Exclusive: Carrie Prejean’s ‘Still Standing’ Hits Bookstores November 2009
by Big Hollywood
Regnery Announces Plans to Publish De-Throned Miss California Carrie Prejean
WASHINGTON, D.C. -Regnery Publishing announced today it has signed a publishing contract with former Miss California Carrie Prejean. Her new book, Still Standing, will be released in November 2009.
Prejean attracted national attention when she answered a question at the Miss USA Pageant defending traditional marriage. The unprecedented personal attacks that ensued eventually culminated in Prejean being stripped of her Miss California crown. But the 22-year-old won the respect of millions for modeling something other than evening gowns and swimsuits – the courage of standing up for her convictions.
Now she will tell her side of the story, answering such questions as what happened behind the scenes at the pageant, why she answered the Perez Hilton question as she did, what really led to her losing the Miss California crown, and how she has been forced to battle the left’s double-standard on free speech and the bias against conservatives – particularly conservative women – who stand up for their beliefs.
Prejean is represented by Lee Hough with Alive Communications, Inc.

When will her Fox News show start?
And AOL has a poll on Obama. Take the poll here:
http://news.aol.com/article/obama-approval-rating...
You go girl! Fight Socialism and fight Democrats and fight for America!
Beautiful women always seem to end up conservative. Good for her.
I will be in line to buy her book !! You go girl, you are an angel.
Brains, beauty, morality, and courage. That's a hard combination to beat.
But will it also have pictures of Miss Prejean still standing?
Funny, she answered the same as Obama did during campaign!
What conviction, morality and the courage to stand up against everythign thrown at her….. I am so glad to see Perez Hilton has been outsted….. I am very happy for her and proud of her. I hope her book goes straight to number 1 and she gets her own show on FOX…
Carrie should run for office – CA – who do you want to represent you – Pop-eye Pelosi, Barking Barbara Boxer or this beautiful young woman who was brave enough to stand up for her moral convictions?
Good for her.
the left has a double standard on free speech? bs. that's like saying the left would investigate Bush over and over about draft dodging, illegal wars, etc, but won't look at Obama's citizenship issue and possible illegitimacy of his presidency.
oh, wait a sec………………………………….
what are you talking about? the left has Reno, Napolitano, and many more sasquatchian lookin broads. that's not hot??
In reference to his infamous comment, Perez Hilton was the dumb one in this instance, not Carrie. Had he kept his stupid trap shut, Carrie Prejean would have gone onto obscurity. Even had she received the Miss Universe USA crown, she still would have probably gone onto obscurity. Instead, he provided conservatives with a pop culture figure as they are starved for pop culture icons who agree with them, and now she will make much, much more money than she would have had she not been known.
Carrie Prejean, Not just another pretty face.
Peabrain Hilton must have his panties in a bunch right now.
Don't forget the wise latino…uh…latina.
Haha…See? Carrie will be rewarded by the free market because she had the courage to do the unpopular thing. We win in the end, too! As Glenn Beck is so fond of reminding you liberals, progressives, communists, socialists, and perverts, WE Surround YOU!
That's a pretty damning poll.
It's a TAD unfair in that the President is pushing a lot of the agenda, but it is CONGRESS who is letting him get his way and congress who is responsible for the spending. If Obama's overall ratings are "stongly disapprove", then congress' ratings would be "criminal".
I just took it. According to the results, he ain't doing very well.
It's funny how Perez Hilton and his like mined people push their agenda off on everyone including school age kids. But you say a word on the side of morals and your hated.
What is unbeleivable is the question itself – a litmus test in disguise. The left i.e. Democrats is all about hypocrisy – double standards and the like, In fact, no rational person could support the Democrat party which is why it needs to constantly refill its ranks with immigrants who not acclimated enough to know better. Democrats are the party of the KKK, of fascism, of something for nothing. To look at what would happen if the Democrats are not defeated look to the black family, and what 100% support for Democrats has done to it, and to the black commnuity in general. Democrats and their supporters in the media are arrogant, vicious people – look what they tried to do to this poor woman, all for having pretty much the same view as OBAMA – although Democrats, who after all are the soul of hypocrisy, know that OBAMA isn't REALLY against gay marriage – he just has to lie to get elected. That's why, in addition to being hypocrites, Democrat leaders are liars as well (and proud of it). These are the characters who through media support were elected.
