Lest you think Parker is getting a little "Carried" away with this role, let's not forget that before the SATC craze, it was flop after rom-com flop for this fashionista. So why should she quit a good thing?

Carrie Prejean made her comments while holding the title of Miss California. California is a state that keeps voting for Proposition 8. So really, everyone is criticizing her for doing her job and worse, for being a Californian.

Miss USA and Miss Universe are "no talent required" competitions -- quite obvious if you ever meet any of the talentless, brainless contestants.

Prejean answer was imprudent because once you alienate gay men, who, besides other pageant participants, a few little girls and Trump, really finds beauty pageants relevant anyway?

Prejean might want to take a brief look at Milk and think about how her legacy will hold up over the long haul. It is not the hero of that movie she resembles. No offense intended.

This was not a good week for Bank of America (brother can you spare $34 billion?); Manny Ramirez (fertility drugs? Who does he think he is -- Octomom?); Miss California USA Carrie Prejean (not just leaked topless pics, but leaked pre-implant topless pics!); Jack McCollough's nose (ground zero for Kiefer Sutherland's head); and John Edwards (Rielle wants a paternity test, the Feds are investigating his campaign spending, and Elizabeth isn't sure she still loves him). This week also brought us the Hannity-fueled Condiment-gate (the lamest political food fight since freedom fries), and Pat Robertson claiming that legalizing gay marriage will lead to the sanctioning of bestiality, child molestation, and pedophilia. Enjoyed with a spicy French mustard, no doubt. At least things end on an upbeat note: a very happy Mother's Day to all my fellow HuffPost moms. And happy birthday to HuffPost, which turned four years old yesterday!

Carrie Prejean has become a sort of anti-Susan Boyle. It isn't just that she's a bigot, per se. There is no shortage of bigots. They just usually don't wear tiaras.

Miss California, you may find full civil equality for all Americans to be "unnatural" and not "Biblically correct," but, frankly, neither are your Jugs for Jesus and your Caps for Christ.
