Carrie’s Gonna Be A Big Star

I figured from the start that personal attacks on Carrie Prejean, regardless of her views, would only act to turn her into a celebrity. An unknown beauty pageant contestant who opposed gay marriage would remain an unknown beauty pageant contestant if not for all the complaining about what she said. She is now getting one break on television, and if she does a decent job I bet it won’t be her last. Washington Whispers reports she will be a guest-host for one day on Fox & Friends:

Suzanne Scott, Fox vice president for programming, filled me in on the details of the gig for Prejean, who was thrust into the headlines when she rejected gay marriage during the Q&A part of the pageant. “We’re just using her one time,” she said, “to sit with the boys and have some fun.” The boys are cohosts Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade. “She has become a national celebrity in the last few weeks, and it’s a fun thing to do,” said Scott. “It’s a good way to try get a little buzz and fun for the show. We’ll see what happens with it,” she added.

Fox & Friends has used news celebs before, and some have gone on to bigger and better things. Scott recalled using Tiki Barber on Fox & Friends while he was a member of the New York Giants. “He went off to become a TV star,” she said. However, said Scott, there have been no talks with Prejean about a future with Fox.

Who knows how Carrie will interpret the plan to “have some fun” with the boys.  They are the “opposite” people, after all. It will be necessary to do all the filming inside as Carrie is known to have a tough time keeping her shirt from blowing off when it is windy, and the FCC really has a hang up about breasts.

(Aside to Perez Hilton: You were right with regards to the issue of gay marriage, but would have been much better off defending your side of the issue without resorting to personal attacks. Calling her a dumb bitch was not a smart response on your part, regardless of whether or not she is dumb. Look who wound up being the winner on this one, even though you were right.)

    I can’t wait to hear her prime-time speech at the 2012 Republican convention.

    Steve, I would normally agree, except that they will insist that she dress.

    She’s hosting Fox and Friends? Ewww … sleeping with both Steve and Brian must have been something awful.

    This vicious, homophobic, Christian paragon of virtue, is nailing Michael Phelps now without the benefit of marriage.

    Curious.

    Carrie Precum, I mean, Prejean, is the new Anita Bryant.

    I want to completely get government out of the marriage business, but I do not think that “opposed to same-sex marriage” is sufficient for “vicious and homophobic” or “akin to Anita Bryant”.     That would cover far more ground than you want.
