The beauty queen's response to a question from openly gay pageant judge
and celebrity blogger Perez Hilton has received more attention than the
winner, Miss North Carolina Kristen Dalton.
Hilton, who also appeared on the "Today" show, said his question was
relevant and that Prejean should have "left her politics and her religion
out because Miss USA represents all Americans."

In a video blog posted Sunday night, he called Prejean "a dumb b----."
He later apologized in the blog, offering to take Prejean out for coffee
and a "talk."
"I was floored," Hilton told ABCNews.com Monday. "I haven't said this
before, but to her credit, I applaud her for her honesty. However, she
is not a politician, she's a hopeful Miss USA. Miss USA should represent
everyone. Her answer alienated millions of gay and lesbian Americans,
their families and their supporters."
"She lost it because of that question. She was definitely the front-runner
before that," Hilton said, adding that he's "very happy with whom the
judges chose," Miss North Carolina's Kristen Dalton.
