Suddenly settled: Carrie Prejean walks away from lawsuit, gets ”nothing” after ”XXX home video” emerges?

”Carrie Prejean demanded more than a million dollars during her settlement negotiations with Miss California USA Pageant officials — that is, until the lawyer for the Pageant showed Carrie an XXX home video of her handiwork.”

Celebrity gossip site TMZ.com reporting on the sudden settlement of a million-dollar lawsuit filed by Carrie Prejean, former Miss California USA and a lightning rod of controversy in the nationwide battles over same-sex marriage and, more specifically, over last year’s Proposition 8. Prejean became a spokesperson for NOM, the anti-gay National Organization for Marriage, earlier this year, and she also spoke for God during a speech against gay marriage at a recent convention for religious political operatives — both events occurred right here in Washington, DC. It’s reported that she, like her supporter Sarah Palin, has a new book coming out. (TMZ) (Associated Press)