Just when I think Amercia is losing her moral compass, someone comes along like Carrie Prejean. She is a role model for all young women. She is brave and sticks by her convictions with pride. This kind of conviction and bravery scares the living hell out of the left. So happy to see everyone's comments here supporting this young lady.
Matthew 5:10
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
We still love you, Carrie. Putz Hilton received the black eye out of that. And, God Blessed you for standing up for His standards.
Me too, I voted. The only one that is a little different question is what is important to you. Over 50% said the economy.
why to go, you are sooooooo right.
I am floored by the amount of tension this gorgeous girl started over her OPINION… I though that there was a thing called FREE SPEECH in this country, if it is up to the LEFT and PROGRESSIVES we would have NONE OF IT…. they would quell any free speech and only allow there agenda out there… it is pathetic that the people that want the gay rights movement and all of there other TALKING POINTS out there if it SUITS THEM… what a crock, I want Mrs. Prejean to sell this book and sell it well and then go onto BIGGER AND BETTER things that will fly in the face of the LEFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I gather you would want Perez Hilton to show up and defend your rights to speak up right?
Yeah because being beautiful and young are fine qualifications for representing people…
Wow I love the relationships there; liberals all the way to perverts…I guess the liberals are the only perverts out there…
What an opportunist! I watched the pageant for 5 minutes, and saw when the 5 finalists were chosen. The first 4 all hugged each other. The last one announced came over with a smug look on her face and didn't hug, or look at the other contestants. Being from CA, I had seen enough, and no longer had someone to root for; so I changed the channel. She's no martyr! She's in it for the fame and fortune…her 15 minutes should be up!
His standards of putting your half-naked self in front of millions of viewers?
So, you did not agree with her body language, so you verbally assault the women? I gather your parents did a bang up job raising you with moral's and convictions…
No one is trying to inhibit her freedom of speech, She can run off at the mouth all she wants.
Since when had the freedom of speach ment freedom from criticisim? And I thought the freedom of speach was only from the government and not private citizens. Maybe I'm wrong on this…
Any one that thinks freedom of speech is an issue does not understand the relatively simple concept of freedom of speech.
Hahha you guys are too funny… CORRECT… and too funny!
End the end Prejeans got a book, Hilton got a black eye!
Irony is so…. ironic. Ya know?
Criticisim is one thing, but trying to pull her down for the same thing you make a living off is COMICAL….. Perez should have defended her OPINION not criticized it…
Great poll nolo, I took it and was surprised that 0's approval ratings were so low; I know that it is not scientific, but still!
It would be great if Miss Prejean would take over for Shep Smith.
It is not a issue,not at all.. but she has been drudged through the mud for her OPINION….. and the simple concept of freedom of speech is not as simple as you say it is… but that for your insight's…
It is not a issue, at all.. but she has been drudged through the mud for her OPINION….. and the simple concept of freedom of speech is not as simple as you say it is… but that for your insight's…
Yeah, but she isn't the Madonna, and we all KNOW Obama is the Messiah.
The double standard of liberals is just amazing. They've marginalized themselves as complete morons.
What in the sam hell are you people talking about? "Still Standing?" After what? She's only 22, and she somehow managed to trade being Miss California for a book deal…. that's not being persecuted. That's trading up.
She's no martyr for the cause. She's become famous for her bumbling defense of "Opposite Marrige." If this is the public voice of conservative values, than we really need to keep looking. I hope the standard isn't "Well, Perez Hilton, a vapid, aggressive homosexual, didn't like it, so we like it!"
Concepts apparently aren't don't dwell well in your head.
She has run her mouth off and people have responded well at that.. in her favor and against all of the LIBERAL bs rantings… I want this woment o do well VERY WELL……
My Senator is a republican. I won't vote for the lousey bastard … not because he's with Obama.. he isn't, but because he doesn't have the testicular fortitude to stand up to the Dems on my behalf. I want a conversative in office with balls enough to stand up against the immoral, socialistic scum that is the democrated party.
Thoughts apparently aren't doing well in your head either!
I though that there was a thing called FREE SPEECH in this country,—It was a few minutes ago bone head.
We are using freedom of speech right now, and leave it to a liberal or democrate to start throwing put downs out there… yeah there is your FREEDOM OF SPEECH… (bone head) that is funny….. another crying liberal on Breitbart.com… thanks for coming out!!!
