Your Miss California 2010 is... Not Carrie Prejean

That's all that matters, people.

MISS Universe L.P., LLLP

There's a saying: Any publicity is good publicity.

Here's another: That's a stupid saying.

California has received loads of publicity during the past year because of the Miss California-Perez Hilton thing.

And so, here we go again. Another pageant season is upon us, including Sunday's Miss California USA pageant.

The event is at the Agua Caliente Casino-Resort-Spa in Rancho Mirage. It features a few changes: the number of contestants will increase to 150, and the number of winners will increase to two.

What?

A Miss California USA news release states: "Pageant officials did not confirm if it was a proactive response to the controversy of the last year, but instead asked viewers to tune in live to see for themselves."

Oh come on, just tell us.

"We’re taking care of business by crowning two winners," director Keith Lewis told RadarOnline.com.

Fine... setting TiVo for CW and My Network TV, now.

This year's event also includes 30 seconds of free ad time to the state's largest gay rights group. Equality California announced Thursday that it would be airing a spot that features a teenage girl with two mothers.

Lewis said Prejean can have the same amount of time if she wants to provide a pre-taped message.

I don't care who you have a relationship with but don't be blatant about it. Just live your day to day life like the rest of the population. I choose my friends based on who they are as individual people and their positive qualities and I don't care if they are gay or lesbian.

I feel so bad for all the "modest Americans" out there who just want to live their lives and not have someone else's point of view shoved down their throats. I bet people in the gay community have NO IDEA what that's like! Someone better tell them to get back in that closet and stop being who they are! What kind of world is it when we let people start telling everyone their true feelings?! We should go back to the way it was, when everyone had to pretend to be straight and people were beat to death for people even thinking they were gay.

Don't make it a cause celebre or strut down the street on a parade float carrying a rainbow flag and wearing leather chaps. Do what most heterosexual couples do and keep it to yourself."}],"error":"","totPages":1}
