. She didn’t want to make any appearances in Hollywood. She was just really difficult to work with,” Lewis said.
Prejean had several excuses, he said.
“From I’ve got other commitments to I’m not just Miss Hollywood. I need to be other things and making other things in the state,” Lewis said.
He said he speaks to Prejean through her attorney, the general counsel for the National Organization for Marriage.
Chen asked Lewis if her thought Prejean would fight the decision and attempt to get her title back.
“I don’t think she ever really wanted to have the title afterwards because that wasn’t consistent with her behavior,” he said. “I think if you tell your boss, I’m not going to do the job, I’m going to do whatever I want, you can’t tell me what I’m going to do, I think that you expect that your boss is going to say to you, you know what, you’re probably not supposed to be in this job anymore.”
Billy Bush of Access Hollywood apparently delivered the news to Prejean that she was fired.
She told Bush that she began receiving text messages about her firing shortly after learning of his call.
“And I started to laugh because everyone’s been cooperating and everyone’s been getting along so well,” she said. “This is the first that I’ve heard of it. This is funny to me. I have no idea what’s going on.”

TweetTrump to Carrie Prejean: “You’re fired”
Donald Trump has given controversial beauty pageant queen Carrie Prejean the boot.
Miss USA stripped Prejean of her Miss California title Wednesday June 10, the LA Times reports.
Trump, the pageant’s owner, approved the firing. Prejean has allegedly been a very, very bad pretty, pretty princess.
PopEater.com reports that she treated pageant official like $$%$# and didn’t fulfill her contractual obligations, refusing to appear at more than 30 pageant related events.
The move reverses Trump’s May 12 decision to keep Prejean on despite semi-nude photos and conflicts with pageant officials.
A pink and plastic firestorm ignited after Prejean spoke against same-sex marriage at the Miss USA pageant.
Prejean finished the pageant runner-up to Miss USA and went on to became a poster child for the National Organization for Marriage.

TweetTransformers star Shia LaBeouf opens up about insecurities
Fame and wealth aren’t cures for insecurity.
Shia LaBeouf, star of the soon to be release film Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, will be featured in PARADE magazine Sunday, June 14.
The magazine appears in the Dayton Daily News.
LaBeouf tells PARADE that he sometimes feels he is living a meaningless life.
“I know I’m one of the luckiest dudes in America right now. I have a great house. My parents don’t have to work. I’ve got money. I’m famous. But it could all change, man. It could go away. You never know,” LaBeouf says.
LeBeouf says he doesn’t know where his insecurities come from and he doesn’t handle fame well.
When he feels insecure, the 23-year-old stops his bike on the side of a busy road to see if people passing by recognize him, the PARADE article says.