Where’s all the women’s groups? Oh yea … sorry … the women’s groups are only for liberal women. So no speaking out for Carrie, non for Palin. Women’s groups should be forced to change their name and stop the false advertising. They should be called “Women for Liberals only. Say anything, do anything to Conservative women – we won’t say a word; we don’t care about those women. Do it to liberal women we’ll come down on you like a monsoon; we’ll get you fired Imus”
Maybe that’s a little long. But it is so true.
Carrie is my girl – the right girl.
"I hope the standard isn't "Well, Perez Hilton, a vapid, aggressive homosexual, didn't like it, so we like it!"
Just take the time to read a couple of comments and you will see that people are applausing her BECAUSE SHE STOOD UP FOR HER BELIEFS. Not because she bashed or offended a gay guy.
I'm sure when she was asked that infamous question that led to a change in her career plans – she didn't give ONE THOUGHT to stupid arse Perez Hilton.
Geesh.
Alba, you're just an angry person aren't you. An opportunist? And Obama isn't? He rode the "first black president" theme all the way to the White House. He's not the first black president. He's the first mutt we have as president. He completely abandoned the fact that he's 50% white. How come he never has any white family members around? He's shameless, not to mention terribly misguided on the concept of "leadership". Leadership is actions, not words. Even the left's own vulgar mouthpiece Bill Maher wrote an editorial basically telling him to shut up, get away from the camera, and do some work.
it worked for BO
She is still standing because the left tried to destroy her and they failed. Yes she traded up – that means she won and the left lost. And you are right, she is not a martyr – martyr's are killed which means they can no longer stand. She is still standing – get it now?
Morality? She's full of morality until she's paid for sexually suggestive modeling pictures. Then it is ok? By the way, she was not canned because of her gay marriage answer. The woman who replaced her is also against gay marriage.
So do the ugly ones, or have you forgotten Jean Kirkpatrick?
I'm sorry, did you say "brains?"
Right Rich…I guess that makes her a socialist and not natural born. lol
The real double standard is the right's single-standard….all us all the time, all others, OUT!
Oh come on! You bark and drool over double standards and then urge Californians to vote for "this beautiful woman?" Surely you can do better than that!
Argue? just a smart debate with someone and of course the usual liberal mantra… throw bombs and put downs…..But, the best freedom of this country is our ability of freedoms!!!! a CLOSE MINDED INDIVIDUAL LIKE MYSLEF DOES NOT KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!!!
Not even remotely possible illegitimacy! You conspiracy theorists are a hoot! Besides, we got to the bottom of the illegal wars thing, didn't we? (ie: both Cheney and Bush have now been exposed as war criminals…it's time to hang both of them like we should with all traitors!)
Yes Happy Man, and one other thing that comes to mind: The only "charisma" the GOP can find these days is in beauty queens and moose-kicking hockey playing quitters.
But, the best freedom of this country is our ability of freedoms!!!! Now there's an incomplete sentence used to express an incomplete thought.
Not just a pretty face….BWA HA HA HA HA.
She's just BARELY a pretty face, and if her "defense" of christianity is what's left, you're in a lot of trouble. No one nominated PH as the spokesman (woman?) for the left wing….but MAN is he a QUEENMAKER for the far right. I think you guys have been duped. Throw all your support behind CP And SP and then watch your place in history slide right into the dustbin.
Um, this has absolutely nothing to do with free speech. Why can't some of you grasp that?
One way or the other we will find out what she is….. if she is a s mart cookie or a complete idiot…. whatever it is, she has made a name for herself in standing up for what she believes in… and I respect the hell out of her for doing that
Sometimes the good guys do win.
WOO HOO!!!! You go girl!!!
Carrie, you ROCK!!!
Thanks for showing the youth of America that they can take a stand and express their beliefs, even when they're unpopular with the mainstream media!
freedom from criticism? Does that include removing a crown? That wasnt criticism and it certainly wasnt constructive… that was a blatant attack on her character for the sake of a political philosophy (that is in the minority have you).
"No one is trying to inhibit her freedom of speech"
So she hasn't lost anything or been treated any differently since what happened at the pageant? Are you really taking this position with a straight face?
Wow, a real though out of you…..I gather you can express your feelings in a proper way with out the verbal putdowns…. and I was saying that, we are using the best freedom in this country the freedom of speech…. but I digress and had to really spell it out for you, another liberal crying!!!
What about what Hilton was doing all that time? Were you watching him and his desperate quest for all the 'fame and fortune' HE's in it for?
Of course you weren't.
And just what does it mean to "surround" a pervert? lol Good point James.
Perez Hilton has never pushed his agenda on school age kids. Heterosexuals are far more likely to "push the agenda" (best sex metaphor yet!) on children…by about 11 to one.
"She's become famous for her bumbling defense of "Opposite Marrige."
No she became famous because she got attacked by lefties for being honest. She inadvertantly exposed the vicious nature of Hollywood liberals like that a-hole Perez Hilton.
"If this is the public voice of conservative values"
She's one of them. Just a normal person expressing a conservative view. She was honest about her values, perhaps you prefer a phony like Arlen Specter?
yeah right… then we will punish her in the progressive media and remove her crown for arbitrary reasons. The good news is the pageant is dead as a result of this fiasco and the REAL Miss America has a book deal, a platform, and a voice against the atrocities of progressive media and assault.
Oh, so saying that she can 'run off at the mouth all she wants' is encouraging her to exercise her freedom of speech? Calling her vile names and condemning her for speaking her opinion– which happens to be different than your own— is?
Look out, kenneth, your bigotted intolerance is showing…
You forgot to add Hilary to that hot list.
Priceless
Pookie, they will try and explain the difference with smoke and mirrors.. in the end, they are just showing us how silly there reasoning is!
Seems like you're persecuting Perez because of righteousness?
No; it's just that it was incredibly encouraging to see someone so beautiful speak in defense of the true definition of marriage instead of struggling in anger and frustration to justify a deviate and aproductive lifestyle. She was a breath of fresh air.
Those protesting Prop 8 voting results are proof positive of my statement. Defiling character, destroying property…while I considered it for a short while, I WILL NEVER VOTE TO GIVE THESE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT.
Your post is self answering…the reason the tension rose after her "opinion" was stated, is that people like you, and me obviously, jumped back on our soap boxes with our CAPS LOCK ON.
Hansy, you are a real piece of work. Typical liberal response, name calling.
I took the poll. The elected ones in Congress should read the writting on the wall, their election is sooner….
I like it…"drudged through the mud." I'm stealing that one.
Seeing as how pop culture is just another term to describe stupid, useless junk that people pay attention to, it's true…conservatives truly don't have much in the way of pop culture. That's also because what true conservatives believe in is timeless, and doesn't need to change, whereas liberalism needs to constantly reinvent itself and utilize new tricks and subversive methods to try and get new members.
Did you really expect a "women's group" to speak out in favor of a beauty pageant contestant….ROFLMAO
WHAT THE HELL DOES PEREZ HILTON DO ,AND WHO THE HELL PAYS HIM T0 DO IT??
Actually, that was GLAAD that persecuted him for his language. Nice try, though.
Not only a black eye, but a serious wound in his pseudo-career.
As for her taking advantage, writing a book and trading up, there was a lot going on behind the scenes from the point where Mr. Trump defended her and the point where she was dismissed as Miss California. There is a market for people that want to know more about what happend in that interim, thus an opportunity for a publisher to make money. How on earth did this lady take advantage of anything? I heard nothing of her shopping her story. Let the publisher print the book, read it if you want and dont if you dont. Sort of like the New York Times, except apparently that question has been answered, no one wants to read it.
"If this is the public voice of conservative values, than we really need to keep looking."
Who's "we", because you're certainly not talking about conservatives.
I guess I'm not queer, Sandy. Your comment didn't offend me at all.
Carrie Prejean claims she is a conservative Christian. She had breast implants but yet the bible condemns narcissism and vanity. One of the seven deadly sins. As a hypocrite she ranks up there with Heidi Montag and her blog filled with bible verses yet she is more vain than anyone else.
How is this not over freedom of speech? Being that I do not have the grasp of this explain it to me would you?
and we are the conspiracy theorists. lol.
She's a beauty pageant contestant, she's supposed to model for pictures like that.
And if you really think her answer to that question had nothing to do with her being fired then I have a bridge to sell you….
Let me get this right. Carrie is a hypocrite for getting breast implants since the Bible "condemns narcissism and vanity".
I wonder which of the 7 Deadly Sins someone who hides behind the pseudonym "The Truth" would be guilty of?
Perez or Carrie?
